Have you tried the Marag fudge on the pick and mix counter at Stornoway Woolworths?

Did you know that the mobile butchers in the island use that creme that everyone has been queing for at Boots to keep their sausages looking fresh. Donald uses Anusol pile cream to keep fish looking fresh though the supermarket manager doesn't know this.

carol from feelig peeky
It was on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news Carol so it must be true: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/6704109.stm Thought the guga were looking particularly fresh this year Calum.

I heard it on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ national news on Radio 4. Must have been a slow news day... They sound revolting! "Quite sweet", the presenter said. Sweet sausages!

I'm lost. My imagination does not go so far, or at least so fast. Not on a Thursday, anyway.

Annie b, in the north east of england one favourite sausage is made from pork meat, leeks and newcastle brown ale, some people like them some don,t but after you have eaten four links who cares, babies are weaned on them from six months of age along with brown ale bread

There's a lot of information for the doubters and disbelievers on a fantastic website that invites readers to, 'Find out the latest goings on in the world of sausages' http://sausagefans.com/newsarticle.php?id=32

what will be the next food craze?? i thought i'd heard it all after the deep fried mars episode,but this sounds pure revolting!!
carol from in disbelief
carol. i agree ,the brown ale saugage and brown ale bread do sound revolting but they taste lovely ,the ale gives the bread a nice malty flavour while the leeks add a mild spice taste to the saugage, the next time you bake bread at home you should try it , go on give it a try.i dare you .

Thanks for letting us know about this speciality sassenach sausage plough boy. Chrissie Mary and I are working on a recipe for guga and neep sausages, and think there might be a niche market for doggie bangers using peat and kelp - after extensive trials by Peatbogfaerie's dog. We don't want the cats to be left out, but reckon that Flying Cat & Co. will be quite happy with hot dogs.

Annie B, if you bake your own bread i suggest you try the brown ale bread, it really is nice and well worth the effort. mix the yeast with a small amount of warm water as usual then warm the brown ale and use it to mix the dough, i would suggest wholemeal flour. give it a go Annie and let me know the result.

Annie b, A scientist friend of mine has crossed a king edward potato with a sea sponge, it tastes terrible but it soaks up a lot of gravy
plough boy from primose farm
Hello plough boy. Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I've got my Lofty Peak (Flour of Scotland) and other ingredients for the bread so I'll give it a go. Maybe I might add some sea sponge to the mixture and make bath buns?
Annie B from the usual
To Annie b. Have you ever tried this? take a block of ice-cream approx 9x6x4 centimetres[not soft scoop or chocolate flavoured] and deep freeze it until really solid, make a sweet batter mixture with aerated water, dust the solid ice-cream with icing sugar then dip it into the batter and deep-fry in clean cooking oil, note, the oil must be really hot. As the batter turns to a golden colour the ice-cream is just starting to melt ,serve with a raspberry sauce or coulee and a dusting of a good quality cocoa powder. enjoy it.

Fpu says - you should have seen the size of the Castletown (IOM) butcher's bangers. She has never seen the like. So thick. Venison, and Wild Bore, to mention but two. She had to lie down in a darkened room....
Flying Cat from In limbo
