Why would bees be buzzing around a dead lion?Apparently they are bees and the image an adaptation from a biblical story.
It is the story of Samson slaying the lion...a few days later bees nested. Abram Lyle (a deeply religious man) used it as his logo.Why would bees be buzzing around a dead lion?
Obviously, the same cannot he said of my father, nor me, I guess. But thanks for the enlightenment.It is the story of Samson slaying the lion...a few days later bees nested. Abram Lyle (a deeply religious man) used it as his logo.
Actually, on Camino, I settle for Chorizo. A slightly different taste, but lasts just as long.I was jesting.I assumed you purchased the little pre-sliced packages of pepperoni type lunchmeat sold all along the Camino. I always used them with cheese and olives on my bocadillas.
Look what just entered my newsfeedHi, when I walked the C2C across England I could buy snack bars made of oats. Not sure of the correct name for them. I can’t buy them in my country, nor on the camino in Spain. They were really yummy and filling. I’d like to try and make my own, but I need help with a tried and tested recipe. Any recommendations? I could google it, but it might be a bit hit and miss. Thanks for any help! Jill
Flapjacks are on the rise...even though they should be called flatjacks since they require no leavening agent.Look what just entered my newsfeed
The new shop selling sweet treats that everyone needs to try
The store will support the communitywww.somersetlive.co.uk
And without a leavening agent they really aren't on the "rise."Flapjacks are on the rise...even though they should be called flatjacks since they require no leavening agent.

I wonder if those are just in Canadian Starbucks. I haven't seen them here in the Oregon Starbucks.Oh! I think that the “oat bars” sold in Starbucks are these kinds of “flapjacks” — very dense, very oat-y, and held together with a sort of sweet goo that you can only see when you pull it apart. I haven’t had one in a few years now... But those who enjoy the treats in England might find that, at least in the N. Am. S-bux, the oat bar amounts to the same thing.

Earlier in this thread both Bristle boy and myself posted recipes for English/British flapjackOh!

I have no idea if they are sold overseas — not that I’ve seen a lot of Starbucks in Europe (thankfully).
But worth a try... and maybe there is a recipe on the web for them. I find them too sweet in general, but they are good at carrying one for a while, preventing that coffee from just running through...
Yes, and I posted a photo of my flapjacks I made using Bristle boy's recipe. They were delicious!Earlier in this thread both Bristle boy and myself posted recipes for English/British flapjack
So sorry, Faye, I have offended...apologies in order.I was aiming to be helpful And do not see how my post could be construed as anything other than that.

I am sorry you saw the replies as criticism of your oat bar they were not meant to be. I just wanted to inform yourself and others of the original recipesIn general, I don’t go to Starbucks either, but I was sad when the one near my son closed due to COV. The staff there treated him kindly, and when I would ask for a “decaf” for him they never marked it as such. He is autistic. Finding people who are kind to him in banal settings is difficult. The oat bar used to be my choice for long hikes because — like I said: small but does a good job of slowing down the coffee, and provided energy.
And so I posted another recipe? So? People are free to try it or not, but surely there are many Canadians on the forum who would not know what this oat thing might be and I found something I think, on reading the thread, is similar.

Maybe follow-ups were not intended as such, but they read like unnecessary, cranky criticisms.... of an oat bar recipe.
I also had these snacks when I walked the Cleveland Way in 2019. The are called flapjacks. Great hiking snack. Nothing like them in US.Hi, when I walked the C2C across England I could buy snack bars made of oats. Not sure of the correct name for them.

Lots of 2-4 ingredient ways to make oat cake type bars on utube... you blend oats in blender and make flour.. or you don't have to make flour.. you can even make them in the hostels if they have a kitchen...most times you do not need an oven....Hi, when I walked the C2C across England I could buy snack bars made of oats.

These should come with a health warning. They are overly sweet with refined sugar... more like an adult candy bar.Hi, assuming that you are in South Africa you should be able to get Nature Valley Crunchy bars. They are very popular and widely available in the UK. They come in a variety of mixes. Try this link. https://www.zupermar.com/ZA/Johannesburg/421583917959121/Nature-Valley
