Recently I walked the Camino Primitivo and for a few days walked with some Lithuanian ladies. Both of them were using walking sticks they had picked up along the way. We were talking about the problems of bringing them back on Aircraft. They were two "Visual Artists" and they had a simple but excellent idea of what they would do with the sticks that had helped them so well on their journey. They planned to cut them up, thus easily putting them in their backpacks and when they got got home would make them into a picture frame for their favourite Camino photograph. I thought this was an excellent idea and with a bit of flair and craft would make a lovely Camino memento.
I now pass this idea on, and thank them for their imagination.
what a great idea (I'm assuming these were wood). They could also be cut into smaller sections to make ornaments, or key rings, jewelry...so many ways to keep a memory close...
Thank you SYates.Cool idea! Thanks for sharing! Buen Camino, SY
... so I threw it into the ocean --still an offerring--...
and I'm still curious whi so many hikers mentioned having parasites--worms--while on the Camino in September.
??? That is the first time I hear about that ???
Still, you have, very elegantly, evaded my question what kind of walking stick you actually throw into the water ...

all the more reason to stick to pulpo...all the prep with that is beating it on a rock, and 'scaring' it with the boiling wateror mercury
Regarding this and for all concerned getting mercury intoxication when eating lots of chocolate on the Camino, have a look at this: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Sodium_hydroxide
Happy chemistry reading, SY

oh come on, about 500 posts and 1500 likes, you're no stranger to this rodeo...when has a thread ever stayed on track?I am amazed and slightly bemused where my innocent thread on the use of walking sticks is going. I think they have found another set of legs and are going in many different directions other than been framed on someones wall. Ah well "Se la Vie"
Tsk tsk....adding yet more garbage to our oceansWalked with a man from Austria who stopped into a local woodworking shop and had them cut staff into 3 pieces and place male and female brass fittings on pieces. He could then screw the staff togeter and had his name engraved on it. He planned to give it to his son and then have his son give it to his granson so each generation would walk a Camino using the same stick.
Mine--carried it to finistere to burn as an Offering to the Sun God--no fires allowed so I threw it into the ocean --still an offerring--Remember what the Iydells Of the King says??? Tennyson is going to right one of these days.
Be careful that they rinse your Pulpo off before you eat it. They add Dihydrogen Monoxide when boiling it.

You won't need the rinse from the pot if the pulpo is rinsed with a 12% solution of this during consumption. Watch for after-effects though; it can lead to delirium and unconsciousness.but how would I avoid Dihydrogen monoxide contamination in the rinse...or are you suggesting I use CH3CH2OH for the rinse?
as well as buyer's remorseit can lead to delirium and unconsciousness.

Perhaps a loading dose, taken prior to cooking and serving, would also be in orderYes, but you have to do it right! Never rinse the Pulpo directly with CH3CH2OH, instead take a healthy dose of it after every 2-3 pieces of Pulpo. As @Rick of Rick and Peg has stated a 12% solution of it is a good guideline, side effects might increase if the solution is too strong are the recommended dose exceeded.
Also beware of CH3CH2OH offers that are >40% strength, take only very small dose of that one and preferably after the meal.
Buen Camino, SY

that is on a clay plaque hanging in my pantryI have a fridge magnet with exactly that prescription - I love cooking with 12% CH3CH2OH solution, sometimes I even put it in the food ;-) SY
