Butchery Classes at The Ginger Pig

by Chris Osburn
Ever fancied becoming a butcher? Chris recently went on a Butchery class at The Ginger Pig. He learnt how to make his own sausages and came away knowing what sorts of ingredients to seek or avoid when buying them in the future.

With our trust in processed meat and supermarket supply chains weakening there’s no better time to consider independent butchers. It’s National Butchers Week from 4th - 10th March and Miriam had a chat with some award winning butchers in Nottinghamshire to see what local butchers have to offer.

This week is National Butchers' Week. Set up five years ago by the Meat Trades Journal it aims to promote the craft, skills, knowledge and profile of butchers across the UK by leading a week of special focus & activities around  different cuts of meat.  Great British Chefs blogger, Rosana McPhee from Hot & Chilli was invited to a meat tasting by Quality Meat Scotland.  Find out how she learnt how tasting beef requires similar skills to those found in wine tasting:
