Glad I'm on my own in the office today

I've been a tad fruity this afternoon, although I'm fairly certain the lunchtime gbk avocado and bacon burger could be accurately identified as the root cause.

Jerusalem artichokes are the root cause of my most corpulent flatulence.

When I'm feeling vindictive I make myself some artichoke and carrot soup. Tastes divine. The fall out stuns kids and kills small mammals.

Jerusalem artichokes arrived in the vegi box this morning. Heaven help us.

My Brothers party trick was to fart loudly whilst sitting in the lounge,Our dog who was usually asleep in front of the fire,used to look up and walk out of the room.

Farts are like success, only your own smell sweet.

That's a fundamental truth.

At least they are your own farts Mockle, I am unfortunate enough to sit behind a vegetarian real ale fanatic...must be something about the yeast

remind them that most real ale is not vegetarian... that should either cut out the beer or the vegetarianism.

As a student I lived on beans but now I can hardly bear to eat them, about an hour afterwards I get gut-wrenching pains and horrific farting. Still haven't managed to light any though.

Sadly for me, it's beer. Couple of pints and I'm off: massive & frequent gas build-up and the stench is unbelievable when I let it out (every 5 minutes, and they're long and very, VERY loud).

Never had that problem as a kid.

It was hell when dating a few years ago - pub, pints and then bed with the lady. I thought I was going to rupture something having to hold the farts in until she'd fallen asleep! The trouble was, I keep letting rip in my sleep - they got so loud I woke her up...

Next girl I went out with could fart for Scotland so there was a shared talent that we enjoyed.

Working in a garage sometimes it sounds (and smells) like the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles ! Classic !!!!!

I always reckon vegetables for volume and meat for strength.

Anyone have a recipe for these Jerusalem artichokes?

Anyone have a recipe for these Jerusalem artichokes?

Hang on in there. I'm about to dig out a recipe having bought some on my way home. Recipe to follow.

 

[mickle]

Thanks, I'm starting to run out of puff.

I've used this recipe in the past. It's one of Delia's. I'll be using it tonight.

Very yummy.

I'd not woory too much about having stock to hand. The soup tastes fine with suitable seasoning.

 

[vernon]

I can now confirm (again) the greatness of Delia, blessed be her name.

The soup is wonderful. I've had an ample sample. Now waiting for the consequences

Nice I have to admit when I am smelling a bit I give my wife a cuppa-fart. This is when I cup my hand and fart into it and then quickly put my cupped hand over her nose. I am all style
