Oh I forgot cauliflower, that went the same way. A regular dish (growing up) was liver and bacon and stuff, with onions. I have never liked onions for some reason, childhood reasons no doubt.  I did a Zoology degree and one study was on liver flukes. We had an infected piece of liver that crawled across the table. I have never been able to even look at liver as a food stuff again.

But yes stir fry has opened my taste buds. There is so much gorgeous stir fry here that it is just wonderful. We are also going into a week of food festivals in Adelaide, cooks from around the world present their dishes.

@Jamie D, I hate that video with a passion :laugh:
In particular the pix of Bluebird

I do remember Donald Campbell trying to break  the speed record in Bluebird on  Coniston lake.  I visited the site years later when he was still a hero to me. His incredible drive has at times kept me going. I was sad when they recovered his body. The Lakes in the Lake District are or were cold lonely places,  a good grave for a freak. I say that with respect.

This sounds odd, he is one that will never rest in peace.

Sorry

Do you like your flukes raw or slightly fried? Incidentally, I did my Hons on eels, every day someone would collect the carcase to eat.

Life has changed :laugh:

So that was footage of the Bluebird speed run @ 1:50?

I think I want an orange beehive.

Suits you 'Plaster  in Paris?"


Yea I don't remember but I remember being told he made some poor decisions, don't we all when we die BTW :laugh:, I think I was told  he turned for the second run too quickly and hit turbulence from his first run at 350 mph (?) it blew the vehicle to pieces. I remember at the time it was reported he had hit a log. I was captivated by him for some reason. I think he inspired me as a person who could find vast amounts of finance to do something completely useless( to me) and live his dreams.  My dreams may be different but we need inspiration.

Heroes are found in strange places.

Kinda off-topic but I used to go there a lot as a kid. Windermere and Coniston were my favourites. :) I really should go back there sometime.

A year of realising what I was I spent walking around Windermere. Heaps of triggers but nice ones for some reason and a change.

But the idea of first clear your maggots brings a bit of a smile. Do you want Port and Maggot with Cheese after dinner?
I thought so too, until it was sitting in front of me. To their defense I don't think that any of the people who I was with really expected me to try it, but they were definitely enjoying trying to watch me keep it down. Glad I tried it, not something to be repeated  by me, ever

How about potatoes?  :)

only if you kill them proper like :P ( cut up small and boiled in oil), does my dislike of them show that much?  And I group sprouts with olives and grapefruit, i dont like bitter stuff. oh and coconut, my grandma (the 'hypermelatoninated' one)  says i should be ashamed of that though >.>  .

I have a soft spot for Derwent Water, we used to go camping (well caravaning) there every year when my grandad was still around.  and Thirlmere, I'm told thats where our water comes from.

How many times were potatoes on your "dislike" list?!

You don't like coconut either?

Did you know a bosun is a boatswain?

Or that the focsle is the forecastle?

It all reminds me Worcestershire sauce.
