any ideas out there?
boy i had the liver last night with chips onions and gravy it was lush!
rest of family not so keen on trying any of the bits and bobs.
im going to give it all a go!!
i think it showing the pig some respect as an animal who provides good tasty meat.
also if someone was going to kill and eat me i would want them to try all of me and leave nothing
to waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll remember that Langdon, as I cook the fava beans and open a bottle of Chianti

[langdon]

lol how is it over there in the most beautifull part of the world?
shame we couldnt sit down to a nice pint of guinness!
maybe some day!
we have a 5 berth static caravan that we are renting out during the summer if you are interested?
if you type in the lynams caravan on face book you will find out all the details there.
have a look anyway and let me know your thoughts as this is our first season and we have had only one family
and two freinds stay.
all the best pal.

Sorry langdon, I'm a TOFF! (Too Old For Facebook), wish you well with the venture.
Not a Guinness man myself, like my beer as I like my bacon. Local and natural.

That said, if ever I'm over I'll buy you a pint of whatever you fancy.

Hope you don't get gout from the liver!

[langdon]

never mind if im ever over your way some time i will
come looking for you!

[banbh]

Be sure and do that.

Have a go at makingh some Faggots Langdon, i did from mine last time. use the heart, some liver & some smoked bacon scraps from the butcher, they are well tasty!!

[Olly398]

My favourites are:
Brawn - use the whole head and brains
Braised cheeks
devilled kidneys - pigs might be a bit strong for this though, and need a long braising

HFW has a good recipe for liver pate.  And it freezes.  Think it would go down well in a ploughmans with cider. 

[langdon]

i like the cider bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hilarysmum]

Me too.  Although cider is available here its not the same as a half of strongbow in a pub with a cheddar ploughmans.

Make a casserole of the heart and cook it long and slow with cider and a few apples.

 :pig:how about trying a haslet

[Padge]

do you have a good recipe for a haslet? I've often fancied making it but never found a recipe

[Hilarysmum]

HASLET serves 6

Ingredients:

250 g stale white bread
Milk or water for soaking
1 k lean pork
1 medium onion -- peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon fresh chopped sage
Salt and black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 190 c or Mark 5
Soak the bread in sufficient milk or water to cover and, when soft, squeeze out the excess moisture.
Mince together the pork, onion, sage and seasoning.
Add to soaked bread and mix well.
(Optional can put through the mincer again at this stage for a finer texture)
Lightly grease a 2 to 3 lb loaf tin.
Place mixture into the tin and press down firmly and evenly.

Bake for 1 1/4 to 2 hours, covering the top with kitchen foil if it browns too quickly.
Allow to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out and allow to cool completely.
Serve cold, sliced, with salad and boiled potatoes.
