Just started watching Requiem. A bit far-fetched. But the opening scenes are beautiful. Lovely house and garden. Everybody seems to hear voices and commits suicide.

Back in Time for Tea was good, mind you I could never have had skinned and gutted that rabbit.....never.... ever :eek:
My Dad told me how the food brought back many childhood memories to him,, tripe, bread and dripping!!
The only memory it stirred for me......as it was way before my time!!:) was the clips of them enjoying a break in Blackpool...my birthplace.Not that I remember much about it except that the beach was at the end of our road, my parents were Londoners and after a few years they came back down south.

I could. I prefer eating them than hormones infested chickens.

When I was young, I was shown how to kill a chicken. I lived on a farm and parents used to keep pigs, hens and cows and had fields. I really hated it, especially when you cut the throat and the poor thing was still flapping around. I nearly wanted to cry, but it's a way of life and I couldn't be sentimental over it.

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall did a series going back to basics and he killed a chicken by giving it an electric shock. I haven't watched back in time for tea, will tonight.

Well, that's NOT going back to basic if he resorted to electricity or electric shock. Got to go out to see the snow damage. Have a nice day.

I used a knife and slit it's neck and when it flapped and flapped, I nearly wanted to cry.. But if I have home reared chicken, I will do the same. Better than buying hormone infested ones from supermarket!

I would have to go back to being a vegetarian.....even now I can happily go without meat in my meals.

My Mum told us stories of when my Grandfather reared chickens and geese. They flapped around....and on some occasions they ran around headless for a few moments before succumbing to their death :eek::eek: :cry:
Hence the old saying '' running around like a headless chuck '' :(

Ooops! Should I laugh or cry? I think we have to draw a line somewhere. Even lettuces have nerves. We can't say we're not going to eat lettuces because they feel pain when pinched.

Requiem is getting farcical - so much whoooooshing ... now the whooshing has become funny! She's the missing girl and Mr Dean might have something to do with the kidnap and that's why her mum killed herself. A bit perverse! If she loved Matilda, why slitting her throat right in front of her! Some mother!
