Split it with hubby and he felt the same way, so we tossed it in the nearest garbage can. I've come to the conclusion that I simply do not like commercial British sausages because I hate the flavor and texture that filler (bread/oatmeal) gives it. 2. Robert Irvine used Scottish Eggs for a caveman themed restaurant (the cave part was not his idea) in Restaurant Impossible and called them dinosaur eggs. It was a hit with the kids. I thought they looked good enough to try sometime, but I don't deep fry - so it will have to be a restaurant item for me. You know I love Yorkshire Pudding and serve it every Christmas. Bubble & Squeak was my DD's favorite dish as a child. I also love your version of Toad in the Hole (which I make with Italian sausage) that has apples and onions in it. I even liked *real* mushy peas. They tasted just like split green peas to me (but not soupy). All they needed was a little salt & pepper and they were fine. I do NOT like black pudding or blood sausages and not for the reason you think - I don't like the seasoning. To begin: there's way too much of it. IOW (particularly true for rfc): we've heard of them even if we haven't had the opportunity to try them ourselves and form a personal opinion. There are lots of things I'm neutral on, like Marmite. It's not awful, but it's not anything I'd buy and take home either. -- sf |

They demanded a certain size and uniformity to potatoes that would then be processed into french fries. McDonald's Influence on the Food System https://www.stopcorporateabuse.org/our-food-system How McDonald's single-handedly changed potato farming When McDonald’s began, it was buying potatoes from 175 local farms. But for founder Ray Kroc, this was much too inefficient. He wanted to monopolize the supply, and he wanted a uniform potato. He chose one supplier, JR Simplot, which built enormous potato farms -- based upon unsustainable farming practices that delivered a potato suitable for McDonald's much-hyped uniform fries. Traditionally, potatoes are “dryland” farmed – which means their size, shape, and texture change with the seasonal weather. To grow the potatoes McDonald's required, Simplot needed to irrigate its fields. This not only requires an intensive use of water, but also enormous amounts of energy to transport the water. And as year after year, potatoes are grown in the same fields (or "monocropped"), soil degrades, causing more chemicals and fertilizers to be carried into rivers and streams through the irrigation runoff. The result? A devastating cycle of pollution and environmental degradation. But, it works for McDonald's. Simplot's methods crushed the competition. It is now one of the largest privately owned corporations in the world. Today, Simplot will contract with potato growers who irrigate their fields and deliver potatoes with a uniform length, appearance, and color. Because of the enormous scope and influence of Simplot, chances are that the potato you buy from the grocery store or eat at a restaurant is the same potato that McDonald’s uses for its fries. -- sf |

This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor of Veterans Today. In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3) ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took office. |
