Dear Mr. Connolly,

The following statements are true.

It's late as hell. My grandma passed on Monday after a 4 year battle with cancer. I had an outpatient surgery that included a catheter up the urethra and, lastly, my long term girlfriend and i pretty much just broke up for good. She was amazing and beautiful.

My heart is seriously broken, Mr Connolly.

I just want you to know that you are making me laugh out loud in sheer joy and I feel so much better. You're the best. Thank you so much.

If you're in the rural US, it's the poorest people who eat the most venison. You go out and hunt/poach it and it's nearly free meat.

I was honestly lost on the joke till I read the comments.

[snidelywhiplash]

@empath69 Yeah, it was one of those "DUH" moments some time after I posted the original comment. Cram 70 million people into an island the size of the UK you're not likely to have an oversupply of wild game. : )

To contrast, I found out that in the state of Nebraska (where I live) the Game and Parks Commission have a program for people to get *excess* venison from hunters.  Free. And we have fewer deer than other states. In the E. US deer are like rats. Much tastier, though. : )

[santiano42]

@empath69 Nah, I'm a highlander so venison wanders around in my back garden all the time. Used to know a guy with a rifle whose job it was to cull them, those were tasty times. He was a bit old though so now I've got to pop to the butchers or supermarket. But it's always there on the shelves when I go to Edinburgh and Glasgow!

I guess 13 people are landed gentry and just don't get why he's laughing about the 'pickiness' of these recipes. :P
