Motobins BMW list again

Why does this not surprise me?

Oooh yes, forgot that.

I thought they were easy enough to find in the UK these days.

Given the choice, would you rather get the genuine article from a
charcutier or whatever some supermarket is pleased to call rillettes
(c.f. biltong). Of course, home-made trumps all comers.

 

This is BMW owners' version of reality we're talking about here.

 

You're right, of course, although I'm usually quite happy with the
branded stuff in Supermarkets over here.

Never tried it, although I know it's supposed to be dead easy. Got a
recipe?

mmm, horse meat Bresaola. Brought some back vacuum packed last time I
was in Rome

Good job customs didn't find it. I suppose it'd be classed as raw
meat :0

P.

 

not sure to be honest, a colleague asked me to bring some bacon for them to
Finland but I was advised it would be against regulations.

I brought five pounds of assorted frozen horse meat back from Sardinia
in my suitcase a couple of years ago. Customs didn't bat an eyelid.

Vacuum schmaccum.

 

Everybody else says do it in the oven but Anthony Bourdain's recipe
is: half pork belly, half pork shoulder, cut into 2cm chunks. Cover
with water and cook with a bouquet garni at the lowest heat the stove
gives you for six (yes, six) hours. When it's done, scoop it out of
the water (make sure you include the fat that's rendered out) and
shred it with two forks, adding salt (you'll probably need more than
you think). Pack it into suitable containers, cover with a slice of
pork fat to seal it and keep it in the fridge. Give it a few days for
the flavour to develop. Eat at room temperature.

I've tried replacing the shoulder with rabbit and that works too. I'll
try goose when I have a small enough amount available.

I didn't see the brake levers falling off the BMWs that went to
Germany in January.

The only 'tools' I took were gaffer tape and cable ties to repair
crash damage and a European recovery card for anything serious.

 

Yebbut, "engine oil is very expensive in European BMW dealers" would be
true, no?
Surprising how many riders won't put fluid that doesn't have a bike
maker's approval written on it in their precious bodily steeds.

Well, they can get stuffed.

You took several tools with you, none of whom are on the list above.

 

Jeeeeesus! Italy on a ZXR400! Must have been crippled on arrival. I did
London to Edinburgh once I couldn't walk for a week on my return. They're
entertaining as hell but for that far I think something bigger may be in
order.

 

You'll burn in hell for that comment, when he catches up with you.

 

What, bigger than a dumpy bird?

Ah yes, that would make more sense.

The stuff I brought back was Elf & Total branded (no surprises
there !), but Carrefour also did their own brand that was ACEA rated
and 'Moto 4T'

P.

 

Did you save me any of that for when I could eat again?

<drools expectantly>

I love being cooked for.

 

He said Italy - it was fine on its last run, nothing happened to it -
well it lay on its side in a camp site cracking the indicator glass
but that's because I sat on it backwards and wriggled then it fell
over.

Pah, gaffer tape and cable ties - over preparation.
