When my daughter was about 8 or 9 she had some friends in the local sea scout troop. So, she wanted to go and see about joining, too.

 

A visit to the club rooms, looking at the signs, hearing the early part of the intro by the leader. She was out ..

 

Not putting up with any of that god stuff, or queen stuff, or the silly uniform stuff,  always has been strong willed.

I know what you mean, my 45 yr old daughter scares me, she is one of those social work/ welfare gurus.

Scouts is coed now and much less emphasis on the queen and none on God.

Black Pudding is available at one of our local IGA's made by British Sausage Co in Australia.  Coles and Woolworths may have it it too, they have a range of British Sausage products.  I have tasted ye olde black pudding in UK and on the P&O UK ships, edible, just.   A British breakfast delicacy.

I haven't been game to try it.

Negative on the black pudding Uncle Les. I don't do Haggis either.

Slice it and fry it, tastes just like chicken Lyle.  White pudding is also popular in some parts of UK, not seen it in Straya.  You need to cruise with P&O UK, or Cunard or Fred Olsen, to get a taste of such delicacy, kippers for breakfast too, like those.  As for Haggis, tried that in Scotland, I almost vomited.

It is an acquired taste, but I have not acquired it.

Now that is a real 2 course meal, Lyle, sausage roll for starter and meat pie for main, but where are the mushy peas old son? sneaky, upon further examination I detect 2 sausage rolls.  But not a drop of sauce to be found.

Where is the "Dead Horse"?

[Blackduck59]

Haven't brought myself to the mushy peas yet Les. My lovely wife got the sausage rolls at a local bakery, I bought the pie at a well known Vancouver Island grocery chain. They are made at their in house commercial kitchen.

No dead horse by By The Bay, I'm saving that particular delicacy for my trip down under.

I ate it cold, should have heated it, the bottom crust was a little smushy.

[Blackduck59]

I think I will see if I can find a decent pasty and some samosas for next week lunches

4 litres of tomatoey goodness.

Docker 123, that much ketchup (red sauce) would last a very long time in our house. Lynn can't eat tomatoes and I use ketchup sparingly. We used to use Heinz but they closed their Canadian plant and the clown who resembles an orange decided to start a trade war with everyone, so being good Canadians we now use made in Canada French's brand Ketchup.

My grandfather was a butcher and evidently made really good black pudding (according to my older cousins). My dad didn’t like black pudding even though he was the butcher’s son so we never had it at home, hence I have never tried it.

The pie top looks nice and flakey. Would have been better heated and crisp  the bottom.

I've never particularly liked black pudding but had some in both Ireland and the UK some years ago that was.much milder in taste than what my ex used to get in NZ. I think we also had white pudding at least once and that was OK. Still, I won't be rushing out to buy it.

Or a true seven course meal, a six pack and a pie.

Uncle Les (or anyone else) can have my black pudding.

Named for the rosella parrot.

Most of the Heinz products in oz, like sauce, beans, Are now made in nz by Heinz/Wattie. So you can eat them when you get to Aus/NZ, no worries Lyle.

This is the red sauce at our house, good Canadian product. I use it on chips and my breakfast spuds...never on eggs

Breakfast spuds? Not hash browns, you mean like fried potatoes?  Looks like a decent drop Lyle.
