[iaineasy]

That no doubt is Bambi's mother, does anyone else have some good recipies for cooking the game old gal!!:))

[Pickle]

I would say pie, but only because I don't know what a "pudding" is that involves meat?! Some weird English thing? Pudding to me is something best served with icecream!

[iaineasy]

pudding is a kind of dumpling pastry made out of suet, flour and water with a pinch of salt, mixed rolled out flat, then meat red onion seasonings placed on it with a veggie oxo and wrapped into a parcel. Them you wrap the parcel of good fortune with tinn foil and place in a pressure cooker for 2 hours. take it out unwrap said foil parcel and cut open pudding add salt and pepper lots of butter. OH MY GOD I HAVE TO MAKE PUDDINBG NOW I SAID IT LIKE THAT!!

I will happily make them for you and mr pickle any time!!

[Pickle]

Mmmmmm, OK that does sound good!

Venison casserole every time. Much simpler, takes moments to prepare and tastes as if you've spent all day slaving over a hot stove.

[SimonM]

...with spicy red cabbage, chestnuts...mashed potatoes....a gravy with with redcurrant jelly and/or port and/or red wine etc etc...freezes very well too so you can make lots at once!

[woofmarkthedog]

Individual Pies, rough crust for sure (& egg glazed) in proper old school pie dishes

Pudding pastry as In Steak & Kidney, too "sweet" with the venison , it needs the right pastry as above but use proper suet

River cottage "Meat" book has a good recipe

Crushed swede mash but drained well as It can be watery,butter & white pepper (shallots in the pie ,halved)), Calvo nero lightly blanched, lightly fried with thin garlic & good olive oil, salt ,lemon.

Quince or Medlar jelly/ preserve on the side.

Good colours, good textures, tastes ( if you get it right) great

Then drink, Oh what to drink ? but that's another thread

Good luck

That venison is soooo dry it really needs to be in some kind of casserole or stew.

I'm with CW1 and SimonM.

Oh, and...err...yes, I would go for a casserole/stew type dish too (as it can be very dry otherwise)

I thought pudding was also 'afters'?

Like bread and butter pudding (yeuch!) and chocolate pudding (yum) and stuff.

Pies are what you put meat in.

However, SUET pudding, being steak and kidney or apple and raisin, can be either.

Doncha love words?!
