This from someone that puts vinegar on french fries (okay, chips). blecch.
What do you mean 'what am I talking about?'......look at the
subject.........."mange trout!"
And, the only reason you make a ptui to chili is because you have never had
the real stuff.......just that Canuck unreasonable facsimile made with moose
'nads or mange trout skin......probably adulterate it with beans, too.

How can a trout have mange?.....they don't even have hair! And, I had to

You people want something to eat, come to my house. None of this
hoity-toity, snoot flute, namby-pamby, tofu pablum here. How about a
heapin' bowl of pipe cleaning chili!!! Yeah, that's the ticket!!

Heirloom, old and just made a batch the other night.....sure hope Gore

Don't have meat in this house, well very rarely, the only meat John

eating it and yet he likes the offal, kidney's and liver.

He doesn't like pork, lamb, beef or even mince so when I used to make
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

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!

We are not talking split personality here, are we?
Didn't think so, you just like variety and there's nothing wrong with that


Well, some kind of psychiatric disorder, possibly, just not a dangerous one.

at all, especially when it comes to eating.
Can you help me make sense out of them 'prunes'?


Not sure what you're asking.

Same Old Harry.


See above.


P.S.: In another NG someone has this approximate tagline:
"Don't pick a fight with an old man, he'll just kill you".


Announcing oneself psychotic is not really a wise thing to do.

It sort of fits my mood once in a while.

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

Yellow, eh? You know not to eat the snow though, don't you.

And (I just put my facetious hat on) you're a Caribbean Island are you then

But (taking it off again) I do fancy some kidley beans.

Yes, the trout/rice deal sounds very nice. Actually trout is almost the
only thing I barbecue these days. I did swordfish last year but thought
it was better fried (with just *half* a field of garlic). Rarely do I not
have peas (what other colours do you have then Figgs?), but often have
sliced fried courgette instead. Goes really well with fish I think.

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!

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

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!

Good Lord! I go away for a little while and the place turns into the
stuff that falls out of the back end of medium sized animals.
How can a trout have mange?.....they don't even have hair! And, I had to
look up "offal." Holey Moley! The got the name right, just spelled it
wrong..........should have been "awful."

You people want something to eat, come to my house. None of this
hoity-toity, snoot flute, namby-pamby, tofu pablum here. How about a
heapin' bowl of pipe cleaning chili!!! Yeah, that's the ticket!!

Heirloom, old and just made a batch the other night.....sure hope Gore
doesn't find out the real reason behind global warming.

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!

How about smoked salmon with capers, sliced red onions and a
baguette........forget the pasta. Washed down with a nice bottle of
Douro white........

Perhaps I should talk about tonight's dinner?

(Tagliatelle with salmon - probably with red pepper pesto out of the
jar).

So how do you make Windows Me slice garlic?

Incidentally, today's moniker is to make it *really* easy for the
Government to know who the insults are from.
