Transphobic attitudes contradict the good feminism does everyday

Ok...nothing like custard creams

Oooh perky

Were they like custard creams ...but flakey and lemony

I had some vegan fudge once that tasted like coconut soap

I love the lemon crisp biscuits - was gutted when they stopped being imported to NZ

I know exactly what they mean with ‘tastes like horses’, despite never having licked a horse.

I made vegan meringues the other day. (Quarantine will do that to you.)

Family comment: 'These taste like horses'.

No you didn't.

I am on an interminable conference call and just lightly snorted at that.

Is the lemon bit of a lemon meringue pie basically a lemon blancmange? Because that's nice.

No. It’s lemon curd really.
Now I want lemon meringue pie.

well, thank you vipers all. This thread has brought back not so happy memories of my first lesson in cookery at secondary school where we spent about three hours making a cornflour mould aka blancmange - something i have never tried again since.

also i recall chocolate semolina with a finger of shortbread as one of the actually edible school dinner desserts.

Anyway, now back to the queue trying to book a UC appointment...

I paid for the full half-hour argument too

Do you know, orange jelly is surprisingly delicious, with real orange bits in it is EXTRA delicious. I was thinking maybe some of those vodka-soaked raspberries would be stellar.

Sorry, I appear to be laughing indiscriminately!

🤣

My mum used to make the recipe upthread with a half set jelly and evaporated milk. She calls it jelly fluff. It's delicious. It works if you swap the evaporated milk for dream topping too.
We used to have trifle that was jelly, "blancmange" and dream topping. The blancmange was basically milk with lots of cornflour and food colouring. Had absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever but it was cheap and sweet and brightly coloured.

Feminism is dead thanks to stupidity and hostility in this post

Out of the mouths of the hard of thinking. It's the post, not the thread, asserting that feminism is dead.

No. If made properly it's fresh lemon juice thickened with egg yolk. There's no dairy product. Can also be thickened with cornflour but egg yolk is the proper method.

No you didn't
That’s not an argument. That’s just contradiction.😉

Love you guys Thank you for ensuring the thread went straight to fundamentals.

I have been inspired to make a school sponge this afternoon, complete with pink icing and hundreds and thousands.

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

In my experience nobody is trying to " oppress" anyone. What women are demanding is an acknowledgment of the need and the desirability for single sex spaces, services and sports. People are also very rightly concerned about the medicalisation of childhood non-conformity.

Anyone is free - in this country - to crack on and dress and express however they like......However, this does not extend to controlling the behaviour and speech of everyone else around.

Sex is real.....and has real consequences......that is about it really.

Love custard, but once custard becomes cold and sets to blancmange , never becomes runny again.
Even if you cut a massive chunk of the blancmange, it is damaged and will never be custard.

Is anyone else a little disturbed that the new fashion advertising on MN is Anti-droplet caps?

I mean, it might be the way of the distopian future.

I preferred those lovely colourful boots though.

Please stop suggesting blancmange is similar to custard.

I don't care if pink blancmange identifies as yellow custard it can call itself what it likes, but please don't suggest that it is trans blancmange and actually IS custard as I find that deeply offensive to freshly made custard with it's own recipe.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Take some cottage cheese and dunk a spoonful in your camomile for a chunky bedtime drink.
Oh noooo I dare anyone to try this (not me)

In the old days, when friends weren’t the vectors for a horrible death.

Actual LOL at this.

I have an inexplicable craving for milk puddings.

Maybe we’re womaning wrong.
Perhaps there’s a protocol somewhere that can give us bullet points on what constitutes womanly behaviour, specifically on how we should respond to verbal provocation.
Or perhaps the responses could be used to illustrate differences between Female and Male behaviour, and the use of humour as a defence/dismissive rather than Hulk Smash.
