ARTIST AND BUTCHER ARE CHICKEN ABOUT SKIN

Butchers unusual artwork orderPublished: (29-07-2008)

A Bristol halal butcher has received an unusual order - 3,000 chicken skins.

Artist Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva has placed her order with Pak Butchers of Easton for an exhibition she is holding in London.

The skins will be cleaned, dried, dipped in preserving chemicals and then stitched together into a 12-metre by five-metre wall hanging.

Artist Elpida commented: “I was really pleased to find a butcher willing to provide me with enough chicken skins. I’m picking them up from the shop once a week and have now got about 800 sewn together.”

Pak Butchers, owned by city councillor Abdul Malik, is also pleased to supply the skins - but is warning that, even with a busy butcher’s outlet, it will still take some weeks to provide all the 3,000 skins.

BUFFALO GRILL WON'T YA COME OUT TONIGHT

Laurie's Cooking Tip:"Low and Slow is the Way to Go!"
Buffalo meat is lower in fat than beef; therefore, it cooks faster than beef and can become dry if over cooked. That's why it's important to always remember "Low and slow is the way to go!" As a general rule, buffalo should be cooked about 50 degrees lower than beef, but for the same amount of time. Also, buffalo meat is best when cooked from rare to medium. Never cook directly in a flame. The Buffalo Guys Buffalo Meat can be substituted in ANY recipe that calls for beef. You'll love cooking with our buffalo meat and you'll love the taste!
Happy Cooking!
