    Afternoon everyone :hello:
    Don't think I've ever had quince G - what do they taste like? :)

    I don't know I have never tasted one:rotfl::rotfl:

    I am led to understand that they are very sharp and tart, and you have to cook them with a lot of sugar at which point they are very nice (so I am told).

    You definitely don't want to eat them raw! The owl and the puddycat must have had no taste buds to eat slices of quince.

    I think they are best made in to jelly (the sort you eat with cheese or meat not ice cream!)

    Thanks for the quince info :):)

    Just seen this. I am very jealous of them.
    Must be quite something to cuddle a lioness :D

    Hello and Welcome

    A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum



    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll?
    A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

    What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
    Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Report” icon, as shown below:

    report.gif

    Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

    PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

    It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis


    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT

    Thanks Tixy, I am planning on making some jelly and some quince paste. Apparently it is very popular in Spain where they eat it with Manchego :)
