Can't wait, smells and looks amazing. Are you.curing/smoking any? It is the best bacon you will ever eat - I buy bellies off the butcher and do a few different cures - When you cook it there is no white water comes out of it at all!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi At my local abattoir it's £45 for kill and butcher into main cuts like hams ribs belly chops etc I had to cut bacon etc and loin off.but if the pig is over 100kg it jumps upto £70. Each Mine were just under 120kg each but I knew him so I didn't have to pay extra. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
