So you liked the taste of it.markie said:I used to like black pudding when i was younger untill someone said it was pigs blood
Never had it since.
Then you found out what it was made of, and all of a sudden you didn't like the taste? How can knowing the ingredients affect the flavour?
That's just plain daft.
I don't think that pigs trotters, calves feet, lamb shanks etc count as offal.Gary_M said:mlb3c said:

Don't know about disgusting, but sounds very odd - pickled herring is already cooked - doesn't need any more. Would have thought a pressure cooker would disintegrate it..Freddie said:
Noooo - nice.Moz said:
Rollmops, soused herring, soused mackerel - all lovely.

Some old ladies are like that.Moz said:
Pig's trotters though - lovely to eat.
As for cooking smells, don't complain about anything until you've used blachan...
And I'll bet you've never had chips that tasted as good...toffee said:
Certainly getting harder to find good stuff, that's for sure.dg123 said:
If you want the sort that disintegrates when you fry it, try any supermarket...
Why "gross"? Fair enough if you don't like them, but they aren't gross.Brightness said:

No BAS in those days you didnt buy pickled herring-you made it, and with my mom being a Scotty things were done the right way just like her porrige stuff that you cant ever dream to make, she also used to use milk when doing hake and other fish like that.
As regards pigs feet, my old man used to love em, also in a pressure cooker and he used to eat chicklins ( pigs intestines ) but the best has to be a little ditty passed down from his el;ders which was a raw egg in sherry with a drop of vinegar in the morning.
This i always wondered about cause i now see that some people claim that vinegar is supposed to be very good for you, the brewed type of course which is basically wine thats gone off.
Sorry, B-A-S but the smell makes me feel really ickie
How is your wife? Did she come home? Is she feeling any better?
How is your wife? Did she come home? Is she feeling any better?
Yes, and yes, but still not feeling 100%. She was quite ill last week, and it'll take a while. Her next (and last ) chemo is scheduled for Friday, but I'm beginning to wonder...
) chemo is scheduled for Friday, but I'm beginning to wonder...Oh bless her. Hope she continues to get her strength back. Try not to worry too much if they can't do her chemo on Friday.
A lady I used to work with was diagnosed with breast cancer about 10 mths ago. She had her final chemo rescheduled about 4 times due to illness but then she finally picked up and had it in November. Thankfully, she's now been told that she needs no more and is on the mend
Can your wife take vitamins and things to try and boost her immune system or have they advised against it? (Just thinking it might stop her getting any more colds or whatever that pull her down again).

They are going to prescribe her a jab which will be very helpful in that regard - she has it 48-72 hours after the chemo. I think it's fairly new, whatever it is - according to her chemo nurse, 95% of people end up needing it, and he thinks that eventually it will become part of the standard protocol.
I like black pudding, which is rather supprising considering I'm quite a fussy eater.
Reading ban's story reminded me of something I read on another forum... student house, mix of students including a girl of asian orgin she ate it raw with custard, obviously having never encountered it before and not realising it was not 'pudding' in the usual sense of the word
Apparently she was quite ill for a few days

That's good. It obviously contains all the essential minerals/vitamins she will need to help her through it all.
It's also heartening to hear that survival rates have improved massively in the last ten years
