Ffuxake, thanks very much for kicking it off, that looks like proper Pistonheads hearty grub and those Rumblethumps are definitely going to be tried, can we have a full recipe for them please.

[Ffuxake]

Is anyone else planning to enter this one? Was looking forward to some yummy pate ideas.

[Pixel-Snapper]

I'm going to try and sneak something in by the end hopefully.

Its going to be quite involving so finding the times difficult at the moment.

[Mobile Chicane]

I have a plan!

[calibrax]

I still have a jar of pate de fois gras entier from when I went over to France a few months ago, but I really can't decide what to do...

[TeeRev]

It would be very rude not to make an entry into my own theme.

The main ingredient for my dish was ordered today from my special butcher so I hope to have something interesting on a plate by early next week.

Ok here's my offering, being a bastion of hearty grub I give you...

FAGGOT SLAB WITH RUMBLEDETHUMPS, MEDALLIONS OF HAGGIS & BLACK PUDDING AND A CREAMY WHISKY SAUCE


Faggot made from chicken livers, pig's heart and pork mince with spices and herbs.


In true CDWM style I admit to not making the haggis and black pud from scratch, they were bought from a fantastic butchers in Biggar, Scotland.


The money shot! Faggot was succulent and juicy and the rumbledethumps (potato, turnip & kale with cheese crust) flavoursome. The sauce is a bonus rather than a necessity... The scotch and lemo is however a necessity after a day in the kitchen!

Magnificent!
That is all.

We'll have to sort out something for the Surstromming, I can bring the foie gras along and we can use it as an antidote

Good plan.

[TeeRev]

Is Surstromming classed as offal, or is it just awful?

[Pixel-Snapper]

Right finalised my dish which is based on a well known children's nursery rhyme.

[Mobile Chicane]

I only hope this is going to turn out better than it looks - I haven't been anywhere near a lamb's heart since I dissected one at school...

[Mobile Chicane]

Quite a bit of trimming required:

However here's Bob devouring his aorta...

[Ffuxake]

Digging out the congealed blood from the inside of the heart is an absolute pleasure isn't it Mob!

That was a bit , but Bob hoofed it up - lamb's his favourite.

[scarble]

Just so I'm clear on the rules, is this Mob's three photos then?

(also, more pics of Bob )

I haven't cooked it yet! I'm going to comp together the prep shots (which I hope is allowed) since there was quite a bit of 'trimming' required to get the hearts looking like something you might actually want to eat.
