Buffalo stew

Laverstoke Park do quite a trade in buffalo meat these days and Abel and Cole shifts a lot of it to homes around the South East.  So sometimes it's on special and I get it in the weekly delivery from Abel and Cole as I prefer to get meat and fish when it's on special.  Recently I got a couple of packs of diced buffalo and made a huge stew in the Star Chef with them.
