Grim,

If I was eating oatmeal every day I would be a homicidal maniac too.

If eating oatmeal everyday had such an insalubrious effect I'd be a homicidal maniac, as would most of Scotland. As it is, i haven't killed anything but time in ages Not the oatmeal, that's for sure.

Yes, but, Ken, consider this: how do you think Jack the Ripper stirred his tea? Clockwise? Or widdershins? Cos if it was widdershins...

Regards,

Why is there no monument to porridge in our land?
If it's good enough to eat, it's good enough to stand!
On a plinth in Glasgow, a statue we should see
Of porridge made in Scotland, signed "Oatmeal, O.B.E".

Dear Don,

Most of Scotland are homicidal maniacs. I have seen Mel Gibsons braveheart, so I know what I am talking about.

The only thing that anyone could ever be sure about what Jack digested, is not what he ate, but what he drank........Something that contained water in it. Now, all this is getting very silly.

[Graham]

I don't know if this has been said before on this thread, because I can't be bothered to look, but Samuel Johnson observed that 'oats - a grain which in England is given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people'.

Has anything changed since the good Doctor's day?

Cheers,

Graham

Hello all,

I wonder if Anderson was wrong and the killer ate pork occasionally.

Best regards all.

[DVV]

You're right, Mike,
he ate pork.
But exclusively from Isenchmid's.
As soon as Isenchmid's bizness failed, he became angry and contemplate murder.
That was the trigger.
A hungry man is an angry man, for sure.

Amitiés,
David

They sais Kosmiinski dined from the gutter.

[celee]

Does anyone know what Jack the Ripper ate?

I wonder if his diet somehow influenced his behavior?

Ah yes, the old twinkie defence. I suspect the Ripper murders were brought on from an extream sugar rush.

Your friend, Brad

Well, Kosminski is the number one Jewish suspect, and whatever he ate from the gutter was obviously not kosher, so I wouldn't be surprised if even he ate pork. So pork was probably the primary meat in the diet of the ripper, unless he was rich enough to afford better.

Perhaps he ate fish and chips.


Even luckier if they were wrapped in newspaper........which brings me nicely to a favourite grumble of mine!.....they just don't taste the same unless they're wrapped in newspaper. and without some stupid wooden fork plonked into them.


Just a thought...if they were wrapped in newspaper,he could have read about his exploits while he ate his supper!
