lol i love hes butchering a pig in his good sweater and rolex. Admire his confidence,
Master Butcher.
This is AMAZING. It's such a shame that here in the UK , people are so out of touch with true fresh meat that they have to warn viewers that the images might offend. We are happy eating the over processed burger but we don't want to see the cow (which btw has probably been mistreated and suffered a terrible life in the mass farming industry). This is why I'm so happy to be french (I'm also of african descent). A french guy will look at a cow or pig alive and tell you which parts are good to eat and then show you how to butcher it. Lots of brits have lost this love to real food. It's a shame. We need to educate ourselves a bit more and stop buying rubbish, tasteless meat from supermarkets. The first time I ate pork in my maternal village in cameroon(it was a welcome present and the pig had been butchered specially for my mother and I) ,I was SHOCKED. I never really liked oil before that because I found it quite tasteless. But this one had a very strong sweet gamey taste. The skin and fat and gelatin and meat were SOOOOO tasty even though there wasn't much seasoning. Just a few herbs. Well after that I could never eat supermarket pork again. Thanks for this video :)
TheDogs1504 Erm actually, I grew up in the English countryside so i know what I'm talking about. I've spent more time in England than in France. I was born in the UK (born french though) then moved to France.These avid home chefs you speak of are usually of middle class background which to me is not representative of the nation. A lot of commoners do not know or no longer care where their food comes from. It's a shame. When i speak to young people my age , alot of them have no knowledge of real food. I do now live in London mind you and we do have a growing number of young foodies but these foodies tend to not be from poor backgrounds either. Also please don't tell me to shut up. There are more decent ways of speaking to people. My comment was not insulting and I'm entitled to my own opinion. Are you French ? No? So how can you guarantee anything ? France has a strong agricultural industry which is extremely important. Every week on TF1 you'll see updates about how the farming sector is going. So its normal for even a Parisian to be closer to nature even when he lives in the city. It's in the culture. Most of us still buy our meat from the butchers(the wealthy shop in farmers markets) , bread from bakeries ,know which part of what animal is needed to make such or such meal, rich or poor. I want England to come back to that too and not just the wealthy people. When I first walked into iceland , I looked at the ingredients of the products and was appalled. Especially when I looked around and saw many young or very elderly working class people shopping there. I thought these are the very people who need healthy, fresh food. You seem to have taken my comment as an attack but it wasn't . Even though I'm legally french I also consider myself also English. So its natural for me to feel concerned. I wish you a pleasant Sunday. Good day x
TheDogs1504 You may have family in france , just as I do btw but you are speaking based on hearsay whereas I am speaking from personal experience. The class system may be ridiculous but it doesn't stop the fact that it's there. We live in a capitalist society where we have a huge variation in the levels of incomes. Ok so you're of working class background. So ? You're only one person. There's a reason why people like Jamie Oliver spent a lot of time encouraging people/kids around the nation to eat good food. There's a reason why we are the most obese nation in Europe and we have been so for a while. France is one of the lowest according to the OECD (though it is predicted to be on the rise in the next 10 years as younger generations are becoming more and more attracted to junk food). I'm not saying that everyone shops at iceland. What surprises me is how places like Iceland can even exist. Because there is demand for their products. But as I said there is an increasing number of foodies but it's a small minority of people. However what I've noticed in England which is quite interesting is that out of those who are interested in quality of raw produce, men tend to be more interested than women. All the foodies I've met here are mostly young men bit that's pure impression. Anyway you seem to be taking my comments as an attack against you or England as a whole when statistics are there to prove what I'm saying. So this debate is rather useless , I'm going to agree to disagree. I find it silly when people comment on other people's posts just for the sake of argument then get angry (all by themselves) when the original poster repeats their original view. You thought I'd magically change my views after your post? Obviously not. So it's rather pointless.
