Speechless!

Not often I can say that about myself but........... went to pick up grandchildren from a Hallowe'en party. Asked if they had been "dookin' fur aiples" as we say in this neck of the woods. No said the guide leader, we're not allowed to do that for H & S reasons. There could be water borne germs getting passed around. Pass me the cotton wool!

If you do it right, butter, pepper and scratch of nutmeg it okay better still make clapshot ie mash it up with carrots, it's quite tasty

[magicmick]

Clapshot!? the mind boggles, i will stick with my tripe and black puddings.:)

[marval]

It is H & S gone mad. The children should have fun like that at a party.

Nae clapshot? Rumbledethumps it is then!

How awful. I love Hallowe'en and stick ghosts on the window and skeletons on the door. The children dressing up in their costumes are delightful - what miserable so-and-sos to spoil it.

Douglas9401 that dish sounds like something BilboBaggins would have raten in The Hobbit.

[magicmick]

eaten, sorry

OMG, I LOVED dookin' when I was a wee girl. Also, treacle dipped pancake things strung up and our hands behind our backs and trying to eat them. What a mess! Gaun guisin and having to sing or dance or recite poetry to get a halfpenny, a penny was the big league. One neighbour used to give us Blue Riband biscuits. To this day, I hate them !! There was none of this "trick or treat or we'll turn your car into a Ford Omelette"
