Woodlice omelette?
I might have to try it to believe it.
The British Army/Royal Marines survival training "worm omelette" is actually quite patalable (once you get used to the idea) so I can't see it being too different (apart from the crunchy bits!!)

maggot cheese

Postby Franco » Fri Aug 06, 2004 7:08 pm

Going off on a bit of a tangent... where my dad is from in sardinia they have a cheese, a type of pecorino made with ewe's milk that has small maggots added to it, once the maggots have been in the cheese for a while you take the maggots out and eat them, Ive tried it once and if you try not to think what you are eating they actually taste pretty good!

suckling pig

Postby Franco » Sat Aug 07, 2004 4:05 pm

Fatman,
When I go and vist relatives in Sardinia we often have roast suckling pig done outside, have you try to hog roast a suckling pig or are they too small?

I am planning to try one next week at a barbecue if the weather is ok

Suckling pigs are great , but can cost as much as a 120lb dead weight pig which I normally used,unless you breed your own.I usually paid appx 60/70 pence per lb depending on the source.A tip is have a good pair of scissors to cut the crackling, as knives are difficult to use for that job.

The most pigs I roasted in one weekend was 22, I look back now and think how the hell I managed.

Anyway you have a great time with your suckler, try it with ciabatta bread rolls as this will raise the quality, hmmm I can taste it now.

Regards

3 Gallons ice cold water
6oz salt (preferably iodine free or unrefined)
6oz cure No. 1 (same stuff Franco sells)
1 level tbsp ground white pepper
20 bayleaves or 1tbsp ground bayleaf
1 tbsp ground cloves
3oz brown sugar or replace 3 pints of the water with 3 pints coca cola (not diet) - I prefer the coke, trust me it works!!

This should make enough brine for a whole ham.
I use a food grade plastic container (don't use metal)
leave to cure in a fridge for 14 days turning daily.
When the cure is finished drain and dry the ham thoroughly.

thank's for the recipe spuddy, I'll give it a try!

Could you tell me when and what is Gammon, I mean, as I think about it is it A slice of ham or is it from the shoulder?

Gammon is the term used for the cured meat of the upper part of the hind legs i.e the thighs of the pig.

Spuddy

Cheers for the explanation, just to expand am I right in thinking in order to obtain several slices of Gammon , first cure Ham having deboned it first when cured,then take what you want as Gammon???
