Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Have a gander at this grossness (content not compatible with vegetarians, vegans or people who think meat grows in vacuum packs in supermarket warehouses). I was preparing a supermarket shop and the Spanish are not squeamish on the food front, which I like (new things to try) but I’ve finally found something I won’t be buying. I’d try it if someone else served it up but yer it’s not for me. It’s suckling lambs head (ie it’s such a baby it’s not weaned and is only drinking it’s mothers milk - or it was You can see the brains hanging out the back. I then googled recipes for lambs head curious about how you’d cook the different textures at the same time squelchy brain, muscle, rubbery tongue, eyeballs and still get a good result. Mistake. The first recipe that springs up is this pic- Followed by this cooked version replete with burst eyeball. Yum yum. It’s cheap though £2.46 so as Petes going to be paying through the nose to keep his daughter in law in a style she does not wish to become accustomed to I thought it would make an excellent welcome dish for her arrival?

Actually, although having had roasted baby lamb lots of times, when they're that small and haven't had proper pasture there is no flavor to the meat, it's also got very little texture so not my kind of thing. It's considered a delicacy all over Spain and northern Portugal, though, but the meat does improve a lot after some growth in my opinion. I prefer to eat nice meat that had a chance to live instead of factory farmed. The brains and head (except fish) aren't really a Portuguese thing, though, I've got nothing against eating brain but never have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they do make life a bit easier, Pete, but they are pedal assist, so you still have to pedal and the assistance cuts out above 25kph. There's 4 modes on these ones, which give varying degrees of assistance. The higher the assistance the shorter the range. On Eco mode I could probably get around 100km, but on Turbo mode I'd probably not see 25km. I tend to use Eco or the next mode (tour) most of the time, with a bit of EMBK ( e mountain bike) mode for short bursts on tricky bits. I've never used the Turbo mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested a properly nice one a year or two ago, a real big wheels and suspension mountain bike, wearing jeans and going 25kmh on a slight uphilll, if you've never ridden a normal non assisted bicycle it'll fool you into thinking that's a normal pace. It's like you're spiderman waking up the next morning after being bit by the spider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classed as a hybrid, but the chunky tyres are meant more for offroad, although it is ok on road. I was amazed at the difference compared to a standard bike. Hills are no longer avoided, in fact I actually pick routes with a few hills now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, when I used to ride a bicycle I would love downhills, on the motorcycle I prefer corners uphill too ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
