Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

My apologies for the late acknowledgement gents; I've had the sketchiest internet connection these past few days and of course right in the middle having to do online training for a new job :mad::rolleyes:
In fact to stop myself from chucking the computer through the window, I just gave up and went to the Shrewsbury Beer Festival yesterday :cool:

Jack, Appletons have been a Ripon institution for years now, but they opened one in York about ?2 years ago on Coney Street. A fine replacement for the oft lamented Scott's butchers which used to sit on Petergate :(
Their pies are excellent, and as they sit betwixt railway station and my favourite pubs, pretty irresistable/unavoidable to... :D



What a shame! We don't really have places like that over here; but if someone asked me to think up images of classic America, I think an image similar to what Jack posted would pop into head. Looks a great place and the food looks fantastic. :thumbsup:
And with all this talk of food. Yesterday's lunch.

Good call on the beer festival David, my own internet connection has been pretty poor this past week :( Hope yours is sorted now :thumbsup:

Another great pork pie/Lambsfoot pic my friend, and thanks for the tip on Appletons in York :thumbsup:

I've just being trying to find an image for a famous Sheffield pork butchers in Sheffield, Friedrichs. When I was a teenager, my mate's mother worked there, and every time I called in, I would end up leaving with two carrier-bags of everything they sold! :D :thumbsup:

Edit - Here we are :)

I used to get my hair cut at Scott's barbers next bar, and spent a bit of time in the Brown Cow a few doors further along :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting that link, Jack!

That pie looks pretty good!

Ha! Yes, there's always Whataburger. :D Night Hawk was a great place. What I remember that set it apart is that it was one of the few places around here that had "career waitresses" as opposed to "students who are waiting tables" :rolleyes: They were older, and good at their jobs. A few years ago when the Frisco Shop moved locations, I heard that they paid their staff during the six months they were closed so they could re-open without losing anyone. Unheard of, at least in this state!

Speaking of food, it's time to have some breakfast (with a lambsfoot in my pocket) :):thumbsup:

A pleasure Rachel, it made for interesting reading, and I am very sorry you are losing such a great place :( :thumbsup:

Your welcome Jack! York is well served with some great butchers many of whom do great pork pies :thumbsup:Thanks for the great pictures, a real trip down memory lane for you. I doubt theres much better in life than a carrier bag full of free meat :D:thumbsup:
You've probably seen this but after looking at that picture I just had to do a search about Friedrich's butchers and found this:

Oh and I don't know if your aware but there's been changes to the new Offensive Weapons Bill. I'll see if I can send you the text of an email I had in a private conversation.

I am clearly not the only one who misses Friederich's David :D They did the most amazing hot pork sandwiches :thumbsup:

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll check my emails :thumbsup:

The only Big 'Un I actually have is this one in horn, but I like the idea of a similar knife with rosewood covers as a no-nonsense hard use knife :thumbsup:

That's a great looking knife Jack. But you should grab a rosewood one. Mine large rosewood has been a loyal companion for well over 10 years now and is still going strong. :thumbsup: And reading this made me slip it into my pocket today for the hefty duty of a Saturday of working on the computer :rolleyes:

Anyway morning Guardians. Hope you all have nice weekends planned.

Looks like we have a Large Rosewood Lambsfoot sub-section forming! :D :thumbsup:

Hope everyone is having an excellent weekend :) Interrupted my canalside walk to call in for a pint (Timothy Taylor's Landlord) and a chip butty at a nice old pub (the railway it's named for is long gone) :) :thumbsup:

Thanks, I hope you have a great weekend.
That chip butty...I just can't wrap my head around the concept. It's fried potatoes on bread? Where's the protein? o_O
