    By the time they delivered it these days it would be off. Be quicker to go on a hunt and catch a fresh one.

    Goodies ...but where they go wrong is failing to realise the elusive haggis has a front and rear leg longer on one side than the other to enable it to quickly navigate the side of a hill (but only in a clockwise direction). Chase them the other way and they are easy to catch. When plucking them to enable even cooking it is best to pull the shorter legs, keep pulling them until they are even, not an easy task, but persevere and keep pulling those legs.

    Ohiwa Flounder on Toast with Lemon Thyme Butter and shrimp Hollandaise Sauce.

    Lemon Thyme Butter

    Put plenty of Lemon Thyme leaves in a mortar and bash it with the pestle until it releases its oil and flavour.
    Stir into soft butter and leave it in the fridge to cool.

    Hollandaise sauce
    Put a handful of cooked shrimps into the blender and blitz (how fine depends on how you like it – I leave it a little chunky so you can see the bits of shrimp in the sauce.
    Make the Hollandaise (Egg yolks, cream, lemon juice, butter) and add the shrimp just before it is finished.

    Flounder (I use one per person for a main, half per person for an entrée)
    I give mine about three to four minutes each side in the microwave for this dish (usually I cook flounder in the frying pan). Cook it until the flesh falls away easily from the bone.

    Make the toast. Light brown, don’t make it too dark or it will over-ride the taste of the flounder.

    Assemble
    Spread the lemon thyme butter on the toast, put the flesh of the flounder on the toast, then pour over the shrimp hollandaise.

    I last served this with a Capsicum, Feta and Avocado salad, with spring onions and a garlic and herb yoghurt dressing.
    .........make the Hollandaise should read:

    Pigs cheeks and heads can be had quite cheaply, fantastic eating.

    If anyone wants an out line for making sausage from a pigs head I'm happy to post it. I reckon most folk might be a bit sideways on the idea.
    I have a recipe for a brawn. I need a pigs head, six or so hours to cook it, and the next day to prep it. But I am going to do it.

    second the beef cheeks idea. My new work is above a butcher that serves the chinese community. He has everything. Everything. Prices not so bad either. I really like the idea of eating all of the beastie not just the "good" bits.

    One of the things we eat a lot of (at restaurants) now is intesines and stomach and kidneys and liver. tasty as.

    I was out with my workmates one lunchtime and asked her what we were eating that was so tasty. She looks at me quizzically for a second, and says "Um, its (struggling for the word) ummm "Shit tube"" So now we have "Shit tube" whenever we go out. Its hilarious.

    I make mine in a metal bowl sitting in the top part of a steamer - and boil the water ... only the steam hits the bowl and heats the sauce ...

    You have to stir it constantly ..

    When we cut up pigs in the butcher shop for clients we added to the box a plastic bag blown up and tied with the word "oink" written on it, to ensure they got it all back.

    Iv'e done heads and a lot of meat on them but the loin is the better eating. Only part haven't tried is the eyeball, we used to cut them out and place a sprig of parsley in the socket to make them look pretty for shop window displays Trotters are good for making brawn, and dog food.

    The Hororata cafe - which has superb pies - occasionally does a batch of Beef cheek pies.....When he featured on the Topp twins show i think that's what he did for them.
    I'll have a couple of them for my last meal thanks....

    Beef cheeks are ugly but that's the only downside.

    Hollandaise?
    Blender and hot butter. None of that cooking the eggs out stuff.

    Stick your butter into a saucepan on the stove and slowly let it heat and start to bubble, hot. It will plop.
    At this point you will have egg yolks, vinegar/lemon juice, mustard etc, ready and waiting in the blender or whizzer. Do not add salt, the butter is probably salted. Set your gadget off at a speed sufficient to aerate the stuff in it but not dance off the bench. Slowly and carefully trickle the butter in, to much to soon scrambles the egg. It's hot. If it gets really thick add some water the same way, to thin it slightly and continue adding your butter and whey. I can't think of a single thing I don't like about butter, so I use all of it.
    Once it's made you can adjust the taste whichever way you like.
    Eat all of it straight away.
    If you have more hollandaise than you need, cook more food.

    That's no fun ...

    I probably enjoy cooking more than I enjoy eating - cooking is very relaxing ..

    We have recently bought a food dehydrator ...persimmons/kiwifruit/mango and tamarillo seems have a more intense flavour.

    I've been thinking about that - we have a deep freeze and preserving jars full of this season's fruit - I've been thinking that dehydrating them would be a different way of using the fruit
