    Giant Chickens from Felsham

    Written by
    Phil Truin's Super-Size free range chickens are winning prizes for taste but only if you are prepared to pay £30 a bird. I have three pretty hefty ones in my garden that are hand-fed so I might get a few more, but if you want to buy one they're here http://www.natoora.co.uk/blog/2011/03/in-the-press-phill-truin-free-range-chicken/

    Eric's Prime Cuts

    Written by

    And prime they are indeed! I bought a chicken but what I really wanted was that rib of beef in the window at £40 - and probably worth every penny.

    Edis of Ely make the best takeaway food snacks in their butchers in St Johns Street. I have mentioned them before - their still warm scotch eggs and at least three types of pasties and sausage rolls. I bought a Tin Miners for £1.35 - minced lamb, carrots and onions, perfectly seasoned, with pastry shiny with beaten egg, oozing a bit of gravy but still crisp. And I was the youngest customer in the shop !

    Goat meat from Rattlesden

    Written by

    My links with the Caribbean dictate that I have to have goat meat every now and then and now we have a supplier - the most delicious barbecued chops I have ever had jerked in England! Forgot to take a picture though.

    Scotch eggs (again)

    Written by

    My friend from France is here and the one food she remembers (and wants to buy) are the Scotch eggs we had from the Edris of Ely butchers! So we eat them in the Abbey Gardens. I had a Cornish Pasty.

    Eye Eye

    Written by

    Had a little wander round the shops while my son played football and bought a whole chicken from this butchers. I've shown him how to joint it and make coq u vin with some of it, saving the rest for another meal. It was £6 - way more than a supermarket but we could certainly taste the difference. Grow my own veg but the sign on the shop opposite was tempting too as have just been on an apple hunt with my sister. Found lovely sweet wild ones that were just like Gala - apart from the holes.

    I love George Debman butchers

    Written by

    Because he said the piece I wrote about him in last year's Christmas edition of Suffolk magazine was 'sensational'. And he says that if I go to his butchers he will give me a bit of free bacon.
