Venison Stroganofferings
A tasty, hearty winter warmer that permeates to the cockels of your hunger and leaves you glowing with contentment.
Forget weetbix. This main will strengthen the scrawniest young lad into a rugby hero!
We are a culture that thrives on game hunting. I invented this recipe from experimenting on the beasts my Dad enslaved in central Otago and southland and draged to our dinner table!
And more recently my game hunting cantabrian friend.
It's a hit at dinner parties.
