ASDA!!? I must repair at once. Thank you so much.

>>3116

I know place that does that too. Lovely!

If you're ever in Lancashire you need to find yourself a butter pie. It's a heart attack in a silver tray but so delicious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_pie

PROTIP: if making a pie then cans of condensed soup only watered down a little help make a good 'gravy' for in your pie e.g. chunks of chicken and veg and a can of condensed mushroom soup with a little milk or cream added = NOMNOMNOMNOM

Oh yeah, and my favourite pastry contained savoury dish is the mighty pasty - beef, onion, swede, potato, salt & lots of pepper, a small knob of butter.

In fact I may make pasties again this weekend.

>>3111
I should probably get some sleep... I saw the "headline" of your post (Pies Anonymous) and just thought "Huh, there really is a self help group for everything these days..."

>>3107

Well I'm not a chav, although I probably should be, I meet most of the requirements.

>>3122

You may be an 'educated chav', as my "friends" refer to me as.

>>3058
I find that the local Holland and Barrett's stocks some fine milk/white chocolate coated raisins, amongst other such things.

>>3124

>educated...as my "friends" refer to me as.

A rather low threshold for the term in that case. Do your friends spend their time decorating cave walls?

>>3124
I've got those very boots and I'm not a chav, they are very good walking boots dear boy.

>>2430
If you like Marabou then you will also like Freia Melkesjokolade.
Marabou was initially a Swedish subsidiary of Freia's.
They're both very high quality milk chocolates.

Remember those things that you used to love, but don't buy anymore because of some bullshit reason that you can't even remember.

I remember those things, too.

>>2426
just like how white people aren't really people at all.

Burger vans are fine if you want to pay often extortionate prices for burgers which have less meat in and lower quality than ASDA Smartprice burgers. That doesn't stop me eating them though, just as I still smoke.

When i was about 12 i used to get a tray of chips from a van when i used to go to carboot sales with my gran.

>>3163

Gripping tale, lad.

It was a roller coaster ride full of thrills from the beginning to the end.

I used to have a fish and chip van come and stop outside my house every Thursday, always being chased by kids after scraps... which he'd give them for delivering food to houses.

Shit was awesome, though fuck driving round with a vat of burning hot oil in the back all day

>>3166 sage because I just realised I made the same post about a month ago... fucking aids

go forth and experiment.

Anyone actually tried those coffee-bags?.

Any good?

>>3091
Surely you jest?

>>3118
No, i'm mildy curious. Surely it's working on the same principle as 'filter' coffee, which isn't brilliant, does result in a superior drink than instant for those of us who have no time to arse around in the morning.

>>3133
They're alright, taste-wise they're a sort of mid-point between instant and proper brew.

So what's the technical difference between "cracked" black pepper and regular? Is this just a new poncy way of saying you ground it out of the old pepper mill?

>>3057
"Cracked" implies very coarse ground.

Op here, i spent the next 24 hours in bed with a migraine after eating this and only managed to eat about a quarter of an apple. It was not good, I am not blaming the eggs however, I think I may have a garlic allergy. Damnit.

>>3076
They're clearly undercooked, you fool. You've gone and given yourself semolina.

>>3092
Damn, I quite fancy some semolina now.

It isn't lasagne without a bechamel sauce.

Lasagne is better with bacon in it.

>>2992
Everything is better with bacon, and everyone here already knows it. No need to point it out in every thread.

>>3002

There is always a need whenever it applies.

Courgettes are also nice in it.

I remade it but used minced beef instead and had to improvise the tomator sauce with some plum tomatos whizzed up in the blender with a carton of tomato pasta sauce due to lack of chopped tomatos. It will be nommed either tonight or tommorrow

>>2825 There are starving people out there who's Christmases would have all come at once if someone offered them £50 to eat than sandwich, and you would turn your nose up at such an offer?

SHAME ON YOU!

>>2826

I'd probably pay £50 not to eat it, and then give it to them.

First culinary law: cheese improves _everything_.

Yes, even that.

>>2835

Even cake is improved by cheese. CHEESECAKE

>>2816
Corned beef is very high in saturated fat. Perhaps a switch to thinly sliced ham or even turkey would make for a heathier alternative for your sandwich?. I've had growing concerns recently about the state of your colon.

