Don't have much, but we had some Boudin about 1pm just today.

Lamb Belly "Porchetta". We have just the one on our shelves. It's yours, if you're fast enough.

I'm back, but only in spirit. Nice to know I was missed, however. I'll be around here or there, more or later, but all in might do me in. Baby steps.

From the blue waters, to the green of ramps, though the red of finger chiles, we got you though most of the spectrum. Not infrared though, that would be weird.
A salmon cake, made to perfection, showing off its lucious ramps, its hithercometoo red finger chiles, its parsley, lemon, agrumato, salt, and white pepper. Yearn for it, and it can be yours.

Howdy Meatketeers, the main social media goblin is taking a short winter's nap, so we may be a little quieter than usual. Now, go forth and meat!

Third for Small Gods. And, even Flashman is a bit much by today's standards, George Macdonald Frasier's The Pyrates is riotously funny.

I think the question is why does your kid dig those two: wordbuilding? Fantasy elements? Escapism? Satire (Pratchett's legit my favorite satirist since Mark Twain)? If it's the worldbuilding, Dune? If the fantasy bit, maybe The Night Circus? If the satire maybe The Master & Margarita?

Oooooh and that Turkey Molé might be replaced when we have time (not tomorrow- 1/2 pig and fish day), but let us never speak of this again.

Brought home a couple turkey legs last week and cured them. Confitted them Friday. Today, I made turkey cassoulet and turkey rillettes. #DayOffCookin

And it's *insane* to use good knives in a butcher shop. I just like being out of restaurants. Where it's insaner unless you work at, I dunno, n/naka. I just am old, tired, and mad, and like to treat myself.

It has a price. No really. This is my slicer: www.japaneseknifeimports.com/collections/...

I've given up on German knives entirely, save for maybe Messermeister. I love carbon Sabatiers from France. But I am so far over the nerdrizon, it's not even funny. My favorite knives are made with Hitachi white paper 1 or 2. They need sharpening ~ weekly, but I can adjust them, which I love.

My parents were both born mid-war and are very pre-Boomer (so very much so that I suspect my mother of having been in at least two duels), and mom likes a sharp knife, but she did have words for me when the knife I'd sharpened got stuck in the cutting board.

Let's Meat on the Avenue @letsmeatdelray.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Oh, me too! But I also really do think we offer a better price by a smidge. (Unless, of course, you're filling a freezer. Then, Dartagnan's one-shipping-rate-fits-all policy is hard to beat. Tell no one, unless they have a house too small for a chest freezer, then they're stuck with us!)

*Scooby Voice* REAH! REAH! ReeHEEheeheehee!

Let's Meat on the Avenue @letsmeatdelray.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
And I think even with our mark up, we're a shade cheaper than Dartagnan's retail price + their shipping.

Yah. What they've got there are the ribs with the loin still attached, think bone in pork chops , like the piggy equivalent of your standing beef rib roast. I love it but this is way to make it way more expensive! I mean! Great for a holiday!

Let's Meat on the Avenue @letsmeatdelray.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Ah! Look at the rib rack. Sorry. Rib rack is essentially loin on the (rib) bones. I'm so comfortable with the weirdness of the nomenclature of meat, I sometimes forget that it's impenetrable to most normal humanfolk.

What is Porcelet? | D'Artagnan
Milk-fed pigs offer succulent pork. Porcelet is milk-fed pork that is more tender than suckling pig.

We bone-in pork people all know each other. We meet regularly for barbecue.

I really dig a bone in pork loin roast. I'd look at the bone in, skin on Porcelet loin from Dartagnan. I think they still only stock it frozen, but it's absolutely killer and you get crispy skin and very tender but flavorful meat from a milk-fed shoat.

We're going to try again tomorrow, folks. We have said the words, and carved the runes, and offered the proper sacrifices to The Dark Gods of Commercial Refrigeration, and should be up and running by noon, Sun. Say nice things to your Refrigerator Dryads, y'all. They work hard.

We may or may not be open today, Meatketeers. We're experiencing technical difficulties. Watch this space and I'll keep everybody posted if we managed to cobble everything back together.

Nope! I was genuinely traumatized by that movie as a small child. I do not mess with Watership Down. Probably for the same reason, I'll never sell Artax Surprise either.

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

I should explain here that I hate turkeys as a people. They're dicks. I really like to eat turkey. Me. I am the guy.
