Post by The Moosh GraterPost by Joan ArcherDon't have meat in this house, well very rarely, the only meat John
likes or will eat is Chicken he reckons it's because he didn't grow
up eating it and yet he likes the offal, kidney's and liver.
I seem to recall Proctor and Bergman (probably) calling it "Beef
Awful". That was probably a variety of cat food. Have you tried him
on cat food?
Post by Joan ArcherHe doesn't like pork, lamb, beef or even mince so when I used to make
So he doesn't like burgers? It must be around about 1980, when I was
in Oxford Street - probably to buy a Firesign Theatre album in HMV -
that I went into Wendy's for a burger and it was such a vast
improvement over the fast food competition that when Wendy's
disappeared - no doubt because the masses prefer the waste products
of MacDonalds - I began making my own (sort of) by buying a tray of
mince, squashing it vaguely burger shape and frying it. Really it
needed the small amount of bread or whatever it is they use,
presumably as a binder. I do find it very hard to understand a meat
eater who doesn't like burgers! When I quit the stuff I switched to
Sainsbury's or Tesco's chargrilled vegeburgers because they taste
enough like beefburgers (especially with cheese, onions, ketchup,
American mustard, horseradish, lettuce and lightly toasted bread to
squash it all between!). In fact, I suddenly know what tonight's
dinner is going to be! If you remember a couple of years back (so
probably three or one) my
ruminations on the 'pickles' you smell when you walk past a Subway
(as opposed to a subway, which if anything will smell like a
telephone box), that was entirely about completing my vegeburger
concoctions. Still haven't found them, though the gerkin I was given
at the chippy in Edgware that was not simply open New Year's Day,
but where you get fish fried in matzo, which I like from time to
time, came close. Meanwhile I get the impression I'm the only
gentile in Britain who likes matzo! Though on the whole I think I
prefer batter, these days).
Post by Joan Archershepherds pie always had to make him something different, he hasn't
got any better with age either especially being diabetic and not
being allowed to eat some of the cheaper food.
We both love fish but you can't have that every day either and he's
fussy give him something a couple of times and he decides he's gone
off it grrrrrrrrrr he's just a nightmare trying to find something
different to eat everyday <g>
And you're making me feel hungry especially talking about
doughnuts, it's OK though I've got a couple of cream horns in the
fridge and a strawberry trifle yummy. <g>
You know Joan, I'm always glad to help!

Post by Mungo the InvariableI don't talk about it because someone always asks 'why' and I'm
not in it for the moralizing, but in '89, when I realized that my
sister was perfectly healthy despite not having eaten meat for
three years, I gave up the farmed variety. You'll notice the
dishes I mention that aren't, say, donuts (which I effectively
don't eat anymore anyway) involve seafood, never bits of mammal.
After a while the smell of meat becomes nauseating. Worst is what
it smells like within a couple of hundred yards of MacDonald's.
One bad one is that dish Noel was talking about the other week.
Anything pig-based is stomach churning. Beef isn't that bad
though; possibly because I used to eat raw steak (round about the
time that British beef is supposed to endow one with CJD).
The smell of (wet) cat food doesn't bother me at all, possibly
because I've never stopped dishing it out; but to me (on my head,
son!) the smell of the *dried* stuff is foul!
I'm sure a lot of people - if as many as that ever came here these
days - will think this explains much!

Post by The Great MooshtaPerhaps I should talk about tonight's dinner?
(Tagliatelle with salmon - probably with red pepper pesto out of the jar).
So how do you make Windows Me slice garlic?
Incidentally, today's moniker is to make it *really* easy for
the Government to know who the insults are from.
