Exactly my thought :-) My pa was born in 1889.

Ah, but I'm only twenty-one. Or sixty-two if you insist on absolute
precision.


At that age, my pa had only just got started on his second round of
babies :-}

I don't do absolute... only dissolute...

Following up to Totty

If you are looking for a different way to cook your fresh BBs, try
this...shell 2 kilos BBs, fry them quite briskly for a minute or two
with 4 (or more) cloves garlic, and 150gm diced, preferably serrano,
ham in about 100ml olive oil. Turn down the heat, then leave them to
stew gently in the oil until tender...about 20 mins. I like it as a
first course, or as a corner filler with a beer when I'm shopping.


ummmm! You could add black pudding to that too.

Now you're cooking on gas!! Diced chorizo is also a tasty substitute
for serrano.


have both! :-)
