Did we actually hear how Adam disposed of the hide and guts?
How did Brian use to get rid of his deer before wonderboy

How are they planning to actually sell the end product.

I questioned a month or two back what the other tenants of the
industrial units would say when confronted by dead deer being
carted around the car park.
I confess to being one of those townies who would prefer to
believe that meat comes from supermarkets <g>

Good question. I can't imagine whoever he sells most of them to being
willing to transport them live.

IIRC Adam believes he has spotted a niche in the local Farmers' markets.

I've been looking for a niche for a while myself. I'll see if I can get
one at the next Wrecsam Farmers' Market.

That was only the hide, wasn't it? Anyway, they'd still have
to dispose of it. I don't suppose he wanted it.

Ah yes, heard about that tonight. And they are having to lay out
on a chill counter (do they carry this to market each time? -
must be hard work). Got to sell a lot to recoup this. If you cost
their time, I wonder if it's really profitable. More profitable than
not selling any deer, I suppose, which is what Brian seems to have
been doing up till now.

I don't think all the deer will go the farmers' market way but I suppose that
they think it worthwhile to get a premium by selling it on themselves. Of course
they could hedge their exposure to the vagaries of any particular Farmers'
market by agreeing to sell any/all unsold to Gay Grables at an agreed price.
I'm surprised they didn't ask Jean-Paul for advice on the butchering style.

I wonder how long they are planning to hang the meat. If Adam is off to
sell some this weekend I will be disappointed.

I wondered about that. I thought deer had to hang for ages until it
was rotten before you ate it.

Slightly different, but The Food Programme was talking about this
sort of thing recently. Apparently, Jamie Oliver has persuaded
Sainsburys to hang their meat (beef I think) for 21 days (at least
in what I presume is their more expensive range). He'd have liked
28, but is happy to have got 21. The usual is 3 I think, these days.

Very good question and surely the carcasses were not allowed to hang long
enough?

Not at all, I'd say.
Not sure how long is long enough, but would hazard a guess that as
venison is game it should be hung a bit longer than been and therefore
at the very least 28 days for a decent joint, I would have thought.
Good opportunity there for a bit of Education of the Public (very much
in TA tradition) I'd have thought, putting across how important a good
hang is. (Over to you, Brritski.)

As mentioned here a few weeks ago, Jamie Oliver told the Food Programme
he had wanted Sainsburys to hang their beef for 28 days. They only
agreed to 21, but he thought that was a good start. So, you'd expect
game to be longer, I would have thought.
Bear
This is all IIRC, but I *think* game tends to be hung at room
temperature or at the very least stone larder temperature, whereas
supermarket beef tends to be chilled when hung, which I would have
thought would affect things hugely; so 7 days, say, at room temperature
would be far more "gamey" than 28 days in a chiller.
I could be hugely wrong though.

Sainsburys in Kidlington had a load of this reduced to half-price last
weekend, so my freezer is full.

I've just come across these posts, having been away for a couple of
weeks (1). I hope that will excuse a mini-Gilliver. (2)
While I was away I read The Odyssey again and was amazed at the number
of times a guest (usually Od himself) would roll up out of the blue
and the host would instantly butcher a few beasts, roast them and
serve them up for consumption. They must have been as tough as
boot-leather.

1. Italy, for the opera (excellent, apart from a fatuous error of
astronomy on the part of the director of La Boheme). The weather was
even worse than here, since although the daytime temperatures may only
(!) have reached 38 or so, the night temperatures rarely fell below
25.
2. Not sure about the scale here. JG sometimes puts a post in several
months after the major contributions appeared.

