General - Scratching About in Walsall
Walsall, that place in the west midlands famous for Pork Scratchings and um, anyone else know what it’s famous for apart from the football club?
Well the town is actually pretty cool and quite friendly from what I gathered. The dem went splendidly and once again our clients gave me some grub which was really generous and much appreciated. Like groundhog day, I was wet through on the GPS walk so we’ve definitely had a patern formed this week.
Yet another train, this one on it’s chugging perambulation to Ipswich. So ends a week of intense travel Wonder how many miles I’ve covered? I’m looking forward to a rest now.
Just a bit of advice from a reasonably uninteresting webpage if you plan on going to Walsall. ‘Perhaps less well known is the fact that for a packet
of pork scratchings to be authentic, it must have come from an industrial estate
somewhere within the boundaries of Walsall. Likewise, no visit to Walsall is complete
without a trip to the
pub and a packet of scratchings to accompany your pint (bitter, not lager).
NB: If you are a pork-product beginner, or you are otherwise unsuited to eating
pork scratchings (for example small children, the elderly or infirm, girls and southerners) you might want to consider pork crunch. While these puffed up salty snacks are anathema to the true scratching aficionado, they may suffice for you. If you fall into more than one of these categories (for example if you are an elderly southerner) you might want to avoid pork products all together and stick to dry roasted nuts.’
