[munz]

i've done one batch but DH think's they're too strong so DB will be having those lol. is there an easy way to peel them cos they're bloody strong, and last time I was crying with them - any hint's would be appriciated! lol. there's a huge bag to do so I can get them done for xmas.

thanks.

Peel them underwater then they won't hurt your eyes

good for you though - have pondered doing this for ages - thanks for the nudge.

I have read holding a chunk of bread between your teeth helps.

lol. never heard the bread will try the water one, I did the salt last time as well - I was amazed how much salt came out of them! lol.

I think they were so strong cos that day DH pissed me off so I put loads of black pepper corns and chillis in! lol.

Think if you leave chopping the top/bottom off til last that is the bit which causes the crying.

wear contact lenses!!!

my eyes dont water at all with them in. if i wear my glasses my eyes stream.

not a very practical answer for you though is it
