Exploring the Blutwurst with Dietmar


Hello my name is Dietmar and today we are exploring the Blutwurst otherwise known as the German Blood Sausage - now that is good eating! Without further ado, here is the recipe:

1) You must find fresh pork blood by any means possible. If you do catch a pig, cut its jugular and catch the blood in a bowl/bucket.

2) Add pork fat, cooked rice, marjoram, salt and pepper. I remember my mother taught me this dish when I was a small boy and she would always say “Dietmar mix it well, mix it well Dietmar. We don’t want the blood to coagulate”. She was a wise woman.

3) Once mixed thoroughly, stuff into casings and tie. Then cover in water and boil for 25-30 minutes.

Serve on a bed of sauerkraut with some lean pork and have plenty of strong german mustard.

Guten Appetit!

Whistle in the Well

Image
A bird watching enthusiast was rescued by firefighters yesterday after falling into a disused well. Patrick Woods, 58, from North Talon, in Suffolk, fell into the well whilst searching for Skylarks. He was saved by a rambler after he was heard blowing on his bird whistle. “I was looking for birds, binoculars in hand when all of a sudden the ground collapsed beneath me. Thankfully I had my Skylark Signal Whistle with me - it produces over 122 decibels of sound so I just started blowing. It was strangely reminiscent of Kate Winslet’s character in Titanic where she’s blowing for her life. All I had was hope and that trusty whistle”. "I’m a keen reader of Andy McNab so realised the importance of staying calm and focused. I tried to eliminate any negative thoughts but no-one knew I was bird-watching, so no alarm would be raised. In short I thought I was going to die a horrible death. Fortunately I was heard by my guardian angel - Keith, a humble rambler. My skylark prayers were answer...

Coco Pops Monkey Eulogy

Image
We stand here today to offer our respects to Geoff, a great monkey and a wonderful friend. I remember when I first met him in the early 90’s, when he first got the role as the Coco Pops monkey; he was raw but talented. First day of shooting he turned up to work with a spoon and everyone knew there and then we had a star in the making, what a character. This personality captivated tens of millions of people around the world and he became a star over night. He was even responsible for the catchphrase "Coco Pops and milk make a bowlful of fun". Oh how he loved those chocolate rice crispies. Over the years though it’s fair to say he started to resent his success as he inevitably became typecast as the coco pops monkey. What people don’t know is that he had a wonderful acting range and always talked of walking the hallowed boards of the theatre. As we all know this dream never became a reality, producers simply wouldn’t take that chance, all except Big Brother. He despised that sh...

Exclusive: Halcyon Days Interview

Image
ROCKFLOUR presents an exclusive interview with the long-haired and controversial frontman, James Trevor, from the rock band - Halcyon Days. Interview by John Monty. How did you choose your band name? We debated a number of names John. We tried flicking through a dictionary to find a suitable name, but that wasn't very helpful. First time - we landed on the word 'chandelier' - a lovely word, but goes against the very ethos of our dark satanic music and possibly too obtuse. Second time around, it landed on the word 'generic' and let me tell you my friend, we are anything but generic. So how did the name come about? I'm coming to that John, you're very impatient, almost bordering on impetious. Do mind the manners. I was reading a myth recorded by Ovid that depicts Halcyon days. In a nutshell a wife, grief stricken by her husband's death, jumps off a cliff. Instead of perishing she is carried to her husband by the wind. So we decided on the name Halycon Days...
