I have the Best of British cookbook and I can only see 2 recipes that "sound" a bit like that Hoggit - young sheep or Mutton Saag?HODGE BAGS - might be another name for some kind of chitterling. I have a feeling that my mother cooked chitterlings when we were kids, but I can't remember. The image in my mind is not the same as the one shown in the Hairy Bikers programme, but if that is what they are it could be from a different animal - perhaps a cow. Don't really fancy the idea, considering warnings about e-coli etc.
It’s not the right sort of stone to be zapped apparently so it’ll be under general to have it taken outHope it all goes well. Are the usual treatments not some form of zapping to break the stone up?

There's a few recipes in that book have been cooked more than once. The featherblade in particular (spale bone here).
BG 15.9 - no idea what that's about.
This would be a likely cause!I seem to have developed a bit of a cold
This would be a likely cause!
I like your granddaughter, good choices she made too!told her to get something for the, now empty, "goodies" drawer. She came back with a basket-full which totalled £34.90!
Interesting what you say about meal sizes Riva Roxaban. When I began my turnaround seven weeks ago almost, I changed all my dish and plate sizes. I put away my dinner plates and now use a large side plate, and I swapped my cereal bowls for small fruit salad bowls. Maybe it's a psychological thing but it works!Halloumi cheese of toast (that was Plan A consigned to never bother with it again meal),small tub of chobani greek yoghurt fot breakfast.
Chicken pie without the lid for lunch.
Corned brisket and mashed veggies for dinner.
The last month or so my appetite has changed, I could eat a big breakfastl with no problems, I am getting half way through the same size meal and the hungry feeling just goes and I do not want any more of the meal.
I have been eating tinned soups for lunch for something different to see if I can finish one off ok. There's two soups I like pea and ham, and chunky beef and veggies ( two bits of meat that's chunky ),and a couple of slices of low carb bread makes a meal.
Did the online shopping this morning and noticed the lo carb spuds are back again, so grabbed a couple of bags, a couple chunks of pumpkin. They are good mashed together with a chopped up raw onion mixed together.

@coby Feeling full when eating is a side effect / symptom of colon cancer, according to the palliative doctor I see.Interesting what you say about meal sizes Riva Roxaban.

I get the paper thing, and a Rolo cake sounds amazing!
Been awol for 24 hours, because I’m in hospital. I had been poorly over the weekend and yesterday I was no better so got an emergency GP appt. face to faceAnyway long story short I have a kidney stone, ouch! Have an operation tomorrow to sort it out. At least I don’t have to worry about the non existent choice of low carb breakfast as I’ll be nil by mouth!
Finally home from hospital late yesterday evening and had such a good night’s sleep in my own bed, great not being woken at 6.30am! Long story short I had a kidney stone seen on CT, which was stuck, so so painful (pain on a 0 - 10 scale was 100, never felt anything like it). Went to theatre and they couldn’t find the stone, 2nd CT showed it had hidden back in my kidney! However they’ve inserted a stent so if the stone decides to travel south again it should slip down the stent without getting stuck. I am listed for an urgent op to have the stent removed and the stone if it’s stayed put. The stent isn’t comfy, I can feel it and can’t lift anything heavy til it’s out. I’m still a work in progress but at least my pain score has come down considerably! Hospital food I hear you ask? Less said about that the better!
Thank you everyone for your hugs and get well soons xxx
I can empathise with Em. The eldest grandson is like that. He takes it very much to heart. I must admit though that letting him participate in my brother's funeral on line helped him considerably.A day or so ago, I decided that the space taken up by my electric grill would be more appreciated than the grill, so I took it away to clean and stash away somewhere. I have used it only a very few times in the 4 or so years that I've had it and can do very well without it, especially as it gets covered in splashes from the hob and requires cleaning daily. Somehow, it was very greasy and took a lot of cleaning. I asked Neil if he could find a space for it in the loft. "Yes", he says "I'll just put it on top of the last one you decided you didn't need!" Even now, I can't remember the grill he's talking about. I do remember a commercial one that I gave away about 10 years ago (Buffalo), but not one in between. Anyway - it's going. I have a toaster and a cast iron griddle pan as well as a toastie maker and a waffle maker. These should be sufficient. And the space is very useful.
Em was meant to come in today on her way home from school but she was quite distressed this morning to hear that her beloved 106 year old great granny died in the early hours today. It was not unexpected (at nearly 107, how could it be?) and it has been spoken of in order to prepare Em and her brother. He seems to be OK but she hasn't found it easy to deal with and her Mum and Dad decided not to send her to school. Tomorrow is her 9th birthday - I hope it doesn't blight her birthdays from now on. Actually, when my husband died, it was just a day after her 5th birthday. She took that in her stride but a 9 year old is, emotionally, a very different animal to a 5 year old.
