Not even as Ade Edmondsons macabre 'Bacon Sandwich'. We had a Vietnamese that became a pet that way. She was a delightful creature and used to live in the kitchen between the dog basket and the CH boiler - she did like the warmth! She died a natural death and we couldn't bear to send her to the butchers. We seperately had some home grown whites and Durrocks which we kept outside and it was unquestionably the best pork I have ever tasted, made Sainsbury's special organic blah. blah seem both tough and bland in the extreme.

We have half a pig in the freezer at the moment that was from the same boar and sow, and that's very good meat.

G.harman > Distractions all the time eating into workshop time - here's what > arrived today: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > AWEM If they're going to end up on the table & it's your first time with pigs then DO NOT let them be looked upon as anyone's pet. Ultimately it's a waste of time 'cos if you do pluck up the courage to have them slaughter'd then someone's not going to eat them ! Pigs can be great characters & it's diifficult not to feel a certain amount of affection for them. Some of my earliest memories involved the animals we kept for the table along with some of the harshest lessons. I brought my kids up to know the differance between a pet, a wild animal & food for the table. My kids now insist that my grand kids aren't subjected to having "Thumper" or "Porky" placed before them on a Sunday. If you're serious about raising them for the table then find & talk to a slaughtering butcher now. I do my own fowl & rabbit but a pig is a bit too much to eat in one go, there's so much that you struggle to even give it away. My butcher has several folk who all raise to a certain standard, then when one comes of age (so to speak) it's shared out amongst us. Nothing, absolutely nothing compares to the quality & taste. If you've been eating supermarket meat then I feel sorry for you. Make the choice NOW. Pets or food ? > > Distractions all the time eating into workshop time - here's what > > arrived today: [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Make the choice NOW. Pets or food ? Don't worry - they are definately for the table. Last year we had a half pig from some friends in the village who fatten weaners, and the wife and I actually butchered it under supervision, however, it's a lot of hard work and these ones will probably be butchered by the abbatoir as they don't charge a fortune.

As for that quasi grand daughter (13 going on 21 ! ), you hold her close when those scratchings are placed in front of her. Been there, done that. > "Andrew Mawson" <andrew@no_spam_please_mawson.org.uk> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > As for that quasi grand daughter (13 going on 21 ! ), you hold her close when > those scratchings are placed in front of her. Been there, done that. You don't get very small abattoirs these days as there has to be a (paid for) government official in attendance which means the small places cannot afford the overhead - the one I use is: http://www.tottingworth.co.uk/ They only do pigs on Mondays AWEM Train 'em to find truffles then you can make your fortune!! >Train 'em to find truffles then you can make your fortune!!

Must be that new magnetic chuck... Regards, Tony >>> >Train 'em to find truffles then you can make your fortune!! >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Kent > it's East Sussex. WAS is the key word there. Bromley WAS in Kent but got absorbed by London. The official definition of a Kentish Men is those north and west of the Medway. Now it's easier to say the you can tell then by the fact that they are not sure whether they are Londoners or not. Henry > >>> >Train 'em to find truffles then you can make your fortune!! > >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Henry Depends on your terms of reference: Bromley is a London Borough, so administrativrly it's part of the Metrolops, but it's postal address is Kent - ie BR postcodes and not SE postcodes AWEM >> >>> >Train 'em to find truffles then you can make your fortune!! >> >>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > AWEM Same here, Enfield is in North London, but really its Enfield, Middlesex, its also the London borough of Enfield. !!!

According to people I've talked to you can taste the difference in the meat as there is no stress on the animal prior to killing like you get when taking them to an abattoir. One of my wifes friends had to take their cow to an abattoir one year as the home kill guy couldn't get out for some reason and she said it didn't taste as good. Some livestock is something I'd certainly like to try inthe future, I'm very envious Andrew and I'm sure they will be delicious. Regards Kevin |
