Re: victorian farm
We've been watching it with interest too. The problem is I can remember my aunt using a dolly tub (when her twintub broke) so it makes me feel really old.

Re: victorian farm
Me too, i have also used shire horses when i was younger to pull timber out of the woods its so ecologicly better and sooooo much nicer to work with, a shire is a beautiful animal so strong and serene, if i could turn back the clock that would be my era.

Re: victorian farm
I've taped them but haven't got round to watching them yet. I noticed that some of the people in it are the same people who did "Tales from the Green Valley", a 12 part series which I absolutely loved and have on DVD, so I'm quite eager to watch the new series. It's just finding the quiet time...

Re: victorian farm
I know it looked a bit gruesome but do try it if you get a chance, it’s gorgeous. Hot with mash and thick gravy, cold with homemade pickles or in a sandwich with either mustard or horseradish.missy wrote:very interesting series... have been watching it so far, although a few of the things they did/ cooked freek me out, like the tongue in episode 2.

I like to think the older I get the wiser I become, but I'm not so sure.
Re: victorian farm
I've been watching it on iplayer - I have only ever seen rolled tongue before, which is more abstract... to see it presented in all it's glory was very gruesome

Re: victorian farm
We see the whole thing raw on display in the supermarket . I used to eat sliced (presumably rolled) tongue from the butchers when I was a kid - quite nice - but I wouldn't sit down to eat a whole cow's tongue if you paid me!

Re: victorian farm
We used to have sliced (rolled?) tongue as a kid too. I always felt uncomfortable eating it because the name kind of gave away what the product was. Not like beef or pork which I didn't associate with animals until I was in my mid-teens. At that point I decided I wanted to be veggie as I never liked the taste, feel, look or texture of meat anyway (probably my mother's cooking). Knowing it came from an animal was the final straw for me. I stayed veggie (well, pescatarian to be strictly accurate as I sometimes ate flat fish) for 22 years, only recently feeling the urge to try 'new' things. Sorry veggie friends, I'm quite enjoying trying all the different meats, and it was quite nice when we went to a restaurant recently - such a lot to choose from! That said, if you put a big tongue on the table in front of me and said "cook that", I'd very promptly tell you where to go

Re: victorian farm
I'm enjoying the Victorian Farm too - it comes across as quite educational in its presentation though.
Slightly off topic - My children eat their school dinners at the Cantine Municipale in our village. "Langue de bouef et frites" was on the menu on Friday and they enjoyed it...DD described it as "red beef ham stuff".
I didn't tell them what it actually was. And you can bet your life that they would NOT have eaten it had they realised it was the same beef tongue we often see raw in the shops!
Perhaps we are getting a bit squeamish and should get offal back on the menu in these leaner times.

Re: victorian farm
Oh I will happily eat offal - especially as haggis.......hmmmm haggis.....
I think I just struggle with it looking like what it is in it's living form... wouldn't be happy eating anything with a head on it :puke left: chop it up, boil it, serve it as stew I absolutely think we should use every part of a dead animal, it cost them their life, I think it is respectful to use every part.
As for the show, I am finding it really interesting, but haveing not watched much TV for around 2 years, I am finding it slow and condesending at times..... but wasn't that pig sty gorgeous, I have loads of stone in my garden, I want one, I want one

Re: victorian farm
Tongue My mother used to buy the whole from the butcher and boil and roll them. There is nothing worse than watching someone peel a tongue! And it doesn't even taste that nice!
Iwas rather interested in the games that they played in the last episode - and the comment about how modern life has affected the music making etc in our homes.

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
