Thread

On XFM (London alternative radio station) this morning Alex Zane was discussing the increase of squirrel as a ‘green’ food product in the UK. Who is having squirrel for lunch today?

Don’t know if you remember them as well Simon or whether they still make them or not but I remember “when I were a lad” that there used to be Hedgehog flavoured crisps at one point. What I want to know is how the he** did anyone know what Hedgehog tasted like. Surely they didn’t scrape some roadkill up and try it did they?!! 😉

Hey, I was just quoting Wikipedia. Given the tone of the article, and the list of edits, it will change soon enough, I’m sure.

Was only kidding about the offensive part hence the 😊 big smiley 😊 😉 😊

Best wishes,

Found ‘em!!

Hedgehog flavoured crisps

Proof that I wasn’t just making it all up. Wish I was though.

Very very weird!!

I thought you were kidding, but i just saw it’s been mentioned in the mainstream media over here as well. There’s even an aticle in the Guardian.

Oh great now we’re going to kill of the grey squirrel too. Did we not have enough of killing off the red squirrel already?

Seems to be an interesting battle going on in that Wikipedia thread! Over most of the UK pants is short for Underpants - which describes the garment worn under ones pantaloons. Trousers derives from from the early Middle English trouse.

Now I have just been all sensible and I am not meant to be doing that this week. So to lower the tone slightly try this. At the next party you are at go up to a crowd of ladies and pull the linings out of your trouser (or pantaloon) pockets - then say to the girls - do you want to see my elephant impression?

Do you want to see my elephant impression?

Now that’s just naughty!!! 😉

THESE are pants.

I see a pocket, but I wouldn’t keep money in it.

A moneymaker, maybe…

Today I have mostly had a beetroot and smoked mackerel salad, with couscous, mixed leaves and cherry tomatoes. It was from Waitrose and reasonably priced. Oily fish are good for you so now I can offset that by doing something naughty this weekend. Splendid.

Wow that sounds like some healthy stuff, but how do you smoke a mackerel salad?
