Is your toddler a zombie?

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'm just gonna keep sitting here eating my Strawberry n Cream lollies ...

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

[Phteven]

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.

Maggie Beer loves sweetbreads too. She cooked them up on her show a little while ago.

I wish I liked eating all that stuff, but I don’t. I think if an animal is killed for us to consume we should us all of it, so that none is wasted.

My local butcher sells crocodile meat. True!

[NaeNae]

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

[Phteven]

kind of soft yet firm (almost like tofu texture) and um...... brainy

They don't taste like chicken.

I love sweet breads.

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

[Smoke Jaguar]

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

My grandmother used to make brawn with a pigs head, boil it down and do it that way. I LOVED it as a kid.

Never seen sweatbreads at a butcher. Only at fancy pants restaurants.

[Miss.B]

I was fed chicken feet, chicken heads, chicken livers & stomachs, wait for it.....tripe which is the intestines of cow i think.....but I grew up on this as my grandma had a farm in Poland and people just ate those kind of things, so when mum then cooked the tripe and fried livers for me and my brother even up until a few years ago it was something I was used to. But brains, I just don't think I could eat. And I wouldn't eat Skippy or crocodile meat

Astrid should know how to cure a hide

I love sweet breads.

I love raisin toast. Does that count?

[Phteven]

Raisin toast is but raisin' hell is unacceptable.

I could eat Skippy because it has fur but I wouldn't eat anything with scales *shudders*.

[Rouge]

Hmmm... nope.

But I'll tell you something I hate... black pudding. No. Freakin. Way.
