Ah yes. E once spent 15 minutes in a Polski sklep trying to persuade herself not to buy one.

It's probably made with pork lard.

Mmmm, lardy cake. They make a fantastic one in the baker's shop in Street. Someone once brought one back to the lab for the communal tea break and was considering buttering it, until we pointed out there was no room for any more fat...

Don't you know what, many years ago, Walls decided to do with the fat from their pork sausage factory?

I do cos the ice cream was not Kosher.
I'm pretty sure it's all veg fat now though (my sister eats it...)

I never ate Walls again after I heard that. It was one of the many thoings that ruined my childhood.  The horrible image of pork fat being whipped up into yellow emulsion with Vanilla flavour and passed of as Ice Cream shattered my illusions.

And whats Mr Whippy ice cream?  Non dairy and non vegitable fat.

In the course of my business I have had to visit a pig 'processing' plant. The almost human screams echoing inside were just a little unnerving.

Considerable energy has been put in over the years to make fat palatable, Ice Cream, British 'Chocolate', pies, processed meats etc. One of the defining characteristics of a good long distance cyclist is the ability to process fats. That's why so many of us are struggling to keep our weight down. What it does mean is that I could go into a shop in Poland and buy a tin of these products and get another 100 miles out of them. I wonder what the calories per 100 gram are?

Did it end with a nice bacon sandwich?

[TimO]

Mmmmm, Smoky Bacon Ripple Ice Cream.

Yes there is! Specially if it's like the one we bought in Beaminster the other day. Just not enough lard.

And one of the very best cakes is called... Szarlotka! 

[Jasper the surreal cyclist]

Lamb dripping on toast is a weakness of mine I am afraid. Love the gelatinous goo at the bottom 


ABTW, has anyone else noticed that lots of pet food is labelled as not tested on animals?

[Ariadne]

All across Germany we got served breakfast including a plate of 'meat' and cheese - and some of that meat was the freakiest, scariest looking stuff. Variations on a theme of chopped gristle and jelly. And yet the German people around us scoffed it like it was a real treat - so it's just a matter of taste and what you're used to.

Fancy some head cheese?

I had some brawn once. It was on June 18th 1970.

Only with vinegar.  Mustard can be nice as well.  Plus some dark rye bread, of course.
