I'm in love with my meat

[Chuffy]

Yes, it's a cookery thread!
I've been mostly cooking with shin of beef recently. £3.84/kg in Sainsburys at the mo'. £3.84/kg!!!! Makes a bloody good steak and kidney stew.
At the weekend I shall be mostly making an huge beef stew with lots of home grown veg.

Does anyone else have bits of meat that they love?

Shin of beef is about as cheap as you can get! Long slooooooooow cooking needed though.

Spit roast?

Lamb neck, cooked in a sort of morrocan style or alternatively in a slightly sweet pruney casserole.

Is shin fatty?
I don't like fatty meats too much.

Venison. Just bought a load of it today.
I have also just started to buy local Hebridean Lamb which is stunningly good. (I am also thinking about keeping sheep).
Highland Beef - superb, buy it from the estate a few miles away.
Fish - I know a few local fishermen.
Birds - my neighbour gives me grouse, pheasant, geese, duck, etc FOC.
All other meat - there is a field 100 yards from my house and my neighbour keeps me in cheap supply of meat from the cattle raised.

All my veg is local, mostly seasonal and free - well the local farmers let me help myself from the field And likewise with fruit....

A nice roast chicken - followed by many delicious roast chicken sandwiches and soup or stock from its bones. Even if you get a fancy cossetted chicken it's a bargain compared to 2 fish suppers/ couple of drinks in the pub/ bought sarnies etc etc...

Yep, pan fried belly/loin of pork for me. Not good for you I'm sure but luverly with roast spuds and cranberry stuffing. Pan made gravy/sauce mandatory. I'm salivating just thinking about it.
