before you freeze (first time) cut into suitable portions, pop in to freezer bags & label.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostSeems to me like asking to end up eating way too much meat to be healthy.
Sort of like my occasional stunt of buying a huge beef joint in a supermarket, as it is marked half price and thus irresistable, but then having to wolf a huge portion of it despite the packet saying "serves 6 to 8"
(although one can wrap what little is left in silver foil and freeze it to make a beef curry next weekend)
We love reduced bought a 33p leg of lamb last night - yummy!

I had one last year. Got it from a friend whose family keep them so got to see the piglets first too (there was a webcam at one point but I think mummy pig took exception to it).Originally posted by Ruprect View PostI just got this for my birthday

Can't wait
Come to think of it, there's a pack of fat lurking in the freezer ready to be made into scratchings. I used the hairy bar snacks recipe before - highly recommended nom nom nom
