…and bought this!
We’ve got some braising steak in the foreground along with some rather chubby chorizo sausages. In centre is some proper smoked streaky bacon (with rind – that’s a rarity these days). At back some oxtail and to the right two big fillet steaks.
A random selection but I had been standing in the shop for so long trying to decide what to buy that I got panicked in case they thought I was being weird so just started ordering things. Should keep me busy for a while…

I don’t think you bought enough . . . 🙂
Just finished using it up!
WHOA !!!!
Meat-a-palooza !!!!!
I suppose the best part of having a wife that is a vegetarian, is that there is more meat for you.
Yes but I have to keep the kids away from the those fillet steaks – those little angels have expensive tastes

Wow. That’s some shopping trip. I can’t wait to see what you do with all of it.
Thanks – I’ve put some in the freezer – dont want to overdo it!
They must love you now at that butcher’s shop! Think of it, you went from the weird guy not buying anything to that guy who got the hungry’s and made their sales numbers for the day.
We don’t see things like oxtail over here unless it’s maybe in some specialty markets. I’m guessing it’s used for stews or soups?
Nothing like scoring some really good bacon though – that alone must have made the trip a success.
Exactly the bacon was worth it alone – it had rind and thats not fashionable anymore – let alone bacon fat – which is the best bit
Oxtail is not panic, that’s sheer inspiration. Do I sense an oxtail ragù in the works?
You could be right but I do want a big bone in the middle of the plate….
Well, aren’t you wild and crazy! I’m fascinated by the thought this might all be for a single meal …
No that particular idea hadn’t crossed my mind, but its intriguing!
Oh my!! Looking forward to some good cooking!!! I love the look of everything; especially the bacon!!!!
Yes the bacon is far better than anything I can get in a supermarket – no added water!
Haha.. my son wouldn’t panic, but he’d come home with all of this if he could! This will be a few wonderful feasts for you, and us when we see what you do with each piece!
Thanks yes I’m working on (through) it
I can’t wait to see what you make with all these goodies!
Two down, three to go!
Post over the ox-tails. I need them to do something stewey.
I could but all the gooey gravy would ooze out of the envelope
you know what they say… “REAL MEN DON’T EAT QUICHE” 😉
Too right. All the cheese and pastry would go straight to my muffin top
You sir are a legend. I bow to you 😃
Aw thats too kind – still havent cooked the goods yet so the jury’s out i think
You are the King of Meat. Charles and William should step aside for you.
Bring em on!
make me a knight and I’ll serve you whatever meat you want cooked 🙂
