There's an unbelievable fish market where my sister lives as well.

All the haddock round here are liars too.

Jellied canned ham is one of the finest delicacies known to humankind.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Bleugh...!! The jelly!!! Ugh god the stuff of childhood nightmares

 

[Spymaster]

A thick slice of that with a fried egg on top = fine dining

 

[Mrs Miggins]

You disgust me

I use that in fried rice. It's lovely. Normally about 25% doesn't make it to the wok.

Now that doesn't sound too bad...oh god I might be trying some!

I have to have HP sauce on my fish and chips. Its just not the same without. I always get strange looks from people serving me, and whoever I'm eating with. Seems completely natural to me as its what my mum does. I think it might be an export from Belfast where my folks are from.

If you've never tried it you really ought to.

Pickle onions with a sunday roast.

Jesus I've just put it on my shopping list

It's not what I would reach for, but I don't mind brown sauce with chips generally, so can see how it might work.

This is not controversial. It's the natural way. Except for with Millennials, with their Uber Eats and their appalling grasp of history.

Do you have proper HP sauce on them or that watery Edinburgh 'sauce' stuff?

Proper HP. People in Edinburgh are Wrong.

I can understand the less adventurous among us being reluctant to eat it in thick slices with eggs but maomao's diced into fried rice is a perfect application of it. It's delicious stuff. You'll be surprised.

We had loads of it when I was a kid and I just remember being horrified by the jelly.

There is nothing wrong with Carling, Fosters, Carlsberg and other standard cheaper lagers, they all taste lovely.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Anyone* who pulls "that" face at a McDonalds and starts going on about how disgusting they taste is lying to themselves and the world.



*some veggie/vegan types may get a pass here. But they're probably still lying to themselves deep down

Says the resident sage and unopinionated voice of reason [emoji3]

Yeah, apologies for that. That was well grumpy.

One of my best mates used to sneak downstairs in the middle of the night when she was a child and eat raw bacon and sausages from the fridge.

She's still alive.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Don't most people agree with that though?

No. I think that kind of bread makes the absolute shittest toast!

There's nothing wrong with reheating a doner kebab for breakfast.

Palmer ham and the like are actually a bit rubbish. Improved by grilling but otherwise really nothing that special.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Almost everybody overcooks bacon. Crispy is rubbish, the fat/rind should be just about turning translucent, then it's done.

 

[xenon]

Most apples are crap except Grannie Smith and Pink Lady.

No idea about that, but Parma ham is fucking delicious

Tea is the devil's drink.

You've gone too far.

I love the jelly from that. The ham not so much.

And proper pork pie jelly with piccalilli.
