It is a bit more expensive than most are used to paying, but I haven't found it prohibitively so. Also, I email or call them prior to the market and special order my tripe, caul fat, spleen, belly, and trotters. Folks in the US are too focused on cheap, cheap, cheap and so we've pretty much lost our traditional butchers.R.

In England, practically every village has a butcher and often they offer not just game and the usual fare, but they can order more unusual things (tripe) and often sell meat from local farms, or true free range poultry. Going to the supermarket here just depresses me. Where do *you* purchase meat around here?Harkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474960471644783745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757674064058634966.post-15753009371309578402011-03-02T11:52:37.050-08:002011-03-02T11:52:37.050-08:00Wild game is really amazing stuff.

You can get it from time to time, but it is technically illegal to sell (I think it is in most places), and to buy it from a licensed processor is really pricey.R.

All the meat had been donated by local hunters. There were such dishes as pheasant egg rolls, elk meatballs, rabbit and squirrel stew and wild turkey with mashed potatoes. Here in Minnesota I've run into more people supplementing their diet with local wildlife, especially fish.Phillip Rousheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151691624623324272noreply@blogger.com
