I'm going to spend an hour perving and panting over food porn on Ocado that I cannot have

[suzywong]

because, for those of you who do not know, I live a tad outside the delivery range.

I haven't done this for 4 years.

What must I not miss?

I'm starting in the bakery section.

[moondog]

But how come?
You are in Oz, land of ace food.
Women's Weekly taight me everything I konw!

[HeadFairy]

Deli gets me every time, all sorts of lovely cheeses and olives in spicy garlicky oil. No wonder my food budget is spiralling!

[FrannyandZooey]

they don't deliver here either

[WideWebWitch]

their dressed lobster is lovely
look at their entertaining section too

[Cappuccino]

WWW I think you live in a deli

[WideWebWitch]

[WideWebWitch]

my arse certainly looks like I do

[moondog]

Aye WWW.
Il ove lurking on bootcamp thread (as you well know) and seeing what you have eaten.
Tis a veritable chorizo, cava & salmon fest.

[suzywong]

don't get me started on australian supermarkets, MD, the small producers and delis, perhaps, but no one who will bring quality trough and slap it straight on your kitchen table.

I've registered and everything, false name natch, so can I do my fantasy list and just legg it without paying?

And is no one else giving a rat's hat about the closing Olympic ceremony either?

[Cappuccino]

oh moondog doesn't she make you , our lovely WWW

here is her list from the other night

crab, prawns, anchovies, rollmop herring
chorizo
danish blue, port salut, brie
cava

I would have to be at a Christmas party to consume all that in one day

more

[WideWebWitch]

lol at false name for Ocado. Go on, post your fantasy Ocado shop then wong.

I know Moondog, I am enjoying lots of lobster, prawns and crab atm too.

[moondog]

I am going cerazeee on prawn front her in Bangladesh. I thkn they supply most of 'em to other places. Looking at some today as big as a baby's arm.

[suzywong]

I've been eating a LOT of lamb cutlets in all sorts of marinades, on my IPD.

What do yo imagine they are feeding those prawns, MD? . And have you noticed the veritable explosion in Homes for One Armed Babies in ?

I will post my fantasy list, I will be doubling up on many things as this is pure greed/porn.

I 'm still on the bread, which of course I do not eat in anycase.

[WideWebWitch]

Omg, I have just put 2 trays of roast potatoes into the oven, with rosemary, garlic cloves and salt and pepper and I know they will be these golden gleaming things and I can't have any. Never mind, can have chicken breast and skin with butter, thyme, garlic stuffed under the skin and I can have broccoli and green beans and mange tout but not peas or carrots or baby sweetcorn

[WideWebWitch]

yum at prawns in bangladesh moondog, what's it like out there? Are you enjoying it?

[suzywong]

what the HELL has happened to Kingsmill? Has it gone bust?

[suzywong]

oh no, just changed livery

carry on, as you were

[moondog]

Oh it's great.
Mad,chaotic, colourful, fabulous buildings, paddy fields of emerald green, lots of poverty (not so good obv.).

Food is wonderful and best bit (as have boasted repeatedly about on MN) is housekeeper who cooks like a dream. I haven't done owt in 6 weeks.

Actually, it is interesting leaving cooking and shopping to someone else. I eat less as he doesn't buy what I would buy.e

[suzywong]

and how's the child slave labour market? A friend of mine who works for the World Bank in Asia told me Bdesh is probably the worst place for it?
But obviously you are not directly responsible for it nor do you have any links to it so let's move on.

Are you in a compound with other expats? Can't imagine you there if you are. You must be on your best behviour

Feck I forgot to add a slab of angel cake to my bakery list

[suzywong]

there ain't none!
Granola traybake, wtf?

[moondog]

Child slave labour big issue.
I have seen factories where garment industry based and tis a hellhole.
Worst thing is begging. Dear God, tis like Hades=crippled,deaf,blind,maimed,learnig disabled,disfigured.
Stuff of nightmares.

lol at compoun idea. No way. It's not like that here, than God.

[Cappuccino]

oh dear lord Moondog you are not allowed to say crippled

go and stand in the corner and wring your hands

[suzywong]

yes, the special needs care is far more commercially orienteted over there isn't it? Shudder

so what are you in then, an ordinary middle class street? What's it like?

Who is Mrs Crimble? She seems to be rather aggressive on the biscuit front?

[suzywong]

there's an awfully big market for museli in JohnLewisPartnershipLand, is there not?

[moondog]

I think 'crippled' is apt epithet for emaciated hairless woman with no legs dragging herself through six lanes of traffic.

Anyway, I work with people with learning and physical diffs. so can say what I like.

I will admit that we live in posh part (all saluting guards and doormen ) but it aint all foreigners. As dh says, you can do Good Work and still not live hair shirt life.

Anywaaaay...have no wish to rap you all into a bummer. Back to cakes and pastries!!!
