Is your toddler a zombie?

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.

[Epacris]

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.

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

[Sopdet]

My mum & my two dads loved brains, tripe and the like, my 2nd mum wasn't too fussed on that but made a to-die-for steak & kidney pie (which I now have modified into a steak pie)

Astrid should know how to cure a hide

[peanutter]

I've eaten chickens feet, but not the rest of that stuff (at least not knowingly...)

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

Omm nom nom ... kangaroo ... camel ... delicious!

I didn't like crocodile or emu or eel, but generally like other things with feathers or scales!

Hmmm... nope.

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

I like Christmas pudding, though

I can cure a hide. Eliptical cross trainer, 45 minutes daily.

oh, wait ...

[Phteven]

fish have scales!
Let me amend that to land dwelling animals with scales or maybe just reptiles *ugh*

I love raisin toast. Does that count?

[Phteven]

Raisin toast is but raisin' hell is unacceptable.
