Butifara Negre is very similar to our beloved Black Pudding.

First of all found a reference to truffles. Then the duck gizzards.

Actually I don't know where you'd find Duck Gizzards here, so we use duck breasts, and also a good quality pate.

Forget about all the fuss on Christmas Day - cooking breakfast, roasting a turkey, peeling potatoes, preparing vegetables and making mince pies & a Christmas pudding.
Just open a tin!

After some discussion, we shall have goose for lunch on St Nick's day this year, as usual.
One unpleasant bit is that I must do the usual necksnapping and the 'cleaning' bit on Crimbo Eve. Don't like that bit, of otherwise great fun.
Yum yum.
The goose, herself, is becoming distressingly friendly, more and more, with each passing day. I have difficulty with that.
Life (and the other bit), is so much easier for townies who pick up frozen carcasses from a deepfrozen bin in a city shop. None of that personal contact stuff.
Our Crimbo dinner has got a name and a personality, ferfuxake. She loves popcorn, ferfuxake. Who doesn't?
That's the second course. The two Maine lobsters for first course are doomed to ordinary cookery. They've got numbers, not names. Truncated to last numerals, they are 886 and 285. **** by boiling soon, both of 'em. Hard to emote with a crustacean.

A chap I worked with had a small holding with a few pigs, some chickens and geese. They decided to eat one of the geese at Christmas, he couldn't bring himself to do the necksnapping because it was so friendly so thought he would shoot it with his 22 rifle. He went in the barn sat down with his rifle and prepared to shoot the goose, he swore the goose figured out what was up and just came over to him and laid its head on his knee and looked him straight in the eye. The result was that they had roast ham for lunch and the goose lived a happy life with them until it died of natural causes!

Did they eat the goose?
Natural causes means something here outside of town, y'know.

I don't know if my friend ate the goose and I can't ask him because he moved on earlier this year and being the kind of bloke he was left his body to medical research!

Made Keto Cornbread yesterday, as I'm on a carb restricted diet.
Eggs, coconut flour, and baby corn.
Very good!
If any are on low carb diets these two websites have excellent recipes.

I've had a surprise delivery from Perthshire of a hundred brace of pheasants and a Red Deer carcass.
The beast had been gralloched on the hill and has hung for three weeks. I've skinned and boned it and put most of the cuts into a chest freezer.
Guess wot's fer tea tonight!
The Estate has had over a hundred thousand Pounds worth of cancellations for January alone. There just aren't enough guns to cull the deer and the pheasants and the chill rooms are full to overflowing as the restaurant trade has collapsed again. They're selling deer carcasses for £50 a pop and pheasants for 50p a brace and by next month they'll be practically giving them away.

Visiting D1 in Boulder CO. For lunch she cooked scallops and pork dumplings - properly cooked, that is, not just taken out of the packet and heated. She's now roasting a double bone-in bison rib eye for dinner.
Quite a good baitlayer, she is.
