katie1997 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Haha yep it was bacon sandwiches that made my younger brother fall off the veggie wagon (after being brainwashed by me when I used to be veggie. He had also agreed to save all his pocket money to contribute towards a horse that I wanted.) Those were the days.

maxxi Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Do you mean sweetbreads? (thymus or pancreas usually veal or lamb) If they're not soaked for long enough and blanched properly the flavour will suffer. I like my offal mixed like in a haggis or in faggots which I ate a lot growing up in the Midlands. Faggots, gravy and mushy peas in a batch with pepper and vinegar! slurrrp.

Frankito Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Iprefer to however I don't always have time/ energy to queue outside Master Rose's place for my meat fix. I do have a butcher in The City who I use but only for special occasions as he's bloody expensive (but always worth it)...

Thomas Micklewright Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Good for you strafer.I dont currently have the money at the moment to always buy from pretty's or smbs, although wa sin there today and their tomatoes are super, great taste!i recently read a book 'we want real food' which really spurred me on to buy organic and local. Hopefully ill have the money soon and then yes you'll see me at the grocers all the time!although a vegan who is against all animal products, I am please in dulwich we have good butchers / moxons for fish, so i would encourage people who do it meat to source it from there.thomas Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18512-your-views-on-foie-gras/page/12/#findComment-457313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Mac Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 TomI thought the thread was about fois gras. If you want to talk about sources of meat and your recommendations, you may want to start a new thread.

Thomas Micklewright Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Mick mac - I think this thread can survive another diversion - weve had ponces, glacier cherries, picture of mohitoes, the game shooting season, rearing pork pies and boiling pigs heads!i tried the dulwich farmers market today - super!

katie1997 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thomas - don't forget potential tomato theft :) (btw, can you not grow some in pots or a window box or share an allotment or something?) Some supermarkets do sell good British (from East Anglia) tomatoes at a fairly reasonable price. Just don't put them anywhere near the fridge when you get home. I think its Morrisons that do these so you don't have to splash out at some of the pricier delis.

Thomas Micklewright Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Ha I can hereby clarify I am not a tomato thief and I have never (and never will) use forced rhubard.Yes I should be growing some tomatoes just haven't had the time - something for the future!Toms from the market were actually cheaper than local tescos.Tom Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18512-your-views-on-foie-gras/page/12/#findComment-457555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStreets Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm more of a foodie than an animal rights activist, but in this case I support Tom's campaign and was one of the people who asked Beauberry House to take foie gras off the menu. It is good to see that local restaurants take customer feedback seriously - everyone should have the right (and initiative!) to speak up for what they want & do not want to see on local menus.There are plenty of food choices - veggie & meat alike - without having to resort to force-feeding animals to make a "luxury" item.

Horsebox Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So what about all the people that do wish to eat Foie Gras at Beauberry House? Presumably we'll have to petition them to bring it back?And then you'll do the opposite and repeat ad nauseam.If you don't like foie grad then don't bloody eat it but don't prevent others from having the choice to order if they so wish.Irritating vegan campaigners, I care less know for your meddling politics than I ever did before.
