Magic Pottery Powder - CARTOON REALITY - 24th February 2012
I/2 honey, 1/2 butter with curry powder - and how is that eaten? On toast? Bananas are great with curry -but not vindaloo, something more creamy, along the line of a korma. Do you have shares in sour beer Unit? You don't have to believe me on the balsamic front, I can accept that, but it is excellent.
I once worked on a dig on Church Island, Co. Kerry, a tiny tiny island, we had to take turns when we sat down in case one of the crew were pushed off the edge. All day long, we talked about food, we'd discuss enormous feasts, consider desserts, take votes on starters. Our evening meal was always a disappointment . . .

Before you answer that one let me get a bucket. Even asking that one is making me feel ill.
Strangest thing I ever tasted was some Japanese fish-flavoured boiled sweets (kid you not!) my brother was sent back in the 70s, took months to give them all away... :0

interesting use of the word traditional seems to me that its the authentic way beer should be done from before the clonning of yeast.
not sure what to do with the honeybutters think land of mike and honey presumably making butter help preserve it adding honey maybe more so as for what to do with it I was thinking of bottling it and putting a lable with "traditional" honey butter on it and watching what the public did with it.

I'm sure they would jump all over it! Don't buy the cheap stuff though.
And Dinosaur -how could they be 'sweets' if they tasted of fish, were they actually sweet - candied sardines? I suppose if you can have caramelised onions . . .

WHat is this!!!! Heston FEkin Blumental!
Crunchy scorpion was always my fave
But enjoy this little gem!
fave line:
Silkworm
These guys looked like short, fat caterpillars and one easily fit into my mouth in one shot. Chewing caused it to break down into dust, coating the inside of my mouth. It was like like I’d just eaten a moth. A big swig of beer saved the day.
Feeling: Resentful. Comparative Insect Rating: 3/10.

Think I will stick to the scampie fries and whatsits. I have been eying up the vinegar bottles in the cupboard but the use by dates are in the last century
Suspect moths might be tasty as all the cats I have ever had went out of their way to catch and eat them without playing with them first

With the way this recession is going I think I'm going to be living off maggots soon. That happens after I've exhausted the house flies and death watch beetles.

Avoid the potted termites, they just taste of fat really - suspect they're better freshly fried before they stick them in the jars though :face-thinks:
The Japanese fish 'sweets' were proper boiled sweets (apart from the strange stale fish flavour) - unfortunately this meant that after you'd carelessly accepted one you were politely stuck with the thing in your mouth for hours :0
BAJR - you can get 'crystallised' scorpion too, if you feel the need to vary your diet anytime - can see where the single malts figures now, although a Fisherman's Friend would mask the taste equally well? (ask the fisherman first though!) :o)

on site why not try a bit of worm grunting to subsides the pennys. I have a theory that worm grunting may have led to dark earths, seems to me that if you decreace the surface casting worm numbers the soil cant oxidise and with stay dark. I think that there are only about 4 surface casting spiecies in britain out of about 64 +. New zealand never had any until they were introduced by th europeans and look what happened to their earths.

worms are almost all protien and obviously lots of earth minerals apparently as much weight in worms below an arable field as cows above.
try purging them in cornflower and lettuce then fry in honeybutter- possibly curry but any combination of herds and spice- I like cummin- and then sweat off the pan with a bit of drinking vinegar and serve in a club sandwich with mustard and pickle (homemade) - I like to toast the middle slice and soke it in mayonnaise.
Also imagin they could be nice in pancakes or also make good sausages.

Aww! Spare the worms!
I always try and save them on site, it's a never ending battle
