I'd be overly tempted go and play in areas that used have a significant military presence shall we say? The magnet fishing would be similar. From the safety and legality perspectives, it's better that I don't have the equipment easily available!

Lapin à la basquaise is a favourite of ours. It's rabbit stewed with a mixture not a million miles from piperade. If you can handle French, google recettes de lapin, French supermarkets carry rabbit so there's a lot more variety. With any stewed rabbit recipe, I'd second the advice early in...

I'm interested, but it's on a list with metal detectors & camera drones. Anything I'd actually want to do with any of them isn't legal!

I remember looking at the ads for them in that very publication and dreaming. It was always the Aviator I fancied though. Given what those old fixed blades go for now, it's likely to remain a dream. It doesn't help that if I'd held onto my SWAT collection and got what people are asking on...

If you prep it well you can cook out the fat, but it gets really gamey. I don't care for goose at all, but I cooked it on Tuesday night for Michaelmas. Let's just say we're going back to duck next year!

One of the Spanish packs has squid.

I had a good dal recipe that used all store cupboard ingredients, nothing fresh at all. But I'm blowed if I can find it now. Will have a hoak in my old notebooks.

Yup, have a 23qt Presto, the old pre-induction one. Funny story (or maybe you had to be there) after years of trying to find one in the UK on eBay, I eventually tracked one down right here in Belfast. Bought it immediately and was negotiating collection in person with the seller when the eBay...

Maori Rewena bread is a good one. It's like a sourdough, with the starter, called 'bug' based on a boiled potato. You'll see recipes taking weeks to get things running, but trust me, the potato mash, flour, sugar and water will make a good enough starter to produce hard crust rolls in 24...

Soda bread, although it requires milk. Flour, salt, water & yeast will make excellent but short lived leavened bread, in France you can't call a baguette a baguette if it contains anything else. If you aren't concerned about French bread law you can add some oil to make it slightly more...

W.A.P Army Combat Camo on FB have advertised them this week at £20. No connection other than having bought off them by mail in the past, good lads IMO.

Lidl have a range of cabbage based east European 'stew' cans, some with sausage or pork pieces some entirely veggie. I love them, I eat them at home for lunch some days. But lord, you don't want to be around me afterwards.

It's a compromise based on what's sensibly achievable or likely to be observed. See also getting your five-a-day and a 21 unit weekly alcohol allowance. They're both almost arbitrary targets.

Google "Flying Jacob" and yes, I have had it (more than once).

Funny, I remember a caravan holiday with my grandparents when I was, primary school age anyway, when I ate very little, if anything but tinned custard! One of those wilful child things that my parents wouldn't have tolerated but grandparents, right?
