I went on a similar course last autumn in Borough Market called Farmer Sharp’s Mastering Meat Class, or something, and it was very poor value.

Not unenjoyable, just nowhere near as good as this. We didn’t really learn much and just reading a few chapters of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Meat book was much better.

Niamh – Yeah it would have been great to get in there and actually have a go but I guess it just isn’t possible. Shame really. I may have to buy half a pig!

Margaret – Yeah Perry is so delish. I should also be drinking more of it considering the attention I lavish upon cider.

Douglas – Yep, trotters have been eaten and the jar now has something else in it. Fast worker, me.

Jenn – Never!

Foodycat – Well, exactly. It was a fabulous experience, I recommend trying it out.

Jeanne – And you’ve still got them?! Blimey woman, that’s willpower.

OMG, looks wonderful! I agree with you on the Gewurz/Rieslings – they are just divine. I bought some Trimbach Rieslings when I visited Alsace a couple of years ago – must dig them out methinks!

I’ve never been to Clapham, but I would for the sake of a masterclass like that!

Wow, sounds like a great night Helen! I agree, it is hard to pass up anything to do with a pig! LOL!

Oh, the pig masterclass was great, although I would love to have been hands on. Those sausages were just wonderful.

Neil – I would really like to have a go myself actually. I am lucky in that I’ve got a freezer with a few drawers so I reckon once it’s portioned up I could get it all in there if I throw everything else away! There’s only lime leaves, curry leaves and stock in there at the moment to be honest.

Lizzie – I wasn’t content with just my own piece! I agree, I like my oysters raw. Just personal preference I guess.

Dan – It was! I have to say it was brilliant.

Denise – If it’s not all gone in five seconds then that’s neglected in my book

Seeing as I was your neighbour, I have to say, I was just saving the crackling for last! I think they should have served those crackling sticks instead of bread, can you imagine a cup full of ‘em instead of breadsticks…..mmmmmmmm