TheDogs1504 Lol. To put me back in my place . What a joke. Now who the hell do you think YOU are? Im very fine in my place thank you very much. Yes you are only 1 person. You don't care about my view? For someone who doesn't give a 'rats ass' about my view you sure are taking precious time out of your day to respond. ;)I think you need to do a bit of research Mr because clearly you're the one who doesn't know what they are talking about. Do you know what the OECD is ? My mother worked in the Ministry of Agriculture (DEFRA) in Westminster and now works in the OECD so I know my fair share about Britain's eating, farming patterns.Also you just contradicted yourself . I just said that poorer people don't eat well. You just confirmed my whole view. The fact that you associate 'finer products ' with fresh healthy , non processed products , yet again confirms what I was saying. The VAST MAJORITY of people do not eat well. I've also lived in this society for some time. So in fact we don't disagree at all. Please learn how to read. I said that there were more and more foodies. Which is basically what you just said. Whether or not we are more conscious of what we are eating ,the fact is that we are still fat. I still see junk, prepared food being served in our children's schools. I still see children who have very little knowledge of vegetables and the animals we find in our plates and kids who are given little packed lunches full of rubbish to eat at school. We are still the fat nation of Europe and it's not for nothing.

Hey loudmouth,
First off; The English, as well an any other country that has television (virtually everyone) never have to be "warned" that the movie they are about to watch has (simulations of) people who are about to be shot, maimed, raped, tied up, locked up, tortured, and be ripped apart by murderers. It is gratuitous violence after violence and nothing more on television.
But, when it comes time to watching where our food comes from- THEN WE NEED TO BE WARNED because, after all, we can eat the pig but God for bid we learn about our foods origin.
How stupid. But not as stupid- or as mean spirited- as you.
I was quite impressed with the girls truth and insight and you seem to have a problem with it because, quite frankly, you have something stuck up your "arse" and I'm assuming its your brain. The only reason you reacted so caustically to what, basically, was an innocuous yet accurate insight is because your sensibilities were offended and that's YOUR PROBLEM.
Here in the states I have a friend who is a caterer who makes her own sausages. Yet when, for Christmas, I ordered a whole suckling pig, she
was unable to bring herself to look at it. When I cited her own vast experience with food and its preparation, namely "sausages", she retorted "I never cooked "bambi".
Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
I lived in Italy as well and that attitude DOES NOT PREVAIL ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. The same goes for rabbits which here in the states are considered "pets" and most Americans ARE offended at the thought of cooking them, but THEY ARE NOT OFFENDED TO LINE UP AT MCDONALDS TO GRAB A "HAPPY MEAL" which includes the remains ( and I mean "remains") of an animal which was turned upside down via a mechanical "jaw" and then had its throat cut.
This silly, ignorant hypocrisy keeps men and their food sources- THE SOURCE OF WHAT SUSTAINS THEM- far apart and unrealistic. This ignorance leads to poor eating habits and bad choices.
THAT WAS THE GIRLS POINT, sir, and she was right.
***** Marie,
just tell "the dogs" to screw off.
You are right and he is simply insecure because, for some obscure reason, you offended him.
That's his problem.
You are correct in your belief and the same concept can be applied to Americans where people and their food sources are kept as far apart
as you can imagine.
Wonderful to watch. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this. I think it gives true appreciation of meat and how much effort goes into butchery. Great video.
ben hunt you are my friend my facebook id monjur rahman your faceboook id
"You wanna do some cutting?" Hands him a saw lol.
Great video, it's always interesting to see how different cultures view the same animal.
Excellent video. Thanks for uploading
Great film! the passion is truly there.
Definitely not as sexy as I was expecting when I read "Four Men and a Pig." But this is even better.
were you expecting david cameron?
5:30, "people pay a premium for the filet and the loin.... it's tasteless and dry"
I so agree with what is mentioned... I will never BUY chops myself, there are other cuts of pork that can give u more bang for your buck with more taste
+Neil S It's tasteless and dry if you're a fucking idiot and cook it like an Englishman.
+hoilst pls... if u r saying that a pork loin is tasty, ur opinion is worthless... again I reiterate there r other cuts of pork that give more bang for ur dollar. but it u don't understand that stick with ur overpriced chops n loins.
That quote really stuck out to me as well.
Those pork chops at the end just beautiful 😍
Fantastic! More, more, more please!
Again, where is Part 2?
