Wild Venison

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

My friends freezer broke down and she’s given me a bag of defrosted wild venison. We don’t like it. Would anyone like it?

The freezer died yesterday and it’s been in a chilly bin since, but has defrosted. It’s now going in my fridge, along with a couple of packets of mince. Also free.
