(#5464335) Re: Turnips
Posted by GinnyB on 4 Feb 2023 at 1:34AM I love Turnip fritters. Mashed turnips, a bit of flour and an egg, then fried in a pan.. like pancakes.. but smaller..
(#5464122) Re: Turnips
Posted by will648 on 3 Feb 2023 at 7:00AM I happen to love the flavor and texture of turnips. So good! There’s no accounting for taste.

Posted by Totty on 3 Feb 2023 at 12:14AM Heart, liver and lungs I think. Minced, oatmeal added with seasoning and cooked in a tight bag, so effectively it's steamed from the inside when cooked. When the bag is pierced there's a beautiful moment of steam escaping before it splits open under the pressure. Served with mashed neeps and tatties (turnips and pototoes) Few things about being Scottish are SO Scottish as Haggis. ![]() (#5464050) Re: Haggis. .
Posted by GinnyB on 3 Feb 2023 at 12:05AM What animal organs do they use? I used to make a stew with lambs tongue, heart, head, lungs, tripe and a few other organs.. Used to cook them for hours then serve it with a "garlic water" (diced garlic with water) diced hard bread and lots of lemon juice.. It was a Traditional New Years day dinner., We called it PATCHA,,

Posted by Lady Butterfly on 2 Feb 2023 at 6:42AM What is "offal" from a sheep? Is like a lunch meat, a roast? how is it cooked, fried, baked, boiled???
(#5463809) Re: It's a lot of...
Posted by Totty on 2 Feb 2023 at 6:11AM Haggis is basically seasoned offal from a sheep, minced and cooked in a skin, which was originally the stomach lining, but is now artificial. It has a fabulous flavour and texture, and is traditionally eaten in Scotland on Burns' Night, the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, whose poem "Address To A Haggis" is often read out as the haggis is presented to the room. With someone playing bagpipes in a kilt of course! Best line of the poem (for me) is "Great chieftain of the pudding race", something I often call my cat. (#5463056) Re: It's a lot of...
Posted by Lady Butterfly on 31 Jan 2023 at 1:00AM Ok, never ever tried Haggis, what is it anyway? I have heard of it.. Isn't it funny how we develop our taste's? When my son was about 2 my husband put some spinich in his mashed potatoes, well he discovered it was in there before he ate it and would NEVER try it.. I don't think he even got it into his mouth.. He still won't eat it.. (#5463041) Re: It's a lot of...
Posted by Jools on 30 Jan 2023 at 10:46PM my wife says they used to feed their dogs tripe when she was growing up and the smell of it cooking was disgusting, this soup obviously had a lot of spices added

Posted by Lady Butterfly on 30 Jan 2023 at 10:08AM A neighbor was making soup and I said that smells so good, well she came over and gave me a cup of her soup, the smell was Curry, love it, but it was tripe, can't say I hated it, I don't think it had any taste, and was really chewy like grizzle, wouldn't eat it again but it sure did smell good.. ![]() (#5462779) Offal

Posted by GinnyB on 28 Jan 2023 at 1:11AM TO Me Treat meat is any kind of canned processed meats, eg spam, Armour meat, or even the Vienna sausages.. All PROCESSED MEATS,. Tofu is curd made from mashed soybeans, used chiefly in Asian and vegetarian cooking. I've heard Vegans make tofu turkey and color it.. To me it's very bland tasteless processed junk..

Posted by verclo on 27 Jan 2023 at 12:09PM There are no foods that I Absolutely hate, just some that I enjoy more than others. Most of the foods on this list are ones I enjoy eating a lot. Especially liver, spinach and brussels sprouts. And no need for any ketchup to cover up the flavor of the liver.

Posted by Jools on 27 Jan 2023 at 8:45AM nothing on the list I hate, a few I'm not keen on. I don't like eggs, fatty meat or some fish much so avoid them where possible. I never liked liver growing up, but that was mainly the way it was cooking. I've had it thinly sliced and pan-fried with the right sauce it's delicious. I've also made my own chicken-liver pate which is wonderful fresh (#5461772) Re: What Food Do You Absolutely Hate?

Posted by Jools on 24 Jan 2023 at 8:40AM but most junk mail is sent from from other mail distributors that the royal mail has a legal requirement to deliver, they have to recover their costs by charging everyone else more for their services. Another flawed government policy to try and introduce competition than puts unnecessary costs on existing infrastructure

I know two people who switch to snow tyres (one from Canada, one from Sweden) in January/February if we get a bad Scottish winter. I live near a hill to a railway bridge, and the total ineptitude of drivers in even light snow is incredible.

(#5437307) Re: SHOPPING
Posted by TaraRayne on 18 Nov 2022 at 11:00AM I know what a planogram team is, I worked in retail. Displays are usually seasonal so yes they "move" depending on the season. That's still not what I consider constant. I shop for my items in the actual aisle instead of shopping by what's on display.
(#5437303) Re: SHOPPING
Posted by Robyn Hode on 18 Nov 2022 at 10:44AM Precisely the reason. There are "teams", for example at Target (Planogram Team) who constantly move displays all year long.
(#5437287) Re: SHOPPING
Posted by Jools on 18 Nov 2022 at 8:58AM it's done for a purpose, so you have to look in areas of the store you don't normally visit. Here in Saudi they don't tend to do it, but some products are not in stock for weeks or even months (usually imported stuff) and when they come back in stock they forget where they belong so get moved. Some things are only available in some stores, so I have to look around the complete store every few weeks to see what's come back in stock (#5437286) Re: SHOPPING

Posted by Totty on 18 Nov 2022 at 6:56AM My absolute King Of Annoyances in supermarkets is people who cannot let go of their trolley. They walk somewhere, then see something on the other side of the aisle, and as though superglued to the handle, they cross over, pulling the trolley diagonally behind them, completely blocking everything, oblivious to the queues and grumbles around them. I'm REALLY lucky in that I pass smaller shops at least twice every day at quiet times. But I still get blocked sometimes. ![]() (#5437237) Re: SHOPPING
Posted by TaraRayne on 18 Nov 2022 at 6:20AM Are these stores that "constantly " move things around not in the states? The stores I have worked in and shop in don't do this. Each aisle is number and tells you what is in the aisle and might get moved if there is a remodel of the store which doesn't happen that often. CVS where I used to work had a yearly reset but that was more about discontinuing products and adding new ones. Sometimes shelf placement changed.

