While rummaging for something for dinner yesterday I thought I'd try slicing and frying a piece of boned venison haunch. I thought it would be a little tough and dry but I must say it was rather good. Quite similar to rump steak. It also went very well in my lunch sandwiches.

oh yummy, I love venison. We do get a bit saturated with it at the height of venison season (blame jerky meister and his venison co-ops!) but himself does really fab pickled venison, think pastrami ham but even nicer. I'm hungry again

YOu tease!! I haven't had a decent piece of venison in years, it's gone way out of my price range down here.

Its cheaper than beef round here, and I like knowing the deer have had a happy life and a swift finish. We do the butchering ourselves too so we know exactly what we're getting.

Venison is massively expensive here. I really must find someone who can get me some more cheaply.

How much do people pay then? My haunchs (fallow I was told) were £9.92 a kg from Hampshire Game at a local London farmers market. To be honest I have no idea how much rump steak costs but I thought the venison was better. I will try and track down a supply I can butcher myself, but I may need a larger freezer.

I bet Hampshire Game would sell it for about £2.00 per pound in Hampshire!!........Outside of London, that's all it's worth!...........Not denying that it is food to die for, though...Just the financial value I question.

I get mine from the Wild Meat Co too, www.wildmeat.co.uk, (Robert is very helpful), and there is a chap who sells farmed Venison at Barleylands market,White House Farm I think, based in Maldon, Essex, haunch £10.50/kilo. So on a par with what you are paying Treacy but still cheaper than supermarket beef.

I bought my last haunch at Sparsholt College, Hampshire, after their winter cull. The 10 pound haunch cost £25.00, I believe.
