    This morning I had a KFC zinger tower meal for breakfast, this evening i've just polished off a masshoof plate of Chinese food - this is very unusual for me :?

    I did have a slight hangover this morning though :roll:

    Mrs itboffin ordered some Zipvit energy gels for her marathon training but when they arrived they're bloody huge :shock: they look twice the size of other brands, no use for a runner, so I tried one this morning.

    Ugh! I had to stop to take it there was so much orange wallpaper paste fluid, could very easily of caused gagging if it wasn't for my hangover :roll:

    anyway like all the zipvit stuff i've tried it does work, nasty nasty texture :?

    From that description, I think I'd prefer a hallucinatory bonk.

    Chopped up the considerable amount of left over roast beef, rolled in oil, dusted with plain flour + black pepper, sealed in a hot pan added some carrots, parsnips, celery, crushed garlic, a small leek, a selection of suitable herbs, dash of Worcestershire sauce, glass of port, two oxo cubes and three bay leaves (do they do anything?), same amount of water, cover and simmer.

    Now to go for a bike ride 2-3 hours should do it 8)

    Some peas and perhaps local mushrooms to finished, served with herb dumplings and a glass or six of claret.

  • I wondered where this thread had gone.

    Me and a few colleagues had Zebra the other day, it was on the menu so it was a total no brainer.

    A couple of the guys at work are from Africa, one SA the other Kenya, Zebras are a pest and they said that the meat is common over there.

    And before you start there was no dark or light meat option.

    Whole octopus. Interesting to prepare (!)

    - turn head inside out
    - remove various liquidy organs and ink sack
    - remove eyes and beak
    - boil for an hour

    No idea how it'll turn out, but apparently done like this it tastes a lot like lobster, which would be nice.

  • Sorry Aidan, while Octopus is nice it doesn't taste like lobster... :-(

    A good crab however, in my opinion, tastes better than most lobsters.

    Actually, it wasn't all that far off. I boiled it for an hour to tenderise it, then gave it a quick fry. Tasted like a cross between lobster and squid.

    Curry Friday.

    And before people say it should be fish on Friday, the bible is a complete work of fiction and I ain't interested.
  • Fish!

    Did you catch it yourself in the grounds of the house?

    side note - fresh caught mackerel then bbq'd within few hours are right darn tasty.
