martyn789 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 when i was a kid my sister and me used to pick buckets,my mam used to make wine ,jam ,and a very sharp sauce.We had the sauce with home made brawn,pickled pigs feet ,or pressed sheeps head,my dad used to have it with boiled cows udder ,i could never tackle udder ,the smell used to turn me when it was being boiled, in the bucket ,my mam and nan were TT,but they often got pissed on blackberry or elderberry wine, or, tonic, as they used to call it .People dont seem to bother with them nowdays,theres acres of them near me ,this morning i picked a gallon in a few minutes. i love them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
