I'm the same with Pork. I love bacon and ham, boiled ham but although I like pork I invariably throw up after eating it, especially if it is served in a casserole or with any sauce, even apple.

Really weird thing with me and smoked mackerel. I can eat mackerel with no issues although it is not a favourite of mine. I can eat other smoked fish - herring (as in kippers), salmon, trout, all sorts. But I cannot eat smoked mackerel. Twice I have been doubled up with stomach cramps and cold sweats for about 2 hours after partaking. I am not going to try it again!

Smoked Mackerel Tartare

Two or three smoked mackerel fillets, skinned and flaked
Two hard-boiled eggs, chopped up
A large gherkin or the equivalent in those stupid little cocktail jobbies, chopped into little pieces
4 tablespoons Hellmann's
Black pepper
Chopped parsley (or dill) - a tablespoonish
Squirt of proper lemon juice out of a real lemon

Combine.

You can just put everything unchopped on a board and chop it all together if you like and add a bit of lemon juice afterwards. Don't over-chop. Keep your chopper under control. Lemon zest on top is good.

It's a bit posh is this. Impress your mates. Serve it with some fancy ciabatta or something equally pretentious.

Smoked Mackerel Pate

3 Smoked Mackerel Fillets, beak up into your blender, add teaspoon of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon English Mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of Horseradish Sauce and cream to blend, blitz until smooth place in a Ramekin and chill.

Nice !

Amounts can be varied to suit tastes and it also works REALLY well with Kipper fillets.

Mackerel pâté:

Two tins of mackerel in oil, drained
Juice and zest of a smallish lemon (don't use bottled juice)
One tablespoon creme fraiche
One teaspoon of English mustard out of a jar (Colman's - duh)
Small grinding of black pepper
A few drops of Tabasco

Put the whole lot into a jar and whizz with your hand blender. No need to go berserk. You could always go rustic and just mash it all up with a fork.

I find it tastes better if you make it a few hours ahead and chill it.

Consume with crispy buttered toast. I tell you, you'll live forever.

Steve, I briefly had a rather drunken specimen of a Scottish boyfriend at Edinburgh Uni, and he used to haunt the Union Bar, dragging me along with him. (It was open to females too) I could only manage a half of McEwan's Heavy, but he could drink to Olympic standards. The lads in there sang all the rugby songs and I'd sit there delighted. The songs I dimly remember were:- some thing about an Eskimo called Nell, a chap with large...er...testicles apparently twice as heavy as lead with which he could perform unlikely feats, a lady called Liza who was entreated to show her legs, and someone standing on a bridge at midnight doing rather strange things to their crutch. It was this Scottish chap who took me to the Rangers - Celtic match.

I suppose nowadays one would have to sing about Inuit Nell. Doesn't have the same ring about it does it?

When I was at university, Eliza, I got in with A Bad Lot, aka the rugby club, even though I've never played rugby in my life and didn't even know the rules. All I know about rugby is that it's a game played by men with oval balls. Anyway, we routinely got wasted in the all-male union bar (yes, you heard me right) where we could sing obscene songs. One of the worst involved the Boat Race. I think there may have been a thread on it but I shall at this juncture refrain from identifying it (you can bet your life that somebody will!)

Drank a yard of ale in there once. It took me 55 seconds, not because I was a slow drinker but because I couldn't control the turbulent gushing of the beer. I'm not proud.

Hey Stanley, have you ever wondered why proposed strange stars and stranglet particles are as evidence free as Big foot?

It is unstable in our universe and the dark matter universe until it breaks down.
Like a hybrid dark-regular matter they are homeless unlike the dark low spin matter created from the matter antimatter annihilation. Surface tension arguments be damned. Its enemy is heat so what is left of heavy strange matter can happily reside in the dark matter universe as its spin falls below 1 when its strange quark goes AWOL. Nothing created - nothing destroyed but rather an orphan of both universes but buried in e dark.

Stranglet solved.

Old stuff binned and nice fresh coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, green cardamoms and a tandoori masala which I've never tried before.

A rabbits voice is often mistaken for a quiet growl. Lion head rabbits are famous for this. All rabbits can scream or cry in a baby human manner just like fawns do. The other songs of the rabbit are percussive with their teeth or by their rear foot. Their form of purring is a chittering of their teeth which may be a song to them.

Trumper the Shakespeare of rabbits has chittered that pleasure is the fundamental food of love in his song A Kiss Is Just a Kiss.

Having found the origin of dark matter and the fractional spin of its particles compared to our baryonic matter which spin at whole numbers along with the nature of dark matter stars which are cool, massive and powered by dark matter annihilation they form super super massive black holes which act as elementary particles and are in fact the same as black holes everywhere, mystery solved regarding the additional gravity of the universe.

The mystery of dark energy follows similarly with the ever increasing formation of black holes and the balancing reaction of space energy to seek equilibrium until space snaps at some point when it can no longer balance the warping of space due to the predominance of a black hole universe, then Boom! the universe undergoes a sudden state change like water suddenly changing to ice instead of being liquid.

Mysteries solved, so I need a new mystery to solve.
