Sprouts are my favourite veggie Kemps. Boiled to soften them up a bit with butter on, and roast potatoes...perfect with a well stuffed goose.
Just seen an advert for a new cheddar cheese. Called Tickler!!! No one was cheesier than Tickler. I'll have to get some in.
A literary Tickler reference: from Dickens's Great Expectations. "Mrs. Joe has been out a dozen times, looking for you, Pip. And she's out now, making it a baker's dozen." "Is she?" "Yes, Pip," said Joe; "and what's worse, she's got Tickler with her." At this dismal intelligence, I twisted the only button on my waistcoat round and round, and looked in great depression at the fire. Tickler was a wax-ended piece of cane, worn smooth by collision with my tickled frame. "She sot down," said Joe, "and she got up, and she made a grab at Tickler, and she Ram-paged out. That's what she did," said Joe, slowly clearing the fire between the lower bars with the poker, and looking at it: "she Ram-paged out, Pip."
Mrs Archer does sprouts with bacon and walnuts, boiled till semi soft (the sprouts) and then fried together. It's well good.
They aren't pickled until they reach my gin soaked insides. I've never had them either, pickled onions aside though I do like stuff in vinegar. Eggs, chorizo (try it)....
I've not read this thread. I've bought my four year old a furby connect. I guess this is my suicide note.
