Did you like the "shepherds pie thing" enough to want to have it again?
If so you can make one. It's easy.

I don't remember whether I liked it enough to make it myself; I just
said I thought I'd eaten it. Is it anything like a pastie?

Only insofar as a meatloaf is like a chilli.

I was thinking something similar when I wrote that. :-)

I thought of Meatloaf

We had Spag. Bol. last week.

Never buy mince meat in hot weather.


Now that's got to be a Cathyandbillism.

I'm not sure about frankfurters tbh, but the others are normally raw.

arent frankfurts something thats double cooked?

I imagine those cheap ones that are half cereal are. I don't buy those,
though. I get mine--when I get any--from a butcher shop called The
Butcher Shop where they make great sausage of assorted kinds and have
the best bacon around.

You *get* them, rather than *buy* them, from the German butcher with whom
you cohabit?

Do you eat mett when in Germany? I think it's delicious, and no

Mettwurst?
No, Mett.
Don't know what that is, so it's unlikely.
Raw minced pork.
Trichinosis(or however it's spelled). I would never eat raw pork.
Guess what Mettwurst is made of.
Isn't all sausage "cured" in some manner? (i.e. smoked or chemically
"cooked", if not actually exposed to enough heat to kill harmful organisms?)
No, not really. What about those which are intended to be cooked before
being eaten: bratwurst, gillwurst, frankfurters, English breakfast sausages
.... any number.
You don't consider that "cooking"? ..

What would you call it?


..Anyway, I've never seen "raw"
frankfurters in the U.S. - the package ALWAYS says "fully cooked". Most
other sausages are packaged pre-cooked, also - although you some may be
available either way. (True, most are improved by grilling or heating
in some fashion, but nevertheless many indicate cooking is optional.)

I'm not sure about frankfurters tbh, but the others are normally raw.

My point was that the sausages mentioned in your rebuttal are not
intended to be eaten without cooking. The subject of this diversion of
the thread was eating raw (i.e. uncooked) pork (in sausages or
otherwise).

Exactly! (But the second "cooking" is a matter of taste, not necessity
- they CAN be eaten straight from the package, and frequently are,
by American teenagers.)

why would you think you would get food poisoning from eating fresh fish
that didnt smell? If a fish seller smells of ammonia, dont buy there.
I was referring to American supermarkets, where meat (and fish) is
tightly wrapped in plastic

i see, I was thinknig of a fresh fish counter, I wouldnt want fish wrapped
in plastic.

Neither would I! ;-) (Which is why I opt for frozen, when those are my
only options.)

German frankfurters are always pre-cooked.

So are American! (At least, I've yet to encounter any that are not -
"butcher shop" or no.) It has nothing to do with "filler" or lack
thereof - many people buy only kosher "hot dogs", not for religious
reasons, but because they cannot contain fillers and remain "kosher".

You stopped being funny some time ago, in case you didn't know.
