Beef Jerky
My first attempt. A spice mix of dried hogweed seeds, hawthorns, lime (tree) leaves and roasted hay, all toasted and ground, along with an Indonesian long peppercorn. Next, a piece of 50+ day aged Dexter sirloin from Nathan Mill’s brand new shop The ButcherySE23. The beef that Nathan sources and ages is better than any other beef I have ever eaten, and it actually smelled like it was cooked already - deeply savoury and with the aroma of lactic bacteria.
I nearly scrapped the test in favour of eating it straight away. I am curing the slices with the spice mixture, salt and sugar for 24 hours, then I’ll dehydrate them at 60C

A tandoor-roasted sheep’s head, served by Anissa Helou and Stevie Parle at their nose-to-tail dinner at The Dock Kitchen on 8th May, 2012. We ate the eyeballs, then the cheeks, then the brains, then the tongue, with lemons, salt and aleppo pepper to dip the bits into.
