Really busy these days, mange tout?
I am in full agreement on anything containing pork!!
Sausages......eeewwww!! Remind me to tell you about the Cumberland sausage fiasco when we were in Scotland....LOL. But he obviously has no intestinal problems if he could eat the Loon's chili......I know I couldn't. "Joan Archer" wrote in message ... No he doesn't eat burgers, the only sausage he'll eat are the hot dog sausages that come in tins, although he did once quite like Cumberland sausage. He doesn't like pork but he likes pork pie and sausage rolls g trouble is he's not supposed to have the sausage rolls because they have pastry and he's not allowed that. He used to like pies like chicken and mushroom but again can't have because of the pastry, I tell you it's very expensive trying to feed a diabetic because the things he liked were cheaper and the things he can have are damned expensive gplus he's fussy. He'd be no good with Heirlooms chilli, he doesn't like things too hot either g -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher "The Moosh Grater" wrote in message ... "Joan Archer" wrote in message ... Don't have meat in this house, well very rarely, the only meat John likes or will eat is Chicken he reckons it's because he didn't grow up eating it and yet he likes the offal, kidney's and liver. I seem to recall Proctor and Bergman (probably) calling it "Beef Awful". That was probably a variety of cat food. Have you tried him on cat food? He doesn't like pork, lamb, beef or even mince so when I used to make So he doesn't like burgers? It must be around about 1980, when I was in Oxford Street - probably to buy a Firesign Theatre album in HMV - that I went into Wendy's for a burger and it was such a vast improvement over the fast food competition that when Wendy's disappeared - no doubt because the masses prefer the waste products of MacDonalds - I began making my own (sort of) by buying a tray of mince, squashing it vaguely burger shape and frying it. Really it needed the small amount of bread or whatever it is they use, presumably as a binder. I do find it very hard to understand a meat eater who doesn't like burgers! When I quit the stuff I switched to Sainsbury's or Tesco's chargrilled vegeburgers because they taste enough like beefburgers (especially with cheese, onions, ketchup, American mustard, horseradish, lettuce and lightly toasted bread to squash it all between!). In fact, I suddenly know what tonight's dinner is going to be! If you remember a couple of years back (so probably three or one) my ruminations on the 'pickles' you smell when you walk past a Subway (as opposed to a subway, which if anything will smell like a telephone box), that was entirely about completing my vegeburger concoctions. Still haven't found them, though the gerkin I was given at the chippy in Edgware that was not simply open New Year's Day, but where you get fish fried in matzo, which I like from time to time, came close. Meanwhile I get the impression I'm the only gentile in Britain who likes matzo! Though on the whole I think I prefer batter, these days). shepherds pie always had to make him something different, he hasn't got any better with age either especially being diabetic and not being allowed to eat some of the cheaper food. We both love fish but you can't have that every day either and he's fussy give him something a couple of times and he decides he's gone off it grrrrrrrrrr he's just a nightmare trying to find something different to eat everyday g And you're making me feel hungry especially talking about doughnuts, it's OK though I've got a couple of cream horns in the fridge and a strawberry trifle yummy. g You know Joan, I'm always glad to help!

It sort of fits my mood once in a while. Indeed, Harry. You said you were of German extraction. At first glance 'Webster' sounds undeniably English - but then Webber is clearly German and I expect Webster shares the etymology at least. And after all many if not all English names seem to come from French, German, Scandinavian (Beatson, for e.g.) and Welsh. But from time to time you say things that makes me suspect that actually 'Webster' was the name of someone who hasn't been seen for a few years now but whose skin you're sitting in as you type! My skin is 'virtually' the same as it was 80 years ago and my name 'Harry' was given after someone else's nomination, purposely pointing in the 'English' direction. Also, my choice of 'webster' was coincidental, I simply liked it. But 'Moosh Grater'? Don't make me look it up... Shane |

Hi Mart.......they were from Cumberland cuz Bob bought them there when we
did the royal tour to Whitehaven and over to Bowness on Windermere. BUT, when he cooked them perfectly (Ron was watching and drooling), he went to put them in the oven to keep them warm and dumped them all on the floor!!!!! The worst part?? He then threw them out!! Ron would have dusted them off and demolished them.....lol. And this non-frugal Bob is Scottish?? (G) He and his wife live in our ancestor's house in Kirkton.......just a wonderful couple and Elayne went over the next year to stay with them. PS......I detest haggis!! Much to Bob's dismay.

YOU look at the subject.....it does NOT say *manger*. mange n. Any of
several chronic skin diseases of mammals caused by parasitic mites and characterized by skin lesions, itching, and loss of hair. I know who initiated the thread, it still says 'mange.'
