Not yet...I have several questions to ask him when I go on Thursday. I will also ask him about chine. Up to now I've been using things like mince, belly pork etc to be cheap, but now I need even cheaper, and I know there are some cuts that don't get displayed these days cos no one uses them.

Fortunately, a lot of local people go shooting and we have let everyone know that we are happy to have the things they usually throw away like pigeon and even rabbit. (Can you believe it??). It doesn't get much cheaper than free and I imagine that those sort of things will do particularly well in the slow cooker. I intend to try rabbit stew in it in the very near future as we have two in the freezer.

Love Lynne
