Battery Poultry

After watching some programmes on TV and now reading all this, I think that we will eat less meat than we already do, and I will be more careful what I do buy.

We have a Bernard Matthews not a 10-minute drive from our house and right after the recent scare, there was an article in the local newspaper saying "no, nothing wrong with our place, bla-bla and so on" but can we believe it?


Perhaps we should give all kinds of meat up for Lent? Would that make the producers treat the animals better, I doubt it.

 

Tis true BM, alot of sausages are made from all the left over **** thats why everyone should pay a bit more for good quality meats and just eat them less often. I am so fortunate to breed my own pigs for showing and eating and have my own hens for eggs and meat. After having home reared i would rather go without rather than eat supermarket meat of any kind!!!

 

Hi Blondie, do you have a sausage making device. I would love one of these ! Just imagine all the wonderful flavours you could cram into your own sausages, with top quality pork of your own nuturing. Sounds wonderful I must confess I love tesco finest pork and apple and chilli and licolnshire etc. lovely sausages and 90%+ pork.

 

Sure do Banana Man(cool name by the way !!!)I make all kinds of sausages too and love to try different ingredients as dont waste a bit of my delicious piggywigs!! The chiriozo turned out exceptionaly well this year as too did the pork and pickle sausages . I also use the pigs natural casings so it gives a big juicy sausage which ya canny beat! :eek: :eek: :D

 

BM Try this link. Sausagemaking.org It might help you in searching for what you need :D :D

 

Mouth-watering

We have a really good free-range butchers in the village. I thought it might be fun to get a little mincer and squeezer sausage maker. Not quite the same as having your own pick of ingredients. I have a wonderful picture painted in my head of your sausages, I can almost smell them too. You should have a website and sell them as speciality sausages. You could even do a 'banana sausage' :D

 

Thanks KF I will have a look now


Edited to say ...I have had a look, and that's exactly what I looked for before but never found anything that snazzy. Wow, I think I might have to sell the car to buy what I want :eek:

Maybe I can have the small �£495 stuffer for christmas Thanks KF :D

Your welcome BM.I cannot remember where I found it from but stuck it in my favourites.I new I would have a use for it someday :D

 

I shall have to have a look myself when I get more time inbetween talking about chickens and cats :D :D

 

So what type of pigs do you have? Sounds like you are seriously into it if you are breeding them.
Also what type of chickens do you have?

 

Banana sausages,hmmmmm not sure about that one but will make one in your honour and let you know what it tastes like but not getting my hopes up!! I keep Berkshires and love them to bits and only eat the ones not suitable for breeding. Can email you pics if your interested as havent worked out how to post them on here yet(I am a blondie!!!) and i keep Marans and Welsummer crosses who give me lovely dark eggs.
