El cheapo paint brushes

Well I was going to say. A well hung pheasant or a partridge for that matter is very appealing.

Promoting yourself again! Mr Firth will be along in a minute.

They'd be even better with some onions! I leave a message to that effect in the customer feedback box every time I visit. Had absolutely no effect, yet. Do they have onions in Sweden?

Oh yes. Many of the traditional Swedish dishes use it:

Jansson's Frestelse (Jansson's Temptation) involves potatoes, a lot of onion, anchovies and cream.

Pyttipanna (Hash involving potatoes, onions, boiled or roasted meat, horseradish, beetroot and eggs.)

Köttbullar (Meatballs)

The last of these is unfortunate because the 'K' is pronounced in the context of this word as approximately the same as 'sh' in English.

For the product that IKEA has in their restaurants, the overall sound is fairly descriptive.

I've had this and it's absolutely *wonderful*. A friend lived in Sweden for a while and has cooked it for us...

Not quite the same. Anything wellington isn't appealing either.

Potkiln. Isn't that where West Berkshire Brewery is? Good Old Boy!

My dear, they're simply divine

Just as well you spelt pheasant correctly.

That's why we have so many of them in Berkshire.

With the rods or without?

Nah, I'm sure that's the name of one of Ikea's wardrobes.

S'Ok Frank, we meat eaters don't appreciate the complex variety of textures and flavours that can only be appreciated when meats no longer dominate a meal.

Both. I'd rather have a Ginsters pasty than pheasant - tried it, don't like it.

Spot on - I assembled one only last week.

"Don't like" doesn't mean that it isn't good.

Pheasant, like most game has a very low fat content (< 1%), low calorie to weight ratio and high in beneficial mineral content.

In other words, nutritionally awful for something intended to be eaten as a complete meal.

SWMBO inherited a set of professional quality paintbrushes from her late painter & decorator uncle who had died in his mid '60s.

Her dad told her late uncle John had looked after them since he was an apprentice so you gotta look after them Yada,Yada,Yada.

Within a month they were inevitably pot hard - *Big* guilt trip.

Spool forward one month later when we got the decorator in. ;-)

Q. "How long does a paintbrush last"

A. "3 weeks. For the first week it's crap, the bristles keep coming out, it's OK for a week, and at the end of the 3rd week it's knackered".

No wonder they taste so good with all that neat stuff in them!
