The Meat Chronicles

[JungleCat03]

Sounds good. I want some now.

You really are going to have to spend a little time on presentation but the menus you are finding sound "interesting".

The pears did surprise me a bit. Firstly I am not a fan of fruit with meat and that includes apple sauce with pork. Here, the fruit would be a strong accompaniment but the meat was going to be the high point. Therefore it didn't warrant the competition.

Following criticism of the presentation, I am going to aim to get better at that next time. Funny whenever I serve food, people often say to me, stop spending so long making it look good and just slap it on the plate!

I can see you and Kev have very high standards when it comes to the visual aspect though so next time it should look much improved.

I think it is a bit hard to make it look good without a good camera though. Still I like a challenge!

Suggestion for the striped one. Basic Berni Inn fare, chips, mushrooms, sweet corn and, maybe, a side salad. I would guess some English mustard would bring out the taste. Washed down with Castle lager.

Did it taste better than it looked ?

lol @ rod getting grief over his presentation! funny thing is he cleared the table for his picture and the look of disgust on rods face when kev snap replys with this quote was golden!

i am quite gutted that rod let me sleep through this evenings sitting of kangaroo but i do hear that theres abit sitting in the fridge waiting for me so i will let u know the real verdict after i re-heat the little fella and c him off with a bottle beer!

sick thread, think its 4/6 shot to make BoB.

Max bet?


I speak from experience when i say Rod's food presentation has always been naff, but the standard of food has always been excellent!

Great thread, can't wait for the future posts!

Here it is. I only have my camera to take pics so quality isn't brilliant.

in an ideal world what would you use to take pictures? a rubber glove?

all jokin aside, great thread, should be very interesting to see the rest of the ensemble.

Can't imagine the croc will be very tasty, good luck when that comes round. Hope I'm wrong.

Brain not always engaged before typing lol.

I'm taking pics on my lame-ass nokia. One step up from getting a drunk blind man to sketch the picture.

I've already sampled the croc but I will keep my findings to myself as I have one more portion of croc to cook, so that will be coming up a bit later.

Don't want to spoil the surprise. Plus I can use one of Snoopy's favorite jokes when it comes to the croc.

It's a belter!

I can't make up my mind if this present was inspired or sick!

Obv Jungle loves it so it was inspired but to all those people looking for the ideal gift for me this is waaay down the list.

Love the thread though.

Don't understand why it would be a sick pressy, totally different but yummy imo.  We don't tend to eat a varity of meats over here (and Europe) but go to somewhere like SA and the butchers have all these meats as standard.

I would struggle to appreciate this present, when I was younger I was a lot less squeemish and ate wild boar, horse etc etc but once I had been to see Bambi and my dad pointed out that I was eating Bambi one day when we had venison that was it - I realised that Jemima Puddleduck was the same duck on the menu at the Chinese and I couldn't eat it.

Blame Disney and Beatrix Potter!
