Modern Day Hunter Gatherer Part 2.
I have been working all past weekend and eaten all my fresh supplies of meat (the freezer does have has a bit of a bulge, but hey winter is walking down the avenue here in the UK and working and hunting can clash with one or the other and either can become scarce at times, keep that freezer full if you can).
Today I had no work on, (that I wanted to do and can’t do tomorrow or later anyway).
So I went hunting, nightmare, not a yellow target sticker (reduced price item) on any animal at any of my usual hunting grounds, The Forests of Tesco, the Wild Open Plains of Morrisons, or the Fields of Sainsbury’s, Aldi etc.
Could be that many thousands have read my Modern Hunter Gatherer post on this magnificent Forum and been copied on the likes of Zero Carb Reddit, Only kidding.
Panic, fortunately my ancestral hunter-gatherers DNA kicked in. “Butchers”.
So I went to one of my local butchers, whose meat I suppose is maybe superior ?, I am not so sure, but certainly more expensive. But I did have a plan. ( Hunter Gatherer DNA)
I first bought a Rib-Eye Steak, I then bought some Minced Beef, highest fat and cheapest they had.
I then engaged the butcher in a conversation on a Carnivore Diet, which he was not familiar with. ( I myself over 2 months ZC/Carnivore Diet.)
And asked him for some beef fat off cuttings so to speak. So I could make my meat even fattier. Of course I was willing to pay.
The butcher looking quite surprised, went to the back of his shop and returned with a massive pile of beef fat trimmings. And there was no charge for this gold.
I was just trying the get those said beef fat trimmings. My body had a craving for them. But I did not want to walk into the man’s shop and say, “how much do want for the crap you are going to throw to the pigs” ?. )
The beef fat timings, free of charge. I cooked on a slow heat got all the fats browned and the plenty of meat that was in them and then added the mince meat. Result Magnificent.
I shall save the rib eye for another magnificent day.
Lesson for today, go ask your butcher for that gold. He may just gift it to you.
But do tempt him with a sale. I think that’s very much part of the Hunter Plan, commonly known as Bait.
Nameste, both butcher and animals.
