Ready-to-Eat Meats and Health Concerns: Balancing Convenience with Nutritional Value

Many things are included in the category of ready-to-eat meat products. Beef jerky, salami, smoked deli meats, and pepperoni are a few examples. Given that consumers typically do not prepare these items any further, their food safety is especially crucial.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The term "ready-to-eat" (RTE) refers to a class of food products that have been cleaned, cooked, and mostly packaged before being made available for consumption without further preparation or cooking.

“RTE foods should be in an edible form without requiring any preparation, as per the 2009 US Food Code (FDA, 2009)”.

Foods in this category typically include raw animal ingredients like eggs, fish, meat, poultry, and ratites. These foods must be cooked to allow the lowest internal temperature to reach a minimum holding temperature for a minimum holding time during manufacturing to destroy microorganisms that pose a threat to public health.

1. Lamb: Meat from a young sheep under a year old is referred to as a lamb. While lamb is generally more expensive than other meats, it is also regarded as one of the healthiest since it contains high levels of nutrients. A cast-iron skillet is used to sear a rack of lamb, which is then basted with garlic butter and baked for five minutes at 375 degrees.

2. Goat: Due to its slightly rough muscular makeup, goat is a well-liked ingredient in stews and braises, where a low-and-slow cooking method can best break down the fats and impart flavor to the meat.

3. Chicken: White and dark chicken meat each has different amounts of protein and fat. One of the few cuts of meat that don’t contain saturated fat is boneless, skinless chicken breast. One of life's basic joys is a roast chicken. Order online from Zappfresh & enjoy high-quality, clean, and nutrition-rich ready-to-eat chicken delivered to your doorstep!

4. Turkey: Turkey is a light white meat with a reputation for being challenging to prepare without drying out. It reigns supreme at the holiday table and in the deli meat section. It is a strong contender for the bringing-roasting combo.

5. Seafood: Fish, crabs, and shellfish are all included in the vast and well-liked category of seafood. Because of its high quantities of omega-3, seafood is widely regarded as the finest source of protein for anyone trying to maintain a balanced diet, although the nutritional value of each species varies greatly. Shellfish can be added to spaghetti after being steamed or cleaned fish can be grilled whole and served with a herb salad and preserved lemon.

Are There Any Health Concerns about Ready To Eat Meats?

Like most things, eating too much meat makes it unhealthy. Animal protein offers several advantages when consumed in moderation but has been demonstrated to be particularly dangerous for conditions like heart disease and cancer when consumed in large amounts. Of course, protein, as well as its reserves of vital amino acids and collagen, are its main advantages. The majority of meats are rich in zinc, iron, vitamin B12, B6, and K. The fat level varies depending on the animal and how it was grown, but it is generally minimal. Animals that are healthy and happy will produce leaner, more tender muscle tissue.

Other elements influence whether different types of meat are safe to consume or present a health concern. Products made from overly processed beef may include harmful chemicals and preservatives. Always choose grass-fed meat over grain-fed beef for health reasons. Since eating raw meat can be extremely harmful, each type of meat and animal product has an internal temperature that it should reach by the end of cooking to meet food safety guidelines.

Wrapping Up

Foods made for immediate consumption and requiring little additional processing are referred to as ready-to-eat foods. Most of the time, they are ingested raw or uncooked. 

Beginning with a sincere commitment to providing clients with only the best and high-grade meats supplied directly from nearby farms, Zappfresh started selling ready-to-eat meat to its customers, ensuring unmatched taste and great nutritional value. Our specialization is perfectly sliced, top-quality meats. 

We take great pleasure in our dedication to beef. From the time we purchase the goods until it is cleaned, sliced, and stored until it is ready for delivery, we maintain this temperature.

Guidelines to Sear a Leg of Sheep

Sheep offers a colossal number of benefits, going from food to prepare. If you have a bone-in leg of sheep nearby, make a pass at stewing it for a charming veritable sheep taste. In spite of the way that you might be undermined by this other red meat, there is definitely not an extraordinary clarification to push since you season satisfactorily and cook the sheep impartially. This is the key to setting up a good sheep.

Numerous people oppose cooking since a leg of sheep is slim toward one side and thick at the other, nonetheless, there are two or three hints you can use to help with simplifying this part. Continue to scrutinize to acquire capability with these tips and something different for stewing a leg of sheep.

Ways to cook:

By overseeing and tying your sheep leg, you can propel even more regardless, cooking. Demand that your butcher do this for you, or sort out some way to do it without any other person's assistance.

It will incorporate a couple of troubling advances, for instance, disposing of the hip bone, killing the turned completion of the blade bone (if present), scaling back excess overabundance, pulling away the skin from the outer piece of the leg, wiping out the lymph center and connective tissue from the wrinkle between the two chief bends of meat on the leg, and tying up the leg using twine.

In case you visit a butcher shop and see "semi-boneless leg of sheep" on the menu, it is without a doubt a leg of sheep organized as portrayed beforehand.

Stewing Guide:

Start by setting up your sheep. You can set up some way you like, be that as it may, the most notable seared sheep flavors integrate rosemary, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. These direct trimmings flavor the meat scarcely enough without overpowering the real sheep taste. Feel free to use a few different flavors too, like cayenne pepper, onion powder, oregano, basil, fennel, coriander, curry, and marjoram.

After you season your leg, grant it to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to absorb all of the flavors.

Various recipes for stewed sheep leg direct you to turn your sheep each 20 or 30 minutes. Though this is an alright technique, a more preferred system disposes of turning completely. You can make the cycle more direct by basically starting at a focused energy and finishing at a lower heat.

I really think sheep should have one liver, one unit of sheep meat and one unit of bone each. stabbing a sheep and having it drop NONE of the above is just sad.

CELEBRATING CREATION

You’ve reached a level of skill in bringing projects to life that are worth shouting about. Through a combination of risk-taking, perfect timing, and fearlessly trusting your inner voice, you’ve gone further than you thought you could. Let that pride sink in with the lessons you learned along the way. But for now, revel in the moment.

Reveling is way more fun in a group, so invite some friends to join in. You can get this Yucatán-style lamb shoulder in the oven before they arrive to set yourself up for the ultimate “Oh, this? It was nothing!” host with the most moment. With bay leaves in the mix, you’ll be giving your guests a boost of their own intuitive powers.

MAGICKAL INGREDIENTS: BAY LEAVES, OREGANO, LIME, GARLIC (SEE ALLIUMS), ORANGE, ACHIOTE/ANNATTO, CILANTRO, ONION (SEE ALLIUMS)

YUCATÁN-STYLE LAMB SHOULDER TACOS MAIN—SERVES 8 TO 12

This is an ode to the Yucatán dish of cochinita pibil, but, instead of cochinita (baby pork), we’ll use lamb (baby sheep). We are not going to wrap our meat in banana leaves, either, and because most of us don’t have access to a traditional in-ground Mayan oven called a pib (aka our next backyard project), we’ll braise ours in a boring old home oven.

The hominy component is a real wild card, too. It’s not typical of this Yucatán dish at all, but it adds great texture and a bit of brightness. Now that we think about it, the only thing that’s really cochinita pibil-y about this recipe is the citrus and achiote. But many thanks and a huge shout-out to the people and food culture of the Yucatán for inspiring it.

Serve this dish family-style and let everyone make up their own tacos or bowls.

