What is wrong with that guy? Retarded!
Obviously hates the “Gordon” moniker judging by the pre-shave sneer.
My grandfather had a huge experience in #pork dish #cooking but this guy is
also an expert. They just missed the right kind of dark beer for the sauce.
In #Bulgaria and #Serbia (I think also in #Romaina ) people use pig’s heads
and legs to prepare a delicious soup called “pacha”.Old fergy is a tad off the wall but seems like a jolly nice chap….
didnt even realise he had parkinsons till i wathced this, at 32 same age as
me, scary!!! To be honest the fact that they ignore the effects of the
disease as if there is nothing wrong simply makes it MORE obvious that
there is something wrong.@PoppyMonsterMunch – I don’t think that the brains are part of the dish.
I’ve never yet cooked a pig’s head, but I have done Fergus Henderson’s
recipe for confit pig’s cheek, and it is absolutely delicious. You salt a
couple of pig’s cheeks (huge slabs of skin, fat and flesh) overnight, then
you cook them gently in goose or duck or pork fat for a few hours until
they’re tender. Then you let them cool in the fat, and when you finally
want to eat them, you extract them and roast them and serve them with a
sharp salad. It’s incredible. He is a genius.Genius!
mmmmmmmmm, pigs head is good eatin’. (so is pig heart, well hell any heart
of any animal really, well seasoned, served like a steak with palenta and
green beans or chunked and served in the style of a taco or burrito)Obviously not worried about swine encephalitis then. Don’t eat brains
people.That chef is an interesting cat
@tishdeveling @lexo30 yeah, he’s weird because he EATS PIG BRAINS!!!!
HTH…I found this on wikipedia “His stoic approach to Parkinson’s Disease
which was diagnosed in 1996 increased the regard in which he was held and
he was awarded an MBE by HM The Queen in 2005. The same year he underwent
innovative Deep Brain Stimulation which vastly improved his mobility and he
has since become a symbol of hope to other sufferers. He now uses his
considerable influence on the now affluent British Art Scene to raise money
for Parkinson’s charities.”@NilDesperandum777 There are two restaurants, the original St.John and
St.John Bread and Wine. I’ve eaten at both, and the bread they make is just
sensational. I’m a keen baker but I can’t do what they do. I haven’t had
the bone marrow, parsley and toast … yet. It wasn’t on the menu the time
I went. I’m having it next time I go. Restaurants are one of the toughest
businesses to run successfully, it is a complete lifestyle choice if you go
into it.. Are you from UK or abroad?if i was a dead animal i’d want fergus to cook my head
