Carnivore Corner

Evening fellow carnivores. Animal August going well so far. Appetite seems to be resetting and far easier to discern real hunger without all the triggers. 0.7kg down and enjoying some great food. Tonight was a ribeye in a steakhouse run by an ex-colleague and her partner. Delicious.

Looks good and well done on the losses.. I'm thankfully back below 200 pounds this morning...
Just had sweetbreads, liver and bacon. First time I've cooked sweetbreads.. kind of ok although not sure I'd rush back..

That’s good news. Never had sweetbreads and haven’t been able to develop a taste for liver. Need to work on that.

I have eaten them years ago in the UK, ithey were mported from NZ they used to come in 1 lb containers where I worked. I was never fussed on them, similar texture to brains if I remember rightly.

Make sure you cook your liver, there are all sorts of parasite nasties in the raw stuff, have a look at liver flukes on Google for one of them.
 
No chance of me eating raw meat of any description:)
I am the same, I have seen to many things in my time in the meat industry that you would not want to eat.

I will have eat raw fish done in vinagar like rollmops etc.

The spine was for the stock.
Spatchcock now definitely the best way to cook them.
 
Which FB group ? I hadn't seen that one..

but metal spoon on non stick!!!! nooooooo

Metal utensils are fine on hard anodised cookware. I'd not use a knife, but a spoon, as she was doing would be highly unlikely to do any harm. That said, it wasn't clear if it was non-stick or hard anodised.

Still not something I'd do .. silicon cookware all round..
 
Tried some of these tonight in a taste test against local butcher sirloin

https://warrendale-wagyu.co.uk/product/exclusive-offer-wagyu-sirloin-x-10/

They were cut a bit thin for my tastes but cooked up very well and were extremely tender with a buttery steaky flavour.

Not cheap although at just under £36 a kilo compare well to most supermarket steaks (the one from the local butcher was £19 per kilo so a lot cheaper).

Next time I'd go for a chunk of sirloin and cut my own thicker steaks but for a treat (its our 11th wedding anniversary) they were well worth it.

Hey, congrats on the anniversary!
 
Those prices are just staggering ..... and just today the greens are now insisting on an Australian meat tax.

A voice and a vote completely disproportionate to their worth.
