ISSUE 7 Christmas 2020 HERD ISSUE 7 *FREE-RANGE STUFFED TURKEY BREAST Christmas 2020 (See recipe on page 10) FEATURING OUR “CUT SMALLER” RANGE 10 CONTENTS MEET THE TEAM 02 LOCKDOWN ON CASTLEMEAD FARM 04 WELCOME SLOW-GROWN CHRISTMAS BIRDS 08 TURKEY RECIPE 10 It’s very hard to summarise the last 12 months at field&flower. SOUS VIDE 11 As you can imagine, we have a risk document to help us think about the challenges we GRASS-FED CHRISTMAS BEEF 12 might encounter as a small business. You won’t be surprised to hear that a global pandemic wasn’t listed in that document. The biggest risk we’d ever unaccounted for was a few years CHRISTMAS TRIMMINGS 13 ago when a fox helped himself to several hundred turkeys. How times change. CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST 14 The last 6 months have seen the business deal with significant changes and challenges. SALMON RECIPE 16 We have been fortunate enough to keep our doors open so that we can support you, our customers, and we’re proud of the way our team has adapted to deal with a very different BOXING DAY 18 field&flower. The small team we had in March has grown significantly and they have worked OUR PIG FARMER SIMON PRICE 20 day and night to keep our service running smoothly – for which we are exceptionally grateful. FREE-RANGE CHRISTMAS PORK 22 We would like to give a special word of thanks to Liz, our Operations Office Manager. Liz managed the process of keeping everyone safe in our operations base, strategically FARESHARE SOUTHWEST 24 planning shifts and creating work bubbles to ensure the team could continue with their jobs CHRISTMAS SET BOXES & HAMPERS 26 in a safe and efficient way. This is no mean feat at the best of times, so in Covid times (with night shifts, new team members and an influx of orders) it was, quite simply, a heroic effort. FUN FOR THE LITTLE ONES 28 During lockdown we set up an NHS initiative that is still running today, prioritising customers CHRISTMAS FAQS 29 working in the national health service. We also increased our support for FareShare South West, who we’ve been working with for the past two years, donating 200,000 meals to date. You can help us to continue supporting them with their FoodStock 2020 campaign this Christmas (see page 25). Of course, with hospitality closing we also began supporting our free-range farmers by utilising stock that was going to be wasted. Our farmers are the hidden heroes in this pandemic in our opinion, and it saddens us to know they have been undermined by the recent Agricultural Bill, despite their stoicism throughout lockdown. You can read more about Stu, our poultry farmer, and the challenges he continues to face on page 5. We have been planning Christmas since July and we are really looking forward to delivering those turkeys and getting some rest! Thank you for your kind words, patience and custom over the last 12 months, everyone at field&flower really appreciates it. Here’s to 2021. FIELD&FLOWER CO-FOUNDERS MEET THE TEAM Not much is certain this year, but we can be sure that we’ll have a good groan and a laugh about some dodgy Christmas cracker jokes.

    CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (from either the French chair cuite = cooked meat, or the French cuiseur de chair = cook of meat) is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products such as sausage primarily from pork. The practice goes back to ancient times and can involve the chemical preservation of meats; it is also a means of using up various meat scraps. Hams, for instance, whether smoked, air-cured, salted, or treated by chemical means, are examples of charcuterie. The French word for a person who prepares charcuterie is charcutier , and that is generally translated into English as "pork butcher." This has led to the mistaken belief that charcuterie can only involve pork. The word refers to the products, particularly (but not limited to) pork specialties such as pâtés, roulades, galantines, crépinettes, etc., which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie." SAUSAGE A simple definition of sausage would be ‘the coarse or finely comminuted (Comminuted means diced, ground, chopped, emulsified or otherwise reduced to minute particles by mechanical means) meat product prepared from one or more kind of meat or meat by-products, containing various amounts of water, usually seasoned and frequently cured .’ A sausage is a food usually made from ground meat , often pork , beef or veal , along with salt, spices and other flavouring and preserving agents filed into a casing traditionally made from intestine , but sometimes synthetic. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved by curing , drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking or freezing.

This study aims to develop a processed product from warthog meat in the form of back bacon (Longissimus thoracis et lumborum) as a healthy alternative meat product and to determine its chemical and sensory characteristics derived from adult and juvenile boars and sows. The highest scored attributes included typical bacon and smoky aroma and flavor, and salty flavor, as well as tenderness and juiciness. Neither sex nor age influenced the bacon’s chemical composition; the bacon was high in protein (~29%) and low in total fat (<2%). Palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), linoleic (C18:2!6), oleic (C18:1!9c), and arachidonic (C20:4!6) were the dominant fatty acids. There was an interaction between sex and age for the PUFA:SFA ratio (p = 0.01).

  • Spencer's Jolly Posh British and Irish Foods
    EAT FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER! Weird, wonderful and true – bangers and bacon are traditionally eaten at any time of day by the British & Irish. Such is their affection for these tasty little beings, they have invented some truly great recipes, several of which are listed below…. DID YOU KNOW? Bangers and bacon are two of Britain & Ireland’s most genuine and favorite foods, with celebrity fans including Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, Prince Charles, Queen Victoria, and Roger Moore (“007”). British & Irish bacon is traditionally called “back-bacon” because it is made with pork loin. This makes it leaner than American bacon, which is typically from pork belly. British & Irish bangers have a milder, less salty flavor than their American counterparts, and are more finely ground. The addition of a small amount of breadcrumbs softens both the texture and taste. There are over 400 different types of banger sold in Britain & Ireland. They are made from a wide range of fillings, but regardless of the filling a traditional banger is thick, juicy and generous (at least an inch in diameter and 4 to 5 inches long). OUR PRODUCTS Spencer’s product range consists of a delicious dry-cured bacon, and two premium bangers – a Traditional Pork, and a Pork and Herb – which are perfect for tables in pubs, restaurants and homes. Fancy some Bacon? Spencer’s back-bacon is a hand-trimmed, hand-rubbed and dry-cured bacon made to an authentic British recipe. This specialty bacon is made using pork loin, in a dry-cure process that can take up to 10 days – that’s a long time to wait for a decent slice of bacon, but it creates a lean and truly unique flavor.

  • Selection and Use of Bacon
    Bulletin 232 December 1926 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION SELECTION AND USE OF BACON ALICE M. CHILD DIVISION OF HOME ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY FARM, ST. PAUL SELECTION AND USE OF BACON By ALICE M. CHILD INTRODUCTION What knowledge is necessary in selecting bacon for the home? ·what are the factors by which standard bacon is determined? What can the consumer learn with respect to the slicing of bacon? What is a standard piece of cooked bacon? How is a standard piece of bacon cooked? ·what is the nutritive Yalue of bacon? How much of the bacon for which the consumer pays is actually eaten? \\That proportion is rendered out as drippings? How can bacon drippings best be util­ ized? In what methods of using bacon are consumers int.erested? Since bacon is a highly nutritiYe, appetizing, easily prepared food and suited to1 all members of the family, it is worth while to secure data which relate to the above questions. This bulletin gives the results of such investigations. 1 Preparation of Market Bacon and Comparative Costs For choice bacon the hog should be light in weight, comparatively thin, and hard fleshed. The feed of the hogs must be carefully regu­ lated, as the kind of feed determines whether the fat will be hard or soft. ( r) Yorkshire and Tamworth hogs are considered best for bacon products and these breeds are frequently classified as "bacon type" hogs. Most bacon is cut from the belly of the hog, but a small quantity is from the jowl, or cheek, from the brisket, and from the back, the last being called rib-back bacon.
