Just an idle thought while I'm demolishing a couple of beers on a well earned day off on me second Spoofday...

Walnut Whips...

Do they still make them?

As I recall, they were fucking horrible.

Love

Skoob.

(Be gentle wiv me, it's me second Spoofday)

You're dead right, Skoob. They were rotten things.

But I think I saw them the other day in the newsagents. In a little dark blue/navy packet.

Remember Wagon Wheels?
Always wanted them when I went into the sweet shop as a little fella but they tasted horrible too. It was the idea of eating the wheel from a Wild West wagon that got me all geared up...but the taste was just not all there.

Monster Munch? They were spicy as hell. Better than Zombies. Zombies were too hard and an inferior type of Monster Much.

I liked chocolate white mice. The ones with the little creepy red eyes. Lovely, they were.

Wagon Wheels, yes and jammy dodgers, used to nick them at the school tuck bar, yummy

Happy second spoof day! Hope you have many more to come.

Yeah you can still get them.

And Spangles.
And Spiras.

There are 'Retro' sweet shops opening all over, with sweets in jars and everything.
You can get them online too.

I once bought some for an ex-girlfriend (who went on to be my first wife), turned out she liked Walnut Whirls.

Texan bars were good too.............

I like walnut whips.

Too small for my liking though.

Had a choc-dip in April, they haven't changed. Although as a child I always ran out of the dippy goodness - I guess as an adult I appreciate the biscuit more because I had a good stash left over when I'd eaten all the biccies.

Needless to say I just used my finger at the end.

Ooh er!

Mark, behave.

Take this as a warning. If you insist on putting your finger in it and leaving biccies, I can no longer be held responsible.

Any more of this and I'll ban you forever from this esteemed website.

You're not too old to get a good kick up the arse young man. Just ask my wife if you don't believe me.

Oh bugger...I think I just made a right arse of this. Truth is I'm a slave to the wife and Mark Lowton's website...

Sorry...I'm so sorry...really repentant...

I am. Honestly...

I'll get me coat...

Them old Jamaica bars.

They were nice.

Like toffee with raisins in 'em.

These days I like them big Kit Kats.

Some Yank bloke on me telly right now scoffing a big 72oz steak with prawn cocktail and salad. In Texas. (Hello Abel and J-man!)

Man vs Food or somesuch.

Skoob

Skoob.

That's at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. If you can eat the 72 ounce steak, along with the bowl of beans and cole slaw and rolls, in one hour, it is free. Otherwise, it's about $100.

If you can do it, they put your name on a plaque on the wall (a new plaque for each year). If you can eat two of them in an hour, there's a separate plaque (with very few names on it). No one has ever eaten three in an hour.

I knew a Samoan man that went in there four days in a row and ate the whole thing each time. Because of him, they came up with a rule that you could only try once a month.

The food there isn't really that good. The best steak in Amarillo used to be at the Lone Star Bar and Grill (which served the best ribeye I've ever had in my life).

The Big Texan is also famous for having the largest rattlesnake in captivity. If anyone ever finds one bigger, they buy it from you for $10,000.

Skoob and TT,

One of my co-workers went in to the steak house and asked for the 72-Ouncer. Those who were with him said that he finished the whole 4.5 Pounder and that half way through he asked the waitress for some more (dinner) rolls.

Some of dem good ol' Texas boys can sure nuff put away the groceries as TT aka Jalapenoman will tell ya.

Hasta La Pepto Bismol,
Abel

There's a place over here in Newcastle where they serve what they claim to be the hottest curry in the world.

Similar deal - if you can finish it, it's free.

It often gets mentioned in Viz Comic, but very few ever finish the curry.

I saw the chef there making this dish on a TV show - and he said that anybody who tries it is mad. Said he wouldn't touch it, let alone try eating it. Apparently it's pretty hard to keep down.

I once saw a lad try to eat curried eggs that were so hot that his top lip literally turned pink as it burned.

I recall telling you Gents that a company I worked for had a plant in Texas. My then boss went over there and went to a restaurant where they cut your tie off with scissors as you entered. He showed me the pics. He had a massive steak too, and finished it so got it for free. Don't think it was the same place as the one on TV yesterday though.

Think I also said that my wife is a fully qualified chef, and she quite fancies visiting Texas, mainly for the food on offer there. Not so much the giant steaks, more the spicy Tex-Mex stuff you chaps do so well.

It's been slowly catching on over here too - you can get fajitas, burritos, nachos and stuff and we have a Tex-Mex restaurant chain called Chiquitos, but the main fast staples here are still Indian, Chinese, Kebabs, pizzas and of course good old fish and chips - which if done properly is delicious.

The best fish and chips I ever tasted were in Brighton on the south coast. Big thick, chunky cod done in batter and lovely golden thick cut chips.

Mmmm - delicious it was.

Skoob.

You ain't lived till you have eaten my scouse. Seriously, it's a recipe that's been passed down for close to 100 years and I have perfected it further.

Walnut Whips though, they aint anywhere near as creamy as they used to be and they're smaller.

I'd never eat scouse on principle.

Black puddings are nice though. Boiled up, like you get on Bury or Burnley market, with malt vinegar and English mustard.

Bugger...I'm getting hungry now.

And I have a hangover.

Time to go on the wagon for a while methinks.

Work tomorrow.

Regards

Skoob.

What is scouse? Pardon the ignorant American, but I have no clue what this is and have never heard of it.

I make a similar dish, but given my Mancunian roots I use corned beef.

Had a choc-dip in April, ???????

Needless to say I just used my finger at the end.?????????

Hopefully you were referring to chocolate as in chocolate and not the type that George Michael likes.

In the future please remove all doubts about the intentions of your messages and then we can all have a gay old time

choccy dip, my arse (see what I mean Mark, misleading uugh!)

My missus is from a miserable shithole near Manchester called Leigh and they make an equally diarrhea looking dish with corned beef called "Lobby".

The word scouse came from the term lobscouse so maybe there's some fucked up correlation between the two but I can testify that my wife's lobby tastes and looks like shit and she should stick to what she's good at.
