About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Game and Poultry

Game tends to be leaner than more traditional cuts of meat and this makes it low in fat and in points. I am exceptionally lucky that I have a deer farm close by (see the links section) and that they also do a fabulous range of other meats.

All values are for raw weight large portions (6 ounces) unless stated

Venison – 4.5 pts
Kangaroo – 4 pts
Wild Boar – 3 pts
Ostrich – 4.5 pts
Crocodile – 3 pts
Rabbit – 3 pts
Rabbit whole ¼ - 2.5 pts
Pigeon whole – 4 pts
Duck breast – 3 pts (with skin 13 pts)

As these tend to be highly flavoured a little goes a long way so you may not need such large portions.

These need to be cooked wither very quickly or very slowly there is no in between or the results will be tough.

Although I love venison I have to say that my favourite is ostrich fillet served rare nicer than any fillet steak I have ever eaten.
