A growler is a big hairy minge. No.... don't tell me.....is it Percy Bysshe Shelley.......or John Keats. Definitely one of the Romantic poets. Rog

A growler is a big hairy minge. That was my understanding also.

I haven't voted yet as I'm genuinely curious as to what others like. But Braunston Pickle is a good accompaniment. Hot or cold?

A growler is a big hairy minge. I have no idea how the hayseeds of the West country get from a big hairy minge to a pork pie, although Stumpy's post may go some way to explaing it π·

... if the locals eat the food it is probably safe.Β Is that because they have built up an intolerance and their immune system is used to it. Because they drink the water too. A bit like my kids are very rarely I'll. Because we've never stopped them eating mud pie, yet our friends kids who strangely get Calpol everyday and live a steralisied life, are always Ill.

A bit like my kids are very rarely I'll. Because we've never stopped them eating mud pie, yet our friends kids who strangely get Calpol everyday and live a steralisied life, are always Ill. I agree with your hypothesis. I rarely get ill, and I lived a pretty rough childhood. My parents never had the time to be precious about what we did. I suppose most kids growing up after WW2 were in much the same boat. SWMBO was brought up in a household of 14 with 3 bedrooms and the playroom was the farmyard. Whenever I have worked in a less developed country I have started off being a bit careful, and gradually relaxed, drinking and eating with the locals. No particular tummy upsets after the first few weeks. I believe the water quality in the UK is not a lot better than many European countries, and I have heard that the Spanish regularly get tummy upsets while they acclimatise to our water, which contradicts the usual belief that their water is not as clean as ours. Which goes to prove your point to some extent. Today my daughter is so so careful of her 2 lovely kids, so much so that they are regularly off colour, tummy upsets, coughs and colds.

Hot with mushy peas and mint sauce. But they must be West Yorkshire pies with the light pastry. Not the greasy MMickey Mowbray ones which must always be eaten cold with Branston Pickle (unless you can find some Braunston pickle of course).

How odd... the forum won't let me type M e l t o n because it keeps changing it to MMickey.

Ours drink from the hosepipe play in mud. Throw cow pat frisbies, the lot. The same way I was brought up. Nothing better than friendly bacteria. That's interesting about the water. I suppose it's not worse just different. I don't do ill and if I do, I man up. I've had one day off work sick in 16 years but even that was because I was hospitalised. And for the thread, I love pork pie not sure I've ever had it warm though.