>>3026

If I had a restaurat the vegetarian option would be

"please don't fuck off disappointed - just fuck off'

Someone else once paid for me to fly Virgin Upper Class. It was far and away the best food I have ever had in the air. Also, you get something like one trolley-dolley per four people in the front. The speed with which courses are served, your glass is refilled, has to be experienced to be believed. Turning left when you get on a plane fucking rocks.

I love airline food and everything about it. Never had a bad experience, even with meals that I've never heard of.

I really don't think I've had a bad one, though I do have rather poor taste. Even the worst airline meal I've had was better than the average microwave meal (which I do enjoy). Maybe it was the altitude.

Although when I fly to Dublin, all BA give me is a ham sandwich and some crisps, but then I suppose it's only a 40 minute flight so it's not that bad.

Everytime I think of Airline food, I'm reminded in a scene of Dexter's Laboratory or something similar in which he is on a plane, receives his food and below the plastic there is a barely-alive owl (which still has it's feathers) stuffed in there, hootling feebly.

It's silly, but I never trusted plane food ever since then, and this was in about 1998 or something.

I've never been a fan of spicy foods. I don't mind a bit of spice like a normal curry but why eat something that makes your mouth burn and eyes water?

Not trying to troll, I've just never seen the appeal.

>>3060
It's usually a combination of three things:
Firstly, and most obviously, there is bravado; I don't think that needs any explanation. Second is that different people have differing sensitivity for capsaicin, so some people quite simple don't feel it as strongly. And last, but not least, there are literally chilli addicts; pain causes an endorphin counter-response which can become quite addictive (see also: runner's high).

>>3045

I once made spiedini of monkfish (skewers of the meaty fish on stripped stalks of rosemary - very nice since you ask) and did a sauce from lime zest, oil, and razor-thin strips of scotch bonnet peppers. Mark me, as the ghost said in Hamlet, for these little blighters certainly did.

No chilli I have ever experienced comes close to the ruthless ferocity of these infernal waxy pods. Beware.

>>3062
So people eat it because they want to seem brave, they don't have much sensitivity to it and to get high from pain?

>>3064
Usually one of the three dwarves the others, but yes.

I'm lucky if I get one or two a day, since I don't eat any vegetables.

Health food shop crap is expensive, mostly hocus-pocus and the money would be better spent on eating proper food.

Talismans for the lazy and those with more money than sense (even if that isn't much money at all). It is a waste.

>>3004
That's exactly what it is, but despite it's simplicity it's good enough to improve the nutritional balance of those it targets if and when they adhere to it.

Hmm sounds like it's made to treat people like retards though. Disappointing.
As I understand it, one portion is a ridiculously small amount, half a cup, a quick search yields
"A portion is about 80g of fruit or vegetables. This is roughly equal to:

A banana counts as one portion of fruit.

* an apple, orange, banana, or similarly-sized fruit
* two plums, nectarines or similarly-sized fruit
* a handful or grapes or berries
* a slice of melon, pineapple or large fruit
* one tablespoon of raisins or other dried fruit
* Two serving spoons of broccoli counts as a portion of vegetables.
* two serving spoons of cooked vegetables, e.g. broccoli or carrots
* a dessert bowl of salad
* two serving spoons of beans and pulses (only one portion per day)"

Vegtables Used:
1/2 Courgette
4 Cuts of Broccoli
4 Cuts of Cauliflower
1 Pepper
4 Baby Corns
5 Cherry Tomatos
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 Onion

Can anyone else confirm that this is any good?

>I have no idea what will happen if I put it on bacon, though.

The extra bacony flavoured bacon would taste so awesome that it might just create a singularity and end the world. But, isn't that risk worth it, to get the god of all rashers of bacon?

>>2926
this is clearly crap. unless you have a remarkably high tolerance for saltiness, salting bacon is daft.

>>2941
Dpends. Some of the cheaper bacon varieties taste of very little and not even particularly salty, so they might benefit from a dash of this stuff. On the whole, though, I agree.

http://buybaconsalt.co.uk/ have a Cheddar flavour! Cheese and bacon! I think I'm in heaven.
