dollywobbler Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Have a random bump. Still 'planning' for this event. It'll be very minimalist because I want to keep costs to an absolute minimum. I'm tempted to ask the Scottish contingent to provide catering. Everyone needs to experience the magic of 'the slice.' davidfowler2000, cms206 and rml2345 3
barefoot Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm looking forward to this, what's 'the slice'?
cms206 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Have a random bump. Still 'planning' for this event. It'll be very minimalist because I want to keep costs to an absolute minimum. I'm tempted to ask the Scottish contingent to provide catering. Everyone needs to experience the magic of 'the slice.' You can really taste the corners. I'm sure some sort of arrangement could be made to provide slabs of lorne sausage; for the twisted among us blackheart lorne (lorne sausage with black pudding through it), black pudding, potato scones, Scottish morning rolls... If not all the catering, I'm sure we can bring a selection of local delicacies. skattrd and chaseracer 2
dollywobbler Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Aye - we'll have a hotel for most meals, but a dose of 'healthy' Scottish cuisine might be fun! Too many people missed out on the corners at Shitefest '13.
skattrd Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm looking forward to this, what's 'the slice'? Lorne (square) sausage.It's a big square sausage thats cut in to slices. Similar to normal sausages but with more fat and cereal. Well, that's my (English) opinion of it anyway.
davidfowler2000 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm looking forward to this, what's 'the slice'? It's a square sausage. Kinda like a burger but sausage and square flavoured. I'm sure me and Andy can provide caterings again. This time we can also come more prepared as the list of things that were "forgotten" was rather embarrassing when we met up for the trip south to Malham. Things like a cool box, proper utensils and a bigger frying pan will be more justified seeing how well the slice was received by the (albeit small) group who tried it in the North Yorkshire Dales. On my part a table for the wee stove would be nice. Like cms206 says...blackheart sausage, tattie scones and Morton's rolls are also a must. I may even get some proper Stornoway black pudding. Widely regarded as the best. M'coli and catsinthewelder 2
rml2345 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Do you get fruit pudding in the southern south? Quite like a slice of that...+1 for providing a Scottish breakfastular experience. davidfowler2000 1
skattrd Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Charles Macleod (Butcher aka Charlie barley) of Stornoway does postal deliveries of black pudding, haggis and other delicacies. http://www.charlesmacleod.co.uk/puddings.aspxHe also makes the best Scotch pies EVA, unfortunately his pies are not available by mail order
dollywobbler Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Refrigeration shouldn't be an issue when you're here. Either the hotel or our house should be able to provide chilling. Of course, you may want a coolbox to keep your beer cold. There may be sun. Possibly. If we're lucky. But best bring a brolly. You never know.
hairnet Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 You can really taste the corners. I'm sure some sort of arrangement could be made to provide slabs of lorne sausage; for the twisted among us blackheart lorne (lorne sausage with black pudding through it), black pudding, potato scones, Scottish morning rolls... ALL THIS as long as the stuff that begins with h stays in ecosse
phil_lihp Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Still looking forward to this, I have no idea what a slice is, my knowledge of scottish health food begins and ends with deep fried Mars bars and I've yet to try one. It'll be an education! It's entirely possible by then that I will also have managed to change the Rover's waterpump so that I don't have to stop every 20 miles to refill the coolant.
philibusmo Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 This is looming closer. Need to get the Lancia road worthy...
Sloth in a bowl Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Good location, a nice easy stroll from Brum, I must find some suitable shite to own for this.
HMC Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I certainly wont be missing this this time! shitefest 2012 at betaboys I nearly made it to (suitable excuse- I was off collecting a £400 merc 190) and immediately regretted it ( both missing shitefest and the merc -was a dog) MOT permitting ill be in the Sierra.
twosmoke300 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Is there off roading / green laning this time?
barefoot Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 If anyone is coming from, or via Middlesborough can you bring a Parmo as I have never tasted this delicacy.I, for my part can bring local raw, un-pasturised milk and some proper bacon if you like.
dollywobbler Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Is there off roading / green laning this time? Not planning on it, but there will be a scenic drive. This may include non-4x4-suitable greenlanes depending on how the planning goes. Even if it doesn't, we'll get well away from civilisation. Then possibly through Aberystwyth to scare the locals (though shite motoring is considered pretty normal around here!).
twosmoke300 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Ok, was thinking if taking my old trail bike in the back of the car that's all. No worries I just need to find some suitable shite.
twosmoke300 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Oh and I can bring proper Cornish pasties too
John F Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I do hope someone's going to arrange for a cow to fall through a roof. A Shitefest without bovine incidents is a Shitefest without dignity. vulgalour, SambaS, cms206 and 2 others 5
dollywobbler Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Hmm. The only bovine incident I was considering was the possibility of a BBQ! HMC 1
John F Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 That'll be fine Ian, it just has to fall through a roof
dollywobbler Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 I'll see what I can arrange. I'm hoping to get some quality* guest motors on site. A Hyundai Stellar is already looking fairly certain. One of the earliest in the UK! trigger 1
skoda_norman Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 If anyone is coming from, or via Middlesborough can you bring a Parmo as I have never tasted this delicacy.I, for my part can bring local raw, un-pasturised milk and some proper bacon if you like. You're really not missing much!! barefoot 1
Skizzer Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 I'm a big fan of lorne sausage, but we need some local nosh as well so I'll bring some cockles and laverbread. That'll sort us out.
anonymous user Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Please bring butteries! and jump-leads. I really ought to show my face at this one, but I have no idea how anti-social/depressed/suicidal I will be feeling in May, so depending how things are I may pop across. If I do manage to get my arse in gear it might be a nice outing for the TR7, most likely to be a last minute decision where I'll end up leaving an "I called but you were out" card at the field.
twosmoke300 Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 actually fuck bringing pasties , Cornish rattler cider should make for an interesting weekend. EVIL !!! barefoot and catsinthewelder 2
