Pie! I never realised you'd come here!
I usually ask Monnie because of her dual nationality. Now I know I have an additional translator

Esp the ones with hair on.

Yes, I was there in April of 2006. My father was undergoing 'compassionate use' cancer treatment at Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

We had a chance to look around a bit, but weren't there for very long. Sometime we will have to come back and do a proper tour!

Reminds me of MMMmm... roasted pig skin! Gramma always cooked her hams skin on; she called the crispy crunchity skin "scuda" (sp? Maybe it's a Polish thing?) and we always gobbled up the skin first. OMG. Soooo. good.

I even like scrapple. If it's made right. (Spent too much time in the south, what can I say?)

But I will NOT eat burgoo. No no nonono nononononoooo.

Cracklin cornbread. Great if made with home made Cracklins. I'm guessing that scapple is what we call hoghead cheese here?

Heh. I spent some time in Tennessee, a little shitsplat town called Bell Buckle, where I first encountered burgoo. It's basically a "whatever you got" stew - beef, mutton, chicken, whatever's at hand - but in the rural south, they make it out of whatever they can shoot. Usually squirrel (and you have to include the brains; that's important), sometimes possom, raccoon, crow, rabbit.

Now, I'm not prejudiced. If people wanna eat squirrel brain stew, more power to 'em. I'm just not gonna go there with 'em, is all.

My sometimes food lately is pretty terrible and I've been loath to post it here, because it's become an almost every day food for me, and it's not even supposed to be food!

I don't know if you have Milo where you live, but we do here. As a kid, we'd always try and put as much milo in the glass and then the milk so there'd be crunchy bits on top.

Well, these days, I bypass the whole idea of crunchy bits on top, and reverse the the amounts of milk to milo ratio. So basically, I fill the glass with milo and just wet it with milk and eat it with a spoon.

This has been my one real craving during this pregnancy, and I'm not proud of it, and it's going to have to stop when the baby comes or I'll turn into a porker (pardon the pun). Thankfully I still haven't put on any weight to speak of, so I've gotten away with it. I don't see that lasting though.

This stuff?

What the heck is it? Is it like Nestle's Quik or ovalteen?

Aliantha · 03-09-2009, 08:33 PM

Yeah...it's kind of like ovalteen but so so much better.

Pico and ME · 03-09-2009, 08:36 PM

I like thin spaghetti smothered with grated Parmesan cheese and then mic'ed until the cheese gets bubbly and crispy.

Aliantha · 03-09-2009, 08:38 PM

I've noticed through the course of this thread, that there's really not much nutritional value to any of these types of foods. lol

But that's the point darlin'!
We're so health conscious on here (ahem) that we eat nasty foods in moderation, not all the time.

DanaC · 03-10-2009, 06:36 AM

I eat nasty foods as standard and healthy food in moderation...

Sundae · 03-10-2009, 06:45 AM

That's why you're so nasty :p