You're a lucky man to see that in person
yes my aunt , uncle + 2 cousins boy/girl moved there 25 years ago to pennsylvania, somewhere else and now theyre in santa cruz, calif. for the last 15 yrs. ive been 3 times, no expert ill admit.(my cousin joined the air force and was in iraq for 2 tours the last time i saw him, so im not a hater that way)
A lot of fun and interesting way to understand the cuts of meat. Thank you
Growing up in UK and then travelling to where parents are from in kashmir and seeing how they eat meat there is amazing. Fresh
Great video
This video has made me very hungry, thanks! :)
London geez in Italy - love it
awesome knives nice and sharp
my mum told me the only part of a pig you cant use is its 'oink'
Love this title
Holy fuck, that pig was huge!
as a butcher, this is a beautiful video.
Please ask these men to write a book on Italian Charcuterie and the art of pig butchery and salumi making.
nice cut.
i had hopes of butchering part of our first pig when it's ready around christmas. but after watching this, i might just have to let the experts do it....
Great video, love watching these home butchering.
Interesting to see that there is more then one way to skin a pig. No fun intended. Well done video.
WOW,, this is awesome to watch,, must take years to learn..
do you have the video of them curing the meat? Thanks
Pork fat is apparently the ideal profile your body wants of saturated fat to monounsaturated fat that is found in your own adipose tissue. Only peanut oil is as close, but vegetable oil is probably not as healthy because not as fresh and not animal based. Fat is only unhealthy if mixed with high carbs.
What you said is true, but that isn't what I was talking about. What I was saying is true, but in what dose it becomes a problem I cannot say. The issue is that when blood glucose is very high at the same time of saturated fat the liver will be unable to detoxify the saturated fat which causes lipotoxicity. This doesn't happen with monosaturated fats or when blood sugar is not high. If saturated fat is consumed with protein during a fast for example this would never happen. So, to some extent there is benefit to keeping blood glucose and saturated fat separate. I'm not doing this myself as I don't know the dosage issues. I don't think the fat slowing it will be enough either or it would never be an issue. Maybe a lot of really refined cars with a high dose of saturated fat will be toxic to beta cells. That is when you get type 1 diabetes.
I love how at 0:36 and 12:05, you can see where the back of his cleaver has been peened over from being hit repeatedly for decades.
the also raised the levels of arsenic and radiation allowed in raw meets cos it was off the charts and dangerous, so they changed the chart.
Nice sir its look like easy to cut for you
bellisimo viva italia
I'm Italian and is strange, because when he speaks italian he has a strong center-south italy accent (perhaps to talk with his less educated older relative-laborer), but has a very good english, better than mine really...
Less educated, imbecille, anzi imbecille e ignorante, vuol dire letteralmente "che ha studiato di meno", che non è andato molto a scuola, vuoi perché ai tempi non ci si andava, vuoi perché hanno iniziato a lavorare ad una età molto tenera. Il mio italiano è perfetto, grazie tante. Imbecille.
the teacher show whith rolex and Gold in the finger .. wow nice
A master @work.
Where is the graphic content that was warned about? What was that all about? Are people - in general - offended by the natural process of killing, skinning and parting of an animal?
No wonder our children thinks that meat "comes from the refrigerated display down in the local supermarket".
This is a great video, but it certainly does not require any kind of "warning" tag attached to it. That's just ridiculous. But I guess the producers has to adhere to mind-numbing political rules that dictate to warn and/or remove content that "may offend some sensitive viewers".
Sheesh. I suggest these viewers take a stroll in the wilds one day. See how nature acts at its best. Then they'd surely be struggling with PTSS for the rest of their lives.
Get over it!
@dumbassa, We don't have to base our morals on how wild animals act. People would be highly offended if the Rolex butcher was doing the same to a dog. I can imagine that people view this as graphic.
"Are people - in general - offended by the natural process of killing, skinning and parting of an animal?"
Unfortunately, yes.
Four men in a pig. A lesson in Italian debauchery.
Great Video. Can't see anything offending.
seriously now don't tell me that these old wise guys are not members in any mafia
@mattybock
yes. it's very tender because it as a muscle gets little play, but its far away from bones, fat and connective tissue which equals flavor. Same as on a cow. Tender, but tasteless.
