Naughty Cal Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Been back to pick up some more pig this evening but also to meet the latest additions to the flock. These piggies are about six weeks old and won't be ready until after Christmas. The ones we met last time are ready to meet the butcher next week so we said goodbye!

Grace and Favour Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 There are a couple of butchers in Leeds Market that normally sell mutton. Makes a great curry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 All meat is murder, as any truly compassionate human being knows. Yes but tasty, yummy murder, maintaining the environment and preserving wildlife habitat, as any truly compassionate omnivorous human being knows. If every compassionate human being in the country turned vegetarian then Britain's countryside would become a sterile, lifeless food factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Cal Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Are these flying pigs? Just asking... Not that I'm aware of. What is the correct word for a flock of pigs? There are a couple of butchers in Leeds Market that normally sell mutton. Makes a great curry! Makes good burgers as well. Got some goat at home to curry in the week.

RLWP Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 What is the correct word for a flock of pigs? Drove , Herd or Litter, or a Farrow of piglets, both those look to big to be called that any more. Most common is herd though. Sheep come in a flock. Sue.

Dyertribe Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Humans are omnivores and need the nutrients acquired from vegetables and meat. Get over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 Hairy Feet Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Mmm Curry goat ,rice and peas (gungo peas bestest) or with hard food, my fave! Edited September 26, 2013 by 8 Hairy Feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Jamaican style, yes? Paradoxically, I heard years ago that what Jamaicans sell as "curry goat" is not goat at all, it's....mutton! No one has mentioned hoggets yet - sheep between 1 and 2 years old, a term used in agriculture but not in shops over here. I remember being in New Zealand and seeing meat in a butcher's; it was labelled "hogget" and U had to ask my host family what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerra Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 ALL kinds of meet? Horse? Rabbit? Pigeon? Squirrel? Hedgehog? Rat? MtB I haven't had chance to try the last 3 but I have had all the first 3 all good. To be honest as far as I can see there are only two diets which are sustainable on a large scale -omnivore and vegan. Vegetarian usually means lacto-vegetarian adding cheese milk etc to the diet. That couldn't be taken up by the majority as it requires the use of omnivores to eat the surplus animals. Take milk for example to give milk the cow requires a calf every year (roughly) she will give milk for a number of years (I once knew of a house cow that was on its 23 calf). so you either raise a number of calves for meat or kill them at day old. Killing them at day old because of vegetarianism would be as far as I am concerned plain wrong. Better a life of a year or so than just a day.

carlt Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 ALL kinds of meet? Horse? Rabbit? Pigeon? Squirrel? Hedgehog? Rat? I have yet to knowingly try Rat (though I have my suspicions about the "meat curry" I ate in Nigeria)or hedgehog but all the others are very palatable and I have several pigeons and rabbits in my freezer, awaiting my attention.

Daiboy Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 ALL kinds of meet? Horse? Rabbit? Pigeon? Squirrel? Hedgehog? Rat? MtB Yup, eaten them all apart from a rat. Including snake, locust and a wild boar (I was in Germany on the NATO ranges at the time though and we shot and eat it whilst under canvas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Cal Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yup, eaten them all apart from a rat. Including snake, locust and a wild boar (I was in Germany on the NATO ranges at the time though and we shot and eat it whilst under canvas) We tried wild boar some time back and really enjoyed it. It was part of an "exotic mixed grill" along with kangaroo and ostrich. Also tried crocodile steaks from the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John V Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 so far I have seen mentions of lamb and mutton but not, as yet, hogget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I would really like to try Hogget. Somebody in the locally produced meat trade (at Hayfield show) told me that New Zealanders don't eat lamb. All their lamb goes abroad, particularly to the UK. New Zealanders eat hogget apparently.
