It went in the bin. It shredded like pulled pork and looked nice but was useless to eat.
Isn't that type of meat always a bit chewy?
I suspect a large part of it is that you can't slice it thinly enough with a knife, you need a bacon slicer. Serrano, Prosciutto/Parma etc. (i.e. 'raw' hams) are all like that.
However that said, there are plenty of recipes that use bigger pieces - and more often the rind - cooked for a long long time.
I had a Remington 1907 pattern bayonet, WD stamped 1918. I paid £18 for it in 1973.
Wish I knew what happened to it.
I have seen these go for around £100 but way better condition than the one i have
Not that i bought it recently but i also have an old sewing machine. According to the serial number its from around the same era 1903-1907. Keep meaning to find parts to get at working properly but never knew the date until recently so may just make that a wee winter project. Make a nice door stop when done.
Those type of sewing machines are blooming lovely to use. Slower than electric but far more capable on far more fabrics!!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Must be an island thing, we don't bother with air conditioning up here either.
I'm closer to outer space than I am the coast.
I'd love a nice sea breeze, but only if you can do away with tourists, traffic, the sea, sand and everything else that comes with living close to the coast.

Needed some new sportswear so went into T K Maxx. Got loads of nice Ellesse stuff in there so I'm looking like an Italian sporting god in my new tops, shorts and socks for a bargain price.