I am hungry now…. Good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That knife is very sharp, damn
They process vids like this in factories?
where do i find part 2?
Wipe your blade off after steeling it, learn how to fucking steel it in the first place.
Learn how to pop joints and you don't have to use a saw.
Honing(steeling) does not create particles you silly silly boy.
Jim Henline "honing steel" is not a hone at all, i.e. its function is to displace rather than to remove metal along the edge. Source Wiki
Well done Tim.
we've lost a LOT of this knowledge in the USA
i love italy and italyans
perfetto cazzo, grandi
ARGHHHHHH, so frustrating when he's butchering and the camera is on him, not what he's doing.
Butchers were often part of the well heeled level of society..
note the dudes' blue faced Subby
with 2-tone bracelet...Noohyysse!!
wow , great job. these are things that used to be handed down from father to son. what a lost art of how to get the most out of the whole pig
Even if you never butcher a pig in your life it’s useful to know what part of the animal you are eating.
To all the trolls and critics: fucking grow up already (unless you’re under 12 years old in which case I apologize).
Did you get one of your vegan hipster bicyclists to film this, Guardian? Half the time the camera - well, let's face it, it's probably an iPhone - isn't even pointing at the important stuff.
hoilst soy boy
It took 40 seconds to load a 16 second commercial.
TRUE pork ''chops''
You must not have left your hotel... cause I can get a whole pig at any place here...
i miss our family bussnes meat shop in philippines evryday work like this vedio
Cine spala de sange si ascute cutitele ?
360p?
Nice long rounded end heh heh
Man seeing this video , I remember how beatifull Italy use to be.
yes , santa cruz in cali.
EYY WHAT PART DO THE GABBAGOOL COME FROM
Mmmmmmmm pork!!!
I love how these blokes keep all of their jewelry and watches on while they do this work. Bwahahahahahaha
8 fingers 2 thumbs LOL, sorry couldn't resist
They use the whole buffalo
People be like:
"I simply can't watch this gruesome display of gore and animal cruelty!
Instead I'm going to watch American Horror Story.."
*eats McDonald's hamburger*
The master butcher speaks english as his mother language. Is he italian?
I can't believe these folks still have their ten fingers..
I watch a short clip about minor surgery, and I almost vomit.
I watch this, and I get hungry.
what's with the Rolex???
They got the best english speaking (WTF he has a yorkshire accent) butcher in Italy...
Yorkshire? No way, that´s a southern accent.
I clicked on this because I thought that was Andrew Zimmern in the pic.
film the the actual butchering process so we can see how he is cutting and not the face of the butcher. how annoying!
that wasn't graphic.
They look like they’re straight out of the godfather
Title was click bait, not what I was expecting
I want carbonara with guanciale so bad right now.
I need to go sharpen my knives
In much of the world virtually every part of the animal is consumed and I mean everything. The tongue, head, stomach, intestines, bones, hooves, etc. We Americans are way too squeamish and as a consequence are ignorant of what we’re missing out on,
Have you ever been here?
Main butcher english is too perfect to be italian :)
Italians
That camera person / editor was shockingly bad
Says who... you can buy a whole pig at any slaughterhouse.
steeling does not creat particles! :D I think you do still your knives, but you must have rd that silly thing somewhere.Just try jim's test and ou will realize something...
go try to teach a lion to eat a salad then come back
Thats what i like about nice pig roast, just ut the meat off and enjoy.,
What does this have to do with buying a whole pig.....
6:10 Gabagool !! :D
Gabagool, fuhgeddaboudit.
I can't understand what they talk about brain...but in my country the pig brain is not edible, whereas the lamb or goat calf brain is edible...how about that in Italy?
pigs dig around in the dirt and are more likely to pick up certain parasites from the soils. thats why you tend to cook pigs more than other animals unless they are grown in controlled conditions, as well as why you avoid certain parts of outdoor raised pigs.
there is a saying here in Italy "you don't throw away anything of the pig"
Bravo, del maiale un si butta nulla...@@lucabalboni140
how are the cannibals ?
I saw that @ 03:43 happen to a live dude on Best gore! Not nice!
Godfather's cook
keen to show off his Rolex....
