Type II Diabetes

[panther]

There's a great web site and organisation The Insulin Dependent Diabetic Trust, http://www.iddt.org. Aimed at promotoing animal insulin usage, it gives a lot of valuable information of diabetes in general and associated problems, it's also free to join, but a donation is welcomed.

I've found it very useful, and not perhaps as "pc" as some sites.

First, I appoligies for athe off topic spin going here...

Hi Iamarealbigdog,

I've seen this reaction before, Americans seem to giggle like little girls when faggot is mentioned. A faggot is a meat parcel like a burger containing offal spices and pork. The best recipe I've found is Here. I'm sorry I don't believe that minority communities should be able to take certain words and change there meaning so that common folk cannot use them.

Whoa... Hold up there.... First there was no sexual reference made here. There are a lot of terms that are lost in translation, very common terms thrown around. Trying to figure out that rusk was took me a month to figure out it�s a version of bread crumbs.

The best definition of faggot I had was a bundle of sticks or a smoke, how that was getting into sausage terms... I gave up guessing and just starting asking, explaining that is a pond translation thing. In sausage making terms there are more then a few innuendos I can think of, more make me smirk then this one. I try to remain grown up, most times.

I would like to point out the very nature of this board is international, most of us, being traditionalist, and purist, who cares where we are from. I think it important to recognize there are culture and translations issues. Who am I to lecture a �Sausage Great� on board conduct, I am not worthy to do so, nor do I know what the history is here, I just want to point out there was no disrespect intended.

Oh and lastly, it�s not good form to batch Canadians in with Americans, same as calling Irish, Scotts and English from the same pot. My uncle from Edinburgh near turfed my spouse for doing such.

OK back on topic.........

Hi Iamarealbigdog,
I didn't really look at your nationality. My mistake. Take yourself out of the equation, and I still feel the same. Stealing words like faggot and gay are stealing our heritage, in the case of faggot our food heritage.

[Iamarealbigdog]

No offence taken or implied.....


I'm just thrilled to partake on these discussion and learn from the masters...

Scrubber used to be a perfectly good word for a cleaning lady I remember my Dad (who taught in a London Secondary School) coming home when I was about the age of my own son (so about 35 years ago) and telling me that he was no longer allowed to call a biro a black ball pen.

The language moves on for right or wrong...

I think that is only true if we the common folk allow it to be true. To be honest, I don't know any other way of accurately describing a faggot.

[saucisson]

I can find lots of definitions, I'm not sure thats a good thing...

* Faggot (slang), a pejorative term for a homosexual or effeminate man
* Faggot (food), a British meatball commonly made of pork offal
* Faggot (unit of measurement), an archaic unit of measurement for bundles of sticks
* Faggot (wood) (or fagot), bundle of sticks or branches
* Faggots (novel), a novel by Larry Kramer
* Faggoting (metalworking), a metalworking technique
* Faggoting (knitting), a knitting term
* Ashen faggot (or ashton fagot), a British Christmas tradition
* Fire and Faggot Parliament, an English Parliament of 1414.

My own usage would give me meat ball, bundle of wood, man of a different persuasion in that order.

Dave

[Oddley]

Yes I agree, we should be able to use all the definitions in context, without fear of derision or harassment.

[saucisson]

I edited my post while you were posting Oddley, hope it still makes sense.

Dave

[Oddley]

Yes, dave it still makes sense.

[saucisson]

thank goodness for that

This is an interesting recipe because it is bovine rather than porcine based:

If anybody makes that recipe, I would be very interested in the outcome. I think it would be totally different to the pork recipe.

Yes, in normal intercourse that would be desirable.

Hi
I understand how "Iamarealbigdog" feels because I have recently joined a North American forum for a car I just bought and although I can read every word I am unable to make sense of most of the sentences.

I also have problems with what people on the other side of the Atlantic say about BBQ

Edit
not too sure what they mean in Yorkshire either

Across the pond is not as bad and speaking to a Newfoundlander or who was once refereed to as a "newfie" (now a derogatory term).

A faggot is a pile of half dried codfish
everybody is "yer buddy"
A clit is a tangle in yer hair

Any how, I saw the recipe for the faggots,... Guys I just cant bring myself there, nobody within 10 km is going to eat it. It must be a culture thing. I tell you, I made a haggis with tatties and nips on the 25th last month and I had only myself and one taker. She would not eat the meat just the turnip and potatoes, I just can't sell it.

My spouse claims that it will kill my cholesterol, I have to agree if I'm goin to blow my diet, it not going to be on organ meat...
