Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
So, all this hoo-haa about it being down to "political correctness" was a load of baloney...it was market forces, pure and simple!

Well I Know that my Granddaughter and her fella used to go to KFC on a Wednesday because they both worked late on that day, but they refused to go when they changed the menu, maybe they'll go back now, but they may have got out of the habit now

Don't blame 'em. It may come as a shock to some people, but there are other places to eat, apart from KFC!

Ya in fact Wyn there's nout much wrong with spending a few minutes in your own kitchen, with a few pots and pans and commodities purchased from ASDA then sitting at your own table eating good old home made grub

Yep, I'm always reminding Mrs H of that fact, Jaysay. "Get into that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans, better fix my supper 'cos I'm a hungry man" as a great man once said.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
can you 'half inch it' bring back BRAWN to those who know what it is - and serve it up at the local shop - aahh those were the days -
nothing wrong with the 'old' trotters and if we have to get German before 'the match'--
eisbens with sliced deep fried spuds and saurkraut (include Juiper berries - or else)
pork schnizels,- pork roulade in a mustard sauce - and the cheeks 00000h -
feeling hungry??
staple diet to our English heritage and probably what sustained 'the Empire' - most ordinary folks had a piggy.
maybe the effing burger was our downfall although prior to that it was the Frankfurter
so we can blame them both - the Yankie doodle dandies and the Danish invaders (oops I've got me finger stuck in the dam)
I'm off to get myself a bacon buttie (with a splash of HP sauce - yet another great Brit invention)
don't forget the apple sauce!

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
jays- do people actually COOk these days - judging by the expansion of 'ready meals' that Tesco and the like devote to 2 to 3 aisles on the putrifaction and what I observe in the piled trolleys goin through the checkout the answer has to be NO.
why why why would anyone buy a 'ready' cottage pie???? or for that matter a spag bog-
- I'm not bragging but both dishes (including a really 'spot on' meat and tata pie) I can rustle up in less time that it takes to take the wrapping off.
your psychoanalysis on the subject will hopefully fill the missing gap.

You could be right there, Bernie. She went off to the daughter's yesterday and left me to fend for myself (takeaway after the pub, natch).
That Germaine Greer has a lot to answer for.

Sadly your right Martin I do keep some ready meals in the freezer, (which reminds me better check the use by date) just in case I can't get a meal together. I think I eat fewer take aways now than I've done for years, used to have a couple a week, (for supper only) I haven't had 1 this year, in fact ain't had one since about last September
