Got to agree with most of the recommendations on here. Roneys for meat - while our oven was being installed we lived on their roast pork sandwiches - awesome. Also never had a bad piece of meat from them.

Tried FD recommendation Ryalls a couple of months back - great bacon, need to go back there.

Mann's Fishmonger on Sharrowvale is awesome as well.

But Fancie cupcakes I have to disagree with - had one and it was awful - dry, did taste of anything. Just make your own - way cheaper.

Border View Farm shop at Bradway; a few Christmas' ago my wife went to order a duck and he looked outside the window and said 'yes I can see a good one for you'.

Liberty foods on Baslow Rd as you're coming out of Totley.

There's a farm shop in Dronfield Woodhouse that's quite good and does buffalo burgers which are meant to be good cause they are low in cholestrol or something. They do nice pies too.

The butchers in Hathersage near the Little John.

Having said all that because it's fresh you sometimes go and they may have run out of somethings.

Not heard much good about this place tbh. Was talking to Underground the other day about how they just buy a lot of stuff in from normal wholesalers and it's not as "farm" as you'd like to think.

Nobody seems to have mentioned Beanies in Crookes.
Really good grocers with loads of variety. They sometimes have a range of exotic mushrooms, such as morels. And at the moment you can get this amazing french garlic, where a bulb is about the size of a fist. Huge cloves! It's awesome. Most of the vegetables are cheap if they are in season. They also sell loads of other stuff as well but some of it is quite expensive. If you can't get hold of an ingredient, it is usually worth trying in Beanies.

Not been to Beanies since my student days - it was good then, good to hear it's still going strong.

Since moving to Nether Edge  we've started using Pops supermarket - great for the more unusual Indian / Asian ingredients, and cheap herbs / spices etc. The array of veg out the front can be fascinating to work out what everything is.

I find Beanies to be quite pricey myself (know a few people who used to be part of the co-operative).

Good quality food though, and the pulses are cheap as beans  :P

Thanks for the heads up Bubba. It's quite convenient for us just being round the corner but will be a bit more vigilant in future.

Shah's on Abbeydale Road is where I get the vast majority of my spices from - really good for garlic and chillies as well.

The Indian sweet shop next to Shah's is good. Loads of different sweets, Jalebi made every day. Shame they aren't made in front of you.

Can anyone recommend anywhere other than Boldocks for fresh wild rabbits? They're out of stock atm.

I don't know but you should never pay more than £4 for a rabbit and £9 for a hare.  remember to try and get the livers with your rabbit.

The cvnts in bakewell wharge about £6 for a rabbot and they look terrible.

If you want good rabbit recipes let me know.

Boldock's bunnies usually cost £5 to £6 but they're great quality. They'll section it in front of you for no extra charge.

There's a butcher in Eckington which advertises them so I might try there as it's nearby.

I feel a little uneasy about eating hare tbh, bunnies are so plentiful I'm not as bothered.

Post some recipes up if you can be bothered - I usually just soak overnight then make a veru slow cooked stew.

Rabbit makes great terrines, esp with black pudding and foie gras.

A rabbit stew with cider and dumplings is a thing of beauty.

Try a dry marinade with smoked paprika, lots of thyme and garlic then, brown off and cook with lots of onion in red wine, chucking in half a black pudding finely chopped and some butter beans half way thorugh.

Hare is great forget all the nonsense about them pairing for life, they'll fuck like a crack whore in need of a fix.  When jugging your hare make sure you use a bit of good >70% chocolate to help emulsify your sauce and use a good reduced wine, cahors or similar.

Jugged hare is somehting everyone should try at least once.

Tonight we're having woodcock with haggis and smoked garlic mash.  Celebrating the news that I just lost (i.e. didn't win) a £100k job. :'(

I think its the only one of its kind in Sheffield so in that respect it probably deserves a mention

Not sure where to post this but just had a awesome sandwich from the van by Halfords on Halifax road. Steak, bacon, egg and mushrooms.  :P

Worth a stop if your passing.
