    Cooking with Jhnbrbr

    You don't have to give up good food just because there's a recession. This traditional favourite is tasty and highly nutritious - but you'd be hard pressed to find anything more economical!

    WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
    800g mashed potato (for variety, mashed swede/parsnip may also be used)
    2 tins Tesco "Value" chopped tomatoes
    3 large cooking onions
    Stock cube
    Seasoning & herbs to taste
    Land Rover or other 4WD vehicle
    12-bore shotgun (preferably double-barrelled)
    Length of stout timber
    Body bag
    Butcher's bandsaw
    Industrial mincing machine

    METHOD
    By mingling inconspicuously in shops and pubs, attempt to ascertain where the farmers' flocks are grazing. Get one of the locals to draw you a map if possible. Load your equipment into the 4WD and head for the hills. After parking 2-300 metres from the site, make the final approach on foot, approaching from down-wind to avoid detection, especially if dogs are present, or your personal hygiene isn't all that it might be. Once you have located the flock, you will find what you are looking for sitting on a grassy hillock a few metres away. If you are fortunate enough to be presented with a choice of targets, remember that the younger ones yield the most succulent meat. Take careful aim, then squeeze the trigger very slowly and smoothly. If a clean kill is not achieved, despatch using the length of timber.

    Well that's all for now folks. I'll complete this recipe for Shepherds Pie tomorrow.

    That sounds good, I like Shepherds pie. Your recipe could be useful, there is a short supply of shepherds round here.

    I'll stick with the mead Margaret, but I've got a nice bottle of dry Damson wine if you fancy something fruity.

    Laughter is the best medicine

    Two signs spotted at the local hospital this morning. On the reception desk:

    DUE TO COMPUTER UPGRADE, THERE MAY BE DELAYS CHECKING IN

    And on the wall a chart entitled

    STAFF UNPLANNED ABSENCE CALENDAR

    The most famous was the notoriously incompetent Little Bo Peep. As they said at her industrial tribunal, to lose one sheep is unfortunate, to lose the whole ruddy flock is downright negligent.

    I think she was fleeced, by someone who pulled the wool over her eyes.


    The girl who lost her sheep you know
    Is now some inches thinner
    Because she hasn’t been able to have
    Her roast lamb Sunday dinner
