Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[craftyhunnypie]

Last night I went to my local butchers for a meat / butchery course. To watch and learn what all the different cuts of meat are & how & where from they are cut. From carcass to table.

Last night was lamb, quite a large sized lamb. The butcher cut the breast, the fillet (very small thing), the shoulder, chump steaks, lamb chops. He boned & rolled a leg of lamb, showed us how to tye the knots & also made a guard of honour (2 racks of lamb together).

At the end we had tasters. Yummy.

Next week is pork & poultry (full pig & a chicken / turkey)

Following week is Beef (quarter cow).

 

Nearer to Christmas they are doing one on Game.

 

It was really good.

What a great idea! Not only is it a good way of learning how to use most of an animal it could save you some money too.

That sounds like a great course.

 

I will have to look out for something like that near us.

That's a fantastic evening to attend, I wish we had something similar here in Canterbury. I did look tentitively about doing a fish course at Bilingsgate as it is beside Canary Wharf, but the price was horrendous for one day - the poor fish I fillet will have to take their chances

What a great idea!

I wish our local butchers would do something similar.

The course is only £10!

Why not suggest it to your local butchers?

That sounds really interesting. I might suggest it to our butcher.

I'd love to go on a course!

 

We never visit a butchers now but I might go back to the one we used to use and suggest it.......

[Krysia]

Sounds great 'i would love to do one.

 

Where abouts in cheshire is your butcher?

[craftyhunnypie]

Hiya - It's in the main street of Sandbach (Steve Brookes).

Fabulous meat, friendly banter & lots of jokes when you go in!

sounds good from a meat eaters point of view ! (im a veggie)

 

married to an ex butcher too!

 

I agree though, if more butchers shops offered this sort of thing I think it would be successful.

Wow, I would love to do a course like that. We buy 1/2 a lamb every few months and it takes me ages to label and work out what is what I would love to learn and understand the cuts better. Would also be really good to know how to bone a chicken or joint it, I have tried doing this from books in the past and have failed badly . Sounds great lucky you.
