Hello friends family and acquaintances today is NATIONAL WHOLE HOG BARBECUE DAY | Third Saturday in October! The third Saturday in October is National Whole Hog Barbecue Day and we invite you to indulge in one of the South's most revered traditions. Wood smoke and smoldering charcoal are a sign of the season. Traditionally cooked over wood and charcoal, whole-hog barbecue uses the whole pig, everything from the nose to the tail. Every year, pitmasters and barbecue lovers from all over the Southeast celebrate National Whole Hog Barbecue Day coinciding with North Carolina’s historic State Fair in October. The tradition of whole-hog barbecue started in Eastern North Carolina and dates back over 350 years to the first settlers in the region. Although barbecue lovers may disagree on the best type of barbecue sauce for their pork, everyone agrees that vinegar-based chopped whole-hog barbecue is where it all began. Smoking a whole hog takes anywhere between 10-12 hours, and requires attention to keep it smoky and cooking at a consistently low temperature. As long as you have a pit, hard-wood charcoal with oak or hickory, plenty of time and something brown to drink, you can create this delicious Southern delight. Whether you have a homemade brick pit or a custom-made steel fire box, the trick is to keep the cooking temperature steady and low. However you decide to smoke your hog, extra help is always appreciated to do the heavy lifting, including flipping the pig a few hours into the cooking process. Seasoning your whole hog depends on your preferences. But traditionalists will lightly salt the pig before cooking, and after flipping use their own special blend of vinegar-based sauce with salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Many pitmasters use plenty of sauce throughout the cooking process to keep the hog moist and juicy as the hog renders down in the last few hours of cooking. The more the better! #WholeHogBarbecueDay #dallasharristips

Easter is coming! And it is never too early to start planning your lamby creations. I know parts of the world have Mother’s Day first - don’t worry Australia, that isn’t us, ours is still in May - but you can bet butchers around the world will have already turned their eye to the Easter crowd. Lamb is a traditional meat to eat around this time, but don’t worry if you’re concerned about the costs, I know lamb is usually a pricier protein in some countries, as there are some good ways you can get lamb on your party plate without breaking the bank or needing a whole leg. One of the most economical ways to eat lamb is mince - you can easily shape lamb mince into burgers or kofta with some awesome herbs and spices - they’re always crowd pleasers, right? Or try and source some lamb riblets which are great to slow cook then throw on the middle of the table for everyone to share, and also don’t forget lamb neck which is great in a show stopping stew, or if you cut it into small strips or chunks, you can actually throw it on a skewer and flash grill for a really tasty kebab. The possibilities might not be endless, but there is enough there I think to get your creative juices flowing if you’re looking to keep the costs down over the Easter holidays! #ButcherGIrlAlison #Winner #EasterVibes #AustralianLamb #Prizes #AussieLamb #LambLovers #ButchersOfInstagram #InItToWinIt #ButcherIdeas #ButcherLife #SupportButchers #MeatLovers #Meaty #PrizedMeat #ButchersBox #Butchery #LambHeaven

What does the phrase 'a different kettle of fish' mean? This odd kettle is used to describe something that is completely different from something else that is being discussed. It’s thought to come from the British tradition of outdoor fish fries. A kettle is a large utensil in which the fish were fried at picnics and I suppose that, depending on the fish that had been caught, what you got in one batch of fried fish could be quite different from another.   Example Sentences "We can all sing in the shower, but performing on stage? Now, that’s a different kettle of fish!" "Sure, I can cook pasta, but ask me to bake a cake, and we're looking at a different kettle of fish." "The new proposal is quite a different kettle of fish from the last one." #TheEnglishNut #idioms #EnglishLesson
