The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
I can't believe that nobody has mentioned pickled onions yet. I have come up with an idea for a version of a scotch egg but instead of the egg use a pickled onion inside the sausage meat (or between two burgers if you don't have any sausage meat to hand. Shape into a kind of egg shape and coat in breadcrumbs if posh or wrap some sliced bread around it if not. Scotch Pickled Onion. Alternatively leave out the sausage meat and bread and just eat an entire jar of pickled onions.
As a special treat there is of course the one I remember vividly from my childhood...... Attend large family gathering at some point over Christmas...Invite Oldest Child at said gathering (assuming you are not the parent but perhaps as in my case - the Grandma/Grandpa) to have 'a proper Grown Up drink because it is Christmas'. Give said child a large slug of Advocaat (possibly even a snowball). Hand child back to parents to take home at end of evening, together with a bucket or washing up bowl for the car journey for good measure. That's known as the Pickled Young'Un. I think I was about 9 the first and only time I experienced it....
Advocaat! Was that the gloopy yellow stuff? My mum always had a bottle at Christmas. With lemonade- a snowball? Bloody awful. How was that ever thought to be good?
I didn't have that experience, but my sister did have something similar with cherry brandy (bleurgh) when she was 11 ish
