Looks delicious, what mix of beef or game did you use?

Game pie mix off the butcher counter at Sainsburys. It's partridge, pheasant, pigeon and rabbit. I don't think I've seen it before and it's probably seasonal.
 
Looks tasty Jonny!

I had Pigeon Strogonoff for my dinner last time, was yummy :D

* Two Pigeon Breasts
* Sliced Onion
* Sliced Red Peppers
* Half a can of chopped tomatoes
* Some parsley

Then served up with rice, couldn't realy get much fresher either tbh ;)

It is a seasonal line. On my counter it is Venison, Pigeon and Pheasant. Same price though.

Sainsbury's Meat & Fish counters now have lines based on the region the store is in. So apart from the usual Scotch or Aberdeen Angus Beef for example, there will be beef from somewhere near where you live. In my case [Manchester] we get Lancashire beef. The same applies to Lamb and Pork. They are generally sourced from somewhere nearby.

Getting back on topic a little, would the stew be aided in any way by lobbing some veg in. I find stews/casseroles are a good way of getting rid of some of the older veg lurking in the fridge.

Looks tasty Johnny. Can you use any kind of stock?

I wouldn't use chicken stock cubes. Order of preference would be home made stock, supermarket fresh stock, then beef stock cubes. Stock cubes tend to be a bit salty, especially the chicken ones :)
 
Mmm, Mr Remy Martin... Top stuff, use it myself for cooking though I have to cringe myself when I dont have anything else in the cupboard - its too good for cooking! :D
 
Which wine did you use?

I'd expect something with plenty of body, possibly an older wine to get the slightly heavier taste?

At a guess I would say a Californian Zinfandel, possibly the Gallo Family Vineyards Turning Leaf 2006?
That's a complete guess though ;)
