Hmmmm ... seeing Max chow-down the froggy makes me appreciate how difficult it must have been for him to part with those Tim Tams that came over with Michael ... that makes me feel verra special indeed. I'm proud of you Master Max ... and honoured too! Now all I need to do is collect those dammed Tim Tams from that man in Snowen Sound :

Hmmm ... a GREAT bargaining power has come my way for me to haggle my Tim Tams home to me where they rightfully belong, methinks.

MASTER CAPTAIN SKAG-MAN ... heed THIS:

Amongst the photos developed to CD recently, I discovered many photos of that joyful day thst you and assorted friends carried and escorted your pride and joy C15A home to your humble Snowen Sound home ... you have NOT seen ANY of these photos yet! ... Now, SUH ... ya gonna work WITH me for a fair resolution to this Tim Tams issssss-u now, or what?

Looking as raggedy as Max does, I'm surprised the froggy didn't bite him first...

Default Toasted bacon butties

Karmen, got back from our new house and I was starving! Had to get some more bacon from the local shop and then Danielle got frying and then toasting with the Breville. The HP sauce goes like liquid lava but the bacon is heaven! My wife Juliette is a vegetarian although her dad shot anything that moved and ate it, or fished anything that swam and ate it (her dad was the former ETS RAF pilot was was stationed in Canada 1942-onwards).She was sick of seeing plucked peasants, sorry Pheasants, and went OTT and veggie..at least she won't get Mad Cow Disease! Still, there's a lot of nice veggie food out there and I never bat an eyelid when I tuck into my slice of porker.

Apart from a frying pan a wok is also recommended as being useful for loads of things including frying of course. My dad used the bonnet of his Bedford QL in the Egyptian desert to fry his eggs!!

Excuse me but I am tucking into a Cinnamon Swirl pastry now .. I love pastries and pies and all types of sausage but you have to watch that waste! 15 stone (14lbs = 1 stone) is too much even when you're 6-feet tall.

Don't "frogs' legs" belong by definition to a Frenchman? :

Anyway, nuff o' that inspired silliness... 'alligator & snake'? Ewwwww... escargot in garlic butter on the other hand (we can be reasonably sure they've not been preprocessed by the aforementioned Frenchman)...

[Obligatory disclaimer: apologies from a politically-incorrect Rostbif if any offense is taken by anyone, for any reason, anywhere in a galaxy far, far away... oh, sod it!]

Default Frogs

We are about 10 miles from the coast and then 75 miles from the coast to Cherbourg, about the same distance to London. I happen to be a Francophile and love France and French food and wine. As a Rostbif though by birth I have to say that it is thanks to the Frogs that we have baguettes, filter coffee, snails/escargots, wine in a box, British Camembert and Brie cheeses, and the desire to spend hundreds of Pounds in trips to France to bring in cheap booze and fags. However, loads of so-called French frog's legs are British-sourced and we also export snails as well! If anyone wonders what a snail tastes like, it's rather like a whelk, the marine shellfish, but less tasty!

However I can honestly say that whilst I have eaten a variety of foods in my life, nothing compares with a French delicacy: brains with white sausage in a white wine sauce! Knowing that you are eating calf's brains is enough to make you vomit even before tucking in..

Funny the things you find on the net. Pointless doing a search for "ass" if you're looking for one of the donkey variety.

Well, I DO declare, my most Dear Master Herk-Man ... any friend of Tim Tams willing to share them is certainly a friend of mine :love:

I you and your Tim Tams too (I say this as I gobble down a fried bacon with mayonaise sandwich after have had my appetite whetted for such a taste, by Master David Haywood hisself ... my cholesterol levels don't thank him, but my taste buds and tummy do

Gee, I'm getting a good thing goin' on here ... a Tim-Tam-Mainline from Aussie-Land ... why don't I just MOVE there? (ah ... IF ONLY I COULD ... I'd be there quicker than a 'Roo could poo after investing Vegemite)

Master Herkman ... look to your email for one from me post-haste

Mmmmmmmmmm-yum .... salty salty bacon fat ... love the taste!

Tim Tams ... love 'em all probably ... I've had the Kahlua from Tim Tam Tony ... as well as a taste of Master Sunray's "Regular" flavor ... I loved the "regular" flavor ... straight-no-chaser I don't know what flavor Dearests' Max and Kathy sent me ... some creature is holding them ransom ....

It's a dog's breakfast, and a mule's meal.

Hi Jon

Did you get the message that Yappy needs her Tim Tams????

Sorry about the photoshopping, but I knew you could take it!

Default Yuk!

Sorry, Mayo is all right for some people like my wife but not for me thanks! In Frog-land a deliacy is Coley/Coalfish with Mayonnaise...we used to give that poor cousin of Cod to the cat! I love fish of all sorts, and the best fishy meal I had was in a small restaurant in Southsea, Portsmouth, a Chinky restaurant where we had Squid in Black bean Sauce and Lobster in Ginger Sauce...ecquisite! I love Octopus, Squid, Cuttlefish, Crab...how about Crab in Tim Tam Sauce? Would it give you the Chunders though?

Has anyone ever eaten Dandelion? In the vineyards where I worked in Marne region of Frog-land, it was normal to pull up a choice Dandelion weed, take it home, wash it and then toss it in a home-made vinaigrette dressing and then eat as per lettuce! Marvellous! Only they don't call it the 'Pis-en-lit' for nothing..it's a dieuretic and a couple of litres of cheap 'Jolly Farmer'* supermarket cooking wine, lovely French cider, and beer at luchtime makes you want to 'pis' enough as it is! Only if you were like the locals, it was a question of finding the nearest tree and doing a doggy against it to relieve! In full view of passers-by!


* When I first went to France in 1971 'Jolly Farmer' from the Co-op was 1 Franc or 1/13th of a Pound..it was cheaper than water!

Better than water too!

I remember cycling into Beauvais, still terribly jet-lagged after a night on an overloaded 707 (crammed with returning French students, all half-pissed when they boarded), one August evening in 1975. Unpacked my bike, reinflated the tyres, pitched my tent and walked up the street to buy bread, butter, eggs and wine. Vin Tigre was the latter, for the equivalent of 38 Canadian cents per litre bottle (to my delight, my high-school Parisian French worked). I seem to remember boiling eggs on my cooker, sopping up the muck with French bread and drinking half that bottle of wine. Never slept better after that.

Default Killer Cats

I gather that the big Catfish are horrible to eat....I must say that when we caught a 16 lb Pollock (a member of the Cod family), it was so huge that it was better to chop it up into steaks and then place same in foil with butter and then bake, or add mashed potatoes and then make fishcakes. Until a few years ago Pollock was a fish you gave the pussy cat to eat, but things change!

Mind you Karmen, with a BIG fish like the one in the pic it would make a wonderful diced fish dish for the wok...

but what would you with THIS..292 kg tiddler?
