Food Hospital

[Ricky]

Just been watching the food hospital. Brilliant, The only sick vegetables in the food hospital were US!
It's a really interesting programme detailing how a change in diet can hugely help where medicines have not.It is carefully pitched so you realise it is not a perfect system and some operations may still be necessary but it does show you how to help yourself along. Go to their web site and check it out!

To be perfectly honest we were eating a large curry as we watched, but it gradually became less tasty!

Will my Bacon Sausage egg and mushroom barm have helped me this morning. I know it had psychological effects.

What is a "barm"?

[Graysalchemy]

Does this help

Barm cake is type of bun with flour on top. It has a characteristically strong flavour that comes from the traditional barm leaven made from a natural leaven with the addition of hops. However, the Barm Cake is more likely made from commercial yeast today.[citation needed]
The original barm cake is found in areas of Lancashire, North West England. In wider northern England, a similar bread roll would be known instead as a "breadbun", "breadcake", "bap", "cob" (an East Midland term), "teacake" (West Yorkshire/some parts of Cumbria; without currants or currant teacake with currants) or even (in the enlarged form of Tyneside) a "stotty".
Chips are a popular filling, sold in most fish and chip shops in the North West of England often called simply a 'chip barm'.[1] Another popular filling in the North West, particularly Bolton, is the pasty barm.[2]

Obviously a Northern Thing

There doesn't seem to be a southern version.Obviously a Northern thing

The best ham baps have been squashed from being in your rucsac all day and then eaten wet from the rain on top of a Lakeland fell

I agree and the Best Pint is when you have climbed the Old Man and made it back to the Black Bull in Coniston for a couple of pints of 'Old Man' (as long as your not driving)

Spooky that, I was in Coniston on Sunday, taking a few shots, with the camera that is.
Had thought about visiting David down in Windermere as I was in Ambleside for breakfast.
But he may not have been open as the tourist season is winding down.

Now that would be a combination a bacon barm and a pint of Old man. This is seriously reminding me of being a student again Sunday morning Fry up and a pint of Guinness in a cafe in Liverpool.

Sundays is my day off but I’m working this weekend at the Brantwood Craft Fair http://www.brantwood.org.uk/events.htm I’m showing my photography and shouting about conservation and hand finished frames I see you’re not that far away Ricky, if you should find yourself here again do call in, you’ll find me down by the Lake at Rayrigg Farm.... not many tourists get down this way so nice and quiet

Attached is a photo of mine of the Old Man that I’ll be showing at Brantwood, just finished framing it. I’m pleased with it as I’ve not done spacers and fillets before. I've had a few pints of Guinness in my time in L'pool as I grew up over the river

Great photo of coniston. One of my favourite places fond memories of camping at the old hall campsite in 80's and doing one of the worlds smallest pub crawls.

The Irish centre on mt pleasant used to be be best pint of Guinness in liverpool but you were only allowed in with an irish accent or with someone with one. Flanagans apple wasn't bad either.

What is a "barm"?
