I want to tell this story... At night when I can't sleep (which is most nights 😆😆), I research the history of bacon curing. I read about Liebig who named nitrate and nitrites and wrote that salt itself does not preserve. Its value in meat curing is that it reduces moisture, binds water and solubilise proteins. On the other hand, he saw the value of albumen. The protein-rich exudate from meat and created his own meat extract in the town of Fray Bentos. We discussed the challenge William Oake faced related to colour formation in ham and the choice we have to make between the most nutritiois and the best colour.
Wow, what a great day we had with the kids in celebration of La'tjies B day! Liam Venter, Tristan van Tonder, Lauren van Tonder, Luani Venter, Minette Bylsma, Shannon Hounsell, Luanie - what a morning!!
Hapy B Day specialist girl-child! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Insane India Hike with two amazing people. I thought I would show them something spectacular. Instead of giving them a gift, they gave us an extraordinary gift in sharing their life story with Lauren and me with their wisdom, patience and fantastic humanity. Wow! A completely unexpected impactful experience on every level!
Zero nitrites added. Tastes absolutely delicious! Richard Bosman made it from bits of leftovers from trials we did before Christmas.
