What a difference a day makes, wee breeze but warm, is it too early for a beer?

I will be heading soon, that's my Kegs packed (but no room for under ware) and a chiller for the beer seeing its going to be tropical on Orkney. Stopping off at Loch Morlich tonight, then set in the morning for the ferry at Scrabster 1 ish departure.View attachment 99002

What kind of mobile chiller do you use for the kegs? Mine have never left the keezer in the shed and I think they need a holiday in the hills.

Thanks a lot. Last question, is it only usable on EHU?

FOLLOWING ON FROM THE BLACK PUDDING COOK OFF:

Let's cut to the chase: you Scots don't know how to cook a black pudding!

First of all you fry it with the polythene wrapping!!!! What's that about?
Secondly, you slow fry it!!!! Wrong on so many levels.

Right, let an English tell you how to do it properly.

Snip off the polythene.
Drop the slice into the fry pan on a MEDIUM HEAT for a couple of minutes so it forms a light crust.
Flip the slice over and fry for another couple of minutes.
Job done, shove it in your gob and enjoy.

The slice won't break up if fried to a slight crust both sides and you will not take in polythene carcinogens done the PROPER way.

Glad to get that of my chest!

I can almost hear the rasp of dirks on whetstone and picture the blue face paint being applied.

See you at the Drum for a masterclass.

"FRYDOM"

I didn't coock it with the plastic on and was cooked in its own fat.

My old mate in Sneckie set fire to his house, he was ‘warming up’ a Scotch pie in the chip and nodded off. Basically his diet consisted of deep fried scotch pies and Irn Bru, proper highland cuisine.

The best way too cook black pudding believe it or not is to nuke it for a bit first to cook the centre then shallow fry on a high temp for a couple of mins removing the plastic garb first.
