The slaughter is quick and efficient. As you say it is great to know where your food comes from especially these days where so many practices and processing techniques are questionable. Thanks for the feedback on the blog.Ian and Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821746193241943684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20649132.post-54980819532590525212011-03-12T06:02:35.576+01:002011-03-12T06:02:35.576+01:00Thanks for sharing the matanza process.

My husband is from Avilés - a city boy- so unfortunately I have not had the chance to experience a matanza in Spain. (I butchered plenty of chickens in the US as a teen, though!) I appreciate knowing where my food comes from and nothing seems more natural than this. It's been a while since I visited and I love the blog design.globalgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938829676500726043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20649132.post-23292605252531304692011-02-27T18:50:22.022+01:002011-02-27T18:50:22.022+01:00Lovely blog entry, tempting to eat meat!Lovely blog entry, tempting to eat meat!Nigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20649132.post-51126882141086429372011-02-27T11:09:52.940+01:002011-02-27T11:09:52.940+01:00Hi Froogs - thanks for the comment.

Some of the other offal is made into a different kind of chorizo and anything that is left is for the dogs. The fat is rendered down and made into household soap. Love you blog, how about a reciprocal link?Ian and Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821746193241943684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20649132.post-28282005111823576332011-02-26T14:12:18.946+01:002011-02-26T14:12:18.946+01:00Lovely blog!
