They don't look so dangerous! :D But people still kill them! :eek: :rolleyes: ;) :thumbsup:



You have lots of wild mental stuff down under mate! :eek: :D Polecats (all types) will have a go at anything. I don't think that's bravery, I think it's because of their small brains! A bit like the officer class of the British Empire! :rolleyes: "Don't worry lads, the 20,000 Zulus charging at us are sure to turn-tail when they see the quality of the gold-braiding on my tunic!" :rolleyes: :D :thumbsup:

I had to laugh a that one, Jack. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

But for every Chelmsford, there was some examples of that Lt. Chard that seemed to know what they were about.
 
I used to put HP Sauce on my doner kebabs in Ladbroke Grove.
I should get some and compare it to A1 Steak Sauce.

I have to say, I haven't had HP sauce since I was a kid! :D I doubt you can get it on Ladbroke Grove anymore mate, that area has been gentrified out of all recognition! :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

I really like HP sauce. I have a big love for steak sauces (though I almost never use it on an actual piece of meat, I like it on potatoes for breakfast mainly. And occasionally on a burger, or as an ingredient in the burger mix), and HP is one that I always have on hand. In flavor I would say that it is somewhere in between A1 and Heinz 57. It is sweeter than A1, but definitely less sweet than Heinz 57. It is a fairly versatile sauce that can add a little zesty complexity to dishes.

Listen, you guys that get all that rain, ya think you could bottle up some it and ship over here to Central Texas? We've got a heck of a drought going on, and we'd appreciate it. :(

Be careful what you wish for; I know how big rains like to turn to floods in the central hill country. Hopefully you get a good soaker soon.
 
I thought it funny (but not surprising) that they offer HP Sauce on the Vegas Strip, at Nine Fine Irishmen in New York New York.
 
Lol my Dad tells a story about a guy he worked with. Apparently he'd never been down outta the hills, but eventually went on a trip to see some relatives in Georgia I think. When my Dad was talking to him when he got home he eventually mentioned seeing a funny looking animal that he didn't know what is was. My Dad lived in Louisiana as a kid(army brat) so asked him to describe it. He said "Well Bob, best as I could call it, it was a re-capped possum" Good description of a armadillo I think lol.
 
I spent most of my teen years in Bolivia about 15 kilometers west of the Brazilian border. They have a slightly different version of armadillo than is found in the U.S. Anyway, we would remove the shell from the critter and prop it up with the inside facing the coals of the campfire. When properly roasted the meat could be pealed off the inside of the shell and i kid you not, it was delicious.
 
Nowadays we're to soft I reckon, my great grand parents lived thru the depression. My great granddad told my " Boy, if'n its got feathers or fur you can eat it" and I remember my great grandmother telling a girl cousin of mine about horses or mules "Why if'n a horse was killed or died natural, there laid a 900 pounds of meat, you think we let that jest go to ruin?" My cousin had read about some culture that ate horses and it was gross lol

I've had deep pit burro before, it was pretty good. I've tasted horse too, it was really sweet.
My Dad and Grandpa would eat all of the "nasty" parts of the cow, including the brains and the tongue. Nothing went to waste. I've tried both the brains and the tongue growing up... Never again!
