Operation M. The Great Work Has Begun!

[Tim Marlow]

Well, I’ve had a refreshing sleep in my very comfortable bed…….


Guess what’s for brekkie……….

I ate Tripe on a few occasions a few years ago in Taiwan a couple of times, in a spicy hot pot with other meat amd veg. It wasn't bad actually.

I've never eaten the stuff over here at all.

The worst thing eaten as a 'regular' food is either offal (in all manifestations except small chopped lambs kidney in Steak and Kidney pie/pudding) and cous-cous! I have a reason for the latter though; I once 'led' a Young Officer's Personal Development Adventure Training exercise in Corsica - the aim was to walk the famed GR20 high-level mountain route in reverse (from Ajaccio to Calvi) as fast as possible.The teams were unsupported by an admin trail and thus carried everything needed on their backs. Cous-cous was light, flexible (capable of mixing with herbs/spices etc) nutritious and cheap. The intention was to complete in well under a fortnight; it was an unusually hot Summer so water was scarce and hence more needed to be carried; an incident delayed our progress and as a result we had to wait for Casevac. Apart from a rabbit, some wild garlic and a few wild strawberries, we existed for over 14 days on that muck - towards the end we universally detested the sight and name of it! I still do!

Well done Steve! Every little helps! Meanwhile, The Great Work continues although there is so far little to show for our efforts except for a pile of building components and some wet cement!

That’s not wet cement, that’s salad cream…..not fit for eating nor building….

Never tried it, sort of Horlics with bone marrow. Doesn’t sound appealing does it……also remember we had rose hip syrup instead of concentrated orange juice.

I think his great plan was to feed you all offal beer, and he’s just had a revelation that it won’t work……

Can you hear them singing…….they are coming for you mwuhahaha!

“Brown is the colour,
Spreading is the game,
We’re all together,
…and winning is our aim,
So cheer us on through the sun and rain
’cos MARMITE…….MARMITE is our name”…..

Cod liver oil! I loved it and I happily gulped it with the addition of some fresh lemon drops, then my parents discovered I had problems in digesting it when I began to smell like a 3 days old cod left in a plastic bag. :sick:

Got to wonder if the supposed health benefits outweighed the mental trauma really, haven’t you :tongue-out3:
