Donald Russell,
the Scottish butchers, was set up about forty years ago when it only
supplied the trading industry. As a butcher they don’t just supply beef,
but any meat you can think of including poultry, fish, game, ready
dishes, pasta, meal planner boxes and speciality breads and quiches.
Nowadays, their products are available to buy online. You have a choice
whether you have your order sent chilled or frozen. They hold the Royal
Warrant.
Donald Russell has been very generous to me this past year. They have sent me numerous products ranging from meat, pot roasts to curries and deserts in return for feedback on their products and services. They have also, invited me to a delectable meal at the fabulous The Balcon back in February where I met their friendly marketing team.
Fast forward to a cold December night last week I got home to find a big Christmas party box including a Mosimann’s Christmas pudding, which is sold separately – what was not to like about it? Fantastic! The products came frozen in a chilled box with dry ice and inside a very nice letter. They have a selection of Christmas boxes and products on sale at the moment.
The Box
The Christmas box contained the party season favourite party food:
– 16 juicy Pork Chipolatas
– 8 Mini Fish Cakes – once cooked they were crisp in the outside and creamy inside
– 24 Beef Meatballs – full of flavour
– 10 flaky Mini Ham Croissants
– 12 Mini Steak Burgers – they were thick and juicy
– 16 meaty Mini Artisan Sausage Rolls
and separately the
– Mosimann’s Christmas pudding, delicate and healthy version but still full of the Christmas flavours
I invited my long suffering neighbours, who have been my guinea pigs for the last 23 months, for a bite to eat and an early festive celebration. Pretty good indeed! I even made some light brioche burger buns to go with the mini steak burgers. Below is the recipe adapted
from CommeÇa via New York Times and Smitten Kitchen.
