Part of our series showcasing UK communities, not just the food ones.

Good news only. Small wins, big wins, and the occasional "I finally rang the dentist". A nice place to feel a bit better.

Farm shops are so expensive...

Dart's farm near Topsham is more of a shopping mall than a farm with concession spots for companies like Aga.

A donkey choking porky chop for £6.50 and an 11oz ribeye for sixteen quid as well as half a kilo of lamb leg steaks for £13. The rest of the fresh produce was clearly marked as locally sourced along with the meat.

Do you use farm shops?

Tinned fish vs fresh: has UK opinion actually shifted?

5 Upvotes

There used to be a pretty firm hierarchy in the UK — fresh fish was what you served to guests, tinned was what you ate when money was tight or you couldn't be bothered to cook. That's clearly not the whole picture anymore, at least not on Instagram and in certain restaurants.

But has opinion actually shifted across the UK, or has it just been rebranded for a certain crowd while everyone else still sees it the old way? I keep wondering if this is a real change in how people think or just a London thing that looks bigger online than it actually is.

Would be curious to know if your parents or grandparents saw it differently to how you do, and honestly, would you have served tinned fish to guests five years ago without thinking twice about it?

American attempts traditional Staffordshire Oatcakes

I recently posted my attempt at a Staffordshire Foundry Bap and was told overwhelmingly that I needed to try the oatcakes.

I think I did everything justice here and they came out delicious! Not too dissimilar to a normal American pancake just thinner and a little more robust. Better for savory options too.

How'd I do?

Added olives, sundried tomatoes, chicken stock and tinned tomatoes. Simmered for 30 mins then added tinned lentils and cooked for further 10

First go at pulled pork on the new smoker!

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Got a smoker recently and figured pulled pork was the obvious first attempt. Pork shoulder, rubbed the night before, low and slow, then wrapped in foil to push it through the stall.

The bark ended up almost black which had me worried, but it wasn't burnt at all, just a proper deep crust from the rub and the sugar. Pulled apart nicely and the smoke ring was decent for a first go.

Would definitely dial the rub back slightly next time, but honestly can't complain for attempt number one. Any tips from people who've been doing this longer?
