A bag of Tayto Crisps!

I am deeply upset and shocked they changed the Tayto Bags. Ireland will never be the same again. Sad day :(

Anyone know of, or could recommend some sort of fish that doesn't taste as strong a salmon so i can get started.

Ah, serious advice...
Well I was never much of a fish lover, but am trying to be better too.
From that point of view, I'd say firstly to stay away from smoked fish, obviously, but also salmon full stop SM, even unsmoked salmon is a very fishy fish.
White fish is a better bet - cod, hake (nicest IMO), haddock, coley etc.., though it can sometimes be a bit on the bland side, and I find it can be hard to do it justice at home.
I would recommend starting off by having fish if you're out, and go from there. Would wholeheartedly recommend monkfish, seabass, or sole (you don't see so much of this any more).
Monkfish maybe best place to start as it's a big, meaty textured fish that would appeal to the greatest carnivore.
Just don't ever google a picture of one! :laugh:

Just made one of our usual Sat brunches. Mexican eggs, quesquedilla (cant spell them but can eat them!) and for my boys sausages & bacon. Yum.

I'd agree with stann on white fish, particularly cod and whiting if you were turned off by smoked salmon. Breaded fillets are lovely. If you like them, try haddock and salmon fillet, poached or just microwaved. Don't forget to try smoked salmon again later if you take to fish. Barbequed salmon is gorgeous too, just had some for my lunch!

The best type of fish comes in batter from the chipper.

Battered cod and breaded cod (at a push) is the only type of fish I'd touch, bar a bit of salmon occasionally and tuna from a tin.

Anything else is vile.

Weetabix, with milk. But that was 5 hours ago. So I think I'm feeling hungry now.

5 hours ago? Why do you eat your breakfast in the middle of the night?

Just back to work after a few days off.
I went to chipper the other night after few pints and had cod in batter with curry chip. I was surprised to how different it was to the smoked salmon (yuk). I did enjoy it but not as much as a burger. Saying that, i would try it again. Cheers.

I was up at 5.30 to start work at 6, so I grabbed a cup of tea and bowl of weetabix to get going, then suddenly it was lunch time! It seems that my night and daya roll in together.

For some reason I found myself eating chocolate covered peanuts as I was waiting for stuff to print off. I'd breakfast at 7 today but somebody will find that their remaining treats have disappeared - I've narrowed it down to 3 people, 2 I can buy off with kitkats, the third won't notice I've eaten their stash, so I just say nothing

This thread could be awkward for the Cannibal Community.

Its a sad symptom of our backward society that in 2010, people cannot batter another person unconscious, spilt open their head and feast on the goo inside.

Indeed. I wonder is there a Cannibals "Top 100 people to Devour 2010" list.

I suppose the size of the individual would be important if you wanted to "Supersize" your meal.

Resurrecting this as I've just had some Lindt Dark Chocolate with Wasabi, and I can't decide whether or not I like it.

Anybody else try it?

I've had it as well, it's bloody weeeeird! Seems to work, but it took me about a week's solid thinking before I decided it was alright.

Last thing I ate was some weetabix 8 hours ago. Hopefully the hallucinations I'm beginning to experience will give me some insight into how to get this Masters Dissertation finished!

It is weird. The more I think about it, the weirder ideas I get. I reckon it would make a hell of a sauce for duck (just add sake!) or a rocking icecream, but on is own... I'm not won over.

What's the Masters in?

Garlic-flavoured ice cream with olive oil is surprisingly amazing, I found it once at a market in France, and have been periodically craving it ever since!

The Masters is an MSc. in mechanical engineering, it's a pretty interesting project actually, and I've enjoyed it, just checking I've crossed every i and dotted every t, and all my margins line up now ready for submission, which is the least enjoyable part.

That's an icecream I'd definitely like to try.

Good luck with the finishing touches to the dissertation. I have 10 students doing the same final run-through as you (at least, I hope I do!)

Home-made brown bread. Wonderful.

Although I think I ate a fly on the way to work. Can't be too sure. It was windy.

Good God, that's something I really miss from home. All I can manage to get my paws on over here, of all breads remotely similar, is Rankin's flavourless nonsense if I can find any of it in Asda's tiny Irish section:

http://www.ocado.com/catalog/images-...5c7f60364dec24

Have you ever tried Sperrin home-made wheaten bread? You can get it in convenience stores around Lifford and Strabane. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd advise you to do so pronto. On my last flight back to Manchester from home, I dedicated 2 kilograms of my precious baggage weight allowance to the stuff.
29/08/2013, 10:34 PM
nigel-harps1954

I shall indeed have a go at that stuff when I get up around Strabane or Lifford next.

I have very high standards though when it comes to bread, so, it best be excellent.
