a golden calf

Well Mr Edge the organic butcher who has been supplying me with all my bones for £1.00 a bag has done me proud. A calf's head for a fiver.........He is not allowed to deal with cow's heads ....I'm assuming due to BSE risks.... but a calf is ok.....

So difficult to prepare......eyes, nose, lips, hair on top of head..... all still in place and requiring removal......

I felt more repulsion than ambivalence towards the prospect of this.....Surprisingly it wasn't the eyes that caused me most problems ....they proved incredibly robust and tough to remove and resulted in a straight physical battle between me and the calf. It was the lips......they were soft and vulnerable........

Someone must be doing this all the time!
