So I thought I would have another go at making amadou. Gathered 2 nice conks from near Braemar and prepared them as normal.

I think I'm a bit shy at taking the outer layer off as when I move onto processing after boiling I find lots of wee hard bits. I cut off the wee bits and bobs and keep all of the small pieces aswell. I spoent ages last time with a hacksaw blade making fluff but this time I went for it big time.

Small amount of amadou, some bits quite brittle

into the old coffee grinder (well chopper really as it has spinning blades)

makes this amount

The pile of left overs produced this much on a dinner plate.

Don't put too much in the grinder at one time- It chokes up! Thanks for looking.
