Cave men very rarely ate meat...they couldnt catch it!

Thats why they we have appendix...to digest grasses and thats why we dont need them any longer :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Bet if you had to catch it and kill it yourself you'd eat more veg!

"I thought everyone had heard about corned beef in a can! Didn't they use it on expeditions long, long ago? Jonesey would know I think."

I resemble that remark! ;-)

As it happens I quite like corned beef and like Dea, I enjoy it in a sandwich with pickled red cabbage. The taste probably stems from the post war rationing period when you ate what was available rather than what you wanted. Remember that meat did not come off rationing until 1954. Not that my family went particularly short of anything as my grandmother kept a corner grocery shop so we tended to get first dibs on what was available.

Probably more important to the then still young Jonesey was the fact that sweet rationing did not end until 1953. On the subject of sweets have you noticed how they have rocketed in price recently. I was nosing round my local newsagents yesterday and spotted that a standard size Mars Bar now costs 55p (11 shillings in good old Christian money). If I remember correctly when I first became addicted to them they cost about 6d (Two and a half new fangled pence) each and they were a bigger bar to boot.

Oops my age is showing again. :-D

Jonesey! You are just like my OH.....forever comparing new prices with old prices and look very scandalised whilst he does it! :-D



'course cavement ate meat Gins......probably raw at times and certainly most of it.....tongue included. What do you think they used their spears for, killing wild grasses??? Those near the sea would have hunted for fish.


If I had to kill to eat....then I probably would do so - especially for my family's sake.


Anyway.......if you're so healthy minded, how come you smoke and drink and have more 'poorly' days than me........even at my advanced age!!! :-P


Going out for lunch now.......braised steak here I come....... :-D :-D

Creaking gate Cyns.......which would you rather be!

And my sick days are mainly made of womens problems thank you.

And....you try teaching about 80 diffo people a week, sat in a confined classroom.....with windows that only open on auto because they are echo friendly.....trouble is, they open when they feel like it...when it freezing normally!

Pitty we all cant sit at home ironing :-P

I have looked after creaking gates for the last 35 years so I guess I will probably drop on the spot! That tends to be what happens to carers.

I seem to remember reading somewhere several years ago that a can of corned beef had been found in a "stash" set upon the ice shelf in Antartica fo an expedition about 1910 or so.


I also think I remember someone saying it shoudl be edible ................. but don't know if anyone actually tried it!

Actually, Gins


we is omnivores ...... which means we eat anything.


The appendix is a useless appendage, leftover from our ancestors .......... the ape-like ancestors that is ................. who did need it, but it has always been useless in humanoids.


The men used to go out and kill animals ............ one mastodon would feed the tribe for days ............ but people used to gorge themselves to build up sotrs for when no meat was available.

Meanwhile the women and children were gatherers, and would collect fruits, berries, and dig roots


I have never read anywhere that humanoids ate grass "raw", except when in absolutely dire straits.
