Drying Meat in Hastings

Jackie is one of my oldest friends and we go back some 25 years where we shared a couple of digs together in Bristol during my undergrad years. A vegetarian for many years i was converted me for more than 7 years. She has been with Dave for 20 years now, and i love him to pieces. He is full of quality stories and is always excellent company.

Dave is from Finland and is very much a meat-eater. He has turned both their shared kitchen and garden in Hastings into a meat factory. He started making his own sausages, but his piece de resistance is his cold-dried salted leg of pork. He has never done this before and researched techniques on The Internet.

Keep up with Dave´s adventures by following him on Twitter.
