Just had Alex Wilde's first discussion event yesterday! Turned out so well!

The knowledgeable speakers - John and Nicola Fletcher form Seriously Good Venison led the talk, and joined the table was a very diverse group of participants!

We had a Medieval Cook from Medieval Methil (http://www.medievalmethil.co.uk/) - Fife's Medieval re-enactment society; A lady from local library; people who just love art and food and, of course, the 'Fans' of the Fletchers!

What I can remember most clearly was John said that the venison in supermarkets are mostly from New Zealand, despite the fact that there are over 20 deer farms in Scotland now! I will definitly get some venison (even just the cheap cuts!) from the Fletchers next week - they will be selling at St Andrews Farmer's Market on the 6th Feb.

The duck soup was amazing! Haven't had it for ages. So here's another thing to add to my list of 'things that make me admire Alex' - she cooked the soup without tasting! And the vegan soup was nice as well - yes, we have a vegan option every week!

For the next week's event (Sun 7th Feb), Alex invited Eva Schonveld from Transition Scotland to lead the discussion and we will be serving a roasted garlic and potato soup! Limited Places left!
