Really busy these days, mange tout?

Mmmmmm, chicken fried steak, now there is a gore mets delite. Drown
that baby in some good black pepper white gravy, some steamed red
taters

Taters? What's 'taters' then, Precious? Eh?

Cheers, Noel. I'll check it out. So long since I've been there it never
occurred to me.

This thread has become one for the archive, along with H's original

I begin to think my entirely frivolous posts really are helping keep this
place alive!

Chilli-fest offering from 2005/6 (my, was it really that long ago?)

Yes, it seems much more recent doesn't it! But one day the lingering whiff
will have dissipated!

(Hi, H - how's the Chilli festering? g)

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!

I don't talk about it because someone always asks 'why' and I'm
not in it for the moralizing, but in '89, when I realized that my
sister was perfectly healthy despite not having eaten meat for
three years, I gave up the farmed variety. You'll notice the
dishes I mention that aren't, say, donuts (which I effectively
don't eat anymore anyway) involve seafood, never bits of mammal.

After a while the smell of meat becomes nauseating. Worst is what
it smells like within a couple of hundred yards of MacDonald's.
One bad one is that dish Noel was talking about the other week.
Anything pig-based is stomach churning. Beef isn't that bad
though; possibly because I used to eat raw steak (round about the
time that British beef is supposed to endow one with CJD).

The smell of (wet) cat food doesn't bother me at all, possibly
because I've never stopped dishing it out; but to me (on my head,
son!) the smell of the *dried* stuff is foul!

I'm sure a lot of people - if as many as that ever came here these
days - will think this explains much!

Didn't realise you had a Lidl's around your way Noel John goes to ours every
week, he buys his cheese from them plus the veg for the guinea pigs, and
their frozen gateaux's are to die for yum yum g

Good to read your face, too, Harry! We had winter about a month ago......on
a Wednesday, IIRC. A nice sunny day today, about 56°F and going to be
better tomorrow. The last time there was snow here was about 35 years ago.
We got 13", measured in my front yard, over a 24 hour period and a day later
it was gone. I had to mow last week.
Heirloom, old and I love winter.