Posted by laura lee on 17 Nov 2022 at 7:23PM I agree.. I have a problem with stairs, (even tho its only 3 to get in my house). So I have to set everything on the porch (small area so sometimes it don't all fit), Then carry in it from there (but I can set my walker by the door and set the heavier stuff on it to get it to the counter). I usually try to pick up the bigger and heavier stuff , like cat food, etc. when my one friend can go with me, she carry's that in for me then. Last time I ordered the cat food (since I haven't been able to find the one I buy around here lately) and when fed-ex came I asked him to set it inside for me. (#5437067) Re: SHOPPING

Posted by Jools on 15 Nov 2022 at 11:26PM I haven't been for a while, but I still prefer to see them perform at the smaller venues, but most seem to want to do stadiums (which I've never attended). I went to see my son perform in a massive school choir event at the O2 several years ago and couldn't see a thing on stage, so wouldn't go and see a band or comedian perform there. I'm lucky that I live near Brighton which still is on the list for some performers and only about an hour from London, which still has enough smaller venues.

Posted by karynsong on 24 Oct 2022 at 2:29PM When I'm home, my son-in-law decorates the yard, and two sides of the house and I do inside most of the rooms wall to wall, floor to ceiling decorations. It looks like a Halloween shop in every room. Happy faces on Jack-0-lanters, scarecrows, witches, you name it. I paint little Halloween pictures on my fingernails and toenails too, and have Halloween pants and tops. That's about it. No parties. I also make cute Halloween snacks for all the groups I belong to, like bingo, canasta, bunco, zonk, yahtzee, etc. but this year is bleak. I'm over 100 miles from home taking care of my 96 yr. old uncle in Hospice. (#5429253) Re: What do you usually observe this time of year?

Posted by The Wood Goddess on 24 Oct 2022 at 11:04AM Humm? Well I’m looking at everything that I should have done already, all the things that need put away before snow flies. This time of year I’m looking at my kness cause I’m always caught with my pants down! Not my favorite time of year! And it’s getting horribly cold, and that I really don’t like. And I’m living in the Pacific Northwest. ![]() (#5429240) What do you usually observe this time of year?
Posted by lwmc on 24 Oct 2022 at 10:43AM Several: There are several birthdays I look forward to. But I usually like to buy candy for halloween, and if no one come by, that just leaves more for me. But I really look forward to thanksgiving in November. Because I love cornbread sage dressing. But unfortunately I am not a good cook. (#5428575) Re: Favourite DB…

(#5427685) Re: Jungle
Posted by Dragon Jr on 19 Oct 2022 at 1:59PM I know of a board game called Jungle. The figures in the game all are animals. The weakest animal is the mouse; the strongest, the elephant. The object of the game is to get one of your animals into your opponent's lair.

Posted by Robyn Hode on 19 Oct 2022 at 12:15PM Disappointed it wasn't named here as gyan chauper/pachisi. Would have been easily recognizable then. Wait, recognisable.
(#5427676) Re: chutes and ladders
Posted by Robyn Hode on 19 Oct 2022 at 12:13PM Snakes and ladders originated as part of a family of Indian dice board games that included gyan chauper and pachisi (known in English as Ludo and Parcheesi). It made its way to England and was sold as "Snakes and Ladders", then the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders. --Wikepedia (#5427675) Re: chutes and ladders
(#5427674) Re: chutes and ladders
Posted by Jools on 19 Oct 2022 at 12:09PM The most widely known edition of snakes and ladders in the United States is Chutes and Ladders, released by Milton Bradley in 1943. So it's a trade name rather than generic (#5427670) Re: chutes and ladders

Posted by Roger11440 on 13 Oct 2022 at 11:15AM I'm a widower so make 3 gallons of chili at a time and freeze a bunch of meal sized containers of it. I make it from scratch! Lots more to it than the beans, but the question was about the beans: Use a small can each of black beans, of red kidney beans, and of white navy beans.

Posted by KG_2020 on 12 Oct 2022 at 11:38PM The people who answer the surveys and especially those who comment tend to be more active on this site. It distorts the results away from the people who play few games and are here less often. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my 114 games. (#5425422) Re: Games

Posted by Robyn Hode on 12 Oct 2022 at 2:29PM My favorite part of playing those who have hundreds of games is knowing they will move in the last couple hours and that the tournament I'm in will not last a month or two, but 6 months to a year. The joy.

Posted by foster007 on 6 Oct 2022 at 10:47AM my kid had a hedgehog for three years, what a wonderful pet. was clean (poo and pee in corner on paper) was quiet, no noise at all apart from walking on wheel for an hour each night, would eat any protein (eggs, meat, chicken, worms, bugs), slept alot of the time apart from evening and late night when we wanted to pet it anyhow, slept all school hours, and was friendly when socialized and handled properly. was a much better pet than any hamsters or smaller things we had before. would highly recommend for any kid older than 10 who is able to handle it carefully and calmly. if handled rough or not socialized properly, would not be a good pet, would be skittish and shy .
