RE: Escargo for supper

Yes, cut into fairly thin slivers, dipp in seasoned flour and fry on a hotplate for about a minute each side. Turn off the heat, there should still be a little blood running out, let stand for a minute on the hotplate to finish cooking. The result should be super tender tasty lambs liver...thumbs up

RE: Escargo for supper

Mashed up in a cup with lots of salt and pepper, then spread on toast...thumbs up

RE: Escargo for supper

I used to hate liver until someone cooked it properly for me. Most people overcook liver, totally spoils it.

RE: Fall

Haha, Mrs Tiggywinkle looks snug in her little home...thumbs up

Dont give her any milk though, hedgehogs are lactose intolerant.

I thought this thread was going to be about Albert Camus.

Oh well, I'll sort out some Autumn pics to post.

Poodle noodles?

RE: Escargo for supper

I'd rather eat a trough of baked beans garnished with a couple of dead dogs, as Basil once suggested.

RE: Escargo for supper

mmmmm tripe, onions and spaghetti in a carbonara sauce...sounds good

Not too sure about the chicken necks though...uh oh

RE: Escargo for supper

Yes, tripe and onions poached in milk.....lovely.


thumbs up

RE: Escargo for supper

Honeycomb tripe, poached in milk or eaten raw with salt and vinegar, used to be very popular in Northern England, tasted good.

RE: Jellied eels for lunch

Spare a thought for the poor eels. They swim all the way from the Sargasso Sea in the Bahamas only to end up in aspic on some Cockney's plate.

SAVE THE EELS!!!!

RE: The deepest song you know...?

Yes Chesney, You'll Never Walk Alone, sung for the first time at a football ground in 1958 after the Munich Air Crash...and that ground wasn't Anfield. .....devil

Yes he came over in his clogs to sort the English out....grin

RE: Anti-lockdown protests: Three officers injured as 18 are arrested after clashes with police

It was is the Battle of Aughrim six weeks later rather than the Battle of the Boyne which was the decisive encounter in the Williamite Wars, but it's the Boyne that's always remembered.

RE: The Psychological Effect of Colours

It certainly is, so much so that I can remember my last lsd experience was 30th May 1970.
That was after spending a period of around 15 months experimenting. Before I took the drug I researched a little and found a very informative book on the subject..

LSD — The Problem-Solving Psychedelic
P.G. Stafford and B.H. Golightly

The book went into the amazing power of the drug to be able to open up the creative skills and problem solving capabilities within the individual. At the time, compared to today, very little was known about the drug and it's possibilities, particularly in the field of mental health. Even today studies are very limited due to government restrictions in trialing lsd.
From what I have seen and read recently, trials using lsd on people suffering major depression and trauma have been most encouraging. It seems that after just a couple of sessions the patients was able to come off antidepressants immediately and return to a normal life.
One patient being interviewed said it was an incredible turn around in his life after just two sessions but had to return to taking antidepressants some months later as the government had stopped all trials.
Call me cynical but that would certainly be in the interests of the pharmaceutical companies and their mass production and distribution of antidepressants.

Just a short extract from the book I mentioned....

"I think that as a result of the psychedelic experience there's a heightened sense of the drama of life, including its brevity, and a realization both of the importance of one's individual life and of the fact that a sacred task has been given to the individual in the development of the self..."



Just to make it clear, I don't advocate the taking of lsd unless it's under medical supervision, it's a very powerful and unpredictable drug. I got away with it (well almost) all those years ago, but I know a few who didn't.

RE: What is your view...on those...who use too much profanity?

Some people can turn profanity into an art form.....laugh


RE: UK could be urged to keep windows open in effort to curb Covid-19

Sounds good but I'm a west coast man. I'd miss sunsets over the sea and craggy coastlines....grin

RE: UK could be urged to keep windows open in effort to curb Covid-19

Nice fresh air sweeping in off the Atlantic...lovely.

The problem I have is, by the time that air reaches me on the prevailing westerly winds, it's not so fresh. Maybe I should move to the west coast of Ireland....grin

RE: The Psychological Effect of Colours

I'm sure you're right about the possible extortionate cost, but that aside the experience was unlike anything I could ever hope to achieve normally. For me it was a one off, apart from the experience at the time, it also had a very calming effect which lasted for a few hours afterwards.
What amazed me was how white light could produce such an effect, even with my eyes closed. I find it difficult to imagine how anyone could experience anything similar by just thought alone.
But if you can.....fantastic. ...applause
