This was just proclaimed the "most delicious thing This was just proclaimed the "most delicious thing I've ever eaten". What is it?

It's a gluten-free 100% natural additive and preservative free heritage chicken meatloaf. And it's delicious.

Kath says... "The two I bought were already cooked and caramelised beautifully so I just removed them from the foil, popped on a tray, drizzled over some olive oil and roasted at 180 c for 25 minutes. I’ll definitely be buying again that’s for sure …"
If you're not sure whether or not to add these han If you're not sure whether or not to add these handmade venison schnitzels to your next venison order, then let me give you a tip – they are bloody delicious! 

No added nasties - just a venison steak coated in breadcrumbs, dried parsley, garlic powder, and a generous handful of Parmesan cheese in every crumb. My family have given them the thumbs up and I know you will too.
Just in time for Christmas – beautiful #BroodyGo Just in time for Christmas – beautiful #BroodyGoose Pekin ducks. What a delicious addition to the Christmas table. 🦆🍽️

A gentle reminder — every December, we’re swam A gentle reminder — every December, we’re swamped with people looking for goose for the Christmas table.

But here’s the trick: geese aren’t in season in summer. They’re at their very best in the middle of winter — and that’s now.

We’ve just received the final batch of this season’s beautiful @ugoose.aus pasture-raised geese. Available now by the carton (2 or 3 per box), at wholesale pricing.

If freezer space is tight, I’m happy to hold them at the warehouse and deliver closer to Christmas — just let me know when you order.

🪶 These birds sell out early every year, so now’s the time to tuck one away while they’re in season.

To order: Tap the link in bio, or send me a message and I’ll point you to the right page.