Did Special Effects for one Fantasy play at the theatre which had been
written by one of our actors.
I argued much and more with him about the line "I have visited one planet
which is in permenant darkness because it has a multitude of suns even to
the extent of buying him a copy of "Nightfall"
That was the one where I was told "Bernard we need two rocks for the next
scene. . . . One levitates and the other explodes"

i can't even think how astronomy could affect boheme (accent omitted
since neither of us can remember whether it's acute or grave[*]).

we went to a performance of lampe's "pyramus and thisbe" last night
(words "after shakespeare"). the first singer to come on stage
(walking up the aisle) was the wall. a wall dressed as a wall, but
with so many effects about his person that it was hard not to start
the performance with a shout of laughter.
he had a cat sleeping on his shoulder (that he could animate by
pulling its tail), he had a spade leaning up against one side of him,
he had an ornamental vase of flowers on his head and rambling roses
all over him, that the "producer" of the opera-within-an-opera felt
the need to water, and his suit was such that he could shrug his
shoulders in such a way that his head (and brick-coloured face) almost
disappeared.
the same actor got completely re-made-up and reappeared later as the
moon on a scooter (the producer had to "explain" to his "audience"
that his little lamp didn't _need_ a candle). this time he got his
laughs by his acting (including the most ineffably silly grin, and
gliding back and forth over the stage on his scooter in a completely
improbable way, for a moon, as well as getting in the way of the other
singers).

My only worry is that a scooter's speed might not be constant enough.
But the metaphor's fine. I remember standing by a Clerkenwell bus stop
one dark evening when a Sinclair C5 slowly transited in front of us. The
silent motion of its light reminded me instantly of my first sight of
Sputnik 3 passing overhead many years before.

I blame anglicised mis-Frenchified pronunciations -- like saying Dégas
when we mean Degas. (I hope I'm not wrong on this last one, though I
feel very alone; I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce it
without a quasi-acute accent.)
While I'm here, sumrats may like to know that over on uk.finance and
uk.legal there's a proponent of Feng Shui being very educative.
I've also just found out that the Bluetooth (wireless) protocol contains
a state known as 'Sniff mode'. It's when a device is trying to
find a like soul to communicate with. I'm thinking that some studied
redeconstructing of Mrs S. may be in order.

Are you sure you're not getting confused by Toulouse Le Track? Or
possibly Whistler's Motor? And of course, being such an expensive
pastime, everybody knows you need sponsors putting in plenty of Monet.
In truck racing, of course, old Vincent Van Go does very well.

Well, if you insist. (It may go on a bit)
The stage, which is very large at Torre de Lago, was backed
with a large screen in the form of an artist's canvas mounted upon its
easel. Upon this screen were projected images to help with the
atmosphere. In Act One there were images taken from well known
paintings (a Picasso self-portarit; a Modigliani nude) and later, the
snow covered roofs (1) of Paris. So far, so acceptable, though the
constant changing of the images tended to distract from the action on
stage.
In Act Four the roofs re-appeared and gradually faded and were
replaced by a representation of the sky. A pale disc appeared in the
top right hand corner of the screen. Probably the sun, I thought, to
cover the stage direction requiring a ray of sunlight to strike Mimi's
face as she lies on the divan.
The "sun" then began to move slowly across the screen and
down. This was a plonking symbol of either Mimi's life or the love
between her and Rodolpho, (2) because when it reached the horizon, it
became the upper lobe of a lop-sided heart. Then it set completely as
Mimi died.
So what? I hear you ask. (3) Well I was personally affronted
by the fact that the "sun" moved to the left. In Paris, I can assure
you, the sun appears to move to the right.

I'm very short sighted. My shades (at great expense) are like this -
the outer surface is almost flat, to get a suitable lens to fit into
the frame.
It's weird. People _do_ notice this. Lots of people ask me "Is there
something wrong with your glasses ?" or "Are they just dummy lenses ?"

What used to get me was the practise of older actors who would put on
glasses to read a line in , say, a letter
then snatch them off and comment on the line they had read then replace them
to read the next bit but always snatching them off before looking up and
informing the rest of the cast of further reading

That was the trademark idiosyncracy of my headmaster who was born c. 1900. He
even used to do it when singing bass solos. Perhaps it was a age thing?

I tend to do something very similar myself if alternately reading and
talking to people. The reason being that with my current reading
glasses on, I cannot focus on anything further than a few inches from my
face and I don't feel comfortable talking to someone if they are out of
focus.
