Have absolutely no idea what this thread is about since I do not live in England so don't know the companies or terms being used,but I DO know something about BoTox. My son is a paraplegic from an off road bike mis-hap 3 years ago. He has regained partial use of his right arm thru regular BoTox injections and they are now discussing whether to use BoTox on his right leg (until recently BoTox was used primarily on small muscles). We have great hope it will be approved and make the rather miraculous recover we have seen in his right arm. I ,too, always thought it was a sort of vanity solution for wrinkles but have learned differently as it is being applied in my son's situation. |

Bit of a mystery to me too Ken. It seems Horse DNA has been found in some burgers sold by one of our larger supermarkets. The British tend to shy away from horse meat, it's something the French eat, I am told. So we are awash with jokes about it: New reports state traces of zebra have been found in Tesco's bar codes. Tesco have removed veggie burgers from the shelves after traces of uniquorn were found A friend of mine ate a Tesco burger and was rushed to hospital..... His condition is now stable A poll of Tesco shoppers said they'll still buy their burgers from them. The survey was done by Gallup! I selected some burgers on the Tesco website... I then clicked on "add to cart" Just been to Tesco and bought a bottle of Bacardi, a bottle of Lamb's and some burgers. So that's white rum, navy rum and Red Rum. Tesco - Every little helps Who they trying to foal? And many others... This was just a brief selection from my In-Box this morning. I won't bore you all with the rest, they are no better.  |

I said I would never eat horsemeat but after hunting in Africa for a few years I tried Zebra. The camp cook took the backstraps and made cordon bleu and I will have to admit I rather liked it. Did not have any taste terribly different than other wild game. Tender and quite good actually. I became rather fond of one of your English dishes while there(the family I have made friends with were of English ancestry) that on the face sounds repugnent to American ears. Steak and Kidney Pie. Have never seen it on any menu here in the states but would have it if I did. I did like one other dish that also had a terrible name (per American values) 'spotted dick and pudding'. Never did actually know what it was except good. |

Steak and Kidney is my favourite. No chance of getting it here (Aus) either, I got my mum to make it for me when I visited her in England last August! Taste of UK. |

Steak and Kidney pie with shortcrust pastry. A favourite of mine as well. Rich there were several places in the Fleurie Peninsular that had it on the menu. |

your all heathens a PROPER english meal is ,PIE ,MASH AND LIQUER (green gravy) widely available in cookes pie and mash shops in london .usually eaten off of chipped and cracked plates atop marble tables with a floor covering of sawdust ,(to soak up spillage as you walk to your table) and depending how drunk you are followed by a nice fresh bowl of jellied eels . |
|||||||||
jk

Yuk...... Cant stand mushy peas!! Can manage tin plates, cracked china or boards or even newspaper. No jellied eels either thanks. I think that I prefer continental cuisine or Caribbean food. |

Haha... Have had a good laugh at all the burger jokes. We do have funny ideas about what we eat. I wouldn't eat horse - horses are pets - but I would probably try zebra. Someone I know in the US recently posted on facebook that she'd eaten squirrel stew for the first time (I assume this is something Americans enjoy) and I thought, oh no, squirrels are too cute to eat! Then I thought, well I also think pigs are cute but I eat pork - damn them for tasting so good!!! Btw I was a vegetarian for 12 years - errr.... |

All this talk of food is getting me hungry...and I must not be deflected from my New Year diet. Fixing someone's central heating last night, I was more like a beached whale, floundering on the kitchen floor!  |

Well some of my favourites are Liver and Bacon, Tripe and onions (Cows stomach) in a rich creamy sauce, Steak and Kidney steamed PUDDING none of your pie here, that's for the townies! Spotted Dick is suet pudding mixed with currents and sultanas, served with custard or syrup. Nobody has mentioned one of the best meals of all... Haggis! Best served with swede and mashed potatoes, a little whisky helps it down. I once got into awful trouble at school, I couldn't quite finish my third helping, so got 50 lines... I must not be greedy. For those who are not familiar with these small creatures, they are native to the Highlands of Scotland, they are very timid, shy creatures. The best way to catch them is for the hunters to work in pairs, one with a sack at the bottom of a steep slope. The other man climbs the slope and confronts the Haggis as it browses the Scot's Heather. The Highland Haggis have evolved a special, unique characteristic, the legs at one side are much longer the the legs at the other, (bit like an Australian Kangaroo but sideways) this helps them stay upright while they browse the Heather on the steep mountain sides, well if the top man confronts the little Haggis, he scares it and it tries to run the other way but, because it's short legs are now on the wrong side, it rolls down the steep hill and is caught in the sack held by the bottom man. The Haggis is a great delicacy in this part of the world. Especially at New Year and Burns Night. My boys love it, they are always pestering me to cook one for them. |

Lol. Haggis is yummy! A local butcher makes beef olives stuffed with haggis instead of the usual sausagemeat and they are great. Also does them stuffed with oatmeal. Mmmm... Another popular way of cooking haggis is Chicken Highlander. Chicken breast stuffed with haggis then wrapped in bacon and served with a whisky cream sauce. Yum!  |

Robert; Hunting Haggis sounds a lot like hunting Snipe except hunting Snipe is usually done at night. |

Ah, they hunt rabbits at night here, the lads I used to work with made powerful spot lamps and carried car batteries into the fields, together with small (.22) rifles, they shine the lamp at the rabbit, which for some reason stops and stares at the lamp, providing a sitting target for the pot. They also used Lurchers, a cross between a Greyhound and an Alsatian or Collie which makes for a fast hunting dog which they breed themselves. |

I just read by coincidence an article on the BBC news website which says that the import of the poor Haggis is banned in America, something to do with the ingredients? Shame on the USDA! Depriving Scots descendants their traditional dish.Perhaps some live Haggis could be introduced into a Northern mountainous parts of America which share a similar climate with that of their native Scotland. Then they could catch their own, no need to import them. But perhaps the Bears would catch them... |