HOT TIP: IF LAMB AIN’T YOUR THING, SUB IN A 3-POUND BONELESS PORK SHOULDER INSTEAD.

Juice of 6 limes Juice of 2 oranges 1 tablespoon kosher salt ⅓ cup achiote paste 2 heads garlic, halved horizontally 8 sprigs fresh oregano 3 bay leaves 3 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes 1 (25-ounce) can hominy, drained and rinsed

FOR SERVING Pickled red onions, store-bought or homemade (this page) Lime wedges Chopped cilantro Crumbled Cotija cheese Corn tortillas or cooked rice

1. In a large Dutch oven, stir together the lime juice, orange juice, salt, and achiote. Add the garlic, oregano, bay leaves, and lamb and stir until coated. Cover the Dutch oven and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight, stirring occasionally.

2. Preheat the oven to 300°F.

3. Stir the hominy into the Dutch oven, cover, transfer to the oven, and cook until the lamb is tender and easy to pull apart, 3 to 4 hours.

4. Let cool for 15 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the lamb, garlic, and hominy to a bowl. Discard the oregano and bay leaves. When the garlic heads are cool enough to handle, squeeze them into the bowl and evenly coat the lamb with the garlic, shredding and breaking up the lamb as you go. Skim the fat off the liquid remaining in the Dutch oven and spoon the liquid over the lamb. Season with salt as needed.

5. Serve with the pickled onions, lime wedges, cilantro, Cotija, and tortillas or rice.

Cambiare (Geraskier Ficlet)

Cambiare [It.]: To change; i.e. to change to a new instrument, etc. “Do you think you can change the world with your singing?” ----- Read on ao3 or continue reading here Breathless from the long performance, Jaskier flings himself down beside Geralt on the rickety wooden bench. Geralt raises a single eyebrow at him, but he does not protest when Jaskier snags his ale from the table and takes a deep drink.

“Ah,” Jaskier says. “I needed that.”

“Hmm.” Geralt motions to the innkeeper and says, “Two more of those. And some meat.”

“Add that damned peach tart, please,” Jaskier says quickly. “Been smelling it all night. It was absolute torture.”

The innkeeper barks a laugh and nods. “Be right there, sirs.”

Geralt takes out a satchel, coin clinking at the movement. But the innkeeper holds up his hands.

“No, no, on the house. It has been a long while since we had such a performance, and it would be my honour to provide to Geralt of Rivia. It is your doing that the village is finally safe again.”

“Hmm.”

“Thank you,” Jaskier says heartily, flicking Geralt’s thigh under the table.

“Thank you,” Geralt huffs, “for your generosity.”

The innkeeper beams, and scuttles off.

“What a lovely fellow,” Jaskier says, and then finally allows himself to collapse face first on the table, completely boneless and exhausted, but satisfied.

“Do you need a nap?” Geralt asks, wry. It would’ve sounded snarky in any other voice, but Jaskier hears his amusement nonetheless.

Jaskier turns his head so he can give a glare appropriate to the situation. The effect is likely sabotaged by the fact his face is still smushed against the wood.

“For all you mock my trade, you sure can’t deny the constitution it takes to keep a crowd in high spirits for hours on end. I can barely feel my legs.”

“No one forced you to hold court for the whole night.”

“It is what I do, Geralt. You get swallowed by monsters on occasion, I have blisters on my fingers from sheep-gut strings. We all make our sacrifices. But it is worth it, is it not?”

“Hmm.”

Jaskier rolls his eyes. “I might not be saving people, but I do provide some joy and delight. Things in short supply, these days.”

“Is that all?”

“What?”

“You don’t just play songs. You write them. So is that all?”

Jaskier turns his head away again, feeling caught out. “Well if it puts coin in our pockets, and spreads stories of your good deeds, then maybe something more than joy comes out of it. Tonight our actions got us a meal, at least.”

There is a long moment of silence, in which the innkeeper returns with their meal and ale, and Jaskier picks himself up just enough to be able to eat. It is only when the plates are empty that Geralt speaks again.

“Do you think you can change the world with your singing?”

“I— I can change minds. Some minds, about some things. But to change the world, the volume of minds is key, and I don’t know if I ever could reach such heights. So whether my music changes someone’s mind on whether or not they should dance today, or entice them to sing along and drink another ale, is kind of irrelevant. I suppose it depends on your definition of a changed world.”

“Hmm.”

“Is the world not changed by the existence of my songs, in itself? It would be another world without them, wouldn’t it?”

Geralt huffs. “A better one, maybe.”

Jaskier punches him in the shoulder. “I will disregard that comment. But now that I think on it. Have I changed the world by composing a love song -- on commission, of course, --- that leads to a union between two people, and children and a happy life? Another bard could have done the same. Or did I change the world by reminding a lord of an ancient myth through my songs sung on his birthday, leading to a whole army to bear a white stag on their breast— even though the white stag was never in the original myth. I was just missing a syllable.”

“You influenced something, at least.”

“I suppose, though, again, another bard could have done the same. And what does a banner change in the grand scheme of things? Whether his men march under a stag or an owl does not change their actions.”

Jaskier sighs and takes a sip of his ale. “I suppose any bard can provide the same laughter and dance I do, with nary a mind changed. I have been able to affect the world in some ways, change some people’s days and maybe their interests or passing fancies. But whether I changed the world at large? It depends on your definition of change, and personally I think not. I hope I might some day. But I don’t know if I ever will.”

“Hmm,” Geralt says-- disagrees. “You changed mine.”

“Ha. Yes. For the worse, like you said.”

Geralt touches Jaskier’s shoulder for just a moment, as he says, low. “You changed their minds about me.”

There is a momentary silence in which Jaskier loses all ability to think.

Geralt is just watching him with a quiet intensity that Jaskier doesn’t know how to interpret. More so when it seems to… soften, over time.

They both startle when the innkeeper is suddenly at the table, shattering the tension completely.

“You have finished, I see. Everything to your wishes?”

Geralt nods.

“That is good to hear. Thank you again for all you did for us. I hope you pass through again soon. Let me know if you need anything.”

The innkeeper scuttles off with another bright grin, humming something familiar.

Toss a coin to your witcher

Realisation catches in Jaskier’s throat, but with exhaustion on his heels, he can’t formulate much more than ‘oh.’

His rare moment of speechlessness doesn’t seem to faze Geralt, however, because he allows Jaskier to lean on him while walking towards their rooms. As they part, Gerald’s hand lingers for a moment too long on Jaskier’s waist. His gentle touch feels like an unspoken thank you.

And maybe, like something else. Another change in their world.

Jaskier supposes he’ll have to write a song for it.

Effect of Using Garlic on the Economical and Physiological Characteristics of Broiler Chickens

Authored by Ali AL Sharafat

Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the beneficial effects of garlic powder as a phytogenic supplement on broilers chickens’ performance. The assumption that garlic could improve some economic and performance characteristics of broiler chickens (i.e. body weight, feed intake, water intake, feed conversion ratio, feeding cost, carcass yield and mortality rate) was tested. A total of 400 one-day-old chicks of mixed sex (Hybrid) were weighed and randomly assigned to four treatment groups, each with 4 replicate pens of 25 chicks. The dietary treatments included the basal diet (control), control + 2.5 kg /ton Garlic, or control + 5 kg /ton Garlic or 7.5 kg /ton Garlic as powder The results of the study revealed that incorporation of garlic powder in broiler diets as feed additive significantly enhanced growth, economic and productive performance of these chickens. Physiological measurements (body weight, weight gains, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass weight and internal organs) showed better performance of garlic treated chickens compared with control group under same rearing system. The results similarly showed lower susceptibility to diseases and medicament treatment consequently; lower mortality rate compared to control groups. Furthermore, blood and meat analysis showed lower cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL, and, HDL levels compared with control group. The study concluded that Garlic can be effectively used in broilers feeding to replace antibiotic as growth promoter.

