    Wondered if anyone on this section could give me some advice? Lots of signs recently gone up in park where I often walk the dog, and bait boxes. ‘Anti-coagulant’ ‘risk of secondary poisoning’ Dif... something. My dog has never been worked but is an averagely inquisitive 2 year old. Should I avoid this park? Put him on a lead? Stop being neurotic old woman and just leave him sniff / find at will? Chap I know to say hello to, who has a young lurcher he works, says to avoid area altogether as rats will travel and pee and their trail will be toxic to dogs. PS

    Yep. I went for boiling them, but just couldn’t get the fuzzy inside skins off. Started with this ended up with this carnage and singed fingers. i may try again next year...

    On a slight tangent, but re ‘the old days’ and cheaper cuts, I remember getting home from school one day and seeing in the fridge what I thought was a piece of some sort of chilled ice-cream bombe thing, like I’d seen at my friends house. (They had all sorts of wonderful things made by Birdseye, AND a Soda Stream). No.... it was a wedge of cows udder. (I feel like we’ve had pork chops with kidney in fairly recently? Is this not a thing anymore and I’m misremembering?)

    Well they look and sound rather nice. Love Chestnuts, and cook with them quite a bit (more savoury stuff... always with pheasant, or if making a nut roast; we often have a tapas (tapa?) thing of chicken livers, chorizo and Chestnuts cooked in sherry.) I make pancakes with chestnut flour, and use it to thicken autumn flavours. Picked up a pocketful last year and had a plan to cook and freeze loads (which fell at the first hurdle, so I continue to buy them ready cooked). Look forward to the taste test update. Edited to add Pickled walnuts are VILE

    Had this stuck in my head all day due to the weather (Beast from the East / Bear in the Air).

    Byron. Hope your friend passes with love and peace..... And you're so right.... CANCER IS NOT CONTAGIOUS.

    LOVE IT when black and white photos work... Really like 1,2, 5 and 7 of the first lot , and 1 and 3 of the second. (Pics like these make me feel SO sorry for my poor dog...) Thanks for sharing

    Not sure about this one.....it reminds me of that circus Archaos (watched a few old clips today.. Blimey!) and am always a sucker for a bit of klezmer-esque..

    GREAT last couple pages. My most recent Spotify shuffle three are these...

    Yeah. So do I. I think it's something to do with the three pale streaks on both the left and right quadrants. I see there are corresponding ones on the other half of the piece, which, if they are in the rock itself, show how meticulously he has mirrored the lead work. Or maybe it's something to do with weathering. Anyway, really lovely and interesting. Cheers

    to Arry I googled his work after you posted the first shots. Really like it. This one is extraordinary... even when I expand it, it's hard to see that it is actually flush; the streaks on the stone look like shadow. Thanks.

    Another successful game of fetch..

    Banana chutney, like banana ketchup, and anthing else that isn't an actual banana, is utterly disgusting. Dont try it. It's horrible. (Sorry GL, I mostly LOVE your food posts, but there are limits!...)

    You done these yet? Really lookin forward to seeing how they turn out, specially after seeing the sausages on the other thread. (For what it's worth I generally use shallot, chestnut and mushroom as flavours that go with pheasant, also dessert wine. Bay or thyme and bit of smoked fatty pig never go amiss. Although, as Tiercel (where has he gone?) said on an old thread, adding too many flavours can disguise the taste of the meat.)

    Ah. It's so rare that a Bob track that I'm listening to at the moment is actually available on YouTube. Just sent it to himself too (it's one of 'our songs'). 'Steal a little and they throw you in jail; Steal a lot and they make you King...'

    Really love this thread. Just out of interest, Pesky, do you have a meat slicer?
