I'm not sure l would eat mass-produced dog food; it looks and smells yucky! 😕 

Back in the 60's H&G made a fresh dog food. "Supremo" by name, I recall there was a fad in Douglas pubs for eating a tub at the bar for a dare/wager.😋

Isn't burger a contraction of Hamburger relating to a German 'beef patty'? Americans have further used it to describe minced beef in any form? It's convenient for us to refer to the shape as being any content but the French win out with their term 'patie', probably many years older than the German use?

A wise caterer[Don Slee] once told me that "Hamburger" is actuall "Hamburg Steak" a skit on the poor folk of Hamburg, likewise a "Vienna Steak" made with fillet steak, was about the wealthy Viennese who could use the finest cuts as mince. A bit like Glasgow caviar--mince and taties.

It's like you've read my post and somehow completely missed the point of it. 

Probably the meat.

As you missed mine and started the guilt tripping and ignorant meat eater nonsense, my query was and is, why pretend vegetarian products are as meat ones, say it as it is Vegetable Lasagne, not pretend meat sauce lasagne.

I do like Vegetable lasagne and curry , why pretend that it is actually like meat ?

Vegetarian food in proper vegetarian restaurants is normally excellent, and ignorant meatheads who look down on it because it isnt a dead cow are utterly stupid.

When cooking with meat, the flavour is in the fat. This allows chefs to be lazy and unambitious. Cooking professionally without meat requires intelligence and effort, to create the flavours.

 

It could also be a dead little lamb, delicious, could you do ersatz little lamb made with wonderful veggies?.

A veggie burger is to a real burger what camp coffee is to bean coffee, why bother, it's bogus

To be vegetarian is a noble thing, and if presenting food as a meat substitute promotes such consumption then there's the reasoning right there. 

I see nothing noble in it at all, and imho the reasoning is vague, making no sense at all but to the afficondos. Why pretend it's meat when it isnt?  Vegetaian sausage should be labelled " processed vegatables the same shape as a real sausage"

How is it that veggies are so great, that so much effort is made to make them taste and look like meat products?  🤔

Ooo, this sirloin steak could easily be processed to look and taste like Ratatouille, said no one of my aquaintance 😖

I should have written [Rtd] after Electrician, but  but i ran out of laths.🤔

Thats it back home, with a friend for company. see you in another 90 years 🙄

I have, this day, replaced it, with one of mine alongside, fotees to come later👍

I hope this may scratch an itch for some, I posted this today on facebook, Manx Nostalgia, it is genuine and the Family of Henry Minay seem well pleased with the find.

I hope you enjoy.

Okee dokee, For my sins, I was this morn, removing laths from a wall within a house on Somerset Road, a Creer Bros build, sold on in 1933. As i slowly progressed I spotted an anomoly, as it was revealed it turned out to be a little wooden "Plaque" shaped from an offcut of lath.

I popped it off, fotees below, coming up for 93 years in place .

I shall replace it where I found it, it would be rude not to.   I shall add my own little lath plaque also.

Word is that Vladimir has sold Pizza Napoli, he put a lot into establishing it, he beat the covid slump but price inflation has forced his exit,

I enjoyed The Samphire in that location, I did though find it freezing in winter, when the main door was used the draught would cut you, a Summer visit is the best.

The ghost of Trevor Baines has been reported in the vicinity of  "Dirty Lill's"  🤥

I do miss a plain loaf.  A denser bread was never seen - and the perfect size and shape for lorne sausage (better not start that argument again!).

M&S do a scots plain loaf, my teuchter pals swear by it 😋

Manx ies---Fish and a split

Scots---- Fish supper

UK's---Fish chips and peas.

All the same dish 😋

The great 2 Ronnies made it easy for us 😁

I'd be sent to Curtis's on the terrace for Skate backs; what remained after the wings were separated for sale. An old sixpence covered it. Brought to the boil then simmered in a pan for 15 minutes, with just enough water to cover. Still plenty of flesh and cartilage on them. The downside being the stench which endured for a couple of days thereafter. Both the cat and dog lived long lives.

Doesn't raw meat contain traces of antibiotics and hormones which are basically removed by cooking? Always avoided giving my animals raw stuff for that reason. Wild rabbit being the only exception once I'd removed the buckshot. 

Bid you ever get Skate knobs?, the cheeks of the skate, quite nice, look a little like tan rogans, Cods heads were a great source of clean white codmeat, bone free, used by our lot to make cod rissoles [fishcakes] to die for 😋

That is the old Clague's tripe dressers premises.  Cow heel salad anyone? 

Running a drug network from Jurby gaol ? sounds like the very man to improve our airports management 🤔

Maybe worth a look at Panorama before we get a repeat of the power station fiasco, Wind farms, the new monorails 🤔

From Panorama prog.

Thurrock Council effectively bankrupt. Services are being cut and council tax raised to try to cover the second biggest deficit ever run up by a local authority. Most of the council's cash was invested in one man's business. Liam Kavanagh promised his solar farms would provide a safe return, but his companies have been wound up and the council faces big losses

The areas that our old tourist base left for are still offering better everything including cost, where will our hoped for "New" tourists come from and where will they stay, not tents surely ?

The lady on the bicycle, a gender reasignment I wonder🤔
