good brawn is hard to find in Canberra?

Love brawn and have the same trouble getting any here at all these days. mum used to make ours from left over meats probably after a big Christmas, not from scratch like the recipes on earlier link. I have this recipe it’s dated 1958 – think of it more as a ‘terrine’ and anyone would enjoy it 😉

Don’t know about brawn, but there is a deli at the belco markets MrsKaos prefers to go to for metwurst and other “rare” or hard to get meats such as this, if they don’t have it they may be able to source some for you.

Maybe you could give the Harmonie German Club a call and ask? Good brawn is much appreciated in Germany, Holland and Belgium. Agree that a lot of the mass produced stuff is awful. My olds make their own – yum!

Brawn is one of those disgraceful dishes that poms who won’t let go of WW2 times eat.

no trevar, aussie as…

ta trix, can of course make it myself – astrodad has recipe of course. but made in bulk is best way to get the gelatinous goodies working and i don’t have the facilities to make – then eat – that much…

I thought “scummy offcuts set in industrial strength gelatin” was the proper definition of brawn.

Astrojax, are you English?

I’ve never thought you could buy at all. Everyone I knew who ate the ‘orrible stuff cooked it up themselves. It’s not hard – you just throw everything in a pot and boil the s*** out of it.

This is the day of buying everything “ready-made” and frozen. I just wonder what the occasion is that someone needs “brawn” anyway?
