I can't stand beets like that, but whatever the hell they do when they slice them and can them.....they are wonderful to eat...just on toast is delight!

I thought somebody said before that your beetroot is like our pickled beets, but this says sweet. I don't like pickled beets but I'd try it anyway, if this is not pickled I think I'd like it way better. One more question, do you put your slice of pineapple on it before you take it off the grill so it soaks in?

Notice that the barrier has nice big holes to allow those that have to learn the hard way the ability to do so. ;)

The stinging tree, also known as the gympie-gympie, is a plant found in Queensland, Australia that is known for its extremely painful sting. 

Species:

Dendrocnide moroides

Also known as the gympie-gympie, this species is found in the rainforest areas of Australia. It is considered to have the most painful sting in the world. 

Dendrocnide excelsa

Also known as the giant stinging tree, this species is common in Queensland rainforests. It can grow up to 35 meters high. 

Characteristics: 

The leaves are large, pale green, and hairy.

The leaves have silica-tipped, hollow hairs that give them a soft, velvety appearance.

The fruit is small, nut-like, and borne on fleshy stalks.

The sap is clear.

Pain:

The sting can cause debilitating pain and possible hospitalization. 

The acid-burn sensation can linger for several months. 

A casual split-second touch on an arm by a leaf or stem is enough to induce pain for hours or days. 

Danger: 

In rare cases, the sting can lead to death in dogs, horses, and humans.

 my preference is to halve them, spread them with REAL butter and a smear of Vegemite.

 

  .... the thickness of the "spread" and the "smear" is personal choice.  🙃

Bruce and Steve , 2 Australians ,flew to England for a working holiday after applying for a few jobs and missing out they saw a job advertisement for a butler and chauffeur for an elderly titled lady. “This is us “ Bruce says to Steve.”

 

But we have no idea about those jobs” says Steve. “ leave it to me mate, replies Bruce, “ I’ll do all the talking “

So they go along to the interview and it all is going along brilliantly, as the interview is coming to an end ,The titled lady says “ well you young men seem to be perfect for the job all I need to see now is your testimonials.

 

As they are walking back down the driveway afterwards, Steve says to Bruce “ If you knew the difference between testimonials and testicles I think we might have got those jobs “

Back when I was young man in the late '70s, a summer movie came out called "Tentacles." Whoever put up the sign on the theater (theatre?) marquee misspelled it,

And that's imperial miles to the gallon, convert that to you guys weird  U.S MPG :) and it would be a fair bit more.

Actually, a mile is a mile is a mile. Imperial mile, US mile, statute mile. 5,280 ft, 1760 yd, or  1,609.344 meters.

 

The problem is your gallon. There are five US quarts in an imperial gallon. So if you get 40 miles to an imperial gallon that would be 8 miles to a US quart, or 32 miles to a US gallon.

 

32 is a fair bit less than 40. Not a fair bit more.

 

Unless you all do maths upside down down there also.
