Mushrooms, Toadstools? Definitely Fungi.

I think it was something to do with the babies' parents. She seems to have had a weird, unhealthy fascination with them; social media stalking and faux sympathy cards and stuff.

I'm a big fan of dead pig, in all its forms. It has to be the most versatile and most utilised of meat producing animals. As the old saying goes; "you can eat everything but the squeak"

I think they are already going after the management, as they should. It sounds like there were some serious fckups there, compounding the hideous crimes she was committing. As in other nasty cases like this, I feel for the poor buggers who had to sit on the jury. I had to do it once, but thankfully it was a straightforward case of one scally youth attacking another scally youth.

Not hiding behind anything Nd, I just can't be bothered trying to have a calm, reasoned discussion with you, it's not possible. Besides, there's nowt wrong with a bit of humour to lighten the mood sometimes. Lockdowns, (and other associated mitigation measures), were a necessary evil. Hugely damaging obviously, but necessary in the circumstances nonetheless. I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in that viewpoint, but if I am then so be it. Incidentally, had we had an honest and competent government at the time then some of the negative consequences could have been significantly lessened. Also, there were some positive aspects that you tend to overlook. At the end of the day it's in the past, you can't change anything. Doesn't matter how much you rant and whine about it on here. There's a host of far more important issues that urgently need addressing. This topic wastes far too much bandwidth.

The pork puffs are ok, but not really on a par with the good old full fat pork scratchings. Though I do flinch a bit when they still have the hair on sometimes!

It could be argued that in the long-term, Social Media and Junk Food are far more damaging to children's mental and physical health. Discuss. I think France at least is making progress on both fronts.

Good old Godwin.

It's going to be a Mushroom Preservation Frenzy! -

What you going to do with them all if you get that kind of quantity? Surely you can't eat that many in one sitting. -

Indeed. That's a very good haul. What are they? -
But children can't catch Foot and Mouth! 😜

That's why they're only meant to be used on a complete tree removal.
-
To the tree I guess you mean?
-
Caraway seeds are also good.
-
Why?
-
Good knowledge. I like the discolouration actually, it adds to the visual appeal.
-
Oh yeah, flatbreads. Forgot about them, they're good. We had a spate of doing lots of them a couple years back.
-
Lovely. Interesting grey staining. I'd've guessed at early fungal decay, but you said the wood was green to start with. ?
-
Here's a quick and easy meal. Savoury pancakes. Mackerel and Worcester Sauce in this case, but cheese and onion/ham/mushroom, sliced beef and horseradish, peanut butter. Lots of options.
-
That came to my mind as well, didn't suggest it though as I didn't think anyone else would've heard of it. Palinka is lovely stuff, got a few pleasant memories of drinking it out in the sticks in Transylvania. A girl friend's uncle used to make it. He just seemed to chuck a load of plums in a big barrel, leave them to ferment/gently rot for a few weeks and then take it down the road to the guy with the village Still. Best served with chunks of salted pig fat!
-
A very nice problem to have. I'd just make bugger loads of jam and stewed plums. Both keep for years if done properly. Plus a bit of wine on the side. I've not done the latter but it can't be that different from most other wines. I'm sure C.J.J. Berry will have a recipe.

That's impressive.
