Bah humbug

It's the 5th November, spent fireworks are still raining down like a meteor shower, the smell of bonfires is still lingering around like a political sex scandals and Tescos have their Christmas turkey advert running almost every hour on c5


For pity's sake it's far too early for Christmas adverts, I haven't even eaten all the chocolates from last years advent calendar yet...


Bah humbug one and all

M&S has had Christmas trees up for a few weeks already. Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are out of the way there's only Remembrance Day to go before it's full-on piped festive music everywhere.


Sometimes think we need another holiday between now and Christmas as a buffer, like Thanksgiving in the US or Sinter Klaas in NL. Maybe we could do something with St Andrew's Day (30 Nov).

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
