Well, I saw a two pots of it in the supermarket the other day and I bought
it for KFC, I thought it would be some sort of roe, soft and fishy taste to tempt her appetite. I took advice from the internet, and poached it. She did eat the first lot, but threw it up several hours later. She must have read what I did a bit later. It's the sperm sacs of male herrings. Boyfie did look at it and said no way Jose. Apparently some humans like to eat it on toast. We are all going to give it a miss and the other pot will be going in the bin. Eeewww. I don't think it will catch on here ;-) Tweed |

Can you take the unopened container to the store for a refund? Jill |

Can you take the unopened container to the store for a refund? Not really. They probably think I was stupid to buy it too ;-) It's in the garbage. It seemed a good idea at the time, I thought Kitty might like it. Ah, well, we live and learn., eh? Those of us who have CRF kitties (or d*gs) are continually looking for something that might take their fancy, as it's so difficult to find something they might like to eat. Tweed |

Kippers are quite nice (smoked herring) but we are grossed out now with the *milt* I can't think why Tesco would think even a cat would want to eat herring sperm sacs, let alone selling it for humans! Oh, yes, just give me a herring sperm sac to spread on my toast - I think not. I prefer cheese or a nice pate or even the egg spread that I make from the eggs I get from my chickens. Tweed |

Living in a little rural village i get lots of eggs from my neighbours for free. But my fantasy of preparing different dishes out of them is limited to the things I already know. Egg spread on toast would be a new delight. __________ I'll try. My German friend Nüle loved my egg spread when she was staying with me but it involves cheese. It was not easy to reproduce in Germany as I found when I was over there visiting her. German cheese - and I tried many varieties of it - is, well, unusual to a Brit shall we say, to be polite ;-) N also lives in a rural village (20 houses, no shops.) 6 hard boiled eggs 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 10 or so stems of chives cut up finely with scissors salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper 2 cm cube of mature cheddar cheese, finely grated * Put your eggs into a large basin and chop them finely with a pointed knife until they resemble small crumbs. It takes a while (N calls this "the cut knife meditation") but if you have an old fashioned pastry blender like this http://www.kitchen-classics.com/pastry.htm it makes it so much easier. Add the chives and cheese and mix it around a bit, then the salt and pepper, as much as you like to your own taste, then put the mayonnaise in and stir it round until it's moist. It's still ok without the cheese and another variation is to fry some fried bacon, cut it into very tiny pieces and add that instead. The cheese version does not work with mild cheese. I keep my egg spread in the fridge in a glass jar I bought for 20c at a fleamarket in Germany. It has a rubber seal and a metal clip that keeps it airtight. It's brilliant. I wish we could get them here, I would buy more of them. To get back to the subject of egg spread. It will keep in the fridge for around 5 days. If it lasts that long. Tweed |
