If I remember my O-level biology it's something to do with bile or somesuch. Which is probably why you don't see it nestled next to the kidneys, livers and hearts in the good butchers.
 
Bet you a pound to a penny we all eat it in cheap burgers, sausages and pies though.

The irony is I'd be too dead to have some as well. Because it sounds quite good.

She'll still track you down and rip out your duodenum and have it on toast for breakfast.

Dunno, it was mailed in December and that's all I know. Still, it got here "dreckly", as they say in Kernow.
 
I wasn't there when the parcel arrived, we were out first time and asked for it to be re-directed to the pub. When the postie handed it to Bev The Scary Lancastrian Waitress he was consumed by nosiness. "That's from America that is. What d'ye think it is, having come from America and all?"
 
Being BTSLW, she sent him on his way with a black pudding flea in his ear. And then spent a long time casting meaningful looks at the package herself, ripe with possibilities as it was.

Packed full of cool magazines and books all about Oklahoma, cowboys (already big favourite with young Charlie) and an Oklahomian cook book! Thank you Driver8
 
 
 
 
Could someone let BdB know so that she can fill in the last entry on her list? I know it'll make her feel a lot better

Love it

My parcel arrived today! (forwarded on from home).  The lovely Betterdaze sent me a lovely little card which I failed to read first.  instead I opened the smallest packet which was some beautiful beads for Lorna!  Then some comfy comfy socks (wearing them now), a purple cap for the Campbell County Fighting Camels (wearing now), and a Jazzy Christmas CD (will save for next year).  Thank you!  Also in the box were a few ymmy yummy chocolates, which I've already started eating :D
edit: reading this post through a second time, it becomes evident that I was woken by some drunk gits prank ringing the doorbell at about 4:15 this morning, and the I use the word 'lovely' too much.   Forgive my lack of sense
