Sadly, Bucks Bacon Badger is just bacon mixed with potato, onion, sage, and pepper and boiled in a suet pastry coating. No sculpting or potato-piping skills required, just lots of boiling.

Funny Name: Not Sculpted Edition
When I saw the name of this recipe from Traditional British Cooking for Pleasure (Gladys Mann, 1967), I really, really hoped it was going to be a funny little animal sculpted out of bacon, maybe with some whipped potato features piped on. (Who can resist a stripey potato face?)

At first I thought this was going to be like a Cornish pasty (like they serve in certain parts of the badger state), but then they boiled it. Pastys are made with meat inside a folded round of pastry, then baked, not boiled.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted it to be a cute craft project.
