Man Found Dead Mouse In Malt Loaf

A supermarket in Northern Ireland has been fined £1,000 for selling a loaf of bread containing a whole mouse.

North Antrim Magistrates Court heard how a man purchased a Hyndman's malt loaf from a supermarket in the Ballymoney area before Christmas 2007.

When he unwrapped the loaf he discovered the small lifeless mammal embedded in the base of the bread.

A defence lawyer told the court that the presence of the mouse was a shock to the company. He suggested it might have been put in the tin to "sabotage" the baker who has been in business for 60 years and has never had any complaints. Link

Roasted Baby Squid and Rolled Cuttlefish

Today I had the pleasure of trying some weird food from Hong Kong. My brother had just returned and these two delights are the first of many weird foods that I have to try.

The packet on the left contains Dried Roasted Baby Squid that's been seasoned with chilli. There's only one word for how the contents tasted - disgusting! It tasted like the sea!

The second packet contained 'Seasoned Roller Cuttlefish'. I presumed they meant rolled and like the baby squid this had been dried and seasoned with chilli. You could taste more chilli on this than on the squid and didn't taste as 'fishy'. You still wouldn't eat it though.

I have no idea how anybody could work in a factory that produces these culinary delights as the smell that they emit is so disgusting. They are currently residing in the shed until I find somebody else who's brave enough to try them.

Next to try - Octopus crisps, duck tongue, chicken feet and squid and cheese.

British Pubs: Oldest, Smallest, Biggest, Highest...

Records for pubs is quite a difficult subject to research as there are so many different pubs and determining what is a pub can itself be difficult. Is a beer festival a pub? If so, the largest pub would probably be the Great British Beer Festival. Also, a beer festival is likely to hold the title of longest bar.

Determining the oldest pub is also a very difficult process and one that will probably be never proven.

That aside, here are some pubs that can be classed as 'one of' the oldest, biggest, smallest, etc.

Oldest Pub

meheal badem

The title for oldest pub is a hotly contended title and one that is quite difficult to prove. Guinness World Records lists the Ye Olde Fighting Cocks which is a 11th Century structure built on an 8th Century site.

meheal badem

Many old pubs in Britain have been rebuilt once or twice and the Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is no exception. The pub was rebuilt in 1485 but according to Guinness World Records the pub was not moved to another location. The Man and Scythe disputes this and such claims it is the oldest pub dating to 1251. But, that pub was rebuilt in 1636.

Another contender is The Ferry Boat in St Ives, Cambridgeshire claims to date from 560AD but has only been proved as far back as 1100. I could go but instead you can visit this site which has more info on old pubs.

Incidentally, the oldest pub in Wales is the Skirrid Inn located in Abergavenny which can be traced back to 1110. As well as being a pub, it was also used as a courthouse where people were hanged inside the pub. Unlike the other pubs I've mentioned, the Skirrid Inn has stood for nine centuries.
