    Hey A-58 ! I see you noticed that the thread had been hi-jacked by the first reply also. I was going to say something nice about the family friend who lived around the corner from us who was an English War Bride. She married a local guy after they met when he was stationed over there. They had three great daughters, one especially nice! But the more I think about it, I don't remember her ever passing along any good recipes from England or any recipes for that matter.

    Hilts, do you still live in the area of Ridgewell?

    I only ask because I help run the 381st museum there, and was wondering if you had visited before...

    I have an album on my page with my Ridgewell pics, I expect you already have them all anyway! I'm hoping to 'Bimble' over on The Harley again this summer, I'd like to walk that last remaining bit of runway! Might see you then!! :)

    Look forward to seeing you then hopefully :) We'll be in the process of expanding the museum into the rest of the nissan hut we're in - but I'll doubt it'll be finished till the end of the year - or even next year, but the existing part will be open as usual, 2nd sunday in the month from April.

    Good Fish, chips and a Guiness playing darts with the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars in 1988 at Henley. Never play darts against the Irish Hussars as it can be quite costly. Great Cheese omlete at the London International( might have been the park international) and that was Hotel food:D

    Although England is not Italy when it comes to food, I never had a bad meal while in Britain and I chef for fun.

    I'll ring my chap in SA at De Beers immediatley:D

    One of these days I'll make it to the Hop farm.

    Speaking of Faaarmin

    Hah, Long ago...far..far...away Milk cow gets loose, crashes fence, have to then herd cows with three wheelers, like cow boys, new girl(very hot arabic american girl wore shorts, legs like Brittany(this was long ago) wanted to drive the tractor hauling trailer with 5" irrigation pipe, didn't corner right, dumps pipe all over the state highway. Cow then dies with head stuck in the milk gate....chain saw time, that was my segway to another thread. Then IH with bucket and time to dispose of said cow. Been there done that, although 7AM to 7PM wasn't my cup of tea at least I didn't have the stress of owning the place. Sheep, dumbest animals on the planet, real bummer(get It) when their digestive track gets screwed up. Although I shoveled it I didn't have to do that lovely deed.

    Wooly Bully....Watch it now...

    Ahhhh, So you didn't perish in the reactor Dr No:D

    I guess us Americans are actually quite descent(something about three ribbons):D

    Oberst....Sheep are far from dumb....Introduce food to the equation and watch the social activity. No different than humans...Watch em for a day or two and you'll see resemblance...Some brave, some cowardly, some sociable some quiet, some greedy some family orientated, suffolks bad mums...give me food, mules...I'll starve before my kids do...Scottish half breeds...get in my way and I'll have your knees sunshine...People are as much sheep as are people....I see the traits of both in both.

    Well, I refuse to comment on British food; I have many friends from the UK on this board and friends I worked with in the past.

    I will offer up in the spirit of international cooperation a recommendation for a wonderful Texas BBQ establishment in Texas:
    [​IMG]

    Salt Lick Bar-B-Que Restaurant – Austin, Round Rock, Hill Country, Texas

    I plan to partake of said establishment's vittles and Margaritas next month followed by a week of BBQ over-dosing at other fine establishments between San Antonio, Austin, Waco, Dallas, Houston and small unknown towns, unknown to those unfortunate non-Texans.

    If I can make time perhaps I'll go over to A-58 land and sample the Cajun eatin' too!:D
