"what do you put in your dry cure mix fishfish?" heres a link to my curing recipies: http://jacksshed.myfreeforum.org/about19.html or i will gladly supply the rub ready made,pm me if yer intrested. as for smoker all i use is a 50 gallon oildrum with oak chips in the bottom,inderneath i use a calorgas stove to heat the chips and make them smoke,the bacon is just suspended from a broom handle sat across the top,cover the top of the drum with a board or a hessian sack.

if you go to sainsburys in the week take a look at the bacon isle,everything from basics at 99p a pound to dutchy originals dry cure bacon at over £18.00 per Lb!!!!!!!!!!! most bacon these days isnt realy bacon as we think of it,pork is injected with brine and left for 24 hours then sliced and packed,thats what the white scum is when you cook it! also the brine adds weight!so you are paying for water!!!! :banghead: also mixed into the brine are artificial preservatives,the product needs this as isnt realy cured and there fore will go off when not in a vac pack! even dry cures contain preserva

four and twenty black birds......................
fishfish replied to fishfish's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
yes adults but the cooking methods employed made the bes of them,they were cirtainly no tougher than shin beef! i must admit branchers are by far the best meat though! -
anyone still eat them? its a semi regular here,good firm dark meat,it used to be traditional to have a rook shoot second saturday in february,we used to feast like kings in our house! mum used to make rook and ox kidney pie with light pastry...yummmmm! some she larded and kept it for weeks,some breasts were salted and smoked then threaded on string and hung in the pantry,it kept well and a handfull of them added to rabbit stews. nan made rook and belly pork sausages too! god they were the biz! i made some last spring i wish i had frozen a load!

just above the city near yer uncles old beat! ime not sure how long they hang around for,its the first time ive caught them in that river.

there must be hundreds of folk on here who need pet isurance,wether for dogs birds or ferrets. surely if we got our heads together we could cut a major deal with a company? apply for one policy and you pay the going rate,approach the same company with a couple hundred names itd be nearly free! having seen the distress caused to gunner1966 coz he had no insurance and the vet taking the piss i recon we should do this. maybe admin could back this idea?
-
i feel for you gunner! i had to shoot my best hob ferret last year coz i couldnt afford the vet and no one seems to offer insurance for them!
-
why ? its a tricky opperation by all acount,better off getting a hob neutered and he will service her to stop her poisoning herself with eastrogen.if you dont want a hob ask the vet who has a neutered/vacectomised hob.

should you ever be in the new forest,just a couple of miles from the end of the M27 is a small insignificant monument in the forest,its called 'the Rufus stone' was erected to mark the spot where King William Rufus was shot. The inscription reads: "Here stood the Oak Tree, on which an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrell at a stag, glanced and struck King William the second, surnamed Rufus, on the breast, of which he instantly died, on the second day of August anno 1100." all over the south of england are places named after old tyrell,he was hunted by the kings men and fled to france. So when your

i was talking to a couple of keepers at market,they said theres been a new wave of crime hitting the local shoots,poachers arent intrested in the birds as theyre worthless but the grain in the feed stations in the woods are being emptied presumably by small holders or chicken keepers not able/willing to pay the prices that have doubled in recent months. anyone else noticed this in other areas? or did you think the pheasants were just hungryer?
