Recorded,

Just watched it on BBC HD iPlayer, good work WW. The amount of fat coming out of the other guys sausages was a bit much!

[welsh wizard]

Fat was evrywhere. It really was not a good sausage at all, it also had monsterous amounts of salt in them . Obviously all sausages need fat but that was over fatting the sausage.

CHRISTMAS

I am Sooooooooooo sorry to bring this up but I am sat down today setting out this years Christmas order list (yes I have been asked for it at least a dozen times) and it dosent matter how much of this bloody port I drink I am still in no christmas mood - no mince pies though. Anyway I digress.

does anyone have any idaes what they would like to see on a christmas list? At the moment I have Game pies, pork pies, chicken pies, sausages, smoked salmon and crab pate, lemon and orange and cointreau posset, and finally christmas puddings.

As always all help is very much appreciated

Hams, both cooked and raw, smoked and un-smoked, bacon and plenty of cocktail sausages?

Those sound like a good idea Phil. How about some hams to the recipe that Brican has posted?

Hi Robert

Do you mean Cradley Heath in the West Midlands/Black Country? If so, I think that its loss is definitely your gain!!!!

Thanks Wheels, unfortunatly someone already does hams but good idea. Ref cocktail sausages I do make a number of chipolatas from the good old GOS so I suppose it is a similar thing?

Just finished Ludlow food festival and I had some beef burgers from a breed of cattle called Belted Galloway. seriously the best I have tasted. good fat content, very juicy (never press your burger down whilst cooking) and simply the best flavour.

I kid you not there was a guy selling burgers there (3oz) for £5.50 a pop. Outrageous...........hey ho, EH check today so back to scrubbing the floor.

cheers WW

You mention EH there WW, had my visit from them, no need to register as a food business as I only want to supply close friends and family. Start off there and move on. He was great to be honest, thought he was gonna be a pain in the posterior. Although he did feel he needed to drill home the fact that although there was no need to be registered I am still carrying out an activity capable of killing someone if it went really wrong.

If I want to go further then he has offered to come back and work through the processes and procedures needed, HACCP etc.

All in all a very good hour or so, I am free to carry on as I was safe in the knowledge that I have had this discussion and I know where the boundaries are.

I've seen belted Galloway cattle in the fields near my friend in Scotland - if they taste as good as they look then they're very good indeed.

That's great news.

Do you think that's why Lamb tastes so nice, is flavour related to looks??




Can't be, 1 word to disprove that.....Monkfish.