Keywords: Garlic powder; Phytogenic supplement; Broilers chickens; Economical characteristics; Physiological Characteristics

Introduction

Feed additives have been widely used in poultry nutrition as a tool of increasing animal productivity [1], improving performance and, health of broiler chickens [2]. Most of the plant parts contain compounds with proven antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal properties and has antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, antithrombotic, antihyperlipidemic, and antiinflammatory and antioxidant activity. Garlic (Allium Sativum) has been found that lower serum and liver cholesterol [3], inhibit bacterial growth [4], inhibit platelet growth and reduce oxidative stress. In pursuit of improved chicken healthiness and in order to fulfill consumer expectations in relation to food quality, poultry producers more and more commonly apply natural feeding supplements, mainly herbs [5].

Feed additives are generally used to improve feed intake and, increase growth rate in broilers [6]. Garlic is a perennial herb with a bulb divided into cloves [7] and belongs to the family Amaryllidaceous and genus Alliums. Garlic has several beneficial effects on both humans and animals having antimicrobial, antioxidant as well as antihypertensive properties [8]. It is widely used in all parts of world as a spice and herbal medicine for prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases ranging from infection to heart diseases. Garlic has several beneficial effects on both humans and animal having antimicrobial, antioxidant properties [9]; antiviral [10]; and antifungal [11]. Garlic is considered as a plant with antibiotic, anticancer, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and cardiovascular- protecting effects. Garlic supplement to broiler feeds has been recognized for its strong stimulating effect on the immune system in addition to its positive effects on digestion in birds due to the very rich aromatic essential content of it [12].

These functions were attributed to the bioactive compounds present in garlic such as alliin, dailylsulphide and allicin [13], which possess antimicrobial activity [14] that could be responsible for the growth promoting effect of garlic. [15] Reported that the best performance was gotten by group of birds fed on diet containing 3% garlic powder and they got the highest feed consumption. Garlic supplementation at 0.25 %in broiler finisher diets enhanced the feed conversion ratio and hence growth rate of the birds and the best performance was attained by the group of birds fed on diet containing 3 % garlic powder had best feed conversion efficiency [16]. Tollba and Hassan [17] reported that garlic improved broiler growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and decreased mortality rate. Onibi et al. [18] reported that powdered garlic at 0.5 %might be incorporated as a growth promoter in the ration of Japanese quails. To the authors knowledge this is the first study carried out to investigate the effect of using garlic in basal diet of broilers on the overall performance, reduce spread of diseases and parasites in poultry cycles.

Therefore, we aimed to examine the effect of adding garlic powder in broiler diet on its productivity and physiological characteristics (i.e. body weight, feed intake, water intake, feed conversion ratio, feeding cost, carcass yield and mortality rate).The results from this experiment will be used for further research studies in layers and other animal species (Turkey or sheep and goats...etc.).

Materials and Methods

The experiment was conducted at Livestock Field Research Station; Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agriculture, at Jerash University/ Jordan.

Animals and dietary treatments

Fourteen hundred one-day-old chicks of mixed sex (Hybrid) were weighed and randomly assigned to each of the four treatment groups, each with 4 replicate pens of 25 chicks. The dietary treatments included the basal diet (control), control + 2.5 kg /ton garlic, or control + 5 kg /ton garlic or 7.5 kg / ton garlic as powder. Basal diet was formulated according to nutrient requirements of broilers provided by National Research Council [19]. Birds were fed a starter diet from day 0 to 21 and grower diet from day 22 to 42. All the dietary treatments were added to the basal diets. Chicks were raised on floor pens (120 cm*120 cmx80 cm) for 6 weeks and had free access to feed and water throughout the entire experimental period. The lighting program consisted of a period of 23 h light and 1 h of darkness. The ambient temperature in experimental house was maintained at 32 °C during the first week and gradually decreased by 3 °C in the second and third weeks, and finally fixed at 22 °C thereafter .

Both groups either control or treatment groups were vaccinated according to vaccination schedule that are used in Jordanian farming under normal rearing system according to the following vaccination program. (d1 and 7: Infectious Bronchi and New Castle, d 14:Gumboro; d 21: New Castle vaccine). During the experimental period no medicaments were offered to the chickens groups either controlled or treated with garlic.

Performance and carcass components

Body weights of birds were determined every week. Feed intake and weight gain were recorded during a 7 d period on a per cage basis and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was calculated. Mortality was recorded as it occurred and was used to adjust the total number of birds to determine the total feed intake per bird and FCR. At 42 d of age, two birds per replicate were randomly chosen, based on the average weight of the group and slaughtered through cutting carotid arteries. Carcasses weights, dressing percentages, carcass cuts that included: wings, back, breast and legs, abdominal fat were weighed. Internal organs (Crop, proventriculus, gizzard, liver, heart, and small intestine) were weighed separately. The length of small intestine and the weight were record. Meat samples from (Breast, leg, liver) after boneless, were separately ground in a meat grinder and samples from each part were used for dry matter, protein and fat determination.

Cecal microbial count and populations, mortality rate, meat sensory quality test, and intestinal lesion scoring were measured also with veterinary specialist. Blood samples were collected after slaughtering of the chickens into heparinized tubes from 8 chicks within treatments deprived of feed for 24 hours at the end of experiment (42 d). Serum were obtained by centrifuge blood at 4000 round per minute for 10 minutes to evaluate s cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, total protein, and albumin.

Statistical Analysis

Data from the randomized design were subjected to an analysis of variance using the MIXED model procedure of SAS. An ANOVA with repeated measures were used. The mean differences among different treatments were separated by Turkey-Kramer test. A level of (P<0.05) was used as the criterion for statistical significance.

Results

Results showed that garlic powder improved bird's body weight. The body weight increases significantly every week with higher rates when garlic powder offered at 5 kg /ton level. Furthermore, using garlic showed earlier effect on body weight at the second week of age (Table 1). The internal organs including the digestive tract and other inedible parts, which form a large part of the weight further, have heavier weight when garlic were offered compared to control group. Carcass weight showed better characteristic of treated chicken with garlic compared with the control group under same rearing system. Feed intake significantly (P<0.05) tended to be higher in the birds that fed on garlic powder diets compared to the control group under same rearing system (Table 2). Increasing body weight resulted in increasing carcass and eviscerated yields at 5 kg /ton of used garlic powder (Table 3). In addition, using garlic powder resulted in increased body weight changes and improved feed conversion ratio compared with control group birds.

Using garlic powder promote small intestine length in compare with control groups and depressed in lesion scores of small intestine and lowering the coccidian eggs account when garlic powder is added to the ration (Table 4). Using garlic in broiler diet reduced the blood cholesterol, Albumin, Triglyceride, and HDL as compared to the standard levels. As shown in the table above, chicken those have garlic in their feeding are with lower cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL, HDL levels compared with control groups (Table 5).

