This morning have collected from the butcher the first lot of Mangalitza meat we have ever done ...... much bigger pig than I would have wanted but done it all the same.

Now to deal with the huge amount of meat, it looks great and the butcher commented to the quality, must say he had never seen one before, I did also get funny looks at the abattoir when I opened the trailer.
I have followed all Traceys advice re recipies, will let you know how I get on.

Thinks its pork tonight then, we have people coming for dinner so lets try it out.

At last! Let us know how you get on.

We have a long wait for our three boys, but when they are ready I cannot wait to try it. Not wishing them dead of course, but it is what they are bred for after all!

we took two gilts in today, i will be collecting them on friday.

off shopping tomorrow for salt

All I can say.... is I am well pleased with the meat, no taint at all ( he was 2 years old and a daddy) and the colour is superb, slightly like the colour of rose veal. Tastes like beef actually, or is that just me.

I have done all the different sausages, and have some bacon and ham doing.

And a freezer full of meat.
