They heavily salted their meat to stop any chance of contamination, this made the meat inebible before it was soaked to get rid of excess salt. The same can be done with fish ie (baccaloa salt Cod) but you have to soak it overnight.
Mentioning Lamb I reckon smoked Lamb might taste ok, or am I being weird lol

im hoping smoked lamb works or im knackered, i dont have access to cows or pigs

and garden centre was a pointless trip, i forgot we live in a workd were even the terracotta pots are plastic.

I really need some hunting lessons, pheasant and other game are all within walking distance to me.

i meant for crabs and shrimps and any fish, at LOW tide of course! and dont forget to look for drift wood and anything useful washed up.

the sea near me cant really be considered as a food source. it has a nuclear power station and loads of factories using it as coolants.

not sure if the ban is still in place but it used to be gov. guidlines not to eat anything from the sea between seaham, and redcar. im right between the two.

hopefully il get to know some clever hunter close by, that would swapp a nice deer leg for all the veges he can carry lol

There's a lot of sea to dilute the pollutants mate. I'm not too far away & eat the fish. Nowt wrong with me. I've got the same 3 eyes & 12 toes as everyone else

winkles are great but you get thick green crap for 3 days if you eat to many.

I can see my diet consisting of a lot of wild birds eggs .
