Food

The seppos and the mexicans also have beer.

Still amazed that rabbit is such an untapped resource in this country. Pre-war with was practically a staple.

I ate a very nice bunny stew on Friday evening at a place called Teds on Upper st. A bit of a confused restaurant, but the bunny was good.

The Mongolians and the British also have beer.

I watched a program about farming Crocodiles in the UK, and was struck by the explanation of why Crocodiles were so safe to farm in England- the weather.

Being cold blooded if Mr Crocodile scarpered from his heated barn into the Great British Countryside (GBC) then the cold would bring him to a halt as his blood cooled and he ran out of power- very much like a clockwork toy running out of power as it scuttles across the carpet.

It was then a simple matter of collecting Mr Crocodile and returning him to the barn where he would perk up again in the heat.

maybe i just prefer german beer.

German beer and crocodile...winner.

@ Damit: Are there many crocodile farms in the UK?

with that in mind Damit you could buy live crocs and store them in a cool place until you needed them, then Wallop, fresh Croc

I rustled up a three bird roast yesterday, Pigeon, Partridge and Pheasant. i was itching to put the pheasant into the pigeon for comedy effect but didn't have the time. I did skin the birds and wrap the skin aroud the pheasant like a patchwork quilt with a nice chianti.... held the forcemeat in and was amazingly satisfying rolling it up into a perfect pheasant shape. amazingly tasty with a bit of bread sauce, thickened fresh game stock and roast baby turnips

I was discussing this yesterday. Is it possible to dominate a species more than that? Some fucker comes along and sticks you up your cousins arse.

Or worse, sticks your cousin up your arse? My cousing is 6'3 and weighs 120kg.

I loved this website. Monthly family food expenditures in different parts of the world. Great images.

In other news, the New York Times has published that 1 in 8 american adults subsist on food stamps, and 1 in 4 children.

These figures are representative of the two thirds of eligible recipients who actually obtain them.

flip me! do the mexicans bath in coke!??!
its amazing the amount of that shit is drank my the south americans

Doesn't mean he is a rough lover

I don't believe the figures of that page, the German family spend an average of $6 per meal (£4.50?) this is huge when you consider that breakfasts probably costs way under a quid...which would give them a budget of £6.25 for lunch and the same for dinner, you'd have to have pretty expensive tastes to maintain that all week.....you could probably eat on takeaways and restaurants for every meal on that budget, which is not what the picture suggests...and we all know how cheap german beer is!....where's Oliver?

I was speaking to a Prison chef in the USA last week, his budget was $1.37 per day, per prisoner.

I won't round my Mrs' mates for dinner on Saturday night, 7 of us, every one a veggie except me.

This will shed some light on things in case you're interested. I believe that Mexico is Coca Cola's most profitable market in the world.

a pound or two of field blewitts (my favourite) from Finsbury Park last Friday, luckily I had my boy with me as his trike made a handy receptacle for them...

Sweet Jesus!
Do they drink anything else?! it's devils juice with no benefits, maybe it's a taste that suits their diets? or it's cheap

...and it tastes shit.

Next time you have some, actually taste it in your mouth using your taste buds. Its fucking foul. I just had a can because its refreshing, but it tastes like shit.

People have been brainwashed by advertising.

Cheaper then clean water in some places

Aren't field blewitts a touch near the border line of this-could-kill-you-or-trip-you-out? and pretty bitter tasting?
i have always stayed clear

No, but not to be eaten raw, alongside the wood blewitt they are my favourite of all species I've found not just for their rich flavour, but they are pretty "chunky" so you only need a few to make a meal, and if you do find them they are usually abundant....

plus it's pretty hard to mis-indentify them, because they grow at a time of year when most other mushrooms don't.

I haven't lived in Germany for a while, so I'm really not up-to-date on food prices. However, this is clearly a well-to-do middle-class family, and their budget will not be at all reflective of what an average German family spend. Injustice in Germany is deepening and the gaps grow wider. Someone on Hartz IV (social insecurity payments) will be on a budget closer to that of the prison cook.

Never seen them before but I found some parasol mushrooms a few weeks ago and spent about an hour in paranoia identifying them across three books to make sure they where the edible variety and they where lovely fried up with some butter. Defiantly a new one for me and one I'll keep an eye out for next year.

also found a chanterelle and some other mushroom I was unable to identify confidently but I think was edible despite it's waxy cap and bright colouring

What do you mean "found"?

Like, on the ground?

There are two varieties of parasol in the UK the smaller one "shaggy parasol" (rhacoides) stains pink / red when damaged, both are safe to eat however the shaggy can cause stomach upsets in some...not me thankfully.

careful of the "false chanterelle", looks very simliar but once you know what to look for you won't mistake the two....though I have only ever found chanterelles in Scotland ....at SSWC 07 in fact!...

Roger Phillips is THE book. I delivered to him once!
