The judges revealed images of 14 different cuts of game meat and the contestants had to identify as many meats as possible.
After the scores were tallied, the bottom five cooks were Tommy, Aaron, Kishwar, Pete and Tom. In round two they had to cook with venison, duck, rabbit, kangaroo, emu, squab, wild boar, pheasant, quail, crocodile, goat, wallaby, camel or buffalo.
It came down to Tom and Pete. Tom’s crocodile was overcooked on the inside and undercooked outside, while Pete’s flavours were hard to wrangle but his quail was cooked to perfection.
