Author Notes
In the early '60,s I lived on a dairy farm near Bulawayo, in what was the old Rhodesia. It was owned by a Polish gentleman who was the most inventive cook I have known.
Bruno was a great experimenter, besides making his own wine from a small vineyard, he was a master at concocting a range of liqueurs.
We would catch Barbel (Catfish) at a local dam and he would pickle and smoke them so they were almost as good as expensive imported Salmon.
He liked to challenge me to come up with new dishes as a form of competition.
One of these was the Venison in Black sauce, which has become a family favourite and passed down to my son. —Norman Johnston
