Fox Hunting Or Bargain Hunting?

[plowter]

So, what did you do today- fox hunting or bargain hunting?
Tally ho!

[Georgiesmum]

Neither of them.

[excelsior-1]

neither

[Barmaid]

I went "kitchen implement" hunting. 2 weeks ago I had a big clear out and tidy up and re-arrange. now I can't find anything.

**No animals were hurt during my Boxing Day Hunt** (although the cats were pretty pissed off when we had smoked salmon for lunch and they didn't get any)

[AlwaysConfused]

sanity hunting. I definitely left my sanity somewhere around here!?!

[sandyRoe]

Emotional wounds can take longest to heal. Are there not even a few scraps they could have to mollify their hurt feelings?

[tiggerblue10]

I hate both so neither.

[plowter]

Know exactly what you mean barmaid.

Sandy, that's a lovely thought. If you leave out some turkey scraps, Reynard won't have to raid your bins.

Given that the hunting of foxes is illegal in the UK, half of your question is redundant. You should have dropped the "fox".....

[Psybbo]

Doesn't mean it's not happening, DT

[craft1948]

Hunting with dogs is illegal.............blasting one to smithereens is not.

[ichkeria]

Ah yes, the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable or the unbearable in pursuit of the unwearable ...

[DTCwordfan]

No difference between a fox, rabbit or badger, all considered vermin in the farming communities.

[owdhamer]

Paper hunting, neither shop in the village was open.

[jake-the-peg]

Well there is a difference

Rabbits are also considered food

But I don't think that really the point do you DT?

Foxes aren't protected you can shoot, poison and trap them all day long

You just can't chase them across fields and tear them apart with dogs - if getting rid of vermin is the main intent (which it isn't) it shouldn't be a problem

The answer for me is neither by the way. The hunt around here went out last Tuesday - no foxes caught. Better than last time when the plonker of the huntsmaster managed to end up on the A30 with 60 horses, including 8 and 9 year old riders and all the dogs. Two dogs were hit by cars, fortunately nothing serious either way but, IMO, he ought to be well and truly boll-ocked for that as it endangered not only the hunt but people innocently passing by in their vehicles.

[DTCwordfan]

everything is actually edible, it's just fashion that has taken fox and badger of the palate and they are all wearable. The difference on that being the introduction of other (new) materials in the last 60 years making the necessity redundant in our climate.

[owdhamer]

Had he been at the stirrup cup dt.

[gness]

Want me to sort him out DT? Would be my pleasure. :-)

[owdhamer]

Come and sort our paper shops out gness.

[plowter]

DT, can you recommend a British recipe for fox or badger?
Mrs Beaton is sadly lacking in this instance.
