Porkshire Trotettes Recipe and a Disney Dog


I REALLY WANT A DISNEY DOG LIKE "PEANUT" FROM THE KINGSMILL ADVERT:

Can you believe NOBODY has put Peanut the dog on Youtube? You have to click here, and you can see him in all his Disney cuteness ... scrabbling at the window because his cruel owers have blamed sandwich theft upon him ... poor swine ...

But if you're too lazy to click, here's a doggie just like Peanut the Kingsmill dog being tormented by a nasty biscuit-eating child:



HERE'S THE RECIPE FOR MY YORKSHIRE TROTETTES:

Trotettes are simple:
get Iceland's own precooked Yorkshire puddings (the type with batter already risen).

Cook beef/lamb, cauliflower/broccoli cheese, vegetables, gravy.

Slam in Yorkshire puddings for last 5 mins.



FROM GERMANY'S BILDZEITUNG:

Hornissen attackieren Schulklasse

Haßloch ~ Eine Schulklasse unternahm in Hassloch (Rheinland-Pfalz) einen Ausflug, ging in einen Wald. Plötzlich fiel dort ein Schwarm aufgeregter Hornissen über die Kinder her ~ offenbar waren sie dem Bau zu nahe gekommen. Drei Schüler, die Lehrerin (30) und ein Jogger (51) wurden durch Stiche verletzt, mußten ins Krankenhaus. Der Förster schaffte den Hornissenbau vom Waldweg fort.


German tabloid style is a little different from the English, so I cleared it up as best I could without straying too far from a literal translation:

HORNETS ATTACK SCHOOLCHILDREN

Hassloch ~ a school class went on a woodland walk in Hassloch (Rheinland-Pfalz). Suddenly a swarm of angry hornets attacked the children, who had obviously strayed too near the insects' nest. Three pupils, the teacher (30) and a passing jogger (51) have been treated in hospital for stings. Forest management removed the nest.

  2. Have you tried making your own Yorkshire Puddings? They're much tastier. :)

  3. Syd: Icelandic puddings? That's one way of putting it. Iceland is a frozen-food supermarket for lower-class folks, which is why I use it!

    Akelamalu: Never tried! Though I beat my Mum's batter when I was about 11 and the resulting pudding came out football-sized ..

  4. Isn't Yorkshire pudding hard to make? My Grandmother always fussed about the way they rise when you chuck em in the over.

    A couple of weeks ago my Ma was in her garden and stepped on a hornets nest. She got stung 12 times and had to go to the emergency ward. She was told that once one stings you they leave a chemical in you that the others can smell, so they follow and this is why people usually get stung multiple times with hornets. I think the same goes for yellow jackets.

  5. HORNETS? What on earth were they doing in her back garden?? I am glad I don't live in Canada! Yes the evil swines emit an attack chemical.

    YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS aren't that hard to do nominally well. But like rice cooking, I think there's a definite art to getting them perfect ...

  6. Nothing worse than angry hornets. I know, I've been on the receiving end of that. Horrible beasties they are.
