Simple request for 'gender critical' activists

Aldi used to have tablet, wonderful stuff. haven't seen it for some years, and am inclined to blame Brexit which has stopped do many UK food exports. And I can see why getting certification for tablet in these health conscious days might be a challenge.

For a nice sugar-free treat, why not potato cakes? Cold mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt, as much flour as they can take to make a solid but pliable dough, patted flat to ca 75mm thick, cut to size, cooked on the pan, eaten with BUTTER!

If you’re in Portugal I raise you Pastéis de nata

Stoppit!! I'm fat enough!!!

I'm gonna boast now though. My village shop sells the most incredible locally made tablet. I can eat it whenever I want with NO stirring! Yay!!!

which, naturally, is why I'm fat.

I'm not surprised by the sensitive content filter on that given the presence of (gags) raisins in that receipe.

Welsh cakes, food of the gods.

I make Welsh cakes sometimes, in my Le Creuset knock-off lidded frying pan. Which weighs an absolute tonne!

Hang on, what about Welsh Cakes?

Husband makes nice tablet but can't face the constant stirring.

I gave some tablet to an English friend years ago to try and he accused me of trying to poison him (because of the sugar, not the recipe)! 😄

Can we stick with Scotland but change to tablet? Any good recipes welcomed as are samples if you wish me to assess your tablet making skills

We need a special recipe for Scolding Scones.

Definitely need treacle in them to seal our mouths shut with delicious goodness.

If we're talking animals, I'm in Portugal and have just seen a van with a logo of an angry looking bumble bee, wielding an oil can.

Very helpful and educational post. Thank you!
Apart from the OP obvs.

Yes. It's delicious. HTH.

Perfect Mumsnet.

Not generalising about sweet treats or naming an individual.
Not specific about how much of each ingredient.
Also chippy.
And a recipe in a drive by scolding.

Hedgehog= excellent.

It's a shi-tzu. Oh wait, that's the wrong joke.

Now I've just found a hedgehog on the back doorstep. It's a zoo here.
Still, I made Highlanders so the world is GOOD.

Apparently the thread has moved on.

And it's a much better thread than anticipated. Thank you ladies!

To clarify. Just take em out. NOT clean em. Put em out by the road for the bin men to collect.

Maggots ARE repulsive but I've just dealt with a tick that crawled off the cat on my lap onto my hand (he's got more fur than me, it must have been feeling lazy) so I'm feeling all jacked up on adrenaline now. Although I did panic and race through to drop it on a saucer before it bit me and then melt candle wax on it. So...shrugs. It is now an ex-tick. I'm a Great Hunter. Or summat...

Don't make rash promises @CocoapuffPuff

I'm sure nothing quite so horrible would happen in @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius 's well run and orderly household, but I had maggots in my bin this week and the HORROR!. Did you know they can climb? The bin wasn't that full but they were all the way up the sides and in a thick layer on the inside of the lid. Very very fortunately today was bin day and most of the got shaken loose and the rest got washed off with water, bleach, more water, a little more water just to be sure, then left in sunshine for several hours.

I've never had such a thing before and am making many good resolutions about what does and doesn't get binned in future and how thoroughly things get wrapped in paper when they go in.

Oooooooooohhhhhh....

faints in anticipation of the lemon recipe being discovered

Please please pleeeeeeeeeeze share it if you do find it!

I'll take your bins out for a month....

Whether the healthcare provider was GC or not is irrelevant. They can ask questions about your history, but not insult you. In the same way that people who hold religious beliefs that do not accept gay people, can not be homophobic to patients. You should give feedback via PALS, so it can be looked into.

I guess it's similar to being a doctor, having a white patient who wants people to believe they're black.

Trans fats - they were all over the media a few years ago, weren't they?

I'm not contributing any recipes as I'm a crap cook. Though I do make a passable Shrewsbury biscuit.

Human mental function is flexible enough that it can cope with the non-binary branches and divisions that happen in rambling conversations, written and verbal. Not as easy for AI scrapers and analytical tools. If we want to debate butter versus margarine wrt trans fats we can do that without upsetting any physical person of any sex. Machines may be less happy.
