Walt Disney or carnivore?

Todays chapter headed " Eating Bambi " had two wonderful recipes - Venison with sweet- sour chard and Blackberry and hazelnut friands. 
Both were delicious, but I get ahead of myself!
" Venison, like rabbit , is a meat whose popularity has been killed by Walt Disney" says Mr Slater. Well I have overcome my reluctance to eat rabbit and I have always liked venison. I agree with Mr Slater, once ".... butchered all meat becomes less challenging......."
The chard proved impossible to obtain from supermarkets and farm shops, but I found a ready prepared pack of spinach and chard so that had to do. Sorting chard from spinach took some time and I didn't really end up with enough chard stalks. However the result was still good and the sauce made from pan juices - excellent. 
The Blackberry and hazelnut friands were delicious. I used the blackberries I had picked earlier this year and frozen. Just wish I had had some of the special friand tins - will be on the look out for some now.
