  2. Some apple and raisins would be one way to go, or chicken, bacon and cheese.

  3.  @SteelyDanzig  In some places, the tide can come in as fast as a galloping horse. In places with cliffs, the tide can cut you off.

  9. I agree. I also don't think you're meant to submerge it in water.

  10.  @Ishlacorrin  I'm remembering my mum making suet puddings and xmas pudding in the pressure cooker. She'd cover the pudding with  tinfoil and tie with string, then put it in the pressure cooker with water below the string, put the lid on and cook it maybe 40 mins or so.

  11. Nothing is safe - you can't even ask a simple question on YouTube!

  12. First! (and fourth like) [edit] Not first, but second ... I think

  13. The foolery is that you eyes tell you to expect one thing (flavour), but it's actually something else. Aka a "surprise".

  14. Unless you live on a coral island, there's never a shortage of stones.

  15.  @townsends  I was wondering where all this salt was coming from,too.

  17. You'd have to carry it. Say 2lbs of food a day for 30 days = 60 lbs, versus 1lb of food a day plus whatever meat you gain along the way.

  18. Why no tomatoes?

  19. Preservative.

  20. A little bit of clay wont hurt. In the old stomach remedy "kaolin and morphine", kaolin is clay.

  21. But then they'd have all winter to find stones to set in the back of the fireplace.

  24.  @dimesonhiseyes9134  It's obviously not necessary to be exact. If you used 10% clay, the sand wouldn't hold together. If you used 10% sand, it prolly wouldn't fire, and would remain mud. (Sand melts at a much lower temperature than clay.)

  25.  @gerismakeuplaughs152  I figured that if you didn't know YouTube has thousands of pottery videos, then you must be new.

  26. Speaking as a Brit, yeah, that's a crumpet. Lightly toast it, and top with butter. Yummee. :)

  27. If you use cabbage and fry it,you have the English delicacy called "bubble & squeek".

  28. Cook it - that dries it out,and turns organics (meat bits) to carbon.

  29. Ooooh that'd be handsome.

  31. Speaking as an "arm-chair expert" who's never made a brick in his life ... Smaller bricks will fire better, and if you make holes or frogs in the bricks, you get more bricks with less clay.

  32. Yes, but also to reflect heat into the room.
