[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2035920, member: 41816"] My butcher only has them on a Saturday morning for less than an hour - since they walk off the shelves, grabbed by opportunistic scavengers like myself. I would never have known about them if I hadn’t stood in the queue and seen other people buying/asking/ordering. Nor would I have known about the ox cheeks on request, or the frozen gluten free sausages, or the frozen rabbits, or the ‘we get cows delivered Mondays and pigs delivered Tue and Thur, so if you want a particular cut, then ring up and ask the day before the carcasses get delivered, not the day before you want the cut’. They were amused and delighted the time i rang up and asked for cow (bull?) femur marrow bone, and told me they would be butchering Monday, so I could pick up on Tuesday. Two bones => 5 or 6 litres of incredible bone broth, nearly a litre of marrowfat, and some lovely meaty scraps. All for £3. 6 months later, I am still using that heavenly marrow fat for cooking, but will do a repeat when i use it up. To give you an idea of scale: [ATTACH=full]32508[/ATTACH] Known as Postman’s Legs, in my local farm feedstore. (N.B. This is a pic from the internet, to show the size of the uncut bone. The ones my butcher supplied had been sawn into pieces, to make the marrow accessible) [/QUOTE]
