| Gavin and lamb 171 |
I have made a delicious discovery… Hidden away in the
beautiful Dordogne countryside there is a couple who have set up a sheep
farm. They have 200 – 300 sheep, some of
them hand reared, and their own butchery.
From here they butcher their own lamb (no question of provenance) and they
make their own sausages from locally sourced free range pork.
We made a visit their last week (dodging the showers) and
came away with sausages, bacon and a shoulder of lamb. The sausages are made to a secret English
recipe and come in a range of flavours – so far I’ve only tasted the breakfast
sausages, and I’ll be back for more. If
you like English sausages, you need look no further.

cover their costs. I have her brother and
they asked me if I knew anybody who might like her.
