Sporadically speaking

Note to self: next time stick to things that you know are at least vaguely of a French or Hungarian origin when it comes to food experimentation.

I suppose what really went wrong with this dish wasn’t the entire thing itself but rather the added fry bit. I substituted diced pork for lamb liver and ended up with fairly overcooked pork that really wasn’t all that appetising. And there are few things more discouraging in life than hard, nasty meat. Having removed the pork, the overall dish was still really very salty and only just about manageable with a dry bit of toast on the side. It turned into more of a broth type of affair and that wasn’t quite what I was looking for today. Still, at least I know that it’s a dish that’ll knock me sideways if I ever attempt to eat it again so I suppose I’ll know what to avoid. Part of the added effect is probably also due to the fact that I tend to cook with little or no salt on most occasions because I can follow medical advice on occasions I’m just that lazy too.

And now I’m too sleepy to give any further commentary on the matter so have a quiz-like thing instead in the form of an RPG name generator, which gave me:

The Great Archives determine you to have gone by the identity: Marquis of Angels
Known in some parts of the world as: Consort of The Hungry
The Great Archives Record: One of the poor who howl at the door of the Rosary and the garlic strung cross.

To which I’ll say only this; it’s Herzog, you numbnuts.

I did this thing while on the phone attempting to make a GPs appointment... and I stole it from antyllus.

I’ll just be over here in my corner with all the other Erbherzogs then: we have gin and canapés, you know.

Well no, but I did a quiz that told me that I’m that kind of messed up. I suppose I could always be Piter De Vries instead.
