No it isn't.

Good that you're spelling r*SSi correctly though...

That can be.

It also obviously makes a world of difference if he knows, is comfortable with or is thinking about the context rather than switching channels to someone babbling away suddenly.

Food / Polish Potato Varieties [28]


So did half of Glasgow.
We call them potato scones (or, more often, tattie scones) here in Scotland, while our friends in Ireland call them potato farls.

The word Farl just means quarter. They're cut into quarters before serving.


No.


More common in Northern England.

They are very distant relatives. Some of your relatives married people from other countries hence their names.

Food / Polish Potato Varieties [28]


Many of us have Irish roots and Ireland is almost visible from Scotland. There's a lot of culinary overlap, especially between Northern Ireland and the Scottish Central Belt.

Potato Farls are also popular across the industrial parts of Northern England.

There are also potato pancakes which are delicious.

It exists though it's not a big thing.

Potato farls (popular in Scotland) are very nice. I could live on those and nothing else,

Wow, that's interesting.

They used to be traditional where I'm from and had a very specific use. Sometimes they turn up inside the walls of very old buildings. We call them the Hand of Glory.

I'm not a fan.

They can be ok roasted however when I see them I can't get the memory out of my head of the potato shortage in the 1970s when school dinners were serving chips made out of them.

I prefer a nice normal potato, especially waxy ones. And love Jersey Royals. Hard to think of a better type.

I read the original several days wyour online article was cribbed from.

Don't get worked up over headlines.

As I said, we're one of the world's main aerospace and defence manufacturers.

If a war starts, we're in a stronger position than mainland Europe.


This is true.

Have a sit down and a nice cup of tea.

Instead of spewing bile.

It's one of the world's main aerospace and defence manufacturers.

And the EU didn't "threaten to cut off" anything.

The article you read was about centralised planning within EU states if war broke out.

Food / Poland origin apples and rootstock [18]


I tend to go for the more acidic ones.

And also cook with apples a lot. Not just baked apples (if you've not had Friar's omelette, I recommend it) but also main courses. Chicken with apples, a bit like coq au vin, is a staple.

Not many cooking apples in Poland though that's not a problem because the sharper eating apples are often better, especially for racuchy.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [156]

[quote=Alien]boiling water is needed to brew black tea[/quote
Yes. Ideally just off the boil. Using water that's not been boiled before. And mashed (brewed) for at least two minutes.

A cup of hot water with a tiny teabag next to it is just coloured water.

Life / Grisly crimes in Poland [124]

I was collecting the "Français tout compris" ones myself, that and buying old mid nineteenth century magazines bound into books that you could buy for a few pence then.

Serial killers never appealed, especially as we'd just had the Ripper there.


It's all too easy for someone to lose their self-esteem. Weak and nasty men have been taking advantage of this for centuries if not millennia.


There's a lot that can't be said here. And is frankly better not said.

Life / Grisly crimes in Poland [124]


That's just minor stuff really.

The worry is the obsession with serial killers. I always used to worry about the people who bought those magazines about them. Part Works (the kind that came out every month and people collected them in a binder).

I suppose it's all online now. It's fine to have an interest in crimes and detection however there is to be a way to pick up on people earlier.

A kid who was several years behind me at school caused a lot of concern to social workers and teachers. One of the teachers wrote in his notes that one day this boy will kill someone. He's now in gaol for life after snapping his own baby's spine over his knee.

There used to be Mackeson's in Yorkshire. Bottles only.

I'm not a fan of cooking with any sort of beer although it can work well in a cheese sauce instead of milk.

When cooking with beer, less is more.

I'd listen to Atch rather than a recipe someone posted online that you just found.

It is, however he's young. Most serial killers, serial rapists etc start I think in their late 20s/early 30s. Good that they caught him now rather than later.

After what Pauline wrote, I can't stop thinking about his victim, what a rotten life she had.
