Recipe of the day

Loosely translated from the Householdbook by J.S.Lindal 1947
A book no home should be without. And no Lady of the house can call herself a true Lady of the house until she has studied it from cover to cover.
Religiously.

Leg Cheese
Sheep legs are to be singed over a fire, all hairs should dissappear, you need an iron in the fire for hairremoval between the toes . Legs to be soaked in saltwater, scraped and then rinsed many times in clean water. Then they are boiled in slightly salted water, until the bones fall off. Then taken out and all bones removed. Meat should be squeezed, while squeezing add slowly the broth. To the cheese you should add spices, salt, pepper, cloves, according to taste. The cheese should be kneaded until it has reached a consistency, then put in a moist cloth and pressed overnight, then cut and pickled.

Yumm..........
The next recipe in the book is Pickled Calf´s Head. If anyone is interested in obtaining the recipe, please contact me and I will have it sent to you once the postman comes a knocking.

Also, I am hereby advertising for a survivor of Leg Cheese tasting for elaboration.

well, nevermind, I made a search on the net and and it says nothing grows and only sheep live there so I think I have asked a pointless question and a stupid one.

this cheese actually sounds pretty tasty! it's essentially cheese made with hideously expensive stock, after all. and stock is what **** restaurants use to add the special flavours they charge so much for.

tell you what: you make it, and i'll import it, and i'll sell it to all the londoners looking for things to spend their money on, and we'll share the profit-- how's that sound?


(@anon: how 'bout some rotting shark on "dried fish" apparently made of wood? and what's wrong with whale sushi? it tasted lovely!)