Discussions

Garlic has several beneficial effects on both humans and animals, because it having antimicrobial, antioxidant as well as antihypertensive properties. These functions were attributed to bioactive components present in garlic, one of which is sulphur- containing organic compound known as diakylpolysufides that possess antimicrobial activity that could be responsible for the growth promoting effect of garlic [8] Similar results obtained by a study conducted by Safa et al., [20] that showed, using diet with 3% garlic powder had significantly (P<0.05) heaviest body weight gain, highest feed intake, best feed conversion ratio withhighest dressing and breast percentages. Improved feed intake was noticed in chicks fed with garlic powder compared with the control chicks under same rearing system. This could be attributed, as in the improvement of body weight, to the growth promoting effect of garlic.

Similar results obtained by Elagib et al. [15] who reported that the best performance was attained by the group of birds fed on diet containing 3 % garlic as a powder. Furthermore, Racesi et al. [21] indicated that, diet supplemented with garlic powder at level 1-3% had significantly feed intake compared to the control diet without garlic. Using garlic powder improved feed conversion ratio in this investigation that can be attributed to allicin active ingredients in garlic that promotes the performance of intestinal flora, thereby improving digestion and enhance the utilization of energy. In addition, the better-feed conversion ratio can be attributed to the antibacterial properties of the garlic powder, which resulted in better absorption of the nutrients in the gut and finally leading to improvement in feed conversion ratio. Tollba and Hassan [17] reported that added garlic to broiler ration improved broiler growth and feed conversion ratio (FCR) and decreased mortality rate.

Data presented in table 5 shows that addition of garlic in diet reduced the blood cholesterol, Albumin, Triglyceride and HDL levels compared with standard levels that reflect the possible mechanism of the lowering action of S-allyl cysteine sulfoxide which is found in Garlic. Prasad et al. [22] reported similar findings were total cholesterol, Triglycerides, and LDL was significantly decreased by adding Garlic to broiler ration.

Conclusion

Incorporation of garlic powder in broiler diet as feed additive significantly enhanced growth, economic and productive performance of broiler chicks. Physiological measurements (body weight, weight gains, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass weight and internal organs) showed better characteristic of chicken fed with garlic compared with control group under same rearing system. Our investigation showed lower mortality rate, lower susceptibility to diseases and medicament treatment when we used garlic. Meat and blood characteristics showed lower cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL, HDL levels compared with control group.

It can be concluded that; addition of garlic as growth promoter end in reducing the costs of production through improve feed conversion ratio, weight gain and feeding efficiency of treated groups compared with untreated groups. The economical evaluation of the experimental diets indicated that, the diet with garlic powder showed higher profitability as compared to the control group. Garlic can be effectively used to replace the antibiotic growth promoter in poultry feed.

I have really utilized boneless lamb.

Try not to make it watery

It must be thick.

You can include potatoes.

Cooking time relies upon the nature of meat .

I purchase the thigh partition and keeping in mind that cleaving advise the butcher to hack into chanaboti [small pieces]

Try not to include more water as the meat discharges part of water while cooking.

Rather than pressure cooking the lamb first ,you can do the entire procedure in cooker legitimately.

Should You Broil or Bake Your Food?

Preparing and searing are cooking procedures that utilize the dry warmth of a stove.

Both are viewed as solid approaches to cook and frequently utilized reciprocally with other cooking techniques, for example, broiling and toasting. However, every yield various outcomes and works best on explicit kinds of nourishments.

This article looks at the contrast among searing and preparing, just as which nourishments are more qualified for every strategy.

What is the distinction among searing and heating?

Both searing and preparing utilize the dry warmth of a broiler to cook nourishments, in spite of the fact that they do as such in marginally various manners, yielding various outcomes.

Preparing

Preparing is a cooking technique that encompasses nourishments with sight-seeing to cook them by implication. The term is normally held for nourishments without a steady structure that cements during the cooking procedure, for example, cakes, bread, and biscuits.

Nourishments are regularly heated on the center rack of the broiler at temperatures up to 375℉ (190℃), which gradually cooks within the nourishment without consuming its surface.

Cooking

Searing uses direct broiler warmth to rapidly cook strong nourishments, for example, meat, fish, natural products, and vegetables, at temperatures around 550℉ (289℃).

Nourishments must be put near the grill for the warmth to effectively reach and cook them. Contingent upon your stove, this might be either the top or base rack.

Searing singes the outside of nourishment and works best for cooking dainty nourishments. This strategy can likewise be utilized to add surface to the outside of nourishments that have just been cooked utilizing another technique like preparing.

How would they vary from cooking and toasting?

Preparing and bubbling are regularly utilized conversely with simmering and toasting. Be that as it may, there are slight qualifications between every one of these cooking strategies.

Cooking

Broiling is like heating in that it prepares nourishment by encompassing it with tourist.

All things considered, broiling is ordinarily saved for nourishments that have a strong structure before cooking — like meat, fish, natural products, and vegetables — and includes marginally higher temperatures than preparing.

In addition, nourishments ordinarily stay revealed during simmering, while they might be secured during preparing.

Toasting

Toasting is utilized to dark colored the external surface of nourishments that don't generally require cooking, for example, prepared bread or crude nuts.

You can toast nourishments by quickly setting them under a preheated grill in the stove or presenting them to lower heat for a more drawn out period. For example, you can toast nuts by putting them on the center rack of a stove set to a low cooking temperature.

Both searing and preparing are viewed as sound cooking strategies.

Preparing is an incredible method to limit the loss of supplements that happens during cooking. For example, up to 85% of the omega-3 substance of fish is lost during browning, while just negligible misfortunes happen during heating (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).

Likewise, certain nutrients and minerals seem to debase to a somewhat less degree during heating contrasted and other cooking techniques (3).

In addition, neither searing or heating expect you to include oil during cooking, diminishing the all out fat substance of your dinner.

Not adding fat to nourishments before cooking additionally decreases the arrangement of aldehydes. These poisonous substances, which structure when oil is warmed at high temperatures, may expand the danger of malignant growth and different infections (4).

Be that as it may, while searing limits the arrangement of aldehydes, it might offer ascent to possibly cancer-causing polycyclic fragrant hydrocarbons .

PAHs structure when fat from nourishments contact a hot surface. In this manner, expeditiously expelling meat drippings, cutting abundance fat from meats before searing, and staying away from oil-based marinades are great approaches to confine PAH improvement (5Trusted Source).

Which technique is ideal?

Both preparing and searing utilize dry warmth to cook nourishments, which means they work best with normally damp nourishments.

Nourishments that are best prepared

Heating permits the inside of a generally fluid or semi-fluid nourishment to set while the outside gradually tans.

That is the reason this cooking technique functions admirably for prepared products like bread, cakes, treats, biscuits, and croissants.

Heating is additionally incredible for preparing one-pot suppers, including goulashes, quiches, pot pie, enchiladas, lasagna, and stuffed vegetables.

Cooking is an advantageous option in contrast to flame broiling on a grill. It cooks nourishments rapidly and can be utilized to roast and caramelize them, giving a particular flavor and surface. Searing works best on:

Slight cuts of meat: ordinarily cuts that are under 1.5 inches (4 cm) thick, including rib eye, tenderloin, or T-bone steak, ground meat patties, meat kabobs, sheep hacks, and split boneless chicken or turkey bosoms

Fish filets and fish: swordfish, tilapia, salmon, fish, scallops, shrimp

Delicate organic product: bananas, peaches, grapefruit, pineapple, mango

A few vegetables: pepper strips, tomato parts, onion wedges, summer squash cuts, asparagus

Cooking certain nourishments may make a lot of smoke. To avert this, cut back abundance excess from meats in advance.

