i sell trout. and trout pate. i have sold smoked veges. people love them but i didn't have a cryovac to give them a long enough shelf life. now i do. that is why im suddenly , desperately, trying to learn to smoke chooks etc, so i can sell at the markets. trout ive done on a large scale. chooks ive done with nitrates. mussells ive nearly down pat. veges are easy.
im just a bush cook. mum had pubs and did the cooking sometimes, i guess i learned some things. but a chef im not.
