OK... I know what a phesant, a boar and a deer (venison) are...but I have never had the pleasure to hunt and shoot a Stilton. Does one use a rifle, shotgun or what?

As to your query, remember, Google is your friend.

Costco gets in some English cheeses at this time of year; better prices than specialty stores. Wensleydale with cranberry, White Stilton, real Cheddar...
Yum!
For venison, how about trying the small butchers in the outlying areas where the hunters take their meat to be processed?
Xmas pud - friendly local Brit shop?

i think either gelsons and/or wholefoods has some game in its frozen section. Seems wrong to buy frozen pheasant but beggars cantbe choosers.

Ask at your local supermarket as they might be able to order it for you..

Yesterday I got all excited because I found squid in a supermarket that I hadn't been to before.. so I asked if they have it in stock often or I was just lucky to find it and I was told that I could just ask them to order it for me any time I want it..

cheese is less of a problem.
wholefoods has a very good cheese section. There are numerous great cheese shops too.
I like the one at sunset junction near silverlake. Also the silverlake cheese store is great. There is another good cheese storein beverlyhillstoo.

They all have a good range of neils yard dairy cheese and many more

Try "Trader Joe's". Loads of stuff there, if a bit pricey. You should be able to get all you need there.
