Southbank Slow Food Festival & venison sausages

Yesterday I attended Southbank Slow Food Festival which is essentially 2 rows of tents selling organic and exotic foods: from Portuguese jams and Kentish apple juice to organic ham and pheasant supremes.

All nice stuff but a tad on the pricier side, although still cheaper and actually more interesting than Waitrose. I bought myself 6 venison sausages for 5 quid - quite a bargain actually, as you normally fork out more for chopped pig offals stuffed in plastic. The grilled bit I tasted at the stall was superbly palatable: juicy and flavourful with just two basic tastes of venison and pepper in a perfect combination.

The producer - Manor Farm Game - has a very extensive range of yummies such as duck and orange burgers or pheasant, calvados and garden vegetables pies. I will give those a try next time.
