Is gone? Why on earth?!?

Literally the only contentious posts were whether or not tablet and fudge are similar.

I wouldn't dare tell any of you what to talk about or what not to talk about and I don't know the history is of this thread, but can I tell you of my first experience of Mumsnet about 3 years ago

I had lots of questions and was open to being educated by those much smarter than me so it was a bit of a kick in the teeth when I realised why the thread was quickly filling up with recipes and food talk. Several gins were needed before I had the courage to come back again.

There were some amazing recipes on there Cake

All this talk of lattice work has reminded me of a Carrot Fishing net! I need to see it being made and hung like a hammock from green pepper palm trees.

@Joisanofthedales

I really really need the marmalade cake recipe. It was going to cheer up my lockdown blues.

@testingmitb

Was that the thread with the Tragic Mushroom?

Someone posted a tablet recipe, anyone care to share as I have a mind to make some.

Ingredients
  • 1 can condensed mil
  • all the sugar in the world

Boil it.
Eat it.

I used to eat whole packets of Thornton's tablet. There's just something about it!

Have I missed recipes, again?!

How disappointing.

PeterPandemic · 03/02/2021 11:59

I'm going to use really cold pastry and grate it quick.

Obviously I've not made it yet because I've been busy googling kendal mint cake and finding a block of tablet DD had squirrelled in her room to remind her it isn't soap.

@ErrolTheDragon

But I never got an answer about a grated pastry pie top

You'll just have to make up a bit of pastry and do the experiment. My prediction is that the shreds will be liable to burn. I'm also puzzled about the concept of grating pastry in the first place. Surely easier to cut strips and shove them on - doesn't have to be in a fancy lattice just some one way and then some at right angles on top.

I wonder if the pastry was frozen? As all I can imagine is lumps of pastry being pushed through the grater....

My sausage casserole recipe is lost forever....will no one think about the children?????!!!!

PeterPandemic · 03/02/2021 11:51

Today is left over pie day so perhaps I'll mangle a lattice half and a grated half. The grated pie I had ages ago was lovely though, I just don't know if it was some special only for grating pastry. And I was inspired by all the recipe talk to ask but clearly that's when a thread gets deleted.

You can get chocolate covered KMC. It's a rare example where adding chocolate makes something less sweet.

PeterPandemic · 03/02/2021 11:38

I'd quite happily mute all the celeriac talk tbh. It's the devil's uncooked bollocks as far as I can tell but I skipped through that because of the tablet and Kendal mint cake. Plain chocolate dipped KMC would be worth climbing a large hill for.

Quite obviously the FWR vipers are to have absolutely no fun at all Angry

There are soooooo many threads where the OP never returns - why don't those threads get deleted? Was it all the talk of marmalade?

TottiePlantagenet · 03/02/2021 11:33

Ah, off to Bunbury Blush

TottiePlantagenet · 03/02/2021 11:32

Yes please ErrolTheDragon , that looked really tasty. I'd mentally bookmarked it to go back and copy it...

I see no reason to delete that thread, unless @MNHQ have a dislike to egg-related puns.

ErrolTheDragon · 03/02/2021 11:27

Maybe next time someone starts a thread like that - be it a DoM or a midnight misogynist type - someone should just start a thread in the recipes section, put in a link to it and then we can decamp there?

If I wasn’t quite so busy doing everything in the world I’d spend some time reporting AIBU threads where the OP has vanished.

Just came on for a quick home schooling break. No pancakes or tablet for us now! Confused
