Have to agree
What's the mutts name?
^ Not a common name in some parts any more.
I was routing around the fridge for some inspiration for lunch today, and low down, close to the back, right at the edge of view I thought I'd struck gold and found a tin of beaked beans.
Sadly... no.
I skipped lunch today.
^ never seen those in a can. I had some fresh about a year ago that we picked up in the market and they still had the odd ant mixed in. We included the eggs in a salad and had that with other dishes. Well its last time for me, i woke in the early hours of the morning and spoke for quite a while to the big white phone, i could feel the bloody formic acid burning on the way up - never again.
^ First time I've seen them in a tin as well. I thought about trying a small spoonful but they just didn't look right so I gave it it a miss.
The missus always tells me to leave alone the red ant nests in the garden so she can harvest the eggs come the season. I just say, 'yes of course', then cut them down and hoof 'em over the wall when she's out. It's not her who constantly gets bitten by the little buggers when doing stuff in the garden.
No time to peel, boil and mash.
Smoked Mackerel, Peas & carrots (yesterdays), spinach, sauerkraut and offsensive mash.
I haven't seen cans of them very often, good to see a picture to show they do exist.
Wife buys them fresh and freezes them when we are in Germany. I have tried them fresh, picking out only the eggs, and found them quite refreshing. An American friend said they were tasty in an omelette and he wasn't wrong. Eaten raw, they have a certain 'pop' factor to them before releasing their refreshing juice. Not bad in small quantities...
[QUOTE=HuangLao;4115292]Well....passable, I guess - except for the homogenous nature of the plate.Ho Hum./QUOTE]
Its all about speed, 15 minute lunch what can i say. including consumption time
I do the same in reverse from UK to Thailand with sausages, bacon and cheese.
Whenever we visit the UK my wife always takes a myriad of chili and fish sauces and concoctions, but thankfully no ants eggs...yet.
^ Are you sure weaver ants are proven pests? I thought they were quite the opposite and kept fruit pests at bay. Can they survive outside the colony? Can they mature and hatch without assistance? I don't know the specifics for weaver ants.
You can be fined for destroying an ants nest in Germany, so I hope Dave wouldn't encourage such actions.
A Turkish friend of ours owns a very nice restaurant that serves Mediterranean food, mainly Turkish and Greek. Now that all C-19 regs are out business is booming again.
Two lovely meals a few days ago (lamb - Mrs Hat had meat as did the littlest Hat, as is her wont) backed by excellent Turkish coffee
I had the same, but vegetarian
