There's a smell over the north of Lewis...

Last Friday the annual arrival of guga at Port of Ness took place with a queue on the pier waiting for the doubtful pleasure of buying what looks like an oiled chamois leather with a frame of bones attached. My cousin Dolina bought ten and tells me there is more meat on this year's birds than last - whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on your point of view. Anyway before those not in the know rush to buy Dynorod franchises for the island, be warned the smell is only temporary while the gannets are being consumed though there will be a short term revival of the distinctive aroma when the remaining gannets are taken out of cold storage and served in pitta bread to attendees at the 2007 Fank. emporio Alanjohn has a drive through guga lane now for the next fortnight which for an extra 30p can be maxed too give extra fries and a jumbo Pola Cola.
Wonder what a gannet and hedgehog terrine would taste like?

Get to Emporio Alanjohn's early to avoid disappointment - the emergency services are queue jumping by putting their sirens on to get there first. Is it true that celebrity chef F. Gannet Ramsay is doing the Fank catering next year?

Any chance you happened to have the old box brownie out calumannabel ?

Sorry pondhead the people in the queue all ticked the X box requesting no publicity. Would you like the world to know you ate gannet?

calumannabel from san lorenzo fivepenny


Yes, I must admit that pictures of guga in the flesh would have enhanced the report. Was there so much demand that an impromptu auction had to be undertaken? Was Arnish successful in his/her bids? Did the gugas end up down the gullets of locals or were they outbid by incomers?

Have I not told you? How many times? DO NOT KEEP BROWNIES IN BOXES. It makes Pow wows almost impossible, and I think it may be slightly illegal, but only slighty mind. And while I'm on, who is this Fran Chise? WHO IS SHE? WHO IS SHE? WHO IS SHE???

So how do you eat yours?

Sunny from Arran


As Julia Child said to .... : "one bite at a time (with lots of butter, I presume)"

mjc from NM,USA


Best eaten with Madras sauce while blindfold.

Mhairianna from London


I just loved the rejoinder of the Semi retired guga hunter from Lewis. Wonderfully funny and pithy.

mjc from NM,USA


I thought Brownies were kept in packs.........along with brown owls, toadstools and charred suasages with pink middles.

Och you can't beat a good bit of Guga!! Yum yum!

Glasgow Islander from Glasgow


Did anyone see Gordon Ramsey's F Word last night? He was on Lewis cooking Guga! NOT KIDDING!!!

Sunny from Arran


Guga juice rubbed firmly into the skin does wonders for keeping the midges at bay, though the treatment may also be partially responsible for the high number of elderly male bachelors on Lewis

i love the smell of Guga in the morning.

Cliffclimber from Harris


Was it the Everly Brothers who sang: Guga in the morning, guga in the evening, guga at supper time ....?

mjc from NM,USA


No it wasn't the Everly Brothers it was a very second rate ventriloquist.

calumbert from Cheese Cottage Cross


How could you tell?

Flying Cat from Ancient music compendium
