v for frequency?

It depends. This weekend was oatmeal. I also have and use steel cut oats but the cooking time is much longer. If I plan ahead I soak them overnight.

Oat groats from a feed store are even cheaper. Rolled oats from a feed store are not suggested unless you really want to increase your roughage. They aren't hulled prior to steaming and rolling.

The island had been conquered and populated by anyone who could build a rudimentary boat. Before Doggerland sank the Northern Hunter Gatherers didn't even need the boat.

I have tools in both systems. Even my 1986 Ford pickup throws in a little metric every now and then. The forks, carb, and other bits on the Harley are Japanese and hence metric. Only the Toyota car and Suzuki bikes have no surprises.

When working under car a female significant other can copy better with metric sizes than 'Give me the damn 13/16"

One year when sweetcorn was cheap at the end of the season I bought a few dozen ears, dried them, and ground the kernels in a hand mill. Now there was some tasty cornmeal mush. If you've ever tried to eat fresh dent corn you'd appreciate the difference.

I get their stuff if I can't find it in the bulk food bins. It's good but they're rather proud of it.

And BBQ starts with a pig and never gets near a tomato... The two variants are sliced or chopped.

One of my cookbooks says "If your friends don't like garlic get new friends"

(I don't think it applies here though!)

We'll see. The stuff I bought was available at my regular grocery store.

My husband doesn't like anything that has a pudding-like texture.

Looks more Chinese than Korean, although I see they have a Korean BBQ Beef Dumpling.

Out of the dozen or so Korean restaurants, we usually go here:

Your female significant other, perhaps. I'm quite comfortable with fractions.

But only when they are in season. No-one has ever managed to successfully farm haggis, they only thrive in the wild.

I'm certain she can work with fractions in a normal context but 20 or 21 works better when you're hunting through a set of open ends than looking for the one between 12/16ths and 14/16ths.

We had a Korean QA tester and I really miss her. She'd get hungry and come to see what I had to trade for dried squid. I tried to pass off a bag of pork rinds but she brought them back for exchange.

Kimchee is good too. Last week I found my Korean red pepper was over the hill so this batch is traditional sauerkraut with juniper berries and caraway seeds.

Yes.

Me neither.

Not convinced. The russians have always been into cannon fodder and still are given that they now use their prison inmates for that.

And they are one of the few countrys that still has conscription.

I doubt it.

I doubt that too.

Thats not why Britain invented the industrial revolution and Germany did so well with their tech innovations, particularly in chemistry and medicine.

Not very surprising given who they get to meet and lower mobility.

Fraid not.

That wasnt the reason that Britain invented the industrial revolution.

Thats very arguable indeed given the way the US took over industrially and later with everything from credit cards, clothes, cars, aircraft, microsoft, google, facebook etc etc etc.

I doubt if any American has seen or even tasted real Haggis as the USA ban the import. Instead they get some artificial factory produced substitute made from minced sheep offal and oatmeal.

Here in England we get Faggots. Much the same as the factory produced Haggis above but made with pig offal instead of sheep offal.

My wife and I agree on one thing: that brussels sprouts are deeply unpleasant (unfortunately, for me that extends to all boiled/steamed veg). But she found a way of making them palatable (ie less unpleasant) - boil them in the same pan as carrots: the sweetness of the carrots offsets the sprouty flavour of sprouts. I can imagine that bacon has a strong enough flavour to offset it as well.
