SO! What CONCLUSION did you arrive at?

Moreover, what PRECISELY did you mean by "MENTAL" here?

*thinks: this WHOLE thread has turned a bit mental. Great Friday Forum Fodder! A change from Foie Gras (and treacle);-)*

We have a moderator called "strange"?

...do you mean to say that Sean has returned?

*legs it at speed*

[Otta]

Lounge threads don't tend to get cleaned up, unless there is nasty personal name calling and that type of thing.

This got a bit angry but not personal. And the silence of a particular poster today suggests to me that they're a bit sheepish about causing an unnecessary stir.

I was called MENTAL I'll have you know. Oh yeah.........it was by YOU!

My home - when I'm feeling flush. We also serve steak tartare, pork belly, bacon sarnies, roast chicken, roast lamb, sausages, kidneys, black pudding, lamb shanks, roast beef, almost any kind of steak - as long as it's rare, hams, pate, salamis, boeuf bourgignon, chicken livers, fresh vegetables, good red wine, good white wine, whisky, brandy, gin & rum, strong coffee. Long live carnivores, drinkers and fornicators, enjoy life; say no to pulses and vegetarianism.

[Alan Medic]

Where would YOU be without a PULSE MM?

Do you deliver?

[Otta]

I live meat, but don't do offal. Liver, hearts and kidneys just don't taste good to me, they have a chalky texture I don't like.

I'm a flesh man.

Guess that makes me shallow, I'm all about what's on the outside, and don't really care for what lies beneath.

[Jeremy]

devilled kidneys + poached egg = best breakfast ever

therefore : my breakfast > your breakfast

[Annette Curtain]

And....

Where would I be without that first gamey sh!t on the glorious 12th.

There is literally nothing like it.

I love eating those birds I do.

NETTE:-$

[TillieTrotter]

WOWSA Straferjack, you made me come over all unnecessary then you big brute you!

Now you're talking....grouse, pheasant, quail, patridge, pigeon, venison, rabbit, hare....proper manly food. Bring on autumn.

But then I love offal too....brawn, liver, kidney, hearts, sweetbreads....the whole kit and kaboodle. Fergus Henderson is a god.

Mmmm....I feel a trip to the butchers coming on.

[Thomas Micklewright]

Minor nb. MM, a carnivore only eats meat nothing else.

Even you would find that a struggle.

Good to see you enjoy your fresh veg - where abouts do you buy yours from? I rather like pretty's, they seem to know their stuff.

In fact the next Dvvs talk is on vegetables hope you can make it!

Ps. What is brawn David?

[boosboss]

Fat foul liver - Canabalism in East Dulwich!

[maxxi]

Brawn is a meat/jelly combo acheived by boiling a pig's head - it can be solid enough to slice or loose enough to spread. Hard to find (done well) but Peter Gott (Sillfield Farm, Borough Market) used to do a good one (don't know if he still does) together with a fine spicy haslet (like a pork meatloaf) which is another pork product that's getting harder to find.

[Thomas Micklewright]

boiling a pigs head?

[maxxi]

'sright, also known as head cheese - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_cheese

[RosieH]

Delicious

[katie1997]

Brawn and haslet have been around for years and used to be really inexpensive, as anyone with even a slight knowledge of butchery will tell you. No-one seems to know about cuts or types of meat anymore since the demise of butcher's shops and the rise of supermarkets and plastic packaged flavourless rubbish.

[Frankito]

I remember being served sweetmeats thinking that I always wanted to try it... Truly revolting indeed.. Made me want to be vegetarian until I caughr a sniff of a bacon sarnie and I was back onteack again.
