Sweet-Talking the Butcher

...but still no freebies!!! ;-) Just kidding. But it did get these lovelies for a pound or so. I know it is a bit unorthodox to mix the animals, but I am in experimentation mode.

Shin of beef and pig trotters

I roasted them for about an hour, together with vegetables, then plonked it all into my pressure cooker. Hoping for some awesome stock, we shall see!

I had a taste of the marrow after roasting. I believe it was the first time I've ever had marrow (knowingly) and it was rather tasty, if very fatty. I will just have to get over the initial ickyness of eating the insides of an animal's bones...
