Now proper duck cassoulet from round carcasonne is heart stopping good regardless of the stuff thrown in, had neck in mine in toulouse - yummy

We stayed near Castelnaudary a few years back and had a day trip to Carcassonne. I had cassoulet for dinner there and yes the absolute best.

I got the short straw one day when a forktruck came into the depot for routine work.
It was from a local offal plant.

The Chines will eat anything even if they know what it is!

I was in a cafe in Thailand, the local lady with me ordered something and when it came down I wasn't sure what it was. Lady didn't know the English word for it but with some thaiglish and hand waving I found out it was baby frog casserole!
Luckily I had ordered myself some khao pad gai. I can still hear her crunching through the frog bones!

Tripe and onions in a white sauce, no way!! both mum and dad loved it
Now chocolate ants and locusts are manageable

Years ago my mother served us tripe poached in milk I think it was, yuk, double yuk. Never eaten it since!

If tripe is a bit much for you then try Beuschel, a heart and lung stew from Austria. Heart has a good firm texture and lung has an interesting sponginess.

I was brought up on Lambs hearts,tripe and pigs feet in vinegar, The hearts back then was classed as the waste but now still eating them they are a silly price in butchers....fabulous eating after cooked slow in an oven with boiled potatoes and gravy

Had to go to 2x stores to get the bits I wanted. The rust vibro media is cheap here at $25 for 2.3kg worth. Looking forward to trying that out on my tumbler.

My first and only Snap On tool. I feel like a millionaire.

Found on an A4146 , I can't afford to buy one.

I grew up in Tiverton, but a very long time ago, and I don't recall any of that excitement!

Were you a fast runner?

Save money and buy a set from Rolson, cheap and way superior to Snap On . About the only decent things Rolson sell

Worth every penny those are. Can't be beaten in practice.

Ah, that's where I left it

 

[brewdexta]

Seeing as I need to staple a few hundred metres of chicken wire onto existing fencing to make one of our fields small dog proof, I treated myself to a battery stapler.

 

[Melvyn Best]

Have you actually owned a set of the snap on ones?

Yes, I have had several sets over the years, none of them are anywhere near as good as the Rolson ones. I’ve also tried Draper, Mac , Clark , Sealey and loads more . The only ones I would recommend are the Rolson ones
