Random Irritations

Man U playing poorly. England getting humped in the cricket.......and losing a foresomes semi final on the third extra hole.

Black pudding. I’ve never eaten it and never will, why do they put it on cooked breakfasts? Playing at Oake Manor today and we just had a fry up for lunch before going out. One of our guys owns his own butchers shop and even he doesn’t eat the stuff.

How can you be irritated by something you've never tried? Black pudding is fantastic, breakfast is instantly improved when that's on the plate. :thup:
 
I had a Garmin satnav for 10+ years. Fantastic device, worked brilliantly, easy to update and the update would take minutes. I now have a built in satnav in my Skoda. Nowhere near as intuitive, not as many extra functions and the update I am doing is taking hours to both download and then unzip and upload. Skoda, just go to Garmin and ask them to do your satnavs.

Just taken this from WIki:

"Blood puddings are often supposed to be one of the oldest forms of sausage. Animals are generally bled at slaughter, and as blood does not keep unless prepared in some way, making a pudding with it is one of the easiest ways of ensuring it does not go to waste. While the majority of modern black pudding recipes involve pork blood, this has not always been the case; sheep or cow blood was also used, and one 15th century English recipe used that of a porpoise, in a pudding eaten exclusively by the nobility".

You won't be surprised to learn that I also like my steaks cooked medium to well done.

How did they catch porpoises in the 15th century? Harpoon? Seems like a lot of trouble for some black pudding :p



Try the trad Stornoway made black pudding, stuff is seriously good.

You like your steaks ruined? If you're going to order a steak well done you'd be better off not having one at all.

I knew mostly what was in black pudding, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. If something tastes nice, I'll eat it. :thup:
