agree  Alison Jenner: I had the same sort of idea, but was obviously thinking too much while typing and took too long...!

  -> Thank you, Alison!
neutral  Claire Cox: I wouldn't classify pork and veal as red meat; I do see what you mean though, as red meat tends to be stronger tasting
5 mins
  -> Yes, the good old ad campaign: "Pork, the other white meat". It really depends on the cuts. Thank you, Claire!
agree  Martina Höppner (X): I think you read that a lot, meaning stronger tasting meat.

red meat and game


Explanation:
Just an idea I had based on the pairing suggestions you sometimes see on wine labels, e.g. that it may be suitable to drink with red meat, game etc. Obviously this isn't about wine, but it's an idea!

agree  BrigitteHilgner: I think this is a good solution since cranberries are frequently used with game. And as far as I am concerned, red meat does not include pork or veal.
