Jelly is a limitless, formless shifting miasma - you might be right.

Would it help if I said I only use it on cold meat?

TyroTerf · 12/01/2021 20:39

But jelly is a tool of the patriarchal oppressor!

ArabellaScott · 12/01/2021 20:17

jelly is weird

don't jelly-shame me!!! Shock

TyroTerf · 12/01/2021 20:14

We've got bramble jam, but jelly is weird, so that's a no.

Bramble vodka, on the other hand, is tempting...

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 12/01/2021 19:49

Hedgerow vodka is good too.

ArabellaScott · 12/01/2021 19:36

Bramble jelly? I make a general 'hedegrow' jelly, with whatever comes to hand. Sloes, brambles, rosehips, hawthorn berries, rowans, etc. It's lovely.

fatblackcatspaw · 12/01/2021 19:28

i have some plum vodka on the go I must go and test it...

I agree I agree! Blackberries are better without juniper, to my mind.,

Raspberries too. And raspberry vodka can be made with a pack of frozen raspberries from Lidl and cheapest Tesco vodka (which are easy to get hold of at any time of year) and takes about eight weeks.

fatblackcatspaw · 12/01/2021 17:57

sorry I that was for tyroterf!

@nauticant

I think at least part of the motivation for the thread was to horrify the mummies (lol!) but there's no problem if people want to engage.

Since I get accosted by the damned things every time I open my front door in autumn, I ought to try making bramble gin.

But I won't, because gin is demonic.

fatblackcatspaw · 12/01/2021 17:35

a bit late this year and no access to sloes.... though I do know a GC feminist local to me who is plannign to plant a hedge of it inher garden so I might have access ina few years

TyroTerf · 12/01/2021 17:25

Surely the whole point of sloe gin is you slowly make it yourself?

ArabellaScott · 12/01/2021 17:08

I only made it once. All that patient turning and gentle rotation and months of waiting. And it tasted like Buckfast!! Maybe other people do it better, though, it's very possible. Smile

fatblackcatspaw · 12/01/2021 17:03

woah! more subtle ... at least the home made stuff I've had

Kit19 · 12/01/2021 17:03

youngsplaining :D

ArabellaScott · 12/01/2021 17:01

I think it's a potentially relevant and interesting topic. And got the feeling it was in good-ish faith, if slightly patronising. Is there a word for younger people presuming they know more than older people? Youngsplaining, perhaps?

I always thought sloe gin tasted a lot like Buckfast.

MichelleofzeResistance · 12/01/2021 16:50

I often find myself thinking of that poem that starts "Everyone stop what you're doing. Everyone listen to Me."

I can't think why.

It is making me realise how incredibly lucky I am with my teen.

ooooh shall I take up the opportunity to be patronised and shouted at by a stroppy teenager?? I think not......

the Christmas chocolates I packed away last week have been very much unpacked again....

I don't think the BDSM fetishist is getting validation in the sense of agreement. Though of course a bit of robust disagreement might be just the sort of response a certain type of masochist was after.

fatblackcatspaw · 12/01/2021 16:08

'.... and I'm back! I've decided that the only way I can survive the present circumstances we find outselves in is SLOE GIN!! Has anyone had a decent commercially made one and can recommend? I was practically weeping when I got to do my Asda order and found that the one I'd found a few days before was not available.

nauticant · 12/01/2021 15:00

"I'd like everyone to talk about BDSM and validate my fetish."

No thanks.

Whatever the reason, I'm just glad the "pay attention to meeeeee give me the narc supply I crave" got pulled. Good call, whoever made it.
