Following the spam posted in another thread very recently (now deleted) it got me remembering to my school days and those Spam fritters you used to get.

Last year I saw some advertised and got them to try and they just were not the same as the ones I could remember.

Is it just a matter of getting older and memory issues or do they just not make them the way they used to and is it just a case of having to make your own now? (Maybe the Spam itself has changed over the years)

Yeah, OK I am starting to wind down here at work, hope you all have a Merry Christmas and that next year is better than this one has been. Keep on doing all the good work on here and the good advice.

Ohhhh when i was a student nurse (seems like soooo long ago now!!) the hospital canteen i was doing my first year placements at used to do spam fritters on toast for brekkie....no better way to start the day than a spam fritter and strong coffee with 3 sugars!!!

You certainly dont seem them these days in our NHS canteens, its all pasta, fruit and salad....booo! ;-)

The only problem with haggis is catching the little b*****s!!!

But everyone up here in scotland knows that their inside legs are shorter than their outside ones(its so they can stand and graze on hillsides easier),so all you have to do is get it to turn the wrong way and it will roll down the hill into your haggis net!!!
