Can I report on The Black Farmers Sausges recommended by Norfy? Well, my test of a good banger (and I have not had one of late) means no exuding of fat.Originally posted by Flay View PostI wish I had some of those sausages for tea. It's left-over chicken for me (hopefully free-range to avoid the ire of Anna
)
These sausages passed the test 10/10, narely a morsel was dripped. They were porky, juicy but somehow lacking in, perhaps rosemary, parsley, thyme. possibly nutmeg or mace. I served them with colcannon and sexed them up with Colmans. I could only get premium pork ones, I would like to try Wilfred's pork, leek and chives. I will buy them again, having had a nibble on a cold one, which was rather nice.Last edited by Guest; 15-12-11, 11:03.Comment

As we're getting near to my bedtiome, and I know that some of you stay up late & work through the night even, a-fretting and a-wurreting, I thought I'd drop a hint or two.
The V is a name but not a surname, but the surname is almost always attached to the V when mentioning this person
The use of CCCP is significant in relation to dates and to the surprise
The pupil of Liszt indicates an instrument of choice
There you go - easy-peasy

The V would appear to be Van as in Van Cliburn!
First prize at the first Tchaikovsky competition
The Soviets (CCCP) had to concede that the Yank was best
Van Cliburn's mum was taught the piano by Liszt pupil Mr Friedheim
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

May I make so bold, as I think the V is correct, and also to speed the plough as I won't be around much first thing, as to set a W ?
Which W links
A death very early in the twentieth century
A silk merchant
Sorrows and Dreams, among other things

See #10857 (A propos of which - Oscar Wilde died in 1900, but I doubt if that's relevant)Originally posted by amateur51 View PostBravo Calibs!magic:
