Mumsnet Obsession With Penises

My controversial opinion is that most of the Mums who obsess here over penises, uteruses and chromosomes, would pick more important and interesting topics if their own child was trans.

I can't believe MN are censoring my image of seafood.

I don’t understand. I thought seafood shells were supposed to enclose and protect the fleshy parts?

Edited

I was thinking that was about Teddy Boys Grin

Gladly!

Malay fruit and meat curry.

1 large onion, finely diced.
2 apples, cored and diced.
1.5 heaped tablespoons marmalade.
1 big squirt tomato ketchup.
Mild madras curry powder - 2 tsps, to taste.
Chicken stock - about half a pint, more if you’re making a bigger curry.
Cooked chicken, shredded into large-ish chunks.
Sultanas - a handful.

Fry off the onion and apple until soft.
Add the ketchup and marmalade, and stir well.
Add the stock and curry powder, and allow it to bubble until rich.
Add the chicken to heat through, and the sultanas.
Add sliced banana, if you fancy it, and heat through.
Serve with rice.

It is quite a sweet, rich curry - I hope you like it. You can make it with minced beef or shredded lamb - just change the flavour of the stock.

I have a confession to make.

My Tunnock's Caramel Wafer tin currently contains Blue Ribands. The hazelnut one is lovely.

I was hithertofore unaware of the existence of Hazelnut Blue Ribands. I will be on a mission to Asda upon the morn!

(Side note - love the tin)

Despite Bernard and I's spat over tea, I must agree here. Snowballs are by far the superior Tunnocks offering.

I hereby declare that Tunnock's wafers are merely shite Blue Ribands (ducks. Quack)

I’m going to get the Good Law Project to appeal this miscarriage of justice for tea cakes, @Boiledbeetle. The grift crowdfunder starts tomorrow.

THEN you’ll be sorry Grin

Quaking. I'm quaking!

Caramel wafers?! No chance.

Banished to the salty cock-fish market oh no.

@Boiledbeetle, I need you here! The wafers are being slandered!

<Bangs gavel>

Order! Order!

As a totally impartial, and not in the slightest bit biased judge I herby declare that Caramel Wafers are by far the best of the Tunnock's products.

Now let that be the end of the matter.

And if anyone ever dares bring a lemon drizzle cake into my court room I will sentence them to 20 years working in a fish market.

I've already sent Arabella to one. As you'll see from her last post!

Sorry. Don’t want to put anyone off their pizza. Or Tunnocks ( [sideeye at @TwoLoonsAndASprout as everyone knows the wafers are too chewy compared to the pillowy deliciousness of teacake] )

Ah. I had something out of a tin which was several pieces each about two or three inches long. Kind of flabby sort of neat as I remember. I probably don’t want to know any more 🤣

I could of course google this but what's the fun in that. Ive cooked soft roe and hard roe, one comes from the female and the other doesn't. But I can't remember which is which .
It all tastes great on toast.

On the pizza front, can I make the case for white pizza with anchovy and lemon? Make a bechamel, spread over the base (I recommend large fresh naans from an Asian supermarket or similar), add anchovies and very finely sliced lemon. Scatter with mozzarella and bake for approx 12 mins at 180.

Bloody LUSH.

Plenty of anti-trans activists put their activism over IRL relationships..hell one of the best known ATAs did so to such an extent that his partner (and family) left him. There's been endless reports about this from both ATAs and from those who no longer have contact.

I've long advocated for a space like /r/QAnonCasualties for the latter.

Show quote history

I think "anti trans-activists" would be marginally nearer the truth. It is the TRAs who make unreasonable demands who get the backs up of the rest of us, for example by demanding to be accepted in the other sex's spaces, or demanding that everyone changes their use of pronouns under the threat of ostracism. Imposing a neo-culture on everyone is not the way to win hearts and minds; debate may be, if entered into in good faith and with the understanding that another point of view may have its own validity.

Talk of weird food combinations has reminded me that it will be time to go and get some fish and chips soon and that the accompanying condiment of choice around these ways, though not with me, is Piccalilli !

Fish roe is unfertilised eggs in a kind of lump/paste, isn't it? It's just urchins where "roe" means their gonads.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 03/07/2025 18:03

I generally object to pizzas without tomato on, but my local pizzeria does one with crème fraîche, mozzarella, pancetta, goat's cheese, fig chutney and rosemary and it is to die for.
