Me (yelling up the stairs to be heard over Boardwalk empire): Husband, do you want some bacon for breakfast?
Him: What?
Me (louder) Do you want some bacon for breakfast?
Him: Have we got any?
Me: No, that's why I'm offering it.
:roll: Of course we have bacon - and what bacon it is. Thick rashers of dry-cured neck, from a proper butchers and the pig that donated it was rare-breed from a proper farm that does all the rearing and slaughtering. And no water bubbling out whatsoever. The butcher's display cases bear no resemblance to the pink-lit supermarket shelves of plastic-wrapped joints, cuts, chunks and mince, his offerings are all strange colours thanks to factors such as the curing methods, the time of length joints have been hung and other stuff. He has run butchery courses at Jimmy's Farm, makes all his own bangers fresh each morning (and again, what bangers, full of flavour and meat) and the pork chops we had earlier this week were at least 1 1/2 inches thick. It's a carnivore's heaven. I'm going back next week for lamb's liver - and more bacon. DD

And Tripe ?0

Mmmmm, nothing like proper bacon and a nice fresh egg, fried, and fried bread. To this hubby would add proper sausages and black pudding - God bless the full English!
Only to be eaten on high days and holidays, of course, being mindful of weight/cholesterol etc.0 -

To which the only reply is "I'm just going to find a pig."

Mig, Mig, Mig, the tripe is for poorly people and not to be wasted on the likes of 'im indoors. End of. 8)
theresak? I can't be doing with (or be doing with cooking) a full-English but parts of it are lovely. The whole thing is surely best kept for a special celebration but I do have a lovely black pudding supper recipe (including eggs) courtesy of Nigel Slater - PM me for the details if required.
Sticky? We once had a pig, A Gloucester Old Spot named (very imaginatively by me) Spot, who was kept and organically reared at our friends' house. His chops and joints were wonderful. To this day I would love to have another pig (they are delightful creatures) but Mr DD is rather fond of our lawn.
Barbara? I will remember that reply, I like it! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Oh go on, I 've got to ask, why wait till next week?0

In exchange for a bacon sarnie I'll wash up for you if you think that's a fair swap?
GraceBTurn a negative into a positive!0 -
This morning I finished off the bacon. :oops: Four rashers of sheer heaven. Sigh.
I'll dig out the black pudding recipe and post it on here later. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Please do, I love black pudding, Mr LV was a bit at the thought of it when he arrived on these shores but is now a big fan too so it's always popular here. My butcher does treacle smoked bacon. It's beyond divine and dangerously good so you have to eat it all very quicklyHey little fighter, things will get brighter0
