Many years ago (in the 1970's), I qualified as a meat inspector in Sheffield as part of being an Environmental Health Officer and I can tell you that watching your expertise with the knife is an absolute delight! Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland
I've been watching your channel forever now and am glad it's still going strong. I feel like proper butcher shops are dying out thanks to the anti competitive practices of supermarkets but at least the techniques live on here.
I agree. I think part of the problem is also that people are loosing the cooking skills and knowledge of how to prepare different cuts outside of the supermarket offerings.
so many butchers just seem to have meat come in vac packed and just put it in the display cabinet. I used to see lots of shops where whole sides of meat were being carried in . Not now.
SOOO hoping that the US passes the prime act. We need to have butchery back in local communities and NOT in restricted/mass production facilities. You are an artist sir!! I still go back to you original pig butchery vids for a refresher before hunting season!! haha. Love the channel!
What a master class 👍 I thought you were going to pop a fried egg on the plate at the end! It would be great if you could show us how you grind your knifes and get them up to spec Scott!👍
Give Mr. Rea a sub and go back in time, he did a great knife video a few years ago. Top five of guys I’d love to bend an elbow with, love this channel!!
Good luck with the detached retina. I had one in my right eye about 10 years ago and another in my left eye about 4 years ago. Eyesight is as good now as it's ever been. Really enjoy your channel
Super video Scott! Thank you for that.. it’s definitely easier than I thought it would be so I’m going to have to give it a go! I’m definitely a ham freak lol. It’s expensive here in the states, so to make it would be a dream! LOL
Memories of being a bit bigger than a toddler but not much, Going to stay at my Nans for the weekend. Saturday morning going to the corner shop with Her for two gammon steaks and a pound of bacon. The Big red Berkel would whizz around always fascinating me. She would cut the rind just like You did, that was my best bit, that was Saturday tea and the bacon for breakfast on Sunday. You are the Meat Maestro Scotty Thank God we’ve got You to learn from. My first bacon went into the pan this morning. Very nervous curing it, drying for the Pellicle then smoking and resting…..But oh my goodness I’m well chuffed, Best bacon I can remember having ( except from that old red Berkel ). Thanks for all Your help kid. My hero.
Absolutely beautiful, couple of duck eggs would have went down well with the Gammon and chips. I’ve just cured some collar bacon with maple syrup, came out really nice.
Suburban girl here - it hurts when you show us the beasts, they are so beautiful. I am glad that you do though, we should be reminded, whether we want to be or not, that these creatures had a place and purpose beyond just what they taste like. We all must kill to live. Nature is pitiless.
Magnificent video Scott. Fantastic! I’d love it if you could do a proper, old fashioned boiling bacon with loads of fat. My dad was head of meat at a Sainsbury’s for years and would always bring one back for Christmas tea. Perfect with pickled walnuts, red cabbage, onions, piccalilli etc.
Great content as usual; can you please share what breed of pigs and rough slaughter age that provides this result? I would love to try my hand at these British cuts here in US. Thanks for your expertise! Cheers!
I assume I could smoke this and turn it into american/australian style cooked bacon, then slice thinly and fry? we are having a lot of trouble getting good meaty loins/belly in australia at the moment, so I might have a go at horseshoe bacon.
Google 'Supacure' It's a German co that produces it. HP sauce is widely available, if you're not in the UK, Amazon will likely ship it to you, Personally, I prefer Stokes' but each to their own. I've not linked that as youtube tends to delete posts with external links.
Hope your able to put money away for your eye! Plans on surgery I'm sure? And great video🥃best of luck on your eye situation! Don't wait if possible. Makes it worse.
