I’ve always wanted to try Venison, but never had the opportunity to harvest it myself. The rack of venison from Spring Ridge arrived as promised on the website and was well packaged in a cardboard box and insulated bag, with a couple of freezer blocks for additional safety. Not the most environmentally friendly packaging, but it’s easy to see why it was necessary.
I was surprised at how soft the meat felt, very different to store bought beef or lamb.
I used the recipe on the Australian Meats website and the results were amazing. Cooked to medium rare the meat was tender like lamb, with a flavour somewhere between lamb and beef. Big thumbs up!! All the family loved it, except my wife who is still traumatised by the opening scene of Bambi :-)
Also purchased the smoked fillet which was spectacular, but be warned, it is very rich. To be taken in small portions if you have the self control!!
, I’m an ex Chef and I never thought I would ever get ready made meals, I got laid up from surgery and I just had to give it a go. We both were really impressed, a perfect portion for me and my husband added sides/bread with the curry and tagine , we shared the lasagna and added a salad, we couldn’t pick a favourite. I would highly recommend them and will be ordering them regularly. I have recommended them to all my friends who are tired of shopping and food waste. 🤩
The whole family love the mettwurst, it is so full of flavour. We even have used it for potato bake and other cooking ideas we have. It is also nice in thin slices on cheese biscuits. Definitely have to order more soon.
