Don't know about the temperature but I'd bring extra just in case. It's Perthshire, it can be bitterly cold at times. We'll hope it's a warm early Spring though
Food..........how about I bring along the *huge* stockpots, and since I still have the venison ribs and hough that I was intending to make into stew at the New Year meet that didn't happen, that makes one big pot of stew to be going on with. I'm not offering to feed everybody to the full but if that's there then there'll be some for all but we'd need to make rice, couscous, or naan or even just buttered rolls to fill it out.
I also got one of the smoked ham joints in Tesco just as they did a final reduce and it's in the freezer. I could start that as the base for an ongoing soup pot ? Lentil ? a la Graham_S ? It means there's hot food, suitable for a lunch for folks, again it would need filling out with something though.
Doc has suggested rabbits too.
Happy to bring the big girdle along and do the cheese scones, tattie scones and oatcakes ............not *all* of them, this Meet is getting kind of big, but no objections to showing how and letting folks get on with it for themselves.
Lots of good cooks in the company though, anybody else got suggestions ?
Oh, and my friendly neighbourhood poacher (he who was a butcher to trade) has been making Lorne sausage........from venison
I could see if he'd make up a couple of 5lb blocks of the square slice ?
It's not hung venison so it's not gamey. HWMBLT who ate an entire block by himself for breakfasts for a couple of weeks said it tasted like good steak.
I'll see what sort of price he'd take for them, shall I ?
cheers,
M
