Mushroom, mushroom! Snake!

I had a good Badger Stew recipe ready too;

To cook one badger you’ll need:

1 badger
1 glass of pig’s blood
1 small glass of armagnac
1 ginger root
1 bottle of dry, sparkling white wine
2 eggs
1 pot of crème fraîche
salt and pepper
500g forest mushrooms OR chestnuts to accompany
100g butter
oil

Eviscerate and skin your badger, and soak it in a fast-flowing river for at least 48 hours. This will help you to de-grease it more easily.

Once the badger is de-greased, cut it into pieces and brown it in a frying pan with butter. When the pieces are golden and stiff, flambée with the armanac, season and add a grated soup-spoon of ginger, fresh if possible.

Pour over the wine, and simmer gently for at least two hours.

At the end of the cooking time, mix the chopped badger liver (cooked beforehand in a little oil), the glass of blood, two egg yolks, a coffee-spoon of ginger and the crème fraîche, and pour into the cooking dish. Serve immediately.

This dish goes well with wild mushrooms or chestnuts.

Eviscerate and skin your badger, and soak it in a fast-flowing river for at least 48 hours.

shirley any cattle downstream will catch TB?

Mushroom, mushroom! Snake!

That was my first thought, too. (-:

Pick a Badger that’s had his BCG?

I thought we’d agreed that you’d be better off not de-greasing it as it removes all the factory lube?

It’s the urbanisation of the countryside that makes the badger tracking so hard…

As a badger I can say this is very welcome news. My wife and I are delighted.

from the bbc comments made me smile. the omnishambles rumbles on.

Bring it, say badgers.

I couldn’t give a toss about badgers.

I couldn’t give a toss about badgers.

I suspect they view you with profound indifference too.

I’ve not seen the evidence either way, but I’ve heard fairly conclusive arguments from both sides. I’m not entirely sure how knocking out 80% of the population reduces the incidence of disease, other than removing overlapping territories and hoping sets with the disease die out alone guess. Still seems rather drastic and draconian.

Badgers

I’m not sure that this issue is simply black and white
