If you are following this blog you might want to take a quick click to my dedicated Mekong blog. In October this year I took my bicycle to Vietnam for another pedal powered culinary quest. To follow the Mekong river from its mouth in Vietnam to its source in Tibet.

On the dedicated blog you can read recipes, look at pictures watch videos and keep up to speed with life in the saddle in South East Asia.

As more butchers hang up their hooks and supermarkets in all their shapes and sizes spring up on every high street, we as a nation are becoming more and more detached from the process of butchery.

The majority of meat now purchased by the consumer in the UK comes plastic wrapped in a foam tray. Blood and gristle and hair have been cleaned away, and what is left is what the supermarkets want us to believe is the perfect cut of meat. Plump pink breasts, rosy chops, clean fillet are all that are found in the shleves now and the idea of buying any offal, tongue or cheek will soon be a thing of the past.

But what effect is this conditioning having on our relationship with the animals we eat? Do we know how these animals live, what they eat, how much they weigh, what they smell like, what their flesh looks like?  Perhaps in years we will forget what the animal itself looks like, and will only be able to rely on what we are told.

On a recent trip to France I was lucky enough to be invited to a traditional pig kill on a local small holding. Although illegal in this country, in France you are still allowed to kill and butcher a pig on your own property, if it is for your own consumption and here a selection of photos from a morning helping two friends.

I appreciate that these images might upset some people, but I also believe it is important to journal traditional butchery, perhaps before it is too late.

Hands up if you liek going to the movies...

Hands up if you like cycling...

Right then, this is your lucky week. Starting tomorrow the BFF or bicycle film festival is coming to London. Celebrating all styles of bikes and biking, whether it be Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Cycling to Recumbents or even cycling touring - the BFF have probably either ridden or screened it.

And what better way to celebrate the 'cycling way' than through art, film, music and performance? The BFF brings together all aspects of bicycling to help advocate its ability to transport us and change the way we live. 

Starting tomorrow night with an East to West ride and culminating in a huge bike polo tournament and party there are movie premiers, and speed dating in between so be sure pop in. For more information see a listing of events here.

Here is their stunning little trailer.
