Whack for my Daddy-O, Whack for my Daddy-O, there’s Whiskey in the Jar-O. Fucking awesome song about a Highwayman betrayed by his lover and now butchered by numerous drunken twats on karaoke night.

Eating a nice bit of beef is like a high five for my mouth. A variety of cuts of grilled steak, minced beef chili con carne, Sunday Roast beef and mustard, corned beef sandwiches… from the average to the lavish there’s no mistaking that all beef is beautiful. I’m obviously not on my own with…

TO BRINE OR NOT TO BRINE – THAT IS THE QUESTION
If only Shakespeare had a wood pellet grill I guarantee his writing wouldn’t be half as sombre…. So what the bloody hell is brining I hear you ask and why invest in the bother? Brining is one of those things that takes us back to the Olden Days where the process of submersing meat in…

A FEISTY OLD BIRD
It was like Christmas at the Shack Household recently. Although it was the middle of May and the sun was shining you would well have thought that Santa had actually squeezed his fat arse down our chimney to see Mrs Shack’s expression when she laid eyes on the Ginger Pig box waiting for her on…
