Supreme Champion Prime Lambs Available for Christmas at Huntley's



Supreme championship-winning prime lambs will be on the festive menu during Christmas week at Huntley's Country Stores in Samlesbury, near Preston, Lancashire.

Tom Wood, head butcher at Huntley's, beat off all-comers to snap up the title-winning trio of Beltex prime lambs at Skipton's Auction Mart's high profile 2015 Christmas primestock show. They were shown by the Brown family, from Leyburn in North Yorkshire.

Tom paid £500 for each of the victors, top price by a long chalk. The fact that a top-quality prime lamb sells for around £100 in a normal market illustrated just how keen he is to source the best meat that money can buy for his customers' festive tables.

He said: “We have some top-notch festive lamb roasts, as well as Pavé of Lamb,which are mini leg roasts, and Lamb Noisettes, also from the leg of lamb. Boned and rolled legs of lamb are also on our Christmas menu. Absolutely nothing will go to waste.

“Our customers mean a lot to us and they deserve something really special at this extra-special time of the year.”

Tom joined Huntley's two years ago and this year was one of only six leading butchers from across the country to be chosen to represent Team GB in the Tri-Nations Butchers Challenge against teams from Australia and New Zealand, hosted by the latter.

He was picked for the team on the back of his all-round butchery skills. Tom was brought up on a farm and learned the trade from a young age through his father's wholesale butchery business. He regularly attends livestock shows to increase his knowledge and performs live cutting demonstrations.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
