It would :D !

I forgot to mention that, so far as I recall, Aero also comes in Aero flavour. Although I don't think there's a Lite version.

Bullhead,

Right on the nail again. You even thought of the A1 as well.

Now for a culinary treat.

It's one of the ingredients of bunny a l'Anglais.

It looks like you need another clue.

The ingredient is a variety of South African venison.

Sorry, are we waiting for me? I thought I'd let anyone else work it out who wanted to. It's Nyala - from Bunny a l'anglaise.

Back to work tomorrow so I'll try to work one out.
