That cracked me up, Cass. I couldn't read some of them. They were too yucky for me to contemplate. I'm wondering about the potted meat though, and how very different it is on toast, from Bovril on toast, which my Brit friends do eat.

Poking head - no, I'm not really here, it can't be a head. Can somebody poke the tips of their hair? Anyway, whatever it is I'm disturbing the conversation with, it's terribly late and I'm such a mess, but! According to the Buffista Calendar it's Deena's birthday today. Happy birthday, Deena! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year.

I've skipped around 3000 posts, so I have no idea what's been mentioned and what wasn't - Sheryl and her DH's anniversary the day before yesterday and Aimée and miracleman's yesterday, for example. So lots of (alas, belated) wishes for them, as well.

And in case I'm just as lame and postingless the following days, the 5th will be Fred Pete's birthday, and the 6th will be Robin's, so lots of early wishes for the both of them, as well.

The tips of my hair should go join the rest of my not-here head now. It will be a bit strange for hairs to run along all alone on the ground, and I'll probably have to wash them a lot, but at least they were strong enough to click on the keyboard and type this post. Me, not being here, just misses you guys lots.

Wasn't Bovril just uberthick stock?

I'm a parent, but this just made me gag. Ironically, not the bad!food site.

Wasn't Bovril just uberthick stock?

Uberthick, salty stock. It comes in paste form, and they'd spread it on toast. It's not as thick as the potted meat, I'm sure, but I'm wondering how different it is.

Well, one is juice, and the other is smooshed stuff. I'm not having words to describe the difference, but broth and pate are different to me, and they are different in the same way.

The corn smut didn't make your hair wiggle, even a little? The wine with the socks?

After those two I had to close the page, b/c I was going to sell the buick.

What is home without Plumtree's Potted Meat? Incomplete. With it an abode of bliss.

Isn't potted meat basically just country-style paté?

(Note -- I have not been to the site, and am basing my idea of "potted meat" entirely on that chapter from whichever of Elizabeth David's books has the potted meat in it.)

SPAM is potted meat.
