@ Fatman

I contacted Foyles to source the Cotswold Cookbook, knowing it to be out of print. This was their reply:

Unfortunately we do not have a copy of The Cotswold Cookbook, and I
have not been able to find any record of it on our database.

The only June Lewis Cotswold's book I can trace are Walking The
Cotswolds and one called The Cotswolds, which is in a 'Life &
Traditions' series. Both these titles are out of print.

It is possible that a website specialising in out of print titles could
help you. You may wish to try www.exedra.co.uk or www.abebooks.com.

Sorry that we could not be of more assistance on this occasion.

Could you kindly check your copy for its title, publisher, ISBN and let me know, so I can pursue the search?

Many thanks, Mike. I've secured a hardback copy for myself from "Elmfield" and here is their complete reply:

Yes I do have another couple of copies of 'The Cotswold Cookbook' in stock.
I sold one yesterday (which I assume is to your friend) and so that copy
won't show up online but I do have a paperback copy listed online (may have
a different ISBN) and also have several other hardbacks in stock but haven't
had time to put one back online yet to replace the sold one. I'll do that
now but it might not show up for 24 hours depending on which site you are
searching - alternatively you can order straight from me via email or phone.

The hardback is �8 + �3 p&p or the paperback �5 + �1.50 p&p.

1. Cheques in UK sterling made payable to 'Elmfield Books'

Fatman, my family is originally from Wolfhagen and Kassel, not far from Hamelin. My father, geboren in Texas on a farm in the German section, grew up on a farm where my grandparents butchered their own beef and pork and made their own sausage and ham. They had a smokehouse. My oldest uncle was also a farmer and made his own.

I have just returned from Mexico after living in Germany in der Odenwald (Sued Hessen) for 3 years. Mexico is a wasteland for good German sausage, so I would love to have some of your friend's recipes. In German is OK. Send me a private message and I will send you my e-mail address.

Linda

I will respond soon.

Fatman

Could you possibly send me some recipes too?

Colin

[Fatman]

I hope this is well worth the wait:-

10lb pork including about 40% fat.

4 x teaspoons of salt ( heaped)

2x teaspoons of quatre-epices

Ground black pepper to taste

Also add plenty of parsley, sage or thyme or a mixture of all three.

Add breadcrumbs or rusk if you desire, sometimes I do other times I don't.

If using water, then add no more than a cup full.

Now try this recipe and get back to me with results and then we can move forward.

Regards

Fatman

A bit high on the fat isn't it?

[Fatman]

Aris

Try the recipe first, then come back and tell me if the fat content is high.

Fatman

It would depend if you used rusk or not. If yes, then the rusk would absorb a fair bit of the fat - if not, I suspect you'd have an inferno if you cooked these on a BBQ.

[Colin]

Fatman

I'll have to scale down the 10 lbs recipe (for two adults + two boys) but tell me: what sort of pork I should go for? Lean + fat or a fatty cut plus extra fat?
Also, rusk: could this be unused bread, sliced and baked again in an oven until it is a gentle brown colour?
Apart from this recipe, could cereals like flaked oats be used in place of breadcrumbs/rusk?

Colin

[Fatman]

Colin

Stick to the recipe and freeze if necessary, but do not scale down.

Fatman
