The good fatty stuff is what makes meat enjoyable.I bought 1/2 a pig today from a mate,1/2 wild boar and 1/2 Oxford,loads of fat and incomparably better than what’s available .
The dripping is to die for and yes I probably will.
I totally agree. A single beef rib on the bbq can be shared for generous enough servings of eye and flank. The tomahawk is a bit of a gimmick and you pay a premium for the bit they then mince or more likely take home.
Quality pork no different except you want it cooked through! A slow cooked whole pork shoulder is a pig out for 12+.
Sorry Chas!

Did you assume my Kosher?

Shoulder, or ideally a whole hand on the bone is my preferred roasting joint for piggies. I never buy leg. If I see loin on offer I'll convert to chops of a sensible thickness unattainable in commercial premises.

One of the few post brexit bonuses, according to my butcher, is that we may see the return of a pork chop with kidney attached.

Single ribs cook well as Cote du Boeuf, I use a cast iron pan to give them 10 min or so a side sear then add butter for a half hour rest in a warm oven. Sublime. The joy of yellow fat.

Just received an email from BT, I've already had a £25 credit because they were a month late with the installation, and now this...

We're sorry we didn't switch on your services when we said we would.
We've added a £161.28 credit to your next bill to try and make up for it.
You don't need to do anything – you'll see your credit on your next bill.

I've no idea what its about, but if they want to give me £161 quid then thats fine with me 😁

couple of things....

Anna (daughter) has done her first interview with the Royal Navy and they have progressed her to the next stage of interviews.

Secondly a couple of scrotes outside ASDA made a sarcastic comment that invited a reply.
One of them: “You look like a prick!”
Me: “You look like a pussy - and a prick will fuck a pussy every day of the week.....”

A few small blessings, saw a Spitfire flying over Headcorn when I dropped in on The Mammy this morning. Called into the butchers on the way and got an aged rib of beef for tomorrow, the fat is the colour of buttercups. To top it I've a side of cod out that will be battered and deep fried later.
I may even treat myself to a drink later too ;)

It's the little things that make the day @chas enjoy,
