Find Ancestors

Thank you David, it's a photo of my late mum.


I googled veggie burgers Gins - just to see what was in them.......but, like you, I do wonder what else we aren't being told. :-S

Hello David, welcome to the mad house


Cyns

How do I know thats whats in my burger, thats what they say, but......................

If they stocked Tesco with a pile of minced beef pies and a pile of minced horse pies, which would be left in the freezer :-0

People have a right to eat what they want, but people also have a right to know what they are eating......big liars What else are they telling porkies about :-|

Hello Cynthia :-D

I do like your photo

Hello David... :-D



Gins, apparently horse meat is slightly sweet and very tasty ;-)


When I was in our local (and very good) butcher's this morning, an old chap of 94 grinned and pointed to the homemade burgers......"they won the Grand National" he said. Everyone fell about laughing.

It's not particularly the fact that horse meat is involved, what I find wrong is the fact that the suppliers have been untruthful.


What's in your veggie burger? Well, to start with.......textured vegetable protein, soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate vegetable gum, maltodextrin, methylcellulose natural flavor 1 , yeast extract 2 , disodium guanylate 3 , disodium inosinate 3 , succinic acid 3 , sodium phosphate 4 sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil, niacinamide, iron, ferrous sulfate, B1, B6, B2, B12



Think I'll stick to beef m'self...... :-D

You are welcome David.

You will since I'm now back to GGGF on Mother's side of the tree and GGF on Father's side,all verified.

Thank you

Help yourself to tea and anything else which you might fancy from the breakfast menu David. :-)

Yes, it can be quite scary when you first start and LOADS of info comes flying back at you. It is not an unusual response to 'back off' quietly into a corner and hide ;-)

Anyway, glad you have found your way back and now know that we are only trying to help.

Hope to see you posting a lot more often in the future.

Dea Xxx

I cant believe you are talking about animals bits and what you do with them :-0 :-0 :-0

Ive left a Findus lasagne in the oven.....help yourself

Im waiting to hear what the heck is in vege burgers, if its meat, I'll throw up and sue the pants of the manufacturer :-|

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~~ :-D

Dea,Good morning,God bless yoy
Ive been looking back at my requests for information,started about 2008
One request was entitled Chair maker's Father.
I gave minimal clues,yey within 48 hours a group of helpers provided quite a bit.
I the the mean time I was looking at other threads and did not see their postings at the time they were posted to respond to them immediately.
Eristhered scared me off.Collectively they (experiaced) had found a lot.Me (newby) was over awed and back off.
Incorrect reation I know but I felt thick and they seemed like greased lightening.
With the distance of time and since finding my way on these boards I recognise my error.I apologise.Having said that if I'd stuck at it diligently I could now have worked my way back to Noah,Methusela and Lamech.

That said I could murder a cup of tea.
White no sugar.

Hi David,

Nice to see you on here.

Your apology and thanks are accepted but did you realise that all previous info is not stored on your PC - it is stored on the site so it doesn't matter if you change your PC etc. it will still be on here for you to access on the new PC.

Just look to the left of these messages and you will see a list of 'Tools' - scroll down and click on 'my threads'. - This will bring up all the threads you have ever started or posted on and you can open up the one you want and access all your past info.

I wish you well with your research.

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Do help yourself to some breakfast while you are here.

Jonesey,

Sweetbreads are not what I think you think they are ;-)

I used to think that too :-D :-D :-D

A Full English for me today Sylvs please.

Yuummmm ! - Thank you <3

Dea Xxx

I have be guilty,more than once of asking for details of my Father's anscestors.
I apologise.
I have the same question more than once and probably on more than one thread.
I may have offended unwittingly people such as Eringobrach,maura and others.
My recent request for hoep was prompted because I'd got rid of my former PC without printing off the relevent information.
Sorry to give these good people reason to be annoyed.
Sincere thanks for all your help.

Thank you Sylvs.......Full English on this damp morning please.... <3

Cyn,

It's not just your OH who remembers such things. When I was a nipper there were 2 milkmen who did rounds in our area and both used a horse and cart. The Wacaden Dairies cart had a walk-in central driving position with platform area's for the milk crates both in front and behind it. That milkman used to let us kids drive the cart up the street mind you the horse knew which houses to stop at any way. The other milkman's cart was a small affair with its driving position a bit like a pulpit immediately behind the horse. That milkman was a miserable so and so who wouldn't let us kids have a go.

Sylv,

I too am partial to Slither and bunions which is very nice with mashed tatties and you can't beat Snake and Pigmy pie when served with a few chips.

I've never tried sweetbreads, the very thought brings a tear to my eye. :-D

Sylvia I am soooo jealous. I wish we could get our salmon like that.
I must try cooking the salmon that way sounds yummy.

We have never been lucky enough to visit Canada but we always wanted to see Toronto and Vancouver one day hopefully :-D

Gins will have a pink fit when she reads that tomorrow Sylvs......... :-D :-D :-D :-D


We had tongue in a sandwich yesterday. I love Marmite and my daughter is addicted to it.


I only really like lamb's liver Sylvs....it's more tender than pig's liver.


Not that keen on salmon.........but I like kippers with fresh bread. :-D


Just back in from a meeting.

Jonesey ..................


I was raised in Lancashire


Mum often cooked tripe ................. usually in the oven, and poached in milk. Or sometimes cooked and then vinegar on it.

I liked honeycomb tripe with vinegar the best.

Grandmother also used to cook tripe


Mum also used to buy cow's tongue, cook it, then press it. Dad even made his own little gadget to do the pressing. The cooked tongue was put in a large bowl, and a weight had to be applied to press it down. Dad's gadget was of steel, it had a flat "plate" that fitted over the top of the tongue, then there was a screw down vise-type thing that could be adjusted to press the tongue flatter than possible by an ordinary weight.


OH and I both still like pressed tongue .................... and can buy it sliced from the delicatessen in the supermarket here. I guess we buy it 3 or 4 times a summer to have with salad.

I've never taken to brains, or sweetbreads ............. although OH used to eat sweetbreads when we ate out in the UK in the 60s............ they used to sometimes be served as an "appetizer", very occasionally as a main dish.

I do like kidney and liver.



so yes, I was brought up to eat everything

Linda ................


we love salmon .................

one of our favourite dishes is sockeye poached in the oven in either 7-UP with lemon slices or water and lemon slices. We do salmon steaks that way for ourselves, or a whole salmon (minus head, tail and fins :-) ) for company.

we only eat wild sockeye, and very occasionally will buy wild coho.

I even make fish pie with tinned wild sockeye :-D


Don't forget, we live in one of the prime salmon areas .................... we still have "fishing villages" within half-an-hour's drive of Vancouver where the "fleet" goes out to catch salmon, and all other kinds of fish.

The fleet is much diminished from when we first came here, but there is still a significant catch.


We usually try buy the whole fish form the actual boat down at the dock. Steaks we buy from the fish shop or supermarket .... usually fresh, even in winter.
