What Is Allowable?

[DaisyNonna]

Any information about what is supposedly ok to eat, drink or use in cooking this month?

[Zacs-Master]

Eh?

[Mamyalynne]

Cockles.

[Zacs-Master]

But not Oysters.

[DaisyNonna]

Alive alive O ?

[sandyRoe]

And fried in lard. Vegetable oils for frying are not the flavour of the week.

[woofgang]

oysters are ok in november, there is an "r" in the month

[tonyav]

And so is fresh cod roe, if there's an R in the month.

[woofgang]

oooo fresh roe.....delicious.....

[-Talbot-]

Apples, beetroot and cucumber ... Bad!
Dripping sarnies, deep fried mars bars and foie gras ... good


OK I made that up but at least it didn't cost millions of pounds to arrive at my results.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't fry my Cockles.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, I thought Oysters were only ok if there wasn't an R in the month.

[Mamyalynne]

There's an 'R' in Oyster though.

[Zacs-Master]

There's nothing like a toasted winkle tho. Especially on a cold winter's night.

[Mamyalynne]

I'll get my pin.

[Barsel]

What about mussels with your cockles?

[Mamyalynne]

Too mussely.

[Barsel]

There seems to be something fishy about this thread. :-) x

[EDDIE51]

Deep fried Mars bar with 'Glasgow Salad'

[Hopkirk]

Dark chocolate and red wine in huge quantities.

[woofgang]

seriously, cockles (not the kind that come in vinegar) dusted with seasoned flour and fried in oil till crispy are delicious.
