Never tried haggis, or black pudding. Just 2 of the things that don't appeal to me. So, don't get me wrong I am not criticising them as I have never tried them. Enjoy it.
I am on balti chicken curry.

Another 'food' that just does not appeal is tripe. Sue's aunty loves it.

Phew. Got there in the end. Squeaky bum time at the start of the second half.

Good afternoon all.
I am now waiting at Las Palmas airport. The flight is on time and has just landed.
Our departure time is 17.50.

1100 runners at Poole parkrun this morning, and a new course record of 14:10 😮. Mrs Tkk and I were bimbling around Upton country park at a far more sedate pace and far less busy.

Not had Haggis for a long time,use to go out for Burns Night, haven't done that in years, well before covid

Yes but black pudding is just dried blood mixed with fat (I think).

True. Not as much fat as I recall, as a boy, it used to have nice chunky (and tasty) chunks of fat embedded in it, as I recall. Probably not good for your arteries, but, it did taste good.

The modern stuff is probably healthier, but, although still tasty, not nearly as tasty as it used to be. 😊

Afternoon all.
Mmm on the scale of things of things I dislike , black or white pudding is fine now and then as part of a fried breakfast .
Running on the other hand is something I have an irrational dislike of. Don’t get me wrong I admire anyone that does it and I enjoy watching it as a sport, but I’ve never got over my dislike enough to do it.
If all goes back to being 11 and having to do cross country at secondary school, at that time I was short for my age and weighed 10 stone which meant I was last every time for years 😂. It doesn’t even help that in my last year there I still weighed 10 stone and was at least a foot and a half taller and was comfortable finishing in the mid field .
My dislike of running was set for ever . 😀
