It’s Christmas time and who better to talk food and family than the great Fingal Ferguson. The family farm- Gubbeen is cranking out ham’s and cured meats for the holidays and we talked about what goes into the rush. We talked a lot about food and the science behind curing, brining and developing flavor. We discussed the meaning of life being grateful for the wisdom of age, took care of some weird news and got a top recipe for making bacon at home. FF is the best and love to hang with him always. Happy Holidays- GF
