Is your toddler a zombie?

In DH's MCHN book from the 70's there is brains in there. And other weird things like orange juice concentrate... what the?

I used to be fed brains, as well as liver and other things like that. *GAG* The thought of it now...ick!! No offence meant to those that enjoy it, and I have no idea why eating a steak is more enticing than eating a kidney, I mean it's all from the same animal right? Just my head telling me it's not nice!

When DS1 was a baby..only 8yrs ago, I made up a brains recipe from Robin Barkers Toddler Meals, he loved them! I asked the butcher for them, and he immeadiatley said are they for your baby

I also have him kidneys or was it liver? It was again a Robin Barker recipe made with apples this time. I still have the book.
I don't personally like brains, probably would eat them if I wasn't aware. Masterchef had them a couple of times the series just gone.
My Sister and Mother love crumbed brains.
My Dad's favourite was lambs fry for breakfast and he loved devilled kidneys!

I like lamb's fry. I haven't had it for ages. Probably because I buy my meat these days instead of slaughtering it. I wonder how my neigbours here in the suburbs would cope if we did a bit of back-yard butchery? Not well probably. Someone called the police when my friend's Dad decided to DIY slaughter in the BBQ belt.
Funny how people are, meat is ok as long as it is in a nice package and you don't have to get too close to its origins...

I love sweet breads.

DP was just looking up brawn recipes the other night! When we do our first kill, we want to use as much as we can. Don't think we'll be using bovine brains...we'll wait till we've got the sheep and pigs on site

Are you going to be tanning your hides?

Rouge, do you have a butcher that sells sweetbread? Dad is convinced they keep them for themselves because they're so hard to find.

I couldn't eat it knowing what it is but if it was cleverly disguised

Just out of curiosity ... what do they taste like??

Nae x

ETA - Mayaness, if you keep a couple of lamb hides You can come around here and I can ask MIL to show you how to salt them and break them (not something I want to do again my god thats HARRRRRD work) .... I can also find out a place where SIL sent a cow hide if you like .. believe me anything larger that an yearling you WON'T want to do yourself unless your a saddist

We loved sweetbreads growing up, mum has not managed to buy any for years, no one seems to sell them.

I would like to secure the hides of our kills. Nae - yes please! Not sure when we'll do the sheep - we'll do it as soon, I hope. I'd love to spread a couple of steer hides on the floor of the shed and, ultimately, the strawbale house
