Popcorn Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 There has been a program on the TV tonight about The Potato. Historians, chefs, scientists and other experts have been discussing the social and economic significance of potatoes. Next week is the turn of the CHICKEN! Ever Wondered About Food? Monday 7.30pm BBC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy duck Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Gina I saw about 10 minuites of that. The way they were slicing ,dicing and showing you how to cook it in diferent ways. So I shall make sure I keep my chickens away from the tele next monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Yes Daisy - I imagine it will be about chicken as a food rather than a friend... ....(although I guess if you really wanted to, you could keep a Potato as a pet ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm sure I saw an episode of Ever Wondered at the beginning of this year where they featured an eglu - I can't remember if it was a bout the chicken or the egg - I think it was the chicken. If it's a repeat (and I'm remembering correctly) then its worth watching for the eglu air time. (I've probably remembered wrong ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It was about eggs, and if that is the one on next week very well worth watching - star spot for the eglu and some great egg recipes. Plus interesting facts about eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 according to the tv listings in our paper it was meant to be about eggs last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It was changed at the last minute Mel There I was poised to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ohh, I'm glad I wasnt the only one - totally confused (as normal). So we watched the first part of Messiah IV which we had taped. Kind of whished we hadnt now - just a little to gory for words (then we watched Disaster Masters all about drains (an interest of mine - dont ask.....) which was even more revolting!! Bring back the good life I say!! By the way has anyone been watching that "Real Good Life" on Sunday afternoons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Nah gave it up as a bad deal after the first couple usual stuff people who are totally wrong just for 'entertainment' I'd rather watch paint dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ditto Louise - we were outside with the chooks as the weather was just so lovely...ours TV guide was mixed up too, so fingers crossed it will be on next week.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The couple without children are really getting into it and are now selling their house to move to Devon run a small holding and, hopefully start a family. The ones with 4/5 kids are probably going back to work as normal as they cannot afford to be self sufficient with that many kids who want mobile phones / trainers / live like their mates. The couple from goring on thames just anoy the wotsit out of me - always complaining about no money / too much like hard work etc. - dont know why they went on it really - although I appreciate that the tv company have probably edited the heck out of it all, The worst thing on sunday was the goring couple's chooks all got taken by a fox - but it does seem she didnt secure the gate properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Did anyone see the program on Monday? I forgot to post about it to remind you. It was quite interesting. More about cooking chickens than keeping them in an Eglu though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 No, we set it to record through our sky and it failed for "unknown reason" mind you, Paul reckons that sky knows we keep chooks and that their sensibilities might be affronted knowing we were watching about cooking chickens and therefore failed to record it to keep us all happy. He reckons sky is really a big brother monitoring us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 There's proabably some truth in that statement Mel. Darren thinks exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I was just going to post in the 'ranting' topic about Sky - will do so later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison M Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 hi Gina, I watched it but was a bit disappointed because the Eglu wasn't featured. Whenever anybody posts a thread about a certain date I now put it on my calendar, makes me look busier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
