Oh, packet! I love cooking, but scratch-made is far too much effort for the sake of £1.50Did you use an extruder or is this packet spatzle?

Thats wild! Cant say i have ever had meat that well aged.We sent this Belted Galloway steer to slaughter on the 7th March, this was the last rib joint that has now been hanging in our chiller for 214 days. This is the longest we've ever aged our beef. It was exceptional, such a rich and complex flavour, more like a cecina than fresh beef.
10/10, would recommend.

I have eaten Dexter, yes. We taste tested a large range of breeds before we bought our first cattle. We concluded that the breed affects confirmation and marbling but doesn't have a huge impact on beef flavour. I've had amazing Limousin beef and flavourless Longhorn. Age at slaughter, feed, finishing and hanging are more important in my experience.Thats wild! Cant say i have ever had meat that well aged.
Have you ever had Dexter cattle ?
It may be the best beef I have ever had.

We once travelled to a restaurant in Cumbria specifically because they were serving 300 day aged beef.![]()
That depends on how large a piece of meat you are hanging. A one rib joint would be dessicated by now, a whole loin would have the flavour and tenderness benefits but with far less moisture loss.How much moisture is even left after ageing for so long?
Could you kindly post the recipe please and where you buy your spatzle ? Would love to try this dish.Oh, packet! I love cooking, but scratch-made is far too much effort for the sake of £1.50![]()
Of course.Could you kindly post the recipe please and where you buy your spatzle ? Would love to try this dish.
Lidl Spätzle is ok, homemade better, but the Semmelknödel is king for soaking up a good goulash!Of course.
Brown a couple of chopped onions in lard (or duck fat), then add some thickly-sliced bacon chunks and the venison. Cook for ten minutes, then add 3 large garlic cloves, a 1/2 tsp of crushed caraway seed, same of black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of the best paprika you can find. Chop a half dozen large tomatoes and add them, plus a couple of chopped sweet red peppers, then add cold water until it comes halfway up the mix. It doesn't want to be too loose. Chuck in a couple of bay leaves, and simmer until tender
The Spatzle comes in dried form from the likes of Lidl or Aldi.

It’s not that hard to make - most of the work is done by the food processor and if you have a spätzle extruder then the cooking process takes minutes.Oh, packet! I love cooking, but scratch-made is far too much effort for the sake of £1.50![]()
I like to eat them, when ripe
