I did a game pie following the recipe in this vid at the weekend and it is by far the best thing I have made myself, even with me cheating and using Jus-rol shortcrust pastry!!

The beauty of us shooting our own game is that we can be picky about what goes in and the quality is second to none as I take off every bit of sinew and funk when butchering. I used hen pheasant breast, pigeon breast, young rabbit saddle, Roe fillet and my home cured Guancole from pigs cheeks instead of the Pancetta. The pheasant and pigeon got fried first whilst the rabbit and venison got poached in the red wine making it proper tender!!
If you give it a go you won't be disappointed!!
