Tiny Tak has got nice little feet Mendip, but I feel I am still pining for this Luzon Lady that I finally met after 3.5 years yesterday.

I feel like a schoolboy suffering from puppylove when I think about her.

It is not often a woman makes you feel like that at our age.

You did well there mate considering it's only been produced since 2020, is brewed in Tadcaster and had been unavailable in Spain until February of this year. Do you mean Cruzcampo?

According to Ryan McLaughlin, marketing controller at Coors, Madrí’s branding is inspired by nineteenth-century Spain and ‘the progressive spirit of modern Madrid’. But let’s shatter those Spanish-soaked lager dreams: Madrí isn’t made in Madrid, as the name might suggest. It’s not made in Spain at all, for that matter. It’s actually brewed at various sites in the UK, including Yorkshire.
‘No one who comes in here from Spain has ever heard of it,’ says Haye. ‘They’ll ask: “Why has that got Madrid on it?”’ But the British lager drinkers? Lapping it up, he tells us. Every last drop.
‘Madrí is a completely manufactured and invented brand,’ says Pete Brown, an expert in beer trends and author of ‘Clubland: How the Working Men’s Club Shaped Britain’. ‘It’s purely a marketing reflex exercise. And it’s probably the best [marketing campaign] we’ve seen since Peroni.’

The look on the dog- and I thought the battered prawns look ok!

erm, really? Do you need reminding of what your food offerings look like?

From the looks of things he makes his 'Spog Bol' with minced feet.


minced feet/minced meat.



Doesn't really work that, does it.


I'll be back on form in a week or two.

Tonight was Taco Tuesday.

Quick cooked Danita's Corn Tortillas, fresh ground Australian Beef, Shredded mild cheddar cheese, Tomato's and some Tabasco Habanero to wake them up.

^I used to work in a Mexican restaurant in Spinner's hometown of Vancouver so I want to get back into this mexicali cuisine. Cheezy beans is not really the real deal


It is not the most hygienic kitchen tae be shure and the kettle on top of the microwave is a deathtrap

And I was late back from Mt Cootha so the main had to be microwaved

But tonight's pork green curry with fried pumpkin was a thumbs up

I'll open a can of beans now

^ Our work is done!

(but what was that thing on the left, Reg?)


Despite not having a drop of Scottish blood we've had chips with almost every meal lately.

We ran out of proper potatoes a week ago and the wife has taken to bringing home these revolting sweet potatoes from her 'country' friends. I curse the day I said that they were 'nice' to keep the peace, and now we're inundated with the bladdy things.

Anyway, at least they are oven chips which I believe are healthy enough.

A few highlights...

Sausage, chips and peas with gravy, and some bonus broccoli.



Fried barramundi with chips and peas. I've given up on using batter because it always seems to burn, so now just dip the fish in flour like my mum used to do... we couldn't afford batter when I were a kid.

I added a sneaky chicken nugget seeing as the convection oven was on anyway. I've been using these to hide Lola's tablets.



I've almost perfected the chicken breast with bacon and brie sauce. I had to improvise with a part-boned chicken leg and a slice of Laughing Cow, but this was the best yet. With chips and peas.





And after catching a couple of nice fish out of the pond the other night, last night was fried pla nin fillets. With chips and mushy peas, to mix it up a bit.



I'm hoping to get to Makro at the weekend to get some potatoes.

Very nice! So much better than slop and beans.

Well Snubs, I fully understand that we all have different food preferences and cultural upbringing but the sloppy peasant beans that are only served up in homeless shelters nowadays is where I have to draw the line. It's right there with Spam and any food with animal guts. There simply is no need to eat that unless of course....
Well.... they are homeless....

You can not "turn" gut haters.

They can't eat it if they know what it is.

If it's in sausages on the other hand.....

It will not Norts, not now, not ever. The Liver is a blood filter which means all the crap an animal eats is filtered and stuck there. Why eat an animal blood filter when you do not have to? Same goes for kidneys, gizzards etc. I will stick with Tenderloins and Ribeyes Thank you very much...

That is a good point and why I do not eat Hotdogs. I do eat Italian Spiced Sausages but know exactly how they are made. My wife makes Sai Ua for me and and she never ever adds animals guts. She does have to add some fat or it will be too dry.

Obviously you, unlike me, were not born a poor black child.

Being we have chatted Norts, I question that statement. but this could go back to that color blind thing you mentioned in the Repo thread....

It's OK

Several things that I do not eat. Chickenfeet is one. The day will never come.

Liver can be saeb-saeb though


You being an old motorcycle rider, I assume that you ate some insect over the years

I can admit I did forcefully eat a few bugs in my day until full face helmets became available. Then it was a thing of the past as i watched them splatter on the face shield. Colorful event I might add, especially if a big butterfly....

I'm with Yankee Poodle on this one.

Clean chicken meat, beef or pork steaks.

I'd rather vomit and eat that, than those yucky inside parts, guts and tubes.

Sorry, I have an Irish mam.

I grew up on liver, kidneys, hearts, and tongue.

Yum.

The missus has taught me to enjoy chickenfeed, gizzards and lungs now also.
