A taste of the moors

Nidderdale Moorland Group

#GreatBritishGameWeek, 6th-12th Nov returns this week.

A chance to celebrate the fantastic variety of wild game we have available in this country.

We were invited to talk to the ladies of our local WI this week and demonstrate just how easy game is to not only prepare, but also cook and, with a variety of wild game available to try, there was something for everyone to taste from grouse, pheasant, mallard and partridge to a delicious Game Pie from our local butcher's.

Game is a healthy choice that is low in fat and cholesterol, sustainable and free range with low food miles.

Incredibly versatile and full of flavour, game can be used in any recipe from curry's to ragu, roasts, steaks or stir fries.

Many thanks to Kirkby Malzeard WI for inviting us along and for an enjoyable and interesting evening.

Thanks also to Tim at Highside Butchers and our local estates for supplying game for the evening.
