Today will be my 4th Crimble dinner,
Crimble day will be my 5th. I've been a bit healthy and had lots of vegi options. Today's starters are Scotch eggs, made with Black Pudding. Fuck health today, when it comes to Black Pud, I'm a tart :)

Edit. The eggs come with tomato chutney. And I'm having profitoreroles and chocolate sauce for dessert.

Utterly superb
I can almost taste 'em.

Mmmmm...
The only thing wrong with Christmas dinner is that it's only served once a year. You seem to have found a way round this :)

Edit: Although I did get 2 last year :D

Same here.

We have lamb eggs,
and bunnies.

lamb eggs?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 10:42, Reply)

are they like 'goat raisins'?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:04, Reply)

i would imagine
they are similar to "dog eggs"

Holy shit
Scotch egg AND black poodin, fucking genius.

Just like the genius who thought about putting black pudding into Square Sausage, or Slice, as it is more commnonly know. If this is a new concept in breakfasting option, then check these links gentle reader. No breakfast is complete with a a slice of slice!

sounds very good
I've always been intending to make Scotch onions.

Roast some shallots, then wrap in sausage meat and roast again.

Oh my, that sounds like an idea.
Sausage Meat, the caviar of the proles.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 10:45, Reply)

I fucking love caviar

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 10:46, Reply)

Never tried it actually
I've tried sausage meat though!
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 10:49, Reply)

it's kind of salty and fishy as you'd expect
you know how some small berries kind of pop when you bite them? it's like tiny fishy versions of that.

great on hot buttered toast

I think it's OK
but like champagne and modern art, I think many people are blinded by the cachet and expense so there's an element of 'Emperor's New Clothes' about it. Folks claim they love it because they think they're supposed to. Deep down they think it's at best 'meh', but gush on about how great it is because everyone else is.

I'm not saying that's what you're doing here, quite the opposite, but if asked most WAG-types they'd probably tell you they love caviar and fine champagne but in their own private thoughts, they think it's 'mingin' and would rather have an Iceland prawn ring and some Lambrini.

Excellent, I think I've outdone my own extraordinarily high standards of snobbery here.

Tally ho!

that made me almost wee myself laughing.
Best analogy EVER!

Why, thank you

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:15, Reply)

Prawn Rings, and Blue Pop.
That's why chavs love Iceland.
(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Tue 22 Dec 2009, 12:07, Reply)

I think you are right
whereas I will happily chow down on a £2 jar of lumpfish caviar and toast because I like the taste.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:14, Reply)

I have to ask,
have you ever tried fresh fish roe on a cracker with hot sauce? Had it the first time ever this weekend and it was all of the win!
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:12, Reply)

that sounds quite nice
I have some insane hot sauce from barbados. might need to start using it more.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:15, Reply)

I've got shit loads of different ones
but always end up back with good old Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce. Spontaneous Combustion Sauce is just plain silly - you could only use it in cooking, and then only very sparingly. So what does Monty do when presented with it?

Takes a swig from the bottle. Total. Fucking. Agony.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:20, Reply)

Wahey, party time!!
Or should that be regret time. What about that guy that died after beasting a load of stupidly hot chillis.

I have 5 different ones in my fridge right now
that I got from New Orleans. They are all FUCKING HOT and all of the win!
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:28, Reply)

It is yummy,
although I would recommend it's fresh as in "caught that day" otherwise it has a really nasty fishy slimy taste.
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:22, Reply)

Yum!
Have a good one!

Christmas dinners
This will be the first year ever I will have had NO christmas dinners at all!
I'm not normally that bothered about them, but I feel a little bereft, somehow.

must be a bit odd
it boggles my mind that my gf's family aren't big on them. they had curry for christmas dinner one year. that's just freakish
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 11:41, Reply)

Dinner
I don't know what I will be having this year - something Malaysian as that's where I'll be (weather permitting)
Everyone knows curry is for breakfast.
