Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I too am not sure about these ancient reintroductions especially with apex predators .They have caused mayhem with some lower down the scale and vagrant species .Interestingly we eat a fish called Zander and they have been found wild in the UK for the first time ,all anglers are being told to kill them upon catching ,the thing is they are excellent eating ,when we catch them they never have other fish inside as do the pike and perch but they are being accused of killing smaller fish .Here we have vendace which are whitebait size when small and they fish them from the lakes by the tonne with no apparent hrm from the zander to their population.
I seem to remember Zander being mentioned in the UK many years ago, mainly as a non-native fish that wasn’t welcome. Many years ago I went pike fishing with a friend who switched to “ live baiting” when he caught a smaller fish. Not something I could have done .

When we fish here if we run out of worms my wife takes the eyes from an unwanted fish . Life depended to a great extent on foraging and hunting here . Don't forget if you catch one eat it ! It is special to watch them catch herring ,they have a line with ten or so hooks with aluminium foil to attract the fish and as soon as the put the line in they lift it back out -full of fish !
 

How did they taste blue?

HP sauce on them?
As of typing we haven't eaten them ,we are going to soon and yes as we don't normally eat deep fried we will have HP on standby .THe recipe called for pork sausage meat which we dont get here so I looked up a recipe for "English breakfast sausage " and they smell really nice .I will now need to use the surplus to make sausages -Finland's biggest flaw is their sausages .Photo to follow .
 

Good morning all on this nippy day here -2° as I type .The fields are white with frost and the deer are nibbling at the remaining bit of the crop harvest ,almost monochrome . I bought a large sausage shaped fat thing for the birds and they have seen off 2kgs of it in two days as well as sunflower seeds and grease balls . Hope fully we get the birds that don't need us in the summer soon.
I hope all are well and had a good night ,it would be nice to hear @Terrarian is faring a bit better with his headaches and that @peteblue is doing well .
Have a great day all COYB

You never get a decent sausage in Spain either I find. I love all their meats I must say but if I’m going for a big breakfast then I don’t want their poor substitute for a banger.

Oh God I sound like a gammon :blush:

Hi everyone, I'm ok but have been a bit ill this last week, projectile vomiting and every time I ate or drank I brought it up again. It seems to have gone today though. My headaches have been better thankfully during this period at least.

I honestly can't get back into the swing of posting again as there's just way way too much negativity and bad vibes in E sector, so much it is putting me off even reading. There's camps that constantly snipe at each other and the place just seems angry. I can't be doing with the writing off of signings barely 5 minutes into their Everton careers and that's doing my nut in as well.

Hopefully better days are ahead and give the fan base something to actually get excited about. We've been ground into the dirt and people have got Everton PTSD is my take.( I have issues so could be reading the room wrong but I think fans are tired of just being an insignificant entity.)

Catch you all soon.

Update on my butcher choice and I went for best meat uk this time and am much more satisfied with the quality compared to the meat man.

Good to hear from you, hope your recent bout of sickness has gone and hope you are feeling much better soon. The only threads I feel confident about posting in are this one, the depression thread and Happy Birthday… I’m sure I would be torn to shreds in any other thread that’s if anyone was interested in anything I had to say in the first place. I had a bad experience in Current Affairs ages ago, my post was taken totally out of context and I’m afraid I dug myself in a hole.
Pleased to hear that the butcher choice is working out for you and as a veggie I mean that most sincerely.😂. Seriously though as I’ve said before I don’t have a problem with people eating meat just my personal choice.
