Transphobic attitudes contradict the good feminism does everyday

My first attempt at buiscuits beyond an oat and butter recipe. Usually do cakes, but eggs are precious

My mum used to be a dinner lady and would smuggle home the leftover pink iced sponge.

Arctic roll day was the best though 🤤

Oh my God I Want the school pink iced sponge cake with hundreds and thousands!!! I haven't thought of that in years, you're geniuses. I'm not sure it'll work properly without tepid, lumpy pink custard, but you can't have everything.

performative heretic baiting

Yes. Unfortunately the leotard breached regulations, and they didn't stick the landing. 2.4.

Do they have a walnut in the inside, too, Wakti? I mean, it's immaterial as there's no Lidl within an hour's drive of me, but I will make note of it for future post-apocalyptic chocolate hunting expeditions.

Is this the place for buscuit advice? Mine are a bit soft

Different mouthfeel too, I expect.

sorrynotsorry

Fondant Fancies are a) minute now and b) are so sugary they hurt my teeth. I occasionally buy them in the hope they've return to their magical state of soft scrumptiousness, but alas, no.

I didn't realise they were Nestle. Fuck 'em twice, in that case.

Lidl do a very passable own brand version... (and now I need to buy some).

I'm seriously considering a jelly/condensed milk/tinned fruit type pudding tonight.

I dunno. We were really hard up when I was a kid and the only pud or cake we got was made by my mum. She is an excellent cook. So for me, shop bought has an air of luxury and forbidden pleasure that homemade will never attain. Even now, fondant fancies are the height of posh.

Is this the place for buscuit advice? Mine are a bit soft

Are they home baked or shop bought? If they’re shop bought, I wonder if you put them in the oven, if it would harden them?

That just reminds me, I meant to order a dehydrator. I bet that would work in biscuits that have went soft.

Chocolate downsizing scandal:

They're just shite, now, is what they are.

I loved walnut whips. Aren't they just whips now

I tell you, I could have wept when I last had a Walnut whip and there wasn't one inside. Fucking robbed.

In the good old days they had a walnut on the inside, as well as on the top.

Great use of Walnut Whips there Rufus. So difficult to get them with the walnuts on these days

I bought some treacle cornflake tart in my necessary grocery shopping yesterday, and OMG it's almost orgasmic. Another thing we used to have for school puddings.

Thanks Dido
That makes sense now

I am being even more careful than usual not to waste food.
I made a bread and butter pudding out of slightly out of date hot cross buns.
It was extremely good, though I say it myself. [Smug]

My friend makes the most awesome cakes

Very professional looking

Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups.

The only groups I've seen tras advocate for is themselves. That hasn't changed. And women aren't oppressing you. We just don't want men in our spaces. That's not oppression. That's exercising our sex based rights. Hope this clears things up for you.

btw what is ashop bought "home made " dessert
I'm confused, please help. I'm easily confused though

Puds and cakes sold by independent cake shops and patisseries who bake products on their own premises or adapted home kitchens rather than industrialised kitchens. They will not be cheap and for all purposes look and taste as if they had been made by a good home baker (which is what they are) rather than Mr. Kipling.

• i.e if I set up a cake shop I'd be making cakes etc. the same way and with same quality of ingredients I use for my own consumption but selling them in a shop.

Following this thread has been like reading the weird result of a writer who accidentally staples their thriller novel to a Nigella cookbook, so you wind up with the man who walks into a bar trying to start a fight, and five minutes later everyone is talking about the creaminess of texture

Extra points for the occasional return to discuss the OP’s points which only spring boards more discussion of school dinners

Btw, I like Blancmange, Living On The Ceiling was an excellent song

There may be a certain amount of 'what can I make with random stuff from the back of the cupboard' going on...are naice cake shops/counters open? Although I've just realised one of the home delivery services available to us that we're resist g at the moment is the local 'shop bought homemade' cake and pie shop. I'm ok with my egg custards for now, but I might make a fantasy list.

I’m prepared to stand corrected but I heard once that it’s considered bad manners in France to attempt a home made dinner party dessert. Patisserie or nothing
