    found a very lonely wilted little cauli' on the "eat now or die shelf".....so i took it home cat the dead leaves off it and put it in a bowl of water overnite

    in the morning ......"it lives Egor ...it lives Egor"

    added colmans mustard powder to the sauce ...extra cheese (somerset mature)...and extra cheese on top with loads of bread crumb ...which made it nice and crunchy

    (in the old days i would have had a bloody great pork chop with a kidney in it on the side)

    I tried to get a few late entries in marsh man, last week. I was told they were not taking anymore but are holding another "Guns at Noon in June, such is the demand.

     

    I lived in Branston , just outside Lincoln in the mid eighties. He was a legend and a fantastic champion shot. Very well run business , always a pleasure to visit the gunshop.

    I agree, always seems to work for me, if in the right place or tree.

    Same spot as last week but slightly different angle as the wind had changed a bit.

    I'd never heard of that, is this what you do - presumably on the hob: 

    1. Start a campfire and let it burn down to hot coals.
    2. Fill a clean pot or kettle with water and place it directly on the coals.
    3. Once the water is hot but not boiling, add coarsely ground coffee directly into the pot. Use about 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water.
    4. Let the coffee steep in the hot water for a few minutes, then remove the pot from the fire.
    5. Allow the coffee grounds to settle to the bottom of the pot before pouring the coffee into cups

    yup ..thats the kiddy

    Yes, not much more like coffee than Camp but in a different way 😬

    My taste did graduate to Nescafe Gold blend in my teens, now I grind my Sumatra Mandheling Coffee Beans for the first hit of the day 😲

    i do "hobo" ugandan coffee or coffee bags now

    Cheesy beans are a bit of an institution within the Royal Engineers, all Sappers going through training know of the warming and cheap meal served at the Jackson club in Gibraltar barracks, the club is a charity, SASRA "the soldiers and sailors scripture readers association" and the cheesy beans are legendary.

    now i could eat that.....the other stuff posted looks like slop...:good:

    urhg! but I am mostly veggie

    Our family and my grandparents had Camp coffee in the 50s and 60s, it was drinkable but didn't taste much like proper coffee - (Nescafe and later - "Mellow Birds")

    mellow birds was utter filth

    Ditch , a very nice gun .  I thought the  side by side prices at the last auction were extremely low. I expect them to be the same this time round.

    I've bought quite a few guns from there, including a 16 bore SxS by T Clough of Kings Lynn, I was born in King's Lynn so simply had to buy it. T Wild are very nice especially at the kind of price you paid ! Well done.       

    a couple of gunsmiths working for Wild are to have said went to ..work for Purdey........that is why there are similaraties between some Purdey's and some Wilds....
