Years ago, our firm sold flour to a renowned firm (who do make exceedingly good Christmas puddings). They were wanting to sell to the USA and all the ingredients had to pass FDA standards including the flour. Now all flour has a certain amount of impurities. You can always find a mouse hair or something if you try and the FDA rejected the sample we provided on some such pretext. The answer was to import American flour and certify its use in the product. Problem solved.<br />When we tested the American flour, we found it contained rather a higher proportion of impurities than our own but the Americans were satisfied. Haggis makers might try importing American ingredients to overcome the problem.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-46766155434022124362011-01-26T11:58:00.863+00:002011-01-26T11:58:00.863+00:00See, I told you....

Honestly I'm not sure what economic benefit might actually accrue to Scotland by lifting that sheep's lungs ban. It's a much better bet to just send more prime cuts of your Aberdeen Angus beef to America. BTW, the 1/3 pound Angus Deluxe burger at that fine old Scottish food establishment, MC'Donalds, is quite good.<br /><br />Click on the illustration here and look at this baby full screen: (No wonder American cuisine is the envy of the world....LOL.)<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_burger<br /><br />I do take your point about it being a bit wimpy to avoid sheep's lungs. Nevertheless, the American palate may not quite be ready for sheep lung containing haggis IMHO.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450203101640592230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-77988409374177990062011-01-25T12:51:17.703+00:002011-01-25T12:51:17.703+00:00Gideon's economy!

That was a bit of a rant.<br /><br />I think thjey managed to get through the togetherness thing so quickly because they have the Blumdums onboard.<br /><br />Now what could be more upsetting to the Tores than to have to give up seats in teh Cabinet to accommodate these lefty chappies. <br /><br />Little Willie would have been Deputy Prime Minister as well as the Foreign, Commonwealth and Empire bloke, if it hadn’t been for Clegg. Now he has to settle for First Secretary... just like Labour’s Dark Lord. And he’s just one example.<br /><br />Of course David Davies was a bad enemy to make, because although his presentation was miles behind Call Me’s, he is far cleverer, and wanted to be prime minister. Then there’s the Redwood and Tebbits and... they were at war by the time the ministers had been announced.<br /><br />It never takes governments too long before some tube who can’t keep his trousers round his waist appears and makes them look debauched. It’s a pity it was a big figure (in all ways) this time. Labour had Robin Cook (yes, every bit as unbelievable) and of course Blunkett, and talking of another BIG and equally unbelievable Casanova, John Prescott!!!! Honest, they way they moan that they have to work so hard, you’d think they wouldn’t have any time for playing away from home.<br /><br />And I thought it would be Teresa May...oh well...hey ho...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-68956181657780140372011-01-24T15:01:15.759+00:002011-01-24T15:01:15.759+00:00how do you know she has milky thighs?

We can all fall about laughing at their ludicrous comments and stupid situations that they get themselves into. It is quickly beginning to feel like it did during the reign on John Major...so clearly Cameron is going to be a John Major not a Margaret Thatcher or a Ted Heath. Odd that as I would only have thought you could only get to a big dumb ass like Major by going through a protracted “revolution” like the Thatcher era (where all the bits of the Tories fall out among themselves).<br /><br /><br />I see that “call me”, Gideon, Lord Baldermort, wee Wullie, Baroness von-whatshername, the pickled egg and shagger Strathclyde (oh and Cleggums the pet Toy) are rolling the revolution aspect up with the silly bastard bits to save a bit of time and money and giving us it all in one big regurgitated lump.

Vegan haggis <3 I actually always preferred the veggie ones, because they're a bit lighter and you can gobble down more of them before feeling bloated, and they taste just as good if not better :)<br /><br />On the other subjects though, it's worth noting how the murders are spun. In England, it's 'oh gosh how could this happen in Merry Olde Englande?! In Northern Ireland, it was automatically reported that it might have paramilitary connections... because that's the generic line of investigation for obvious reasons. Once those leads went nowhere, it would drop out of the news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
