Betcha I can find something edible in ANY post...that's just how my mind works...
Ok, you wanna translate the last two sentences. We don't all speak braveheart you know..
Ie, what's chilly Baltic and bovril dammit?

Ahhh, so you are now the one tasked with corralling this cadre of miscreants I take it? Poor thing.
Kestrel said:Works for me. :thumbsup: I have all kinds of dead animals in our two freezers. Some of which are even for eating.
The rest are for the experiments in your secret underground lair, I presume?

Oh, BTW, march - I chucked that crappy chutney in the "rubbish bin". I didn't like it enough to keep it. I am going to have to get some new stuff. If I pay you for it, would you send me a jar of the spicy Lidl's chutney? I don't know what shipping cost would be but if you go the slowest method it can't be too bad. I'm getting far too curious. I'm sure when it's sealed it needs no refrigeration on the trip, plus it's cold out anyways this time of year.
Crap! Now he talks like March too...
Hey, if you're gonna send him some chutney, I want in but on a jar of the NON spicy stuff. If it's ALL spicy, I'm not interested as it'll make me crap my pants!
Coldwise it's not gonna be a problem but I suggest IF March does it, he puts it in some kind of plastic container to minimize on weight and the necessary
packaging to avoid the glass breaking (and hence, more weight still).
I would also list the contents as either chutney which I'm sure most people here don't know what it is or condiments to keep the agricultural department
from getting all stupid and stealing the stuff.

Chilly Baltic just means very cold.
Chilly is just cold and Baltic is as in the place.
Bovril is a meat based drink. It's a sort of gravy type deal a bit like well gravy.
Hope that helps and I'll try and limit the "Braveheart"
Nah, it's ok, you talk all the braveheart you want, how else am I gonna learn new $hit!
So, gravy to drink huh? I'm sure it's better than it sounds.
We have something in bulgaria that I love which is very thick and muddy looking but I love it.
Haven't had it in many years though
By the way, apparently they are making it in the US now so I wrote to them to see if they
have any distributors already in the US. Since the site is not complete, I can only guess
that they just started.

Bovril is slightly darker than this. More oil coloured.

I'm guessing it tastes much the same.

The grass hut is sometimes attacked by the goats ... So , the grass hut is food for the goats and the goats are food (and milk when they are alive) for us.
The cycle generator can power our small microwave oven for about two minutes ... Marylou's legs get tired after all that high speed pedalling , hence the time limit ... Still , two minutes in a 650 watt microwave is OK for some foods ... The foods resting time unfortunately is shorter than the pedallers resting time , so obviously the type of food to be cooked has to chosen carefully.
Should have mentioned all this in my original post , but it was my turn to guard the chickens (which are also food).
p.s. Omelettes filled with freshwater shrimps or crayfish are OK in the microwave too.

Unfortunately there isn't enough room on the latest Kon-Tiki raft to America ... Shame really , as it is the slowest method of tansport.
Anyway we can't even bring apples and oranges or other fruit through customs into America ... Mangos are fruit , so that's out as well ... Wouldn't want to be put in jail for "Chutney-running" as it would be classed as smuggling ... Shame again.
The easiest way to get Lidls Mango Chutney is to book a cheap-day return flight on one of the many airlines on the UK route ... Or if you know anyone in the Airforce , they can get free indulgence flights to the UK and they can pop out to the nearest Lidls to get your chutney ... Try both types of chutney.
The British Consul or one of the Vice-consuls might be able to bring it in , inside the diplomatic briefcases ... This is probably the best idea if you know someone in the Embasy.
Or , come on holiday to the UK ... Our economy needs the boost !

Yep, I drew the short straw this time, lol.Ahhh, so you are now the one tasked with corralling this cadre of miscreants I take it? Poor thing.
Speaking as a retired part-time bicycle racer (only Cat 3), I would suggest having Marylou enter the Tour De France. The best world-class cyclists can deliver approximately 250 watts, so if she can pedal over twice that - all I can say is, Look out Floyd Landis!
I'm afraid that being half English, I can't quite keep up with all of the crazy Scots and Welsh around here; one thing that was popular with the elders where I grew up was fish (salmon) head soup. Too rich for my tastes, plus it was a bit disconcerting to ladle up a bowlful while the floating head was looking back up at you. :duh2:
One thing I used to make a lot of just after college was grilled cheddar & pastrami sandwiches, with homemade bread. Very very very tasty.

