SylviaInCanada Report 9 Jan 2012 21:58

yes, head cheese

but you would probably know it better as Brawn.

OH and I both knew it as Head Cheese even in the UK.


"Head cheese (AmE), or brawn (BrE), is a cold cut that originated in Europe. A version pickled with vinegar is known as souse. Head cheese is not a cheese but a terrine or meat jelly made with flesh from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow), and often set in aspic

Head cheese may be flavored with onion, black pepper, allspice, bay leaf, salt, and vinegar. It is usually eaten cold or at room temperature as a luncheon meat. It can also be made from quality trimmings from pork and veal, adding gelatin to the stock as a binder."


we can buy it here from the deli counter in the grocery store.



doesn't usually now include brain or eyes, etc, although the original peasant food possibly did


We sometimes buy it in the summer to have with salad.

Not a big lover of game, have tried emu but found it very strong tasting, and kangaroo which was the same.

Hope you are all well and LK has her voice back :-D

I found that thread

Bonuses for long term members

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/suggestions/thread/1287838

My question was:-


"Ever since I joined in 2004, I have had my membership showing as Single Membership

Every year, GR has sent me a renewal email, and I have renewed within the time period.

I am considered a continuous member because I have never let my subscription lapse.

Does this message that appears when I ticked Auto Renew OFF mean what I think it means?

"By turning off auto renewal your subscription will be left to expire on the 9th June 2012. Also any features purchased with this subscription will also expire on the same date."

In plain words, does that message mean that GR WILL NO LONGER BE SENDING EMAILS TO MEMBERS WHO USE THIS FUNCTION TO REMIND THEM THAT THEIR SUBSCRIPTION WILL END AS OF A CERTAIN DATE.

In other words, will you really deny a member renewal, and much more importantly, increase the subscription from the £9.95 per year to $19.95 per year?"


The response from Katie was:-

"Hi Sylvia - Apologies for the confusion. The sentence; "By turning off auto renewal your subscription will be left to expire on the 9th June 2012. Also any features purchased with this subscription will also expire on the same date" does not mean that we will not be sending you an email to remind you of your renewal. We will always remind you that your subscription is coming to an end.

'Features' are a form of mini subscription available to Platinum members. If a Platinum member wants to view Parish records or any other records not included in their Platinum membership they have the ability to add that 'Feature' to their subscription. This is what we mean by features. As you have pointed out it does not make much sense for Standard members, so I will have a think about how I can make this clearer. "

Anyone remember jellied veal or am I imaging things?

SylviaInCanada Report 9 Jan 2012 20:58

if you remember, I had problems last year because GR decided that I had to pay in US dollars seeing as how I lived in Canada


I worked out that I would end up paying almost twice the pound sterling amount of £7.50, which they had offered me in an email.


Obviously, I complained ................ but they faffed around so much that my sub ran out


and I was reduced to a free member, like Cyn was


I dickered back with them ............ changed my place of residence to UK as that is apparently the only way in which they could charge my card in pounds sterling not US $

They then charged my card at the FULL rate ................... and finally remitted some back to the card.


I THINK I finally ended up paying the £7.50 they'd offered me!



I am disturbed at the letter sent to ja...x


I like to have my membership as Single, so I control which card I use ..... it's been like that since I joined, but I always have to check because it changes back to the default position of Continuous quite regularly.

Just a few weeks ago, I tried to change it back to Single, and a note came up that implied one only got the benefits of long-time (ie, pre 2007) membership if you stayed on Continuous.


I finally got an answer from Rachel on a thread on Suggestions (I think), that all benefits of past membership stayed no matter whether you had Single or Continuous.



I must try to find that thread

Just because I added my name to this site in 2007 does not mean I used it...they never got any money out of me till 2010 when I decided to try and build some sort of tree

That other site beginning with an A says I have been a member since 2004....news to me?
