Oh yes, horse tartare is a dish I like. It’s always odd that most Brits shy away from anything outside the basic three meats: Adult pigs, young sheep and grass-fed cows.
For me, getting aged venison, wood pigeon, veal and squirrel means that I’m going to have a fun day in the kitchen. But I am one from the shires: We care for the animal, kill it quickly and use all parts out of respect.
I generally avoid prepping snakes and eels myself as nailing them to the worktop is the only easy way to stop a mass of muscle breaking shit long after death. The maddest was in Shanghai, when I came home to a goose in my shower.

Makgeolli also lends itself to tteok-bokki and all fried kimchi dishes.
I was going through the Royal Mail website to set up a delivery to a post office (Yes, they claimed that the door to my house is invisible again) and I spotted some rather odd stamps:
Making a prototype breakfast muffin after seeing Townsends’ traditional take on it.
So a fluffy sour dough muffin with a durum wheat crust, scrambled duck eggs, melted Red Leicester above the lettuce and smoked apple wood under the dry cured and smoked gammon slice and 1/3 pound Cumberland sausage patty.
I think this experiment takes breakfast beyond 11. Oh and @lanc13 this is the first photo showing the first session of my finger tattoo update (I tend to do three sessions each year as hand tattoos are easily damaged.
