Today I acquired...........

[Memmeddu]

Got the impact, grinder, cordless drill set on Tuesday morning, really got to use them today.
I'm making a dedicated thread/review First impression thread in the dedicated section

To be honest they are not great but they are not that bad either, they do the job I need them to do.
I'm pretty happy with them for now.
By the custom socket someone would imagine what they just did.
Little spoiler in the background about my Next video on YouTube.
Anyways in a matter of minutes you'll have something to read in the tool section.

I was thinking the same, it looks like one sandwich and it'll be gone. Though we have nothing for scale, it might be sitting on a branded yacht sail.

It looks very rotten around the natural edges , but then again the French will eat anything that does not have legs , hair , feathers or fur .

The French will eat anything as long as they know what it is.

The English will eat anything as long as they don't know.

The Chines will eat anything even if they know what it is!

My son went to China for work, taken out for a meal, there was a communal pot of some type of chicken soup. The Chinese dug in & pulled out a complete chicken’s head complete with neck, beak, comb & eyes then proceeded to pick it up & knaw on it. Puts you off slightly. The other delicacy was jelly fish, good job he’s got a tough constitution & isn’t fussy! His colleagues knew what was coming & refused to go.

If you are going to kill something to eat it then at least eat of much of it as you can. That said I find corn on the cob husks almost inedible.

I've chatted with someone who was in China for work, and was taken out to a restaurant one evening.
He adopted the approach that if they serve it in a restaurant, then it'll be edible, and he let the locals select dishes for him.
Testes and brains were apparently involved, but he waited until after he'd eaten before asking

I ordered a pork belly dish in a restaurant in Singapore and they refused to serve it to me, because "English people don't like Chinese pork belly". I tried to argue but they weren't having it, I had to choose something else.

When it said pork belly, are you sure it meant belly rather than stomach? English people generally aren't keen on pig's stomach! Chinese pork belly on the other hand is delicious!

Tripe is what I'd assume. Absolutely delicious.

We were on one of the Greek islands years ago, my wife ordered cyclop off of the menu fortunately the waiter pointed out it was one sheep’s eye

 

[MetalMonkey]

I recall when I was in Hong Kong out for a meal with some friends and colleagues, one young lass was enthusiastically tucking into a bowl of chicken’s feet and spitting out the claws.
I like Chinese food for the most part, but that really didn’t appeal to me.

 

[Kram]

Chicken feet? I assume thats very chewy.

My local chinese sells crispy shreaded chicken or beef in spicy sauce. I quite like the sauce, but always very suspicious of the meat!

I had to explain to a french waiter that I knew what andouillette was and I was going to eat it.

I had a similar experience with a tripe dish. There were a lot of smiles when I ordered it, including from the waiter. I think that they were surprised to see the plate finished.

I bought some on holiday & bunged it on the Barbie, the skin burst open & the intestines unravelled, still ate it though.

 

[Kram]

No thanks. It would be the dirty French to invent such a food.

 

[MattF]

Some consumables for both the standard & pilot arc torches.





The ceramic cup thingies are in the white boxes.

 

[Barking Mat]

Tripe and andouillette is a bit special.

The French compare them to politics, it should smell off **** a bit.

I can't abide it.
