charliebrown Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cracking night chaps. Congrats to huff huff (I think it was you anyway) for boning better than the rest, in 3 mins flat no less (feel free peeps lol!). Peltman I hope the fingers heal ok, billy you need professional help my friend! In all seriousness it was good to meet some of you all, only caught a few names though. Big thanks to nick for organising the evening, all the staff in the verulam arms for a cracking night but most importantly to Colin for showing us how its done, its incredible the things you pick up from watching a pro work so big thanks to you. The video is going to be a good one but I think the sound was playing up for the first 20 mins, but even so it will be one to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the pelt man Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Peltman I hope the fingers heal ok, Cheers Charlie, just got to A&E feeling dizzy and put on a drip as i lost 5 pints of blood. But to look on the bright side Colin said he can make a cracking black pudding out of what he squeezed out the tea-towel, so get down there again and give it a try :lol: :lol: PELTY PS THANKS COLIN LAD FOR A GREAT NIGHT and the plasters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Guys, had a great night tonight. This was my first PW meet up so to speak and it was good putting faces to names after all this time. Big thanks to Nick of course for organising the event and to the guys who donated the munty's and rabbits. Collin who was our master butcher for the night was excellent and did a great job doing his demonstration. It was a lot to take on board for one night considering I have never butchered anything bigger than a rabbit, but at least I now know you can split a sausage, take the skin off and use the meat for stuffing The food was excellent and will wait for Neil, Stealth Stalker, to get the recipe for the smoked pigeon once he sobers up in four or five days time. Looking forward to the pictures and seeing the video!! Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Mungler you ****! Did you not see Nick's earlier post telling you about the parking Nazi's around these parts..! Many thanks to those who contributed to the nights exhibition and entertainment - none less than Colin's total exhibition of butchery skills! The sheer quantity and variety of cuts, joints and meat preparation was simply amazing to experience. Even for those of of us who turned up late.... A special mention should go to Beardo, Colin and those who helped organised the night. Many hands made light work of an evenings educational entertainment that not only provided an education in butchery skills but also the cooking and demonstrations. Who would think that blackberries and venison would taste so good or that such a variety of cuts and joints were possible from a mere Muntjac! Props should also go to the Foragers Arms (http://www.the-foragers.com/) for hosting such a fantastic night. They're obviously thoughtful about where their produce comes from and I wouldn't be surprised if we see more from them in the future. Bring on a "Bring-Your-Own" BBQ night - Crayfish, Muntjac, Rabbit, Pigeon... you bring it and they'll cook it..!! Once again, many thanks to Colin for the exhibition of skills and plenty of others (Beardo, Stalker, Pelty) for organising and contributing to such a fantastic night!!

the pelt man Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Cosd,Catcherpelt, Beardo was right, the fatty membrain is called the Caul. Shame Colin Lad had left for bed as he could have confimed what Beardo said. Even though i said i knew what it was called, Caul dosen't ring any bells. But i'm not gonna forget agian.

Dunkield Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Great night enjoyed that, I will just add my thanks to Colin for givin gup his time and Nick for sorting it all out :thumbs: I now feel even more guilty about the amount of meat I chuck in the green bin 'must try harder' as I seem to remember being told at school.

al4x Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) many thanks all was a good demo and very interesting to see it done properly. The dog is set to go hungry now Mungler I have to say the only thing to make you feel better is the official car park was £8 so to park closer was probably worth it probably the highlight of the night was Billy reckoning he was being groomed by a member in Herts who I can add wasn't there Edited September 13, 2011 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 A great night - I had the poops at 3 a.m and am blaming it on Stealth Stalker's Canada Goose bilton - well, as is often the case I had had a few drinks and eating bilton seemed like a good idea at the time. Obviously a big round of applause to all who "arranged" and or "did" and particularly Colin who made it all look so easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome of the Woods Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I can only echo what has already been said. Thanks to Colin, Nick & the team at The Verulam Arms. I feel surprisingly fresh considering :-) Great to put names to faces, pretty much all have been forgotten already! :-( Some of the "you had to be there" quotes He looks like a Jehovah don't let him in! Followed by "go round to the side door" "That crossbow is really working well for you" "What really, on the shoulder's! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Cracking night chaps - Good to see some old faces and some new ones. The grub was superb - Smoked pigeon was brilliant and the venison tagine was absolutely awesome. The Tring bitter weren't bad either!! I avoided eating Neils plimsole biltong.. and consequently I feel fine this monring And why did it taste of fish?????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 And why did it taste of fish?????????? mm that defeated me as well slightly odd biltong tasting fishy still I appear to have a stronger constitution than Mung as its had no negative effects.
