Cassandra Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Popped in last night to pick up some steak (which was fantasic, well hung Manx beef, nothing like what you buy in the supermarket, about a million times better!) Bought fresh (?not frozen anyway) ostrich, kangaroo and crocodile, for a laugh. Surprisingly tasty! And added a bit of interest to our fajitas. Also bought air dried Manx ham - a bit like parma ham, but Manx. Yum. Says he makes his own sausages (not tried), and the pies (I've had previously) are fantabulous. AND he said he would order in some veal bones so I can make my own stock - I can't get these anywhere!!!! Supermarkets are cr*p. Long live the independents!!!

Albert Tatlock Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Went to him last summer when we were at a friends for a BBQ - he does pre-prepared assorted cheap BBQ trays that worked out very good value and were very tasty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Nice to see a local retailer actually making an effort. I will be heading up there this weekend now. The pies had better be as fantabulous as you say or I will be reporting you to the OFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cheap'? worked out at 'good value'? FFS He is frequented by lovers of excellent meat, and the well-to-do, a lot more than the local dross. Very friendly bloke and well worth the visit even if you only buy something 'cheap'. Wot a snob - that's no way to talk about the people at Farmhill. .

immortalpuppet Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The question is are his pies as good as the Onchan butchers pies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyconcrete Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Has anyone tried these Roasted Marrow bones I seem to remember reading about in another thread? I'm 99% sure my missus won't let me within 100m of the house with them, but I'm intrigued. I Google'd them and they seem to feature on a few restaurant menus.

Stavros Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Scoop out marrow and spread on toast and I thought Marmite on toast was bad but I don't fancy that for breakfast either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
