I was just pondering what

I was just pondering what religion that Annie practices, that requires sacrificial offerings of flambéed sausages. Could be interested in joining that, let me anywhere near a kitchen and I'd burn the water boiling an egg!

Ah scuttle ... that is either behind the dashboard of a car, to sink a ship, to naff off at a vast rate of knots, a bucket for coal, or Fred of Benny Hill fame.

Oh Lord, the bacon brigade are here again I see! Why peeps want to imbibe ingest* slices of dead pig rather escapes me actually, but there we are.

Uncle Chris's Emporium of Knowledge

Question of the week No. 273 - Does eating bacon make you inclined to tell porky pies?

As for this scrofula, what about the category of a pain in the lower regions?

* Imbibe is to drink, ingest is to eat, but you all knew that anyway.

Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Scrofula is when you are

Scrofula is when you are taken over by Scroffles. These are smaller than Triffids, have a similar attitude to humans and by and large ought be avoided. Up the upside they do make a tasty snack especially if marinated in tequila.

Cheers, Mike.

Good morning everyone!! TL

Good morning everyone!!

TL I hope you are enjoying your snoozing!!

Chris S are you saying you don't like bacon? Have you ever even tried it? It makes EVERYTHING taste better, it gives other foods some extra depth of flavor, but on it's own is where it shines!! You can get sugar cured bacon, maple cured bacon and of the course the usual salt or smoke cured bacon. Not anywhere in the history of eating bacon though is there much, if any, discussion on the healthy bits about eating bacon, mostly because there aren't many. BUT bacon IS mostly protein, as opposed to the often loaded with carbohydrates other foods most people eat.

If you want to eat more 'healthy' bacon try turkey bacon like this:
http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/mini-turkey-bacon-quiches-125628.aspx

Or even this page with dozens of recipes:
http://www.yummly.com/recipes/turkey-bacon-egg-cheese

They key to eating turkey bacon is to add it to things that can use the enhanced flavorings, while at the same time still being a fairly healthy meal.

Losing weight means you MUST find new ways of eating your comfort foods, changing to turkey bacon from good old pork bacon has helped me do that. BUT it does NOT mean I can still eat bacon every day!!

Mikey! where have you been

Mikey! where have you been living?? I am well known throughout Boinc land for conducting a one man crusade against people that are fixated with bacon. If I read "hands XYZ 30 pieces of crispy bacon" just one more time I shall scream my head off and probably commit Manslaughter. Somebody has to stand up against it. I think it's a communicable disease called Rasheritis, and there should by a UN worldwide vaccination program.

Oh, and there is no such thing as turkey bacon, that was some pathetic ad agency man trying to scrape his months bonus. Turkey meat yes I grant you. No matter what you call it, how you eat or prepare it, bacon comes from pigs, like it or not Bacon I don't dislike bacon myself in small quantities, mainly I find it too salty. I used to enjoy some scratchings in the pub with my pint, until I realised that they came from animals spending all their life rolling about in their own excrement.

Actually the UK's main broadcaster recently changed their name to the Ban Bacon Collective, which was quite canny as nobody has twigged it yet!

Oink Oink!

My gas came out hotter than usual *gaze blankly into distance* It does that sometimes.

Our cat Diego worships the grill god if you're interested? Always from the left of the cooker for some reason, which is why his right whiskers are a little bit of quite a lot shorter than his other ones. Our cat Nooks steals whatever she can hook a claw into from the other side. I run a busy kitchen.

Yes! :) Like those agave worms, or are they caterpillars? Frankly... they look like grubs to me close up. I always feel sorry for them. There's something forlorn about lying on your side at the bottom of a bottle of tequila, although I think that version might be called Mezcal *cast mind back to last slammer night thennnnn... soldier on without it* When I began just picking on vegetables and funghi and twigs and stuff, I gave them up too.

I cooked some of that too but it all got eaten :)

Oh. That's... nice...

erm...

Obviously - if you stop enjoying it there's probably some cream or ointment for it... somewhere. Perhaps when Mike is over his scrofula he could suggest something? Tingsalvee is all I can think of at the moment :)

No wonder you got turned off. Perhaps you should have washed them first...

I'd never come across pork scratchings until I came to this country. My first one was a nipple. I reconciled myself to that as, if you're going to eat the poor thing's insides you should probably not turn your nose up at its outsides, but the taste was so foul and didn't improve at all by my politely accepted fourth one (proffered by the enthusiastic islanders around me) that I've avoided them ever since. Not the islanders... their bags of pig parts, and have learned to accept that I'm weird :)

Having said that, all the pigs I've known prefer to wallow in mud, if it's provided... although I'd still recommend washing them before putting them in your mouth.

Yes :) Mine's being consumed daily. I'd formed the impression I had a radioactive half life that would decay at weekly intervals, but it seems not...

Hi TL and Mikey and Kathryn and everyone I've missed :)

edit: I should probably say that by haphazardly quoting from a variety of posts, I may have given the impression that Mike likes marinating cats in tequila. To the best of my knowledge, this is not true....... my apologies

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