Likewise, give close consideration to your nourishments all through the cooking procedure and flip them most of the way to keep them from consuming.

The main concern

Preparing and searing are cooking strategies that utilization the dry warmth of a broiler.

Heating is best utilized for nourishments with a fluid or semi-strong structure that requirements to set during the cooking procedure, while searing is best used to rapidly prepare slight bits of nourishment.

Both cooking methods require just limited quantities of included fats and limit the arrangement of harmful substances contrasted and fricasseeing, making them extraordinary choices for making nutritious, solid suppers.

A Little Trouble

Ivar x reader

Warnings: None really. Reader is a slave in this one.

You were caught. There was no way around it. Leaving your basket in the field when you were suppose to be hanging clothes...

It was stupid of you really. You saw a farmer tending his flock, nothing unusual about that out in the fields along the edges of Kattegat. But one of his dogs that was suppose to be herding the sheep ran off; it looked like a puppy, and the farmer didn't see it run off. You dropped your linens and followed the dog, intending to briefly return him to the farmer. It wouldn't take too long, you thought. Despite your intentions, the dog was gone and by the time you returned, stepping out from the edge of the woods, your heart sunk to your toes.

Ivar, the Queen's youngest son, the most brutal man in Kattegat, was leaning up against the tree the linens hung from. He glanced down at your basket, took his crutch he was previously swinging left and right, and knocked over the basket and the clean clothes into the dirt.

"Oh little slave...what have you been doing?"

"N-nothing, my prince. I was...there was a dog, and I thought-"

"A dog?" Ivar repeated incredulously. He started laughing while you shrunk in your shoes, not wanting to come any closer. But you didn't have a choice; he walked over, leaning to his left onto his crutch, and grasped the back of your neck with his free hand.

"I'm sure my mother will love to hear about your travels..."

So there you were, shivering and standing limply in front of Aslaug. The queen was swirling her ale around in her favorite cup with a bored expression on her face. She was more mild than her sons, who were all staring at you with blank but very interested expressions. Not smiling, not angry...and it scared you all the same. 

"Ivar says you tried to run away. Why?"

"I didn't!"

"So he's a liar?"

You looked at your feet. "I...I tried to save the farmer's dog. He ran off, and I didn't want the man to lose his dog, so I tried bringing him back but...he was too fast."

Aslaug scoffed. "Whimsical little girls...what am I going to do with such a distracted flock of slaves who can't even fulfill one task for the day?"

You felt a fire deep down in your core; you wanted to shout "maybe you shouldn't keep little girls as slaves then" but you valued your life, and you wouldn't refer to yourself as a little girl when you were just past 18. You wouldn't degrade yourself with such a title...but, there were worse titles.

"She's not totally useless mother," Hvitserk shrugged. The way he looked you up and down told you not to take your eyes away from him. One glance in the other direction and he'd pounce. "Keep her in the Hall and she'll be made to do her work."

The hair on the back of your neck stood up. Aslaug sighed. "Well then, y/n, if you can't be competent, you will be staying here in the kitchen."

Ivar licked his lips; your face turned red with how he was staring at you. It was different from his brothers...a little softer. For once, you felt a little more than just fear for Ivar the Boneless...and it built up in a place lower than your chest...

"I think being kept in the house like a pet is good enough," Ubbe shrugged. He gave you a wink and you looked away in shame. "Besides, she can stay for dinner."

Hvitserk huffed a laugh that made you queasy. He drank from his cup greedily. "And dessert."

Ivar stepped up, sauntering over to you as best he could with his crutch and his iron legs. Your face hadn't lost its rosey color before he gave you a little kiss on the forehead. Such a display shocked you, but it made all his brothers grumble in distaste.

"You will be sitting with me," Ivar announced. He was smirking; you knew that look meant trouble, but you couldn't look away.

"She's not yours!" Hvitserk protested.

"Isn't she?"

"Ivar..." Aslaug interjected, stemming the tension rising in the room.

"Mother," Ivar whispered back at his mother in the same tone. She relented and drank from her cup as if she was drinking her words. You lowered your head in respect, like a family argument was something you hadn't seen before, but Ivar raised your chin to make you look at him. And you saw him. His blue eyes, his dark hair pulled away from his face, his soft complexion that did no justice for his hard expression.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you little slave? Unless you'd like to sit with Hvitserk or Ubbe?"

That night you spent in the most comfortable dress you'd ever worn. Maybe the queen let you borrow one of her own, maybe not, you weren't sure since it was another slave who'd brought it to you. But you loved it all the same. It was a luxury.

You spent most of dinner going back and forth from the kitchen, swapping out plates, adding more and more to Hvitserk’s and wondering just how much one man could eat in one night, avoiding Ubbe's greedy hands, cleaning up broken cups...which there was a lot of. You snuck a few berries and things in between, and had just popped another blueberry into your mouth towards the end of supper when you saw Ivar. You swallowed the berry whole, eyes watering at the pain of the lump going down, but you didn't care. No evidence was better. Ivar wiggled a finger at you and you marched over, head turned slightly.

"What was that you had?"

"Nothing my prince, I was...just cleaning up..."

"Such a poor liar you are," he scoffed. Yanking your hand down, you collapsed to the floor next to him where everyone was seated by the fire. You shifted uncomfortably in your seat next to him, his side pressed to yours. "Are you hungry?"

You stayed quiet. This was sometimes a joke the brothers played on dumb slave girls. You weren't one of those. Ivar brought his plate over to you, showing off the meat and fruit and things. You grit your teeth at it and looked at him instead.

"Eat it before I really get angry with you."

You looked more alarmed now at the idea he wasn't lying. Carefully, you took a hand over and snatch a piece of oat bread. He watched you the whole time; you took a sniff of the bread first, and made him laugh. Genuinely laugh. He leaned in, snagging a bite off the loaf from the opposite side of your mouth.

"Not poisoned. See? Now, eat."

You swallowed and returned his little smile.

Baked Chicken – This is chicken that is broiled and     enhanced with masala and flavors. At the point when I was close to     nothing, I considered it the “red chicken”. It gets its unmistakable     shading from the turmeric that it is cooked with.

Shrimp Tikka Masala – same as #1 with the exception     of its shrimp. This one is incredible for the fish darlings. You haven’t     lived until you’ve attempted shrimp prepared with yogurt and flavors with     a smidgen of rice. I suggest getting the very zesty variant for this one     also.

Chicken Biryani – This is chicken blended in with     seared Basmati Rice. You get the meat and the rice in one dinner, and you     can change the zestiness as you would prefer. Add some chutney for a tart     taste!

Meat Curry – Indians curry everything. Meat curry is     perhaps their best endeavor. The curry is thick and tasty, and the meat is     frequently quite delicate. Rice is a positive with this dinner.

Supermarket Tribal

In a land of pissed-off shoppers, is peace even possible?

9.05am

My regular supermarket has changed things around again.

I hate that.

