  • A trip down the culinary rabbit hole.
    Making the classic Bath chaps. This is a traditional English butcherd product whicj unfortunately, has fallen out of favour, so I was keen to demonstrate how to make it before it is consigned to the history books forever. This was once a staple on every butchers cooked meat counter but is now becoming a rare sight. The last one I made was In 1997 so I thought it was time for a little revival. Enjoy.

    If you take it out when cooked it will steam away making the meat dry, so as Scott Says leave it in the cook pot until ready. Briddy now 85 years old .Old school UK.

    Love the channel. I have learned so much and it seems that when my family goes nuts over a meal, I have to give you props (toad in a hole was a fav). Been watching (old and new) for a several years. Really, really enjoy the cutlery resto and butcher block resto.
    I’m in Oklahoma USA. We We raise our own beef, pork and chicken. Hunt deer, elk and small game/fowl. Fishing is huge here. It’s been a minute since you’ve done a fish vid.
    Also, not sure about the UK, but in this region, we use EVERY part of the animal. We love our calf fries, lamb fries, turkey fries and my favorite, deer fries.
    I know fish & chips are big in the UK and is a favorite of mine, but I would like to see my favorite butcher/cook make a fish and “fries” video (challenge). Keep up the awesome content brother!

    I love a Bath Chap, they used to be on the menu at the St. John restaurant quite regularly, but I've not seen them on the menu for some time, and I go there regularly - that said there was a time when you'd get squirrel on their menu too, but not any more.

    If Gordon Ramsay was to make this on one of his shows, you'd be paying £20 for a plate of this with boiled cabbage and carrots in a gastropub.
    Real "peasant"/rural food. The only thing on the pig you don't eat is the grunt- and possibly the teeth and toenails.

    Have you ever tried Paye, from Pakistan? It's boiled sheep's trotters in a spiced broth, and they're wonderful. All gelatinous and bones, but the broth is so full of goodness. They have it for breakfast, with fresh Nan.

    Makes me feel hungry, keep your posh nosh, I'm Lancashire mid 50's, up until 2014 when we lost our local butcher I could get a pigs head for a pound, brawn was a regular treat because you could flavour it different ways, and the dog loved the ears and snout (the pet shop charged 50p for one ear).
    Love the butchery Scott, but also loving the simple old school home cookery, 👍👍

    Looks delicious 👏👏👍. I’ve bought a whole pig’s head last week and made some brawn , delicious . I’ve saved some of the meat and the cheeks to make some guanciale but will definitely cook a bit this way . Totally agree about the lard and the pigs fat , my grandad used to butcher their pig before Christmas every year and we sometimes ate some on bread instead of butter ( which was much more expensive ) .

    I always loved the fat on pork, especially cured pork, but these days people treat fat on meat as if its poison and its usually been trimmed away before you see it unless you know a butcher who knows his job. Fat on meat is only bad for you if you eat too much of it, and sometimes its 60% of the flavour!