I work outdoors and there is nothing better than coming back to the cabin and having the same sandwich. I love how the pastrami goes nice and soft sooooooo juicy.
You think that's bad, try a cow's head staring at you...

OK.....
Bovril tastes awful.
Kestrel - where the hell have you been?
I am going to Vegas in January. I will post Lidl chutney, spicy or otherwise to anyone (who was part of our original group) who wishes to try some, that includes you Kestrel.
Anyone who is in Vegas who wants to buy me a beer will be most welcome.
Lamb shanks tonight, with roast potatoes and steamed veg. Yum.

Lamb shanks, sounds great.
I would like some of the stuff that March recommended in the beginning of our thread..you know, 15 years ago
Mild or normal if that's possible. Don't want me poopin' my pants do you?
March is at the right age for poopin' his pants but I'm still a little too young (I think)

Always with you it can't be done. :shakehead

DM must have tried to eat a sandwich and shorted out his circuit board. Silly supercomputers. :hahaha:
Anyways it's good to have you. I feel privileged that this thread gets it's very own moderator. :naughty:
Clearly, I do not understand food import/export laws. :shrug: Anyways, shoot me a PM when you are on your way and I can give you the particulars as well as the monetary compensation. Mmmm, chutney.
***************************
Today was a VERY good day for me in the sandwich realm. Let me tell you:
For lunch I went to a friend's house where a few of us gathered and we had steak sandwiches. A very good beef tenderloin, marinated and grilled and sliced up. Put that on a fresh roll with fried onions and mushrooms, garlic mayo and horseradish mustard. That was a most delightful sandwich!!
For dinner, my mom made Cuban sandwiches. Pulled pork shoulder, ham, swiss cheese, pickles and spicy mustard on fresh french bread, pressed and grilled on a griddle so it is hot and gooey in the middle with the outside crispy/toasted. Man, those turned out really well too. Another delightful sandwich!
I ate very very well today.
And then I just recently polished off a chocolate martini I made, just to try something new. Not bad. Svedka and Creme de Cacao with an ice cube. I'd drink another.
Nah, he's just hiding...

Not really a problem. THey're really only looking for FRESH produce and meat. Canned stuff like chutney shouldn't be a problem.
Same applies to me, lemme know and I'll send payment or if it's ok with nbp, send it to him and he can send it to me so you don't have to spend
your vacation time at the post office and I'll just send him the bucks...

Marylou uses my old road bike because my track bike was fixed wheel and she didn't like it ... Marylou's bike has a made to measure JRJ frame in the old Reynolds 531 tubing and is fitted with a 46/50 TA double clanger and 14 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 22 Campag gears plus Cinelli hubs and other goodies , though I had to remove the Mafak racing brakes as they slowed her down ... She is slow to build up speed as the flywheel on the generator takes a bit of getting up to speed , but nevertheless she does a good job of powering my electrics ... I am considering the option of lowering the gearing , but TA and Campag stuff is not easy to find in the Amazon due to lack of roads.
Since she is built like a horse , Marylou is therefore equivalent of 746 watts ... She is also an international Breadfruit and Yam tree climber (which means I have also mentioned foodstuffs on this post).
Luckily her twin sister Frederick (don't ask) acts as relief rider and is of similar build ... She is the local champion Pineapple planter too.
We will have to find a better way of producing electricity as when I switched the kettle on , the generator stalled and threw poor Marylou into the hen-hut ... Luckily.the chickens were unarmed.
Life goes on as usual , though Marylou now pedals with a limp.

It's never too late to start (or should that be early).

Did you see DM's new Sigline? :hahaha:
Yeah, we can work something out with the chutney. Does USPS deliver to your backwoods hick state? :nana:
Wait, did you really think it sounded good? Why the sick face? :thinking:
