My butcher has never actually met Jack but he's all in favour of my friend's dietary preferences. I've cut back a lot on meat-eating, so I don't see my butcher as often as I did. When I do see him it is to buy minced pork, pork liver and dry cured bacon. These translate into savoury ducks and bacon butties.
You see, savoury ducks and bacon butties are the preferred enticement for the Lesser Spotted Jack. He will also come for leek and potato soup but he can't resist a duck.
Last week he came even without a duck, though, so I gave him double helpings of bacon butties. (By the way, he usually has his breakfast before he comes: the butties are just a minor snack!)
While he was here he sorted the flower bed. The bacon butties must have been truly wonderful as he allowed the foxgloves to stay. That is a huge concession.
But he also planted the vegetable garden with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers carrots, lettuce, beetroot (and a soaker hose).

And leeks. They may have been a hint.
I love a bacon butty!
ReplyDeleteas does someone else I know!
DeleteJack is a wonderful gardener. What a treasure. to have him.
ReplyDeleteSsh! Don't tell him but I think so too.
DeleteYour garden is looking superb! Good for Jack!
ReplyDeleteHe's done a great job.
DeleteKeep giving Jack those butties (or what we call a sandwich here across the pond). He is doing a marvelous job with your garden.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I think he is fuelled by bacon butties.
DeleteI admit to have eaten Bombay duck, but, not savory duck! Your garden looks lovely and it sounds like you have a treasure in Jack. :) Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting.
ReplyDeleteSavoury ducks are a Lincolnshire delicacy. I visit your blog quite often but, for some reason, haven't commented.
DeleteMay I have your Jack approved recipe for duck? I used to love faggots in my Lancashire childhood but have never successfully made them.
ReplyDeleteThanks
