Sussex Pork Chops

 

Hat tip and kudos to the good people of Clark's Meat and Poultry for delivering to me some splendid Sussex pork chops.

They were thick cat, as requested, and had an excellent layer of fat, because as we all know fat means flavour! 

I roasted them on top of my homemade herb and onion stuffing.

They were exceptionally tender and flavoursome, and the stuffing superb (even if I say so myself)!

I forgot to take the photo at the beginning, so two had already been scoffed (along with a generous portion of stuffing) when I finally got round to it.

Talking to people in the hospitality business is the correct thing to do.

However, limiting your discussions to celebrities with brands worth hundreds of millions isn't!

Rather than expose yourselves to the risk of COVID19 in an overcrowded supermarket, buy produce from your local shops which are plentifully stocked and are not crowded with people standing cheek by jowl.

Garlic Stuffed Roast Chicken

My thanks to the good people of Clark's Meat and Poultry for delivering to me a decent sized free range chicken, which I stuffed with a couple of fistfuls of garlic and roasted.

I used the giblets to make a stock for the gravy, and gave the cooked giblets to Rosie (who says thank you).

The chicken was excellent.

Wild Boar Sausages - Stab One Tonight!

My thanks to the good people of Clark's Meat and Poultry for delivering to me a batch of their splendid wild boar sausages, which they make on their premises (in natural casings)

They were bloody marvellous, exceptionally flavoursome.

Stab one tonight!

Rolled Loin of Sussex Pork

 

My good friend Derek Stott, who is an experienced butcher, has joined forces with Paul Clark of Clark's Meat and Poultry.

As I have said before, rather than expose yourselves to the risk of COVID19 in an overcrowded supermarket, buy produce from your local shops which are plentifully stocked and are not crowded with people standing cheek by jowl.

 

As such, I was delighted with this magnificent rolled loin of Sussex pork that Paul delivered to me on Saturday. I roasted it with stuffing and prunes.

 

It was first class, very tender and flavoursome!