It seems a somewhat tone deaf thing to do in the middle of a pandemic, and as I hurry along what used to be the condiment section, clutching my basket, I see my own emotions echoed in the eyes of the masked shoppers around me; confused, angry, frustrated.

We don’t have time for this.

Cowboys and Kisses is playing as I find washing powder where the activated almonds used to be. I hear myself sigh in that irritated, overloud way I’ve always contributed to crotchety old ladies. Further up the aisle, where the fabric softeners are, an elderly gentleman in a biscuit-brown cardigan pulls out a bottle of Sunny Glow Softener, and his face creases around his mask.

‘This is shit,’ he says.

The words are soft; inner frustration spilling out of his lips. But then he says it louder, almost shouting, and as he does he throws the bottle down the aisle.

‘This is shit!’

I find myself watching, fascinated, as the bottle skids across the blindingly white floor. From somewhere in the next aisle I hear a wail.

‘Where the fudge are the biscuits!’

There’s a few giggles. I think it’s because of the word fudge. My feet quicken as I set off once again. I just want to pay for my groceries and leave.

The next aisle is where I normally get tomato paste. Instead I find greeting cards, and feel my mind slipping.

9.15am

I can’t find anything! I’m only halfway though my shopping list. I want to leave but somewhere between frozen foods and garden supplies I feel myself pulled into a circle of spectators who are watching a tiny old lady berate a store manager. Her finger is pointing at him severely.

‘I think its very bad timing, young man, to do this while we’re all trying to get our shopping done as quickly as we can these days . . .’

Nod. Murmurs of agreement. I hear my voice join the others. The manager is sweating slightly under the bright lights.

‘I’m sorry you feel that way, and I’m happy to help you find the paper serviettes . . .’

‘That’s not the point!’ says a woman who’s joggling a plump baby on her hip. ‘I’m trying to do my weekly shop with a kid, and you’ve swapped everything around!’

‘All I want to do is make a slow cooker casserole, but I can’t find anything!’ says another woman, and promptly bursts into tears. ‘I just want to go home!’

‘If you all take a minute to look at the signs . . .’

‘The signs are useless!’ says a man, stepping forward. He looks like a farmer in his town clothes, perhaps sent in by the wife to pick up some groceries while he’s paying bills. Our city is a regional one, surrounded by wheat belts and sheep. The farmer is angry, calloused hands bunched into fists. ‘You’ve made dog’s breakfast of this. I’ve been in here for half a bloody hour!’

More nods. More voices joining in. And then someone says, ‘You can’t keep doing this! We already spend our money here. Why do you always need more of it?’

I never knew who said it. That quiet voice. Perhaps it doesn’t matter.

‘If you just give me a moment, I’ll find some floor staff to assist you . . .’

But then someone else says it. ‘Why do always you need more?’

I find myself repeating it, along with half the people around me.

The manager takes a step back as it becomes a soft chant.

As one, we take a step forward.

9.23am

The manager puts up a good fight but eventually goes down, arms flailing, mouth open in shock as the old lady whacks him with her walking stick, saying, ‘Its just not good enough, young man!’

He’s curled up in a ball now, begging for his life. Security is coming. I put down my basket and pick up the heaviest thing in it; a tin of Corinthian chocolate wafers. They weren’t on my list, but I was looking for tea towels, and they were there, and I was so tired . . .

As I pulled them from a shelf a worn-out looking mother of twin boys who seemed to be trying to kill each other in her shopping cart whispered, ‘Don’t you see? That’s how they get you.’

The middle-aged man beside me has a can of peas and carrots in each hand. The security guards, two men in vests, hesitate.

Someone hurls a jar of Olay Regenerist Night Cream at the tallest one, and it catches him above the eye. He collapses, boneless, and we’re running now, hurling packaged meat and tinned puddings and scented candles, animal-like screams coming from our mouths as the second guard turns and runs.

9.28am

The surviving security guard has locked the doors and is calling the police. He’s saying it’s not okay to beat up store managers and kill security guards with night cream. But as he makes his speech, his thumbs hooked into his belt, the woman with the still-fighting twins lifts them out of her shopping cart and shoves them at him.

‘Attack!’ she screams, and the twins hurls themselves at the guard’s ankles. Teeth snap. The security guard is dancing around, eyes bulging as he screams.

‘Get them off me! For the love of god, get them off me!’

We don’t.

The twins are wrapped around his legs. He stumbles and falls to the floor. One boy immediately latches onto his ear with tiny teeth. Blood flows and we watch with shiny, embittered eyes. Someone has wrapped a blue and white tea towel around a broom handle. They light it with a Bic lighter and lift it high as police cars scream into the carpark, sirens wailing above the security guard’s cries.

9.48am

The manager is being spit-roasted in the meat section.

Many have surround him in a circle, swaying and chanting, but I find the smell overpowering, so when someone suggests serving him with mint sauce I volunteer to go find some.

The condiment section has been taken over by a handful of shoppers that stop me from entering. But their leader, a sweaty man with chilli sauce smeared across his cheeks, is willing to trade. They want coleslaw, he says. And three hot roast chickens.

Three is a ridiculous number. I point out how many people are locked in here, and he relents.

‘One, then,’ he grunts. ‘But we want cola. And barbecue shapes.’

I make my way back as Cruel Summer begins to play overhead.

The meat section was taken over by those of us who first turned on the staff. The two women behind the counter quickly surrendered and were seemingly eager to become part of our tribe, but unbeknown to me, while I was searching the land for mint sauce, they rebelled and split up into their own sub-tribe. They are now in control of all the roast chickens.

I approach. They’re defensive, hostile. Susan, the older one, tells me they’ll trade for weapons.

‘There’s only two of us,’ she says, as the other woman, Barb, nods in agreement. ‘We need to be able to defend ourselves.’

I hear someone shout, ‘Where’s the bloody mint sauce?’ I know my position in the meat section is tenuous, so I agree.

10.02am

Kitchen utensils have been claimed by an all-male warrior clan.

They’ve scarred themselves with a Wiltshire Staysharp. A slow burning fire fuelled by cardboard packaging heats the blade red hot, and each man draws it across their chest three times.

Those who refuse the ritual are banished to the barren land of plasticware, further up the aisle. They’re mostly younger and weaker males, their future bleak.

Over the fire looms a vaguely human-shaped effigy made from barbecue tongs lashed together with plastic ties. Jamie Oliver’s face peers out from the cover of a recipe book that’s placed on the head of this figure. I watch, fascinated, as their newest member draws the blade across his skin while the others chant, ‘Blood is life! Life is blood!’

I roll my eyes. Jamie Oliver’s smile seems to grow wider.

The farmer is their leader. He looks down at me as I ask for a knife or two.

‘No woman shall wield the weapons of steel!’ he bellows, and from behind him his clan chant, ‘No woman! No woman!’

I try to explain how offensive that is. He doesn’t listen. His arms are crossed over his bare chest, blood dripping. But as he turns away, one of the younger men takes pity on me. He slips me a small paring knife and a recipe book.

‘May our great god Jamieoliver bestow his benevolence upon you, woman,’ he says. It’s the most kindness I’ll get from these cavemen, so I nod my thanks and leave.

10.12am

The rotisserie warriors aren’t happy with me.

One paring knife to defend themselves is pretty poor, given their numbers. Their hostility towards me grows, and I have no choice. I offer to join them. I never belonged in the meat section anyway.

