57.5 Degrees of Pain Nov 2023 7:50pm, 22 Nov 2023 14,921 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I've had a letter today. It mentions bowel screening. I thought you'd appreciate knowing. Are we back to discussing Andouillette?
57.5 Degrees of Pain Nov 2023 7:53pm, 22 Nov 2023 14,922 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Here's another food related memory from my youth, is this a theory held by anyone else's parents? If we had fish there was always a piece of bread on the side. So if you got a fish bone caught in your throat you could swallow a wad of bread to dislodge it.

57.5 Degrees of Pain Nov 2023 7:58pm, 22 Nov 2023 14,923 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain A few years later I did get a fish bone thoroughly impaled in my tonsil. In a beach hut on the east coast of Zanzibar with no electricity. With no bread. Early in our relationship, my girlfriend had to remove it by torchlight, overcoming a significant gag reflex. She later became a doctor and stuck around as my wife.

If in luck, griesmeel pudding with cherry sauce after. Our Dutch relatives would send us assorted chocolate treats for Xmas including (excuse the spelling/ memory) melkchocoladehagel. Amazing how exotic chocolate sprinkles seemed in mid 70s Glasgow.

I shall ask the lass at the deli counter next time I'm in Cranston's whether I can have some haggis legs for making stock, and take the risk that she'll laugh at me and say they give them away for dog chews. In Orkney they domesticate wild haggis. They can stand in a flat field with short legs towards the wind so they are braced against the regular gales.
