Charnwood WIGs
In our May gathering, we were budding butcher’s apprentices as we hand a fantastic tutorial from Glen Lewin, proprietor of Sileby Butchers, which is the last remaining of four butchers in the village.
Beginning life as a fish and chip shop in 1910, the building has been a butchers since the 1930s. Glen gave a vivid explanation of having to move with the times as the business now has a Facebook page and always welcomes feedback from customers. With even more importance being placed on buying local nowadays, customers know exactly where the produce comes from, with a drive in supporting local farmers. Did you know that the most expensive part of a sausage is the skin encasing the meat?
Making a ‘hand’ of sausages was no easy task – likened to crochet by many of our ladies! All I can say is that they cooked up a treat!
