Aha. Very funny. We talked about haggis on here, I'll try anything at least once. I eat and love our sCRAPple and I love it. All the nasty bits left over after they slaughter a butcher a pig. I've eaten ":rocky mountain oysters" when I skied in Colorado,  would you eat a few of those?

Hi Ash,now that I have researched Scrapple and "rocky mountain oysters" I would definitely eat scrapple but not the"oysters".

Personally I would  find that as a male very painful😀

It's a load of bollocks anyway😀😀

Have you checked out the recipe for black pudding yet?

1 Byte = 8 Bits

1MB (Megabyte) = 1024 Bytes

1GB (Gigabyte) = 1024 MB

1TB (Terabyte) = 1024 GB

1PB (Petabyte) = 1024 TB

1EB (Exabyte) = 1024 PB

1ZB (Zettabyte) = 1024 EB

1YB (Yottabyte) = 1024 ZB

That's what I learned, as well...except they didn't have the larger sizes,
back then. I pulled this off of Seagate's site, the hard drive manufacturer.

Motivation for proposed prefixes for binary multiples
In the past, computer professionals noticed that 1024 or 2^10 (binary) was very nearly equal to 1000 or 10^3 (decimal) and started using the prefix "kilo" to mean 1024. That worked well enough for a decade or two because everybody who talked KB knew that the term implied 1024 bytes. However, almost overnight a much more numerous "everybody" bought computers, and the trade computer professionals needed to talk to physicists and engineers and even to ordinary people, most of whom know that a kilometer is 1000 meters and a kilogram is 1000 grams.

Two different measurement systems 

Name	Abbreviation	Binary Power	Binary Value (in Decimal)	Decimal Power	Decimal (Equivalent)
kilobyte	KB	2^10	1,024	10^3	1,000
megabyte	MB	2^20	1,048,576	10^6	1,000,000
gigabyte	GB	2^30	1,073,741,824	10^9	1,000,000,000
terabyte	TB	2^40	1,099,511,627,776	10^12	1,000,000,000,000

Often when two or more people begin discussing storage capacity, some will refer to binary values and others will refer to decimal values without making distinction between the two. This has caused much confusion in the past. In an effort to dispatch this confusion, all major disk drive manufacturers use decimal values when discussing storage capacity.

Here is some really useless info for you.

1 Byte = 8 Bits

1MB (Megabyte) = 1024 Bytes

1GB (Gigabyte) = 1024 MB

1TB (Terabyte) = 1024 GB

1PB (Petabyte) = 1024 TB

1EB (Exabyte) = 1024 PB

1ZB (Zettabyte) = 1024 EB

1YB (Yottabyte) = 1024 ZB

Where's kilobytes?If you're going to ply us with useless information at least complete the job.😀

Cannot get the staff these days😀😀

By "posh", do you mean:

1: elegant, fashionable; a posh restaurant

2: British : typical of or intended for the upper classes : highfalutin

Or, is it the name of a Scots dialect?

I might have guessed heid the ba' would "like" your post😀

Anyway Gon is a derivative(is that the right word)for go on so I don't know where they get Goan from

The website you are using is probably written by some clown from Devon or Somerset who hasn't got a clue about our dialect or accent.

Ooh are,ooh are,cider apples is about their dead strength 😀😀

Wait for it guys,wait for it!!!!!😀😀😀

I thought I got "goan" from you. I knew what it meant, I just thought I
had seen you write it differently before. I must be mistaken. 😊

I did, where does one get fresh pig blood? I would try it. Looks like you fry it to crisp it up, same thing we do with scrapple. Yours doesn't have pig snouts, offal,liver, spleen tails and I don't doubt the some pig dicks occasionally get thrown in the pot for its tastiness. 😋
