Oh and what's the deal with lamb being impossible to get hold of?????

My butcher has it rarely and it costs a small fortune, if you go to the Turkse slagerij, you get halal of dubious origin, which tastes cack.

Dutch people don't tend to like lamb because it has a taste, but occasionally it's for sale in AH, sometimes in butchers too, but the stuff in the Halal butchers is generally very freshly killed so hasn't had enough time to drain out the blood; it's generally OK for stewing I find.

Norrahe and Mich,

Surely there must be enough like-minded people (possibly ex-pats) in the Netherlands to make a plan B supplying decent meat or ingredients viable? They can't all have no tastebuds shirley?

Well there are suppliers of absolute top quality meat but they only really supply to high end chefs who know what they're looking for; what's really needed here is some serious edjumakayshun about food to try and make consumers understand that they can eat good food for not much money if only they take the trouble to find out about it, and then there's a chance of a few of them buying it; trouble is, most Dutch consumers have always been as stingy as Scotsmanto the power of Yorkshireman squared, and now they're even worse due to this recessionny thingummy and a government that keeps threatening to raise taxes instead of getting their ******* spending under control.

The only shame is these guys don't age their meat and my Dutch isn't advanced enough to ask them about it.

Shouldn't it be hung for 14 days or so?

30 mins to go. Still no voluntary euthanasia interview. Don't think they love me any more.

Agent confirmed a 10am start on Monday - at 3pm this pm

Worked in Belgium for around 2 years a while back. I used to return to UK every other w/e in the Jag and bring back 5lb of bacon and 5ld of decent cheese for distribution as these were all but impossible to get.
Used to knock up a Cauliflower cheese with Bacon for my co-conspirators every now and again.

Frankfurt was worse.

Does he eat people too?

Quite possibly.

Gives all the right signs, like.

I'm currently wondering what liver of Human Remains Director might taste like.

I think it would probly be bitter & nasty though.

You could go for the Brains - should be young and tender having not been used much?
