Wow!

Reachable as a day trip from London :) Not sure how interesting it would be for a casual visit, though. Point about cows eating leaves as well as grass was interesting. Maybe that’s what makes Slanker’s better than other grass-fed beef? Savannah rather than plain pasture.

Guernsey cows (in Guernsey) produce far higher beta-carotene and omega oils than plain grass-fed (and butter is naturally a pleasing yellow). Another example of the true complexity of food. Eggs isn't eggs isn't eggs (and microbiome and physiological response isn't...)

Oh yeah sorry it's because of the herbs that they eat. That was the relevance!

I have had butter and cream from Jersey that is dark yellow and tastes deeply good, like a cow pat. I wonder if the same (herb eating) applies there too?

is this a dialect thing? in my dialect cow pat means something I would not want to taste or eat.

I like intense tastes, especially pungent moldy type flavours. Those dairy products did have a taste reminiscent of the smell of cow pats - but they were good, in the way that terrible old cheese is good, though not to everyone’s taste.

interesting. I guess I can see it. earthy flavors can be very satisfying (especially with a good wine/beer pairing) but I don't think I've ever thought as cow dung as an appealing representation of that smell profile.
