Gone almost a decade now.I didn’t know that Paolo Tullio was dead. RIP.
I believe Mangel Wurzels were the middle-ages peasant food of choice (the choice being eat them or starve). I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.I suspect that these were mangles, the toughest of all vegetables. As a kid I used to have to feed these into a pulper, a machine with a handle on the outside, a feeder at the top, and a circular blade with notches cut in it. Turning the handle produced a stream of mangle slices into a container at the bottom for feeding to livestock.
Always curious about how machinery worked, I conspired to have my younger sister climb inside the pulper to observe proceedings when I turned the handle. Fortunately, one of my aunts appeared on the scene before "sis bits" emerged.
Had the pleasure of meeting him once in The Brehon Hotel in Killarney . He was giving a cooking demonstration. He was a very nice man RIP ..Gone almost a decade now.
No, that’s Bangkok, not Tokyo.

But how does that knowledge help save money? Also, the haggis is now an endangered species and I think posts encouraging hunting and eating them are irresponsible, whatever the accompaniment.AIUI, what we call a Turnip, the Brits call a Swede with the smaller purple version known as a Turnip, or Neep in Scotland ("Neeps & Tatties" being a traditional accompaniment to haggis)..
Do people actually hunt haggis? Not much of a challenge really?But how does that knowledge help save money? Also, the haggis is now an endangered species and I think posts encouraging hunting and eating them are irresponsible, whatever the accompaniment.
And steal the toilet roll for home while you're there?A very good way to save money is to skip off to the toilet when it's your turn to buy a round.
