Tangoman69 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I had crocodile many moons ago at Old Orleans in Bolton, by the Reebok. It was very tasty, but it got me back with a vengeance the next day, let’s say I needed Imodium…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Tried Gator in Florida a few years back. It was simply both tough and unpleasant, heavily reminiscent of mud. I suppose that should have been expected, as they are rather numerous, a constant nuisance, have lots of flesh, but have not become a major source of food..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried crocodile which was quite nice. It was farmed and the guide at the crocodile farm explained that it tastes like whatever they feed them. If they feed them on fish, it tastes like fish. If they feed them on chickens, it tastes like chicken. Then completely deadpan he said "so the wild ones out there taste like American tourist". 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted May 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7 Had 'gator tail in the Old Orleans in Cardiff years ago, not bad but I'd prefer conger eel if we are talking about that sort of thing. Old Orleans was a great night out though, the sort of seriously messy stick your face in it eating I love, they give you a full length polythene bib at the start of proceedings so you know it's going to be good! The place is a Harvester now, and I've no objection to Harvester but Orleans was much more characterful. And they were a dab hand with gumbo. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 A rhyme the more "advanced" children used to recite at primary school... Hey diddle diddle The cat did a piddle All over the kitchen mat. The little dog laughed to see such fun And he piddled all over the cat! Simpler times, eh? 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted May 8 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8 Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jill came down with half a crown, but, not for fetching water... Half a crown, two shillings and six pence, and the largest sized and denomination silver coin of the old system in my memory, though the crown, 5 shillings, 25p, was larger in both senses but was withdrawn before my time. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB-AU Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Richard Digance did a whole series of these. A couple of tamer ones he even did at a Royal Variety Performance. One I remember is... Rock a bye baby, on the tree top, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. I was that baby and what bothers me, Is why mum and dad stuck me up a tree. He also said he did one about the Grand Old Duke of York but added "nah, you'll tell". Edited May 9 by DavidB-AU 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 if you believe that AI is the future, then you should now be afraid..... very afraid! AI-generated subtitles can be a comedy show in their own right, as recent examples seen on Youtube and the BBC have proved. 1) A video about the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall placed it in the county of "tiny and weird" 2) Meghan and Harry are the "Juke and Dutch of Sex" 3) A documentary about microbe life in the oceans talked about "Fighter Plankton" (Should be phytoplankton) 1 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
