When people mention black pudding I just think dried blood with lumps of fat in.
Yes, lovely, hard to get the “real” stuff now, with big bits of fat in it.

Food likes and dislikes are strange aren't they.
I have never (and never will) eat black pudding or tripe.
As a kid my family was poor. Saturday night would often be a sheep's head. The full head on the table, we ate the brain, tongue and all the flesh, euk.
@Mo1959 I know you did your first bike ride the other day after a long break. How did it go for you?
The reason I ask is that I finally got out today after an extremely long break (since my knee injury last summer) and I was astonished how slow I was.
It was cold and windy but my average speed over the course (17.84 miles and 1092' ascent) was only 9.8mph!!! And the last couple of miles was a real slog. I also spent 30 mins approx' in Z5 which is pretty telling.
Happy that I finally got out and that my long-standing knee injury and, more recent, shoulder injury did not play up. Although for some reason my forearms hurt!
I have been active all winter (working around the shoulder injury) on the turbo, treadmill and multi-gym and I am wondering how much they contributed to today's performance? How bad would it have been if I hadn't done all that exercise?
I have planned a 20-miler for Thurs and will see how I get on.
Maybe I was expecting too much at my age and a long lay-off.
Head wear on the last page.Thanks
not sure those dresses are in my size
I think that maybe me turning up to The Wedding wearing a while slip dress might be thought as distracting attention from the Bride
maybe???
I will inform my wife but as we are off out for dinner for her birthday in a bit and after that the auction will be over
the price reduction does say a lot about the price markup on dresses!
Just been out shopping
SWMBO is very fussy abotu bread (and otehr things - there is a list!!) and like it very fresh
which is a problem as I don;t eat normal bread anymore
so I have been getting her Warbutons Toastie - the small version
but she keeps complaining that it feels and tastes stale when she is about half way through it
so I thought we could try M&S and see if they have one that might last better and the same size
to my surprise their normal white bread is actually cheaper than Warburtons from Tesco
which feels weird
so we now have a list of thing we get from M&S
Posh or WHAT!!!
We always put bread in the freezer we don’t eat a lot of bread so it keeps well in the freezer.
It never tastes the same out of a freezer.Yes - I get my bread in lots of 6 at a time - as it is on prescription
and I put them all in the freezer and I am fine with that
My wife is very sensitive to taste at such like and if bread has been frozen and defrosted then it seems stale to her
which is a problem - if I could freeze it them I would butshe is a painit won;t work for her
anyway - seems like she likes the M&S bread - first I have found that she prefers to Warbutons as normal day-to-day bread
and it's cheaper!!
