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?

Is that a type of pudding, RedRec? I've not heard of it.

DuLANGDuLANGDuLANG · 09/04/2020 19:12

bitches

I don’t think this board is your natural habitat, RedRec.

Michelleoftheresistance · 09/04/2020 19:12

Chocolate concrete we called it. I have an official recipe from an actual dinner lady if you want it??

Is a woman an Adult Human Female?

(Immediately please!)

extra rum truffle balls. My one experience of nepotism.

Snort.

I'm just making egg custard, not tarts.

We're in an area with many egg farms and dairies. And livestock. Fortunately also some veg boxes as I'm close to literally living off the fat of the land at the moment.

Just as well there are quiet paths to walk some of it off. Some lovely wildlife, I saw a zephyr of bumbarrels the other day

My mum used to be a dinner lady

Mine too! She was only a playground supervisor but the cook still used to save me extra rum truffle balls. My one experience of nepotism.

there used to be random strips of pastry on top of the tinned jam at my primary school

Oh I know the one you mean. Kind of like a lattice pattern?

The coconut was on a cake like the pink icing cake but with jam spread on top and sprinkled with coconut.

I got a flapjack recipe from a local school...it feeds 80

Really works my maths skills

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 09/04/2020 18:18

She bought walnuts to stick on top of the whips!!

Thats how dedicated she is Grin

Nigella has an AMAZING recipe for a homemade G&T jelly. It's delicious and also very dangerous because it slips down so nicely
This is the only recipe I have ever made thst failed abysmally Grin it never set & we were forced to use straws ShockGrin

Errol your custard tart discussion is tormenting me - I love custard tart but we are still lacking eggs round these parts.
My friend’s granny was famous for her egg tart I can see her now in her 90s magically producing egg tarts that were the depth of pudding bowls & coated in nutmeg. Absolute heaven & always eaten with a bearded collie resting their chin on your feet Grin

Marks do walnut whips and variants thereof. Like coffee or caramel. They used to anyway.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 09/04/2020 17:42

I forgot they used to have walnuts inside too!
Peppermint Aeros used to be delicious before the got Nestle'd

Different mouthfeel too, I expect.

No Buzz, just no Angry

Toffee creme tart was the one everyone actually liked. (Is that 'gypsy tart'?)

I had a student flatmate who liked walnut whips, so treated herself to a 3-pack. One was defective so she wrote to complain, and received an apology ... and 2 3 packs. One of those was defective ...she was a maths student so it was nice she had a run of exponential good luckGrin

I just made banana bread to the BBC Food recipe because DH did the shopping and threw tins on top of the bananas. No wasted food here! Besides, we'd eaten all the bara brith I made on Saturday.

The banana bread is moist and yummy and still a bit warm from the oven. Going down well with a cup of tea. Instead of creaming butter and sugar, I just melted the butter and threw everything in the bowl.

Does trans culture include baking? I'd happily swap recipes.

He made me pay with a 20 so I had to stand there for ages waiting for change. I also don’t remember it being very whippy.

I’ve had to give up peppermint Aeros cause of nestle and the Aldi version is too intense!

Aldi knockoff mars bars though are better than the original.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 09/04/2020 17:27

Sorry, Lou. Sad. I think it's the walnut whips, they're obviously made out of formula milk and bad kharma.

LouHotel · 09/04/2020 17:26

My mum use to have a walnut whip and I remember they were 55p compared to my 30p chocolate choice so thought they were Superior. stole one when I was 7 and it was shit. My dad also marched me to the shop to apologise and pay.

This thread is bringing up some harmful memories.

I just dropped in to say Thank you to everyone who is engaging with this OP.

I know someone has to get out there and do it. Otherwise these misogynist OPs stand unchallenged, where some other idiot will read them and think "Oooh Terkiller (or whoever) is so brilliant, no one could contradict his clever comment".

It's a boring and thankless task. I do it myself sometimes but other times I can't face it. So I am saying Thank you.

No coconut I remember - there used to be random strips of pastry on top of the tinned jam at my primary school.

PertEllaTitsahoy · 09/04/2020 17:14

Was that the one sprinkled with desiccated coconut?

Michelleoftheresistance · 09/04/2020 17:10

Remember the gypsy tart with the rock hard pastry and neon red tinned jam??

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 09/04/2020 17:03

Oh my God I Want the school pink iced sponge cake with hundreds and thousands

I want the rock hard brownie cake type thing with custard that softened it.