They anoint my forehead with hot chicken juice. It burns, but I try not to flinch. I promise to uphold our territory, with my life if necessary. I’m handed a hot chicken, nestled inside its little plastic carry-bag, and begin my journey.

10.17am

I trade the recipe book for a box of barbeque shapes.

I don’t know why the people of savoury biscuits would want a recipe book. Maybe its because they’re distracted; they’re at war with the other half of the aisle, the tribe that rule over assorted creams and scotch fingers and caramel crowns. I can hear the warring factions taunt each other loudly as I continue my journey.

The smoke mart has been taken over by teenagers. They’re lanky and feral, demanding chips and cola from those who wish to trade. They’re being watched over by the mothers who have created a sanctuary in the baby aisle. Their children play with each other while the women sit in a circle, breastfeeding and talking earnestly about the politics of the surrounding lands and the possibility of creating a yoga retreat.

In party supplies there’s a celebration that is said to never end. The people of this land pop streamers at each other while dancing to the non-stop music. They don’t seem to eat or drink, and whenever a Kylie song comes on they go slightly bananas. They seem oblivious to everything else as balloons fill the air, but I’m told that if you wander too close they will try and pull you in.

I skirt around the snacks aisle, even though it makes my journey longer. The people there are twitchy and half-crazed. I see a man spread-eagled on the floor, making a liquorice angel. His lips are ringed in chocolate, his eyes glazed, lost in Sugarland.

In the soft drink section everyone is begging for Cola. Someone from the distant electrical tribe hands over a kettle and a toaster for a single 1.25ml bottle. She clutches it to her chest as it’s handed over, and when I get too close to her, she growls.

The leader is short but ferocious. Muscles like MMA fighter. Spiky hair.

‘What do you want?’ she asks.

‘Cola.’

‘One chicken.’

‘What?’

‘I know who you are, rotisserie woman.’

‘I can offer you a quarter pack . . .’

‘No trade.’

‘But a whole one is ridiculous . . .’

‘No trade!’ she screams, and suddenly her crew are behind her. They’ve made armour out of drink cartons, their cardboard-clad shapes hostile.

What could I do? I gave her my chicken.

10.25am

The people of condiments are restless. The leader snatches my offerings and glares at me.

‘Where is the fowl you promised?’

‘I had to trade it, for that,’ I said, nodding at the plastic bottle in his hands. ‘My journey has been long. I could use a meal and rest before I start back . . .’

‘There’s no food in these lands,’ he said, and I suddenly notice that his people are packing jars and squeeze bottles into shopping bags.

‘We are joining the peoples of the great meat section,’ he says, watching me. ‘They’ve agreed we will be a stronger tribe together. Here . . .’ He shoves a jar of mint sauce at me. ‘I would have gone with applesauce,’ he adds, shrugging. ‘But whatever.’

I leave them to pack and prepare for their long journey.

As I pass the biscuit aisle a man in a hoodie whispers a promise of chocolate and sweetness. I keep my gaze steady, and my feet don’t slow. On my travels I have seen what people will do for a tim tam, and I will not go down that road.

When I finally reach the great plains of the meat section I’m exhausted. The mint sauce is grabbed out of my hands.

The manager is being carved and served up on paper serviettes.

10.28am

My homeland has been depleted. Many chickens have been traded for water and coleslaw and lunch rolls. But that’s not all that’s troubling my clanswomen.

There is talk of war.

10.30am

The coming battle is over the bathrooms.

They’re being guarded by a tribe of warriors in store uniforms. They call themselves Staff.

They have nothing but pure hate for us. They talk of how our people once murdered their leader in cold blood, back in ancient times. They refuse all talks of peace and trade.

They are strong in numbers, so invasion will only be possible if enough tribes join together.

The warrior clan are on board, of course, as is the meat section and the condiment crew. The party people don’t even hear the request; they’re too busy throwing glitter into the air and singing along to Black Velvet, and the mothers are putting babies down for naps and firmly shushing anyone that approaches.

We of the rotisserie chickens have no choice other than to join. We are too few in numbers to be truly independent, though we’ve been joined by a fourth. Janet is from the meat section. She became disenfranchised when she suggested they start wrapping the cold cuts and rationing them. Instead, they decided to trade almost a third of their supplies for cheese and olives, and are gorging on antipasto.

‘But what about tomorrow?’ she says. ‘What about the future?’

So we shall fight.

10.40am

The people of Staff were ready for us.

They’re armed with toilet brushes and bleach. The clash is ferocious, chaotic, and unbelievably loud. I’m knocked to the white floor, the smell of bleach heavy in the air. Over the screams I can hear Cowboys and Kisses, yet again. Am I going mad? I get to my feet and run forward, armed only with sharpened chicken bones.

Suddenly a roll of toilet paper is thrown into the air. We stop as one and stare as it unravels in slow motion — a streaming white banner that floats gently to the floor.

Surrender.

The war is over.

We decide not to take prisoners, because we all really need the loo. We line up, bloodied and bruised. Some are weeping.

Suddenly a procession of people appear from health and haircare. They glide towards us, silent, their faces serene, their hair long and glossy. In their hands are band aids and bandages, aspirin and medicated creams. They start to bandage our wounds, tend to our sprains.

We’re suspicious. What do you want? We ask. Who side are you on?

‘We take no sides,’ they say, their words little more than sighs. ‘We wish only to heal.’

It’s been a long, hard morning. Will we ever make sense out of this chaos?

11.05am

We’ve had our first death.

It’s from the small, strange tribe of people that protect all the peanuts. Driven mad by thirst, they went to war with the water people. But there were too few of them , and after they were driven back one of them promptly died of salt poisoning.

We wrapped his body in a blue cotton throw, and the cold, sombre people of frozen foods allowed us to place his body gently in a freezer.

Strangely, it has bought a kind of peace to our lands. We know now that we need to get along, to live in tolerance of one another, if we are to survive. We may be many lands, but we are just one supermarket, after all.

Trade has become easier and more reasonable. Children are allowed to play outside their borders, though adults must seek a clan leader’s permission to enter any land they’re not from. The mothers have lectured the teenagers about sharing and water is distributed fairly, though I can’t say the same for soft drink. Those people are still jerks.

Our one law is that anyone caught stealing will have a hand ceremoniously removed by the warrior clan leader. This was argued against by the elfin creatures of heath and haircare, but in the end even they saw that trust must be built.

As for my small tribe . . . our stocks are low and we know the end is coming. Janet has started dating someone in ice cream. She says the marriage will secure her future. Perhaps she is right, but I have a strong streak of independence and won’t marry, even for choc mint. Perhaps I will join health and haircare — they’ve set up a small salon and are offering a free cut and shampoo to anyone that wants to become one of them.

12.09pm

Janet has done a runner, taking our last precious chicken with her, as dowry.

We are more sad and betrayed than angry, though if I ever catch her alone I’ll use the paring knife without remorse.

Reluctantly we part ways, and I find myself cast adrift in this new world. I set off, looking for a home.

12.14pm

The elder of health and haircare rejects me.

‘You are from those that eat the flesh of animal,’ they sigh. I can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman. Their hair is so long it brushes the floor. Their skin in translucent, glowing.

‘But I’m just trying to survive.’

‘We live on vitamins, and the light from above that shines on us perpetually. We spend our days trading peacefully with the people from beauty and cosmetics. We help anyone who is in need of pampering, expecting no reward.’ A delicate eyebrow arches. ‘You would not fit in, you — who battles over bathrooms and wields the knife.’

