I like the vodka, a bit to much ha, I like a bottle of budwieser if I'm having a beer at home, I'd probably go the pub once or twice a year and after a couple of pints I'd hit the vodka

Homo !........me and the wee man love liver !

Hearts, kidneys, Tongue.......proper grub !

My mum used to eat it raw with a bottle of Guinness!.....that’s totally true !

A mate had a farm next to her dad's farm, think rustic butch farmers daughter. She actually used to come digging with aswell and was handy with the pickaxe. Anyway.. if ever I called in around the lunch or dinner time, or gave her a hand, id be offered a place at the table, she raised limousin beef and always had a few veal calves on the go, for which she would always have orders for the meat, & I would guess not a bit else was wasted, ive tried all sorts at her table, must say veal heart was very surprisingly nice.

I asked my son what his favourite school dinner is, (french primary school) & beef tongue was his reply.

Anyone ever eaten tripe? had it a few times, the first time it was handsome, nice tomatoey saucy tripe stew, with french bread rubbed with raw garlic. Had it since a few times and it werent a patch on the 1st lot. They also do this tripe sausage, think its called andoulette or something similar - rank, stinks the house out when your cooking it.

An expat butcher I know asked me to get him a coypu, them big fcuk off rat things as a friend of his reminisced about when times were hard theyd make pate from them (like eating hedgehogs I guess). So about a fortnight ago I see him in the cafe and said id something for him, he wanted it fresh, so I put the cagetrap with this firey rat going dinlo into the back of his little car, 'well you wanted it fresh!' I told him. Anyway, he done 5 kilos of this pate mixed with pork and gave the half to his mate who was over the moon and told him it was excellent. He then went down to a few of his local bars/cafes at the weekend getting everyone to try it, I tell you something loads of folk have come up to me in the last week asking me to supply him with more! Went down a treat!

I think modern times we are all spoiled, everyone wants fillet steak or the latest trending meat, tomahawk steaks etc etc. Its all a bit emperors new clothes for me.

They have a version of that tomatoe tripe stew here. Bloody lovely when you've had a couple.

Crocodile in a garlic white wine sauce is crazy good. Tried loads of different bush meats but I'm guessing they were farm raised. Had that south African biltongue off a mate once, not sure what meat it was but it was home made with a spicy rub, not shop bought.

Me and my mate made our own biltong a few times using a plastic box and a heater . 

Was delicous and we made a lot for ourselves more than the shop bought bags give

I try to do some every summer. Well, jerky. Got this cold smoker and then I finish drying on a netted wrack in the sun/fresh air. I tend to use a sauce based marinade rather than salt as well.

 

[Arry 18,590]

Done Jerky in a dehydrator. Used Beef marinated skirt with loads of black pepper. Came out pretty much the same as the stuff you can buy. I tried Venison it was okay but a lot tougher think I need a better cut of meat to try that again.

Cheers Arry

That looks like a handy smoker B.H.

If any body is interested this is the recipe I use. I do tweak it a little, one thing I add is Dark Maple Syrup to the marinate.
