I found an unusual butcher today in Smithfield Meat Market – Wesker and Son.
I hadn’t noticed this stall before, but the meat did seem to be exceptionally fresh.
I was quite tempted by some of the more exotic items,
though I wasn’t entirely sure about the offal.
The hands were good value,
at £5 each
– they did seem to have a run on them,
in fact they’d almost run out.
I may have to go back for more tomorrow, though in general the prices seemed a bit higher than my favourite butchers, Theobalds, but they had some good recipe cards.
Wesker and Sons are open for business today (28th) and tomorrow, 29th September 2012. After that there’s no hope left…

Very handy indeed……
It was for me, I’d just been in to buy bread at the St. John 😉
Eek! Wonder who might have had a hand in that?! Funny that I hadn´t “heard a sausage” about this place before…boom, boom!
They were good sausages too 😉
Awesome.. Did you even see that movie Eat The Rich?.. perfect.. though they had a lot of ground meat if I remember rightly! c
I was just thinking along those lines – Smithfield is ancient and I’m sure that a few unsavoury pies might have been made and sold their a few hundred years ago.
That is what I call ‘retail theatre’. Operating theatre that is. I love the addition of the hospital type screens. Brilliant stuff.
Best,

I’d say centre of operations 😉
feeuwl sic…not coming back …. Mad Dog… too far… go to art school … get off this food blog …
What? No deli counter? Surely there’s a take-away.
You’re right – I was disappointed not to get any ham!
I absolutely love these images….if my son (aka The Prince of Darkness – at five years old!) sees them he’ll have us on a plane to go get some!
I’m glad you like them. Perhaps you could turn your kitchen into a mini morgue for Halloween and put together one or two limbs.
I believe the hands are made with sausage meat and prosciutto – shhh, don’t tell anyone 😉
You little devil you!

I am having a very busy week…it’s not that I am not cooking, but that I don’t have the time/energy to write about it. So, I this week I will alternate my own posts with some of my faves from blogging friends around the globe. This, from Mad Dog TV dinners, is appropriately ghoulish for Halloween!
