Roast muntjac with red wine, rosemary and redcurrant & mustard mash recipe

Just in case you are reading this and wondering what on earth muntjac is: it's a type of deer, lighter and generally less gamey than venison with a very low fat content and a wonderful taste which I would compare to rare beef. We get lots of muntjac in the area I live in as we are quite close to where muntjac originated. Well obviously not originally - originally they were from China but were brought to Bedfordshire in about 1900 by the Duke of Bedford. Escapes and deliberate releases have resulted in a fairly wide spread of wild Reeves" Muntjac to give them their full name. Interesting fact - they are believed to be the oldest breed of deer with prehistoric remains found dating back to as long as 35 million years ago!

She mentioned making them previously with golden syrup and suggested we added some mini-marshmallows to make them pretty. The cakes took literally minutes to make an

Slither-io -Gaming Guide For Parents & Review Of The New Toy Range.

Who knew that a game featuring a slithery snake character would prove so popular but the massive hit online game Slither-io seems to appeal to a wide range of ages and crosses gender divide - we like that kind of thing in my busy household of boys and girls. If you too Slither-io fans in your house too you'll be glad to know you can now buy merch from the game with options ranging from cuddlies to collectables with prices staring at under £5. If you are wondering what on earth Slither-io is, here's all you need to know about the huge gaming phenomenon and YouTube hit. It's basically just like the game "snake" oldies like me had on early mobile phones, calculators and desktop computers. You move your snake (or slither as it's called) around the screen eating glowing orbs which make your slither grow while avoiding other snakes. You can play on Android and iOS phones and tablets and there's a browser version for your computer. It's hugely
