After seeing and reading Terry’s link I decided to make my own foraging mix for the Hobbit, so off we went to Waitrose.

Ingredients

A few assorted nuts
1tbl mixed seed
1tbl Linseed
Cinnamon sticks
Dried Pasta
Dried fruit
Homemade veg crisps
Homemade banana chips
Pine kernels
Fresh herbs
Puffed rice
Homemade Popcorn
Puffed rice crackers (broken it to quarters)
Mixed it all together and this is the result

The Hobbits are now enjoying it, they are having a bit of everything.... Success

Looks fab!

I tried Tilly with Brocolli today, cut into wee bitties and she took each bit and threw it to the bottom of her cage!

Julie, how do you do the banana chips??? Do you bake them in the oven?. I tried to do some carrot chips for my two but they shriveled up and went black

:rofl:At that point I gave up

Did it cost a lot to make up that treat for your birds??? It looks expensive

Cheers Julie

Banana Chips

Ingredients

2 Whole Bananas
1 Egg
1/4 cup Honey
Oats or Linseed
1 tsp. Vegetable Oil

Method

Preheat your oven to 140 degrees. Grease a large cookie sheet with 1 tsp. of vegetable oil and set aside.
Peel both bananas and slice them into discs. In a bowl, combine the egg and honey.
Dip banana discs into the mixture and place on the cookie sheet. Once you have all the discs in place, top them with oats or Linseed. Bake in oven until they are dry and crispy (ish), and then let cool to room temperature.

And the foraging mix cost about £30, but I've got enough things left to make another few or use in other birdie foods, so not too bad a spend.

I'm gonna start calling you Fanny, Mrs P!

Well all I can say is I hope all her doughnuts turn out like Fanny's.

No answer to that!

This humour is lost on her mate , she doesn't know who Fanny is.

Mrs Piker · « **Reply #14 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:13:07 PM »

Sorry Terry and Stevie but I don't understand

Julie

Tezza · « **Reply #15 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:15:44 PM »

I actually meant Fanny, as Fanny Craddock - the cook

Mrs Piker · « **Reply #16 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:30:53 PM »

I've never heard of her

Julie

I did wonder!

I'm a lot older than you, and remember watching her on TV, and in black and White! She had recipes for every edible thing you could think of, and was a hoot to watch

Stevie has just been explaining to me who she was, he's older than me too

Julie

Look her up on the Internet Julie, there will be some footage of her, honestly, she was so funny to watch, and she used to boss her little husband around too in the kitchen, and have him fetching and carrying for her
