Blame a member of HM armed forces for that one methinks.

is there a story behind it?

The army has had a permanent garrison on the island since the Falklands War in 1982. When the resident group relieved by another and return home it is quite likely that the odd piece of Falkland currency returns with them.

...and I think they change over every 4-6 months so that's a lot of people coming home.

You can buy Penguins for peanuts in Sainsburys.

Rather more interesting than a Euro from someone that's visited France! A little bit of history in change.

Don't you mean "peanuts for penguins", Peter? Oh wait, they eat fish

Not if they are chocolate biscuits!

Oh p-p-p-p-p-please!

[Peter 615]

I don't like chocolate....there you go I'M OUT

I do like a good steak washed down with a nice red.A bit of blue cheese and any spirit that does not need a mixer.

The Peter we know and love! Where would Waitrose be without you?

[Peter 615]

If one can't drink a nice glass of port on a Sunday morning after a pair of kippers.Whilst Mrs Peter has popped down to Waitrose to pick up a nice bit of fillet....What is this world coming to?

correct, been there done that. However just yesterday I saw a documentry on the Falkland islands and it is now on a cruise ship route which puts in to Port Stanley so not just down to members of the armd forces anymore.

Depends. Could be a sales pitch. Double port and kippers anyone?

God, how I used to love smoked kippers! Been a struggling vegetarian for 15 years now! Actually, I'm nearly over it...thank heavens I can still drink SOME red wines AND cider (being a west-country boy an' all)!

[Peter 615]

I still love the old stuff like bloaters.

I did a pan full of sprats last year and my daughters,cat and dog loved them.Grilled sardines on a hot Portugal beach WOW.

We now beach find food in North Norfolk...a couple of baked spuds and a flagon of ale :)

Now we're talking! I was a butcher for 15years (nothing to do with my vegetarianism), and my top-favourite on a lunch break was a bag of chitterlings, with lots of pepper and vinegar, and a pint of Thatchers Cider (when it WAS cider [i grew up 2 mins from the original cider farm in Sandford]) in the local Legion Club. This was after hot trotters in the morning (these were all cooked up with the chitterlings and Bath Chaps on the same day)!

I worked at Ness Point in Lowestoft for approx 2 years.Donnie Coles smoke house was 100 yards away and Jones the fish monger was half a mile away.I also worked with a local who put me onto hot whelks.On Friday I brought home a few dover soles.kippers and smoked prawns.

Stuff the supermarkets.Dressed cromer crabs at £1 each were also the finest.

A friend of mine, who was a chef at Sidcot School, was also a dab hand with a homemade smoke house (he was in catering with the army in Germany, and ended up marrying a German girl and living there for quite some time).

Anyway, he managed to convinced me to save up all the pig's brains and make them into a sausage (to his german recipe) called something like braeganvorst, after which he smoked them. I love smoked food, and thought these tasted really good, but I just couldn't get past the gag reflex and eat a whole one! Really strange, because i could eat just about anything else!

V. Anyone for a carrot? caraway seeds and honey, of course!

Lucky b****r. I had to drive to Thatchers. I always used to go and fill the van up on trips home before it became too commercial - 60 or 70 5 litre containers on every run at less than a couple quid each. Much easier to fit in the van than the 144 gallon barrels they had there in the barn. Taste as much as you wanted. Wonderful. It's all gone to pot now they've gone national and exported it outside the local area. The little family business is no more.
