LIVER AND BACON WITH OR WITHOUT ONIONS - THE AMBROSIA OF THE GODS

Brings back memories to one we had at home as a boy but the only similarity is the way it works, as ours as I recall was tarnished -perhaps tainted is a better word - with a lifetime of use that I think possibly dates back to one or other of my grandparents, and simply passed on to my parents. I am pretty sure it never got passed down a generation likely because they were 'ten a penny' - OK perhaps 6d at Woolworths. (Which these days is not far short of parity with costing £1.94 and likely can be found in Charity Shop for 20p)

 

I have two which must be over 50 years old inherited from my parents.

 

This FB can opening video shows a cheap tin opener that seems to work Here Good luck everyone

 

Looking at the videos, there are two way of removing the lid of the can. With the opener held upright to remove the lid inside the rim, or horizontally to cut through the side and remove the rim as part of the lid. Just use an appropriate opener which can pierce the metal to the required depth. I make no guarantee as to what will work but the Judge model that I offered seemed similar to the type which we used successfully over 60 years ago. At that time I had not seen any openers which used a round cutting wheel.

 

The YouTube videos posted by AtHomeinNZ are not the same as the one I posted, one shows a couple showing their son how to open said pie and the other one is a man in a pink top, the video I posted shows a man with a beard, spectacles and a beanie (hat) and a different can opener.

 

And something else not about can openers, but does relate to the Heading reference. I found it quite hilarious, and told to me by my wife who couldn't stop laughing after watching an afternoon Quiz show.

Quizmaster: Homer referred to the Drink of the gods being Nectar, what was the word he used for Food of the gods?

Contestant #1 I think I will pass on that (leaving it to the other Contestant to answer)
Contestant #2: (after thinking about it answered) "Doughnuts".

Quizmaster: (barely able to contain himself and turning to the first contestant). Would you agree with this? (an academic remark because whether she agreed or not she had passed on answering)

Contestant #1: Yes I would probably have said the same.

Quizmaster: The answer is Ambrosia and I think you both had the wrong Homer in mind.

Couldn't stop chuckling and knew I had to share with the Forum.

 

Spoilsport, I don't think my posting called for a Google troll to locate the clip, it was self sufficient as told. But I suppose second hand telling is not quite the same as the original, so you are excused.

 

Not "Donuts"?

 

No not that because that is the American spelling of doughnuts.
