A Pig in the Freezer

My wife decided that seeing as the Farm she works on are getting rid of their pigs soon, now was the time to buy some pork cheap while we still had the chance. So she ordered 'half a pig'. She staggered back home with it today, just over 40KG of pork!!!!!

The biggest rolled joint, about 15kg

It's loosely called 'half a pig' but I'm sure alot of it is based on weight, but we now have a freezer exploding with meat. Two hams including trotters, three racks of ribs, over twenty chops/gammon steaks/ loin steaks, three bags of 'mystery meat', a whole liver, and three rolled belly/shoulder joints (the biggest weighing about 15kg!).


Bags and bags of cut joints

We Chopped up the rolled joints into smaller more manageable bits, they still made fifteen separate cuts! I'm going to be living on Pork for months and months!

Better sharpen my knife!

Any chance we might enjoy some of the pork on Sunday 13th May???? Just got back from a rough ride over the moors on my new mountain bike. Good fun. Louis did a run/bike/run race. Love, Sarah
