                  There legs on one side are longer than the other side to help them when climbing round the mountain's, they can only go clockwise, if they try and go anticlockwise they fall over.

                        :heehee:

                        The first meal I made for Mr "M" using Chorizo was a couple of years back - Mr "M" is a traditional "meat and two veg" man, but I've been slowly extending his food range over the years - he asked what is chorizo? What's *in* it? So, I told him it was goat ... from a remote Spanish village where it lived on a diet of grass and the paprika plant, hence the redness of the meat and its spicy taste :whistle: Tickled my funny bone ... :whistle:


                        ... until he went to work and boasted about the delicious "goat" he had eaten the night before from the remote Spanish village of ... Chorizo :oops: :heehee: :loll:

                        Oh well :pathd:

                          @"M" For years I thought Chorizo was one of those sparkling wines like Proseco and the like until I found out different on a food programme the other week:biggrin:

                          I do so love the telly,so educational :biggrin:

                            Wow those are fantastic pics Kandy! :thumbsup:
                            how can anyone not love grey squirrels! :wub2:They're just so stinkin' cute! I find it bizarre that people hate them, i realise its not good for the reds or the ecosystem that they're here ect....but they dont know about any of that!!:rolleyespink: they're just living their little lives oblivious to whether theyre seen as a "pest" or not...so why hate them? Its not their fault they're here after all :dunno: people are strange :scratch:

                            but hey, perhaps im wrong...he could be plotting world dominion as we speak! :heehee:
