I have made a quite decent discovery today.. 
A little market stall run by a company called "UNUSUAL FOOD co"..they sell some really good stuff, and are available online as well...had some of their Cheeses this evening with a glass of wine...
(ok a bottle of wine..  you fella's know me too well by now!!!!!)
Seaweed Cheese?? tasted gorgeous, Cheese with Horseradish and mustard seed....FANTASTIC with a nice white wine.. 
They are really into the Organic/traditional way of making food...Any of you who are into your food, these people are well worth looking at....some of the stuff is odd , Pickled eggs with Chilli??..gonna try them , and the stuff they sell really is top quality!!
I'm going back to buy more for definate! They are going to be at the Festival Park shopping site,EBBW VALE, every weekend leading up to Xmas...
I googled unusual food to get the website...

I had some deep fried flowered pigs intestines abroad once in a black squid ink sauce.
Bit like port scratchings really. I drew the line at Durian (it is a really foul smelling fruit - tastes like heaven, smells like hell). My mate had some and he smelled of it for 3 days after.
Eeeeewwwwwwww!

Brave. I have always wondered about that.
How come it tastes good but smells so bad-how does that work-taste is after all mostly made up by smell.

Ihad a Hungarian diswasher a couple of years ago that wanted to cook me something from there. I have no idea what it was called but as far as I could tell it was tripe soup. That shit stunk up the entire resturant for two days.

Ahh yes that may be the delicious Pacal Leves or Pörcölt  -and yes it probably would be tripe as that is a normal dish for very poor people who cant afford real meat-and yes it smells orrible and tastes just as bad IMO

I am getting into it TBH.....I find with meat especially, if it's Organic and has been raised properly the taste is so much better than the mass produced crap you get in Tesco's....If we have friends or relatives over , I will go out and buy Organic local produce.....The local Beef and Poultry are second to none
The Bacon I buy is superb, no White stuff coming out when you fry it, no shrinking visibly in the pan...And the taste.......Awesome...
I don't mind spending a couple of quid more for it..

Best I hide Mrs Immys grandmothers larder-she has pigs-yes I know its the 21st centuary and all that but she is almost self sufficeint-and no electricity either. The bacon is super-as are the free/r eggs(and the chickens come to that).And she 92 this year and makes some rather errr nice alcoholic stuff

I would recommend the good food show too, lots of freebies, problem was I had too many, I remember a whisky that was infused with lemon, I've never seen it since, I'm not too sure of the name I think it was Hedonism or something.
Anyone heard of it?

I have to agree-before being a plod I was a Chef(Thanet tech Broadstairs-Hotel Managenment and Catering course 72to 74) and even years later with all major supermarkets producing ready made foods M and S were and IMO always will be light years ahead of the rest-i did miss them till they opened in Budapest I really cannot fathom how they can do it for the price they charge-it is very good-quality and quantity

Yes Makka...he's a growing lad, he needs to be fed properly!!!
Mrs has realised that with the M&S meal deal we can have 6 friends/relatives over , and feed them ALL for £40 quid, with 4 bottles of wine in the price as well..
Plus the minimum of buggering about preparing everything............I'm beginning to REALLY like Marks & Spencers...

He is the steak.
Not my kid BTW
I can't stand the little buggers, at least after an hour or two anyway.
This one spilt a candle all over my table and broke a glass during the course of the evening. As well as the usual stuff of needing attention all the time and being loud.
And he's a really nice kid.
Imagine if I had to deal with a horror one.
Intelligently applied violence is often the answer.
Oh yeah.
Not that I've ever had to I hasten to add for all the namby pamby nanny state politically correct types out there.
The very best thing about eating that M&S stuff is all the poison you get to take in with it. So you don't have to get your poison fix by breathing in a city or eating white bread or drinking "normal" beer, or any of the other myriad of ways that you can give yourself cancer these days.
Of the last ten or so people I know who have died nine have been cancer, and the one that didn't had already had a breast removed so probably would have if something worse hadn't happened along.
Ask yourself what % of the people you know are dying are cancer.
I don't believe the statistics unless they are saying that it is by far the number one killer.
cup of tea anyone?

Oh yeah....My ex has stated that she doesn't smack the boy as she doesn't believe in it...he came to mine and tried to throw a wobbler...If he did!!!!
Just the slightest hint of a bit of justified violence and the wobbler came to a grinding halt..he was totally unsure of what to do...nobody had ever threatened to smack his arse before..... 
Needless to say he's pretty well behaved ...

Shit Happens, one thing I can be sure of is dying..I've come to close to it , too often, to really give a shit about it anymore!!! All these health Nazi's make me laugh.....I'm gonna die one day, I would rather die fat and happy than wondering why years of health food shakes haven't worked....
I want them to pickle me in Brandy for a month before I get cremated...and make a big fuck off bang when I get stuffed in the oven!!!