‘Just give me a chance, please! I don’t want to be on my own out there.’

But its no use. The elder offers me a small packet. ‘Take this peppermint conditioner sample. If you can tame the split ends of your heart as well as those in your hair, you may return.’

‘But . . .’

‘Goodbye, traveller,’ the being sighs, and drifts back to the others.

12.26pm

I’ve been caught up in a small skirmish between pasta and bakery.

I can’t tell if its tomato sauce or blood that’s running across the floor. I don’t even know how the battle started, except that it had something to do with breadsticks. I try to run, but someone hits me with a solid cob loaf. I see the floor coming, but I don’t remember hitting it.

4.35pm

When I come to, the battle is over.

I’m in a deserted no-man’s land, somewhere between bakery and pet food. The floor is smeared with red, the air heavy with the scent of parmesan. Overhead a light flickers, making me disorientated. When I sit up and check my watch I’m horrified by how long I’ve been unconscious.

The land is silent, and eerily still.

Suddenly a tiny service dog bolts out of the pet food aisle, teeth bared and tags jingling. Behind it a group of people are hollering at me and making shooing gestures. Something is wrong with them, but I can’t place it as I stagger to my feet.

The dog is still charging. The people jump up and down, urging the creature on. With horror I register the sounds they’re making; hoots and grunts and strange clicks. There are no words. Their clothes are rags. Their feet are bare.

I’m so dazed the creature is almost upon me before I run.

My surroundings are frighteningly unfamiliar. Aisles twist and curve strangely. Shelves are empty. Some have toppled to the floor. Both hair and healthcare and beauty and cosmetics are completely abandoned, and as I run along a path littered with empty shampoo bottles and broken hairbrushes, I hear a voice whisper from the bright lights above me.

‘We have fled the flesh-bodies, traveller. This land has fallen to ruin.’

I stumble over abandoned Country Style magazines. I catch glimpses of the others; faces that peer from behind cereal box camouflage, figures that sink behind the carcasses of checkouts. Something calls out from wilderness, a long, drawn-out sound that is both mournful and savage.

I keep running long after the snarls behind me have faded, looking for refuge.

5pm

A special-ops team crashes through the doors, hurling teargas cannisters and shouting.

I was asleep under a row of shopping carts, living in the outlands to avoid the violent primitives, and they don’t see me.

From the haze of gas comes startled yips and grunts. In the distance I glimpse wild-looking figures, scattering. I wander out of doors that have been forced open, only to be body-slammed by four police officers in full riot gear.

The pavement rises up to meet my face. I breathe in concrete and cigarette butts and fresh air. The smell of outside. Memories are rushing back, of a younger me, parking my car and pulling shopping bags out of the boot. I’m hauled to my feet and with wonder I see the sky. I’d forgotten its blue. I’d forgotten the sweet, soft brightness of natural light.

I begin sobbing with relief. Someone is saying, ‘What’s your name? Do you know?’

I don’t. I just know I’ve survived. I’ve gotten out of the supermarket.

Of Bones & Bone Working

Of Bones & Bone Working

I am a corvid like practitioner, an opportunistic scavenger taking a bit from this tradition, cobbled together with a bit from that. Its the American in me I suspect, melting pot and all of that.

Sometime early on in my studies I discovered the inherent power in the bones of the dead. Animals, insects, even trees if you get down to it are just the remains of a living thing, once inhabited by a spirit that forever lingers in that entangled way that particles and energy do.

Bones have been used as sacred objects since the very beginning of mankind. In the oldest of neolithic sites we find the ritual use of bones, both animal and human, central to the practice of magic.

There is an obvious fascination that mankind has, that cuts across all cultures, for the naked bone. It is a symbol of the structure that underpins life, and a sigil for the potential death in all living things. Its sacredness, especially those of the human dead, is so profound that the desecration of the graveyard is a crime in almost all parts of the world.

(The irony being of course that it is merely the memorial dead, those who have living relatives, that we generally care about. Not the millennia old dead who were buried at sacred sites only to be dug up and put on display at some museum or another. Or worse locked in a storage container in the basement of some university holding facility.)

Bones hold a special power, culturally and spiritually. They work in many ways in magic, both practically and ritually. Beyond being ingredients they are particularly good as containers for those things that need binding.

The ritual of washing bones is one that is accompanied by a rhythmic tune, one that evokes a tone of appeasement and cooperation. This cleansing is both practical and ritual, cleansing both the physical object and giving us an intimate familiarity with its details and shape.

A leg bone cut in two parts and emptied of its marrow (used to make an ink) makes a perfect receptacle for the ashes of a pact written on virgin parchment or a sigil described. With maybe some herbal accompaniment, sealed in wax and bound in leather, cord, or hair.

A bone is a useful place to keep a spirit bound, or even the shade of some ill intended persons that need straightening out. It is a living container, a perfect lure for those more pesky spirits that crave the form of flesh.

A shoulder bone of a fox, inscribed with the sigil of the first created, and sealed with words and symbols in the hour and day of Saturn, makes a particularly good warding tool. Its effect is considerable among those land spirits that tend to ignore admonishments and orisons to Semitic deities.

A sheep or deer's jaw, complete with teeth, can be utilized to give voice to air spirits who linger over certain fields and quarries. It must be bathed in river water for the whole of a moon cycle, removed under the new moon and rubbed with beeswax taken in the autumn. Afterward it should be hung by a cord from a tree branch or high fence post so that it can catch the wind.

For the more musically inclined a length of lamb or sheep's leg bone can be fashioned into a short flute with a beeswax fipple, or even just a single note whistle, for playing ritual music and clearing ritual spaces.

Bone binding isn't a difficult practice to master, though it is particularly important that one use quality materials and source their bones from farmers and fields in which animals have been given room to wander. The bones of a factory raised animal are not something that will lead to good in any undertaking.

As well the other components of the binding, the sealing wax and cord, etc should be able to withstand changes in humidity and weather. If the wax cracks and the seal breaks the binding is broken. And generally whatever you put in there won't have been pleased by the sudden dismissal.

Bones and bone working remain a taboo in modern society, and the discomfort many people have with bones is never more evident than in the food industry, where every effort is made to conceal the fact that meat was once a living animal from the consumer. Perfectly packaged boneless skinless pink shapes wrapped in plastic. A sterile death of an animal likely kept from the earth most of its brief and miserable life.

Those who would work in bones would do well to have themselves some very private spot or container in which to wrap and store the various fetishes that they have created. I prefer a solid wooden box, or a half dozen as the case may be.

While it may be one of the more gruesome tasks a practitioner may undertake the de-fleshing of an animal, roadkill or otherwise, isn't as impossible as it sounds. If one has the time, merely wrapping it is some mesh weatherproof cloth and leaving it exposed to the elements will do the job, though it will take as much as a year. In just a month or two a bucket of light water, bio active detergent and the occasional stirring with the stick will speed the job nicely. Not a very welcome smell in any case.

The bone worker is not repulsed by the same things as others. Unafraid of the rot and decay of the world, embracing the insect helpers that break down the flesh and reveal the bones. The smell of putrescence and filth in the wind, summoning the weather to speed the decay along. The bone worker, be they hedge witch or necromancer, knows that to get the job done it means getting one's hands dirty.
