Keir Starmer's time is up

[gosub]

Oh please. Boris or Blarites. It’s so hard to choose.

Its not. But its a tradgedy and a waste. Labour had no need to lurch as far as it did under Blair to get elected , and now their doing it again

As someone who was Crewe born and raised I assure we know what quinoa and couscous are, they're something eaten by nancy posh southerners who'd probably be poisoned by real food.
I've tried couscous once or twice, first to see what it was like and secondly to confirm I didn't like it. It's basically (barely) edible dust.

Next time you try couscous follow the instructions on the packet. Adding water is a core part of the process and stops it being barely edible dust

There will be no next time

Couscous is pasta. If it tasted like dust it hadn't been cooked.

He's from Crewe you know. Wouldn't be seen dead with any of that namby-pamby southern 'water' muck.

I really think these cultural assumptions and attitudes about food and what is 'real food' have to change / be challenged. Everyones diet has to change over the next decades, north Londoners, posh southerners and working class salt-of-the-earth alike, and this attitude that any 'new' foods are culturally suspect from a working class perspective is fucking stupid.

Don't dislike couscous because it's not authentic 'working class' food, dislike it because it's vile shit (though my occasional taste of caviar hasn't impressed me either) If anyone wants to try and impress my fellow Crewies in the delights of fine dining then be my guest though not many of those I know are likely to be all that keen on it.

Not about fine dining - just being open to a diet that is less meat heavy, and as such might include grains and pulses that are new to people.

(I note that a quick google search reveals that Crewe is not a culinary desert whatsoever)

?
Certainly the town that could have been Lichfield

I believe Jess Phillips was also silent.

I wish she was silent more often all the time.

My favourite is Morrocan lamb and couscous

 

[The39thStep]

Any Labour Party types on here got any recipes for quinoa?

 

[two sheds]

how you pronouncing that?

 

[brogdale]

how you pronouncing that?

It's kin-whah, darling

 

[two sheds]

Is that how it's pronounced in where it was invented or something?

 

[The39thStep]

how you pronouncing that?

twelve youtube videos on this issue , none of them from Crewe

 

[lazythursday]

it's how ordinary peasant Quechua people said it ('kin-wah'), before being spelled funny by the metropolitan elite Spanish. I think.

Another reason we were right to leave the EU.

The none of that poncy foreign muck for me! stance some bellends take when they want to be mean about middle class liberals is ludicrous. Listen to yourselves.

Well choose one then, Blair or Boris.

It's satire. Playing up to how the suburban intelligensia expect everyone but themselves and the other members of their book group to behave.

Foreign muck pork scratchings, very soft but great with a beer

I heard the daily mash need some new writers. You should get in touch.

It'll be Blair (Starmer) and same as with Major because people will have had enough regardless of what the opposition says/does

Which brings us back, full circle, to pie and...

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Have to say that it might be a tired joke now but also people (OK politicians) still do it unironically. Frothy coffee.

So YOU would vote Blair rather than Boris? I just want to be clear?

 

[ska invita]

Frothy coffee.

what a moment that was
mindblowing

 

[elbows]

Since Trump I believe thats now been replaced with frothy covfefe.

Put on a jacket and tie and have some frothy covfefe.
