How did it actually taste? I always find wasabi a powerful flavour; does the choice of wine cope with it?

I love this, it looks fabulously elegant! Of course I'm adapting just to see how it goes. I've always wanted to cook <i>asino</i> (donkey), something that I see often enough on menus. It sounds like such a turn-off (coming from an american upbringing) but it seems the lesser of two evils compared to <i>cavallo</i>---horse!

Rowena, I would love to know if/when you try the dish with donkey! Duncan, you're right elk <i>is</i> impossible to find in London. So try the venison. The whole dish was excellent and the wasabi flavour is very muted. The wine copes perfectly well. I thought that it was a great match. Thanks both of you for your comments.
