Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

Lowering?

Interesting!

Classic Yorkshire Pudding

Best served with a side of beef on the trencher


Like Grandma used to make - the secrets of success are Hot Oven, Hot Fat and Hot Heavy Pans.

I find semi-skimmed milk is better than full cream. Some cooks use half and half milk and water. Originally the pudding was cooked below the joint to soak up the meat juices which dripped down from the shelf above. Nowadays the puddings are often cooked in the top of the oven while the meat is resting and the puddings can be served as a first course or as an accompaniment. We've got main course and dessert recipes later.

Ingredients

125g / 4oz sifted plain flour
a pinch of salt
1 large / 1 medium egg
300ml / half pint semi-skimmed milk
oil or melted dripping

Make sure the oven is hot - 220C / 475F / Gas Mk 8.

Using a wooden spoon, gradually beat the egg and milk into the flour and salt until you have a smooth batter. Beat well and leave to stand.
Pour a little oil or dripping into each cup of a heavy gauge bun tin (I use a cast iron American Popover Pan). Alternatively use a roasting tin for one large pudding. Place in the hot oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Beat the batter again and decant into a jug for speed. Without allowing the oil to cool, pour the batter into the hot pans, half filling the cups. Bake for 12 - 20 minutes - depending on size - until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
Try not to open the oven door until they're done - glass doors are useful. If you have to, just open it enough to take a quick peek.

How about some pork dishes? ;)

i've got a very good bbq spare rib recipe if you like, but it's my bedtime now (i'm very old and need my horlicks!)

============

yorkshire pud
i use more eggs than that, and also a little water in the mix .... that creates steam and makes the pud lighter
i also make it in one big dish rather than individual .... the result is quite eggy and soft, but that's the way we like it

Yes, please.
If a Jew and an Arab could sit down together and enjoy spare ribs, then there is definitely hope :)

only if they are Adam's Ribs

preferably from Dearborn St, Chicago
:-)

Israeli likes Arab kids ribs...if they are in the menu israeli will join for sure.

fahel, are you sure you're not fred/nazi nick's alter ego?

hey fred/nazi nick, I see you've been kicked out as boss of the nazi BNP.
Couldn't even get that right could you? LOL

i assume kids as in goats!
not something one sees in uk, except perhaps in some specialised enclaves
of course the reason for not eating pork was really for very good health reasons, though this has now been translated into religious dogma

Same with shell fish.
I mean to eat shellfish in the middle of the desert..........

It's just as well there are plenty of decent Muslims around lest people think fahel is typical.

exactly so, though i believe the wording is "fish without scales" and because of this, eel is deemed to be non-kosher (treff) as the scales are so tiny that they appear to be without.

there are similar interesting kosher rules, though not halal i think, which preclude the eating of hindquarters of cattle as the blood (which is what sends meat off quickly) is difficult to drain properly - too many veins or something along those lines

What surprised me is the amount of fear that this thread seems to have engendered in some posters.

Judging, by the hostility within many of the postings, any discussion of a topic which is not to the liking of some, gains and immediate responses and an attempts to suppress, or to destroy any possibility of discussion.

It reminds me of observing the behaviour late child and early adolescent behaviour, which can be witnessed in some schools. A group is playing a game, or doing something which is obvious interest to them, draws the attention of an another seemingly aimless group, who swagger over and try break the activity up. This is done either physically, or by verbal abuse.

Unfortunately, for some, this pattern of behaviour continues in some to later life. As shown by foot ball hooligans, binge drinking, general ya-boo adopted in childhood.

Very much like, if we dont like it, then we will try to destroy it , smash it , bring it down to our own level of thinking or behaving, Then we can show or tell the gang will think we are superior.

This is similar to what is seen racial abuse and other areas of society,/
.
Fascinating to watch, but if this is what we are witnessing, or observing and is representative of the present adults generation, I wonder what their offspring will be like.

(Stop the world I want to get off.)

fred - are you surprised that everyone is totally bored with you and your verbose and pretty repetitive postings?

"stop the world i want to get off" .... please allow us to help!

Cynic,

As you know, you don't have to read my postings, but it is surprising to me how often feel the "need" to do so.

I am not certain whether there is such a thing as poster stalking, or group poster stalking.

But you do keep on popping up.

answer - i very rarely read them

There is definitely something called paranoia.

If fahel and fred stop their hatred then maybe............
