Transphobic attitudes contradict the good feminism does everyday

Why is there such a large portion of the feminist movement so against trans culture. Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups. Why is it suddenly okay to for feminists (a formally oppressed group) to oppress trans people (currently oppressed group) why?

Oh no, I was hoping no one would mention those awful lemon puffs! They were my Dads favourites, but he used to open all the biscuit packets and put them in the biscuit tin. The flavour if those lemon puffs would invade every other biscuit. Lemon Garibaldi anyone? What about a nice lemon chocolate bourbon?

Jacobs lemon puffs. (Which sounds like a homophobic slur).

@ErrolTheDragon you can indeed make meringue with Aquafaba (Chickpea juice). Done it several times very successfully. Not as stable as eggs but you couldn't tell the difference tbh.

But if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position

Love it PerkyPomPoms. I used to make lemon shortbread for Christmas, this will be replacing those. Thanks

Where can I get sugar free lime jelly? So fed up of strawberry and raspberry.
TIA
My mum used to make rice pudding in the oven of the stove (similar to an aga but not posh). It would bake slowly all day and she would add milk at regular intervals. We would fight to scrape the toffee out of the bottom of the dish.
I am not sure it would be worth keeping a modern oven on all day tbh.

I think this was the recipe.. I added a bit more lemon and a hefty salt sprinkle.

Yes, Errol, chickpea water. As a chemistry experiment it was amazing! Dyed pink with beetroot juice. They look gorgeous.

Re horse - he didn't realise what it was until part way through. - which part? Grin

And actually, I kind miss Melting Moments too. I liked the Arnott's version with the triangles of icing. But I do miss the cafe made ones as well.....

Winesalot · 09/04/2020 11:37

You made lemon crisps!! legend

LouHotel · 09/04/2020 11:37

Sorry are you telling me that the pink custard I had at school was merely self identifying as custard?

Winesalot · 09/04/2020 11:37

Arnott's are THE biscuit gods though. I look at the UK supermarket shelves with despair.

PerkyPomPoms · 09/04/2020 11:36

I made some at home and they were rather delicious. Might have another crack before school starts next week.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 09/04/2020 11:35

They look good PerkyPomPoms

Off to the gulag the lot of you!

Can we please establish the status of milk based puddings and chewy tea before we depart? I may opt for Guantanamo Bay as an alternative if it does a decent Rice Pud and a Lady Grey with no lumps.

I think foxs did it

And it was flakey

If you don't mind eating gelatine, when I was little my mum used to put stewed rhubarb in orange jelly to set. That was really nice. I know there are veggie jelly substitutes, but they don't seem to have the bounce.

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 11:21

There is nothing like that salty lemon flavour is there

Sort of the biscuity cousin of a margarita?

TinselAngel · 09/04/2020 11:20

Remember when all we had to worry about was horse in our cottage pie? Good times.

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 09/04/2020 11:20

I once said i liked the schools lemon mousse to my dad

Cue a massive chest freezer jampacked with every flavour mousse imaginable

Took me years to pluck up the courage to tell him that i dont like mousse...i just liked THAT mousse

(A few weeks ago he told me that his generation didnt stockpile BOLLOCKS!!!! We had enough mousse to feed the 5000...FOR YEARS)

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 11:19

Vegan meringues? Is that the thing you can allegedly do with the water from cans of chickpeas? Is there anything you can make with this fluid that's actually nice?

DH once ate horse tartare in Belgium, he didn't realise what it was until part way through.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 09/04/2020 11:18

Thank your for validating my belief that feminism is a platform for bullies and hypocrites. As most of you have suggested I will do one. Feminism is dead thanks to stupidity and hostility in this post, long live equalism.

Please continue to be ignorant

I dunno, I have found this thread very informative. Namely the difference between Semolina, Sago and Tapioca, also Bubble Tea, which I've never tried and really don't think I want to.

PerkyPomPoms · 09/04/2020 11:18

They were delicious layers of crisp biscuit with luscious lemon flecks and a tantalising sprinkle of salt. Food of the gods.
