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?

Itis also good to coat chips and potatoes to make them crunchy

It is.

I can't be bothered Googling but rice, tapioca, sago and semolina are all different aren't they?

Rice is obviously rice. Tapioca is from the cassava root. Semolina is wheat based and I can't remember where sago comes from.

If you grouted with WBH your bathroom would smell of rancid banana Envy (still not envy)

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:52

Right, that's it.

What the bloody hell is bubble tea?

Turquoiseeyes · 08/04/2020 23:51

If WHB is used as grout, the tiles will stay for 40+ years. My child used to eat 7 W for breakfast, it's really funny now because his children love W not with the BH I hasten to add.

TinselAngel · 08/04/2020 23:51

We don't miss the WBH though .

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:51

WBH is Weetabix mashed with bananas and warm milk, known as Weetabix Banana Horror. It was beloved of LangCleg, late of this FWR parish, now gone to less constructing environs, and much missed.

My Mum used to put a dash of rose hip syrup in my orange squash when I was little (it was the 70's).

The tapioca in bubble tea reminds me of fish eyes. Envy (not envy)

I remember being served something in school called semolina, but yes, it was in fact tapioca or sago. But semolina was definitely what the dinner ladies called it. Strange.

I think ours was in fact tapioca too, not sure why it was called semolina. Horrible texture, so like Errol I just tried to pick the jam out and looked on in horror as other people mixed theirs in.

What's WBH?

Pure concentrated evil in breakfast form.

Winesalot · 08/04/2020 23:49

In Australia, we made semolina as porridge for breakfast. But it makes great honey soaked cakes.

Love grilled (ie set firm) cheesy polenta too.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 08/04/2020 23:48

prodigalkittens yes, those tapioca pearls are fine, except when they shoot up the straw and choke you Grin

FlamingoAndJohn · 08/04/2020 23:48

It was more paste like I think, a gritty paste. Unlike tapioca which was more like Rice pudding.

AlunWynsKnee · 08/04/2020 23:48

Why does all of this semi liquid stuff constitute food? Anything that develops 'skin' is grim. Even warm milk left to get skin is vile.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 23:47

I like the tapioca that comes in bubble tea. The old timey pudding not so much.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:47

Can you still buy rosehip syrup?

Looks like it's all expensive stuff or recipes from river cottage or Hugh fernly whatshisname now. It used to come from Boots, as a source of vitamin C - orange juice was a luxury. We drank it mixed with PLJ.

DidoLamenting · 08/04/2020 23:46

Like custard smooth?

No- it has a texture.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 08/04/2020 23:46

I remember it being smooth... Or smoothish? Not lumpy like tapioca

DidoLamenting · 08/04/2020 23:46

I have a packet of semolina. I use it in shortbread

I use semolina or polenta as an alternative to breadcrumbs for coating home made fishcakes. It gives a nice, crispy coating.

Winesalot · 08/04/2020 23:45

Semolina is smooth? No way. It is rough and makes excellent porridge and cakes. Is it supposed to be smooth? Like custard smooth?

I am learning something here.

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:43

Oh, and I will go to the mat on the slime

DidoLamenting · 08/04/2020 23:43

It's the texture of the grain which is similar. You can swap semolina into a recipe which uses polenta. The Sophie Grigson works with either.

FlamingoAndJohn · 08/04/2020 23:42

Thinking about it, tapioca, semolina, sago and rice pudding were all basically the same thing weren’t they.
