I couldn't agree more.
Here, Here.
I'm sure I've said that before at some point some where else,
I wonder if my bad memory is due to eating lead based paint? :?

How can you remember eating it if that's the case?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

It just makes me feel icky - like when my husband tells me how his Mum used to cook pigs' tails  :x  

It's silly, if you are going to eat one part of an animal, then why not eat everything that's edible....

but I'm so glad I'm vegetarian :D

You look away now!














Now you are bringing memories back, pig's tales, oh, lovely savoury jellies , very traditional for New Year's supper with trotters, ears, etc, gorgeous.

Gobs, I read it --- ears? :shock:  How do you cook an ear?

Pigs' trotters are eaten in Ireland, they're called crubeens, though I've never had them.

When I was a kid I used to eat sugar sandwiches and if I had any "soldiers "left over from my boiled egg I used to dip them in the sugar bowl :oops:
Oh for those halcyon days of England long ago
