Bacon before Christmas
I was staying with friends SW of Toulouse and came across an English butcher who had the most heavenly bacon. I have brought bacon back from the UK for 10 years but this bacon is far superior to most you buy in the UK, let alone here ! I am trying to persuade him to send here but in the meantime he has a friend driving to Rodez on 19th where I can collect. I will be make an order but if anyone wants some, I would be happy to collect and arrange a drop off in Villefranche de Rouergue.
Cost: Unsmoked back €12 per 500 gm (16 rashers) Unsmoked streaky €10 per 500 gm (20 rashers) Smoked Back €14 per 500 gm (16 rashers) - I can vouch for this – delicious dry cured. Smoked streaky €12 per 500 gm (20 rashers)
Ham hocks €5 each Loin roasting joint with crackling €7.50 per kilo
