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 had curry pizza once, persuaded by a friend.

I expected it to be disgusting, but it was delicious.

May I share MY controversial opinion?

Curry is disgusting.
I hate it.
There I said it. Come at me 😬

That is controversial.

However, I really bloody love pineapple on pizza.

Get me a hawaiian anyday.

I am appalled.
Curry is the food of the gods.

I can't bear raisins/sultanas/currants etc so when I make Coronation Chicken for sandwiches, I cut an apple up very finely and mix it through. It's very nice so I can see the merit in curried apple.

I'm not sure how I feel about curried apples. I feel like it's one of those things I would be willing to try, but it doesn't sound appealing on paper.

I'm thinking the same. I can't decide if curry with apples and marmalade sounds amazing or vile!

Thank you!

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius would you share the recipe for the curry? Sounds intriguing!

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'm currently making a curry although veggie, no lambs or balls of any sort here.

I'm regretting it as it is very very hot, will be another 40+ in the shade kinda day.

I've already had to rub one semi feral cat down with an ice cube.

Donkey balls.

😆

I was mainly thinking ; 'How come the donkey does not kick him in the head?'

I wonder why my comment was removed, it was perfectly reasonable.

That's tiny baby lambs. The lambs we eat will be about a year old.

But as pointed out, this conversation, and the one about currying genitalia, is doing nothing to dispel the idea we are all obsessed with penises. Alas.

If we're not clutching pearls, we're currying testicles.

Alas the lambs round here don’t get that long. About 18 weeks on average.

I did know a woman whose job it was to massage turkeys to collect sperm to then blow the sperm up into the females via a straw. They have been bred so much for breast meat, they can’t breed naturally.

I also know someone who used to stand at a conveyor belt and sex chicks very quickly on an industrial scale. The little fluffy males were thrown into a crate to be killed. I can’t remember if they were gassed or crushed.

Agriculture is a brutal reminder of sex differences.

Better than clutching testicles and currying pearls, @ArabellaScott.

Yes, but the safest and most pain-free castration and tail docking has to be done before 7 days. Unless an animal is being raised for breeding there is nothing to be gained from retaining the nuts.

If the chap is used for breeding the hormones will make his meat taste bad.

Also this is making me think of the method of telling the time by lifting a donkey's balls.

WHAT??? 🫏 🎱 ⏰ 😂

I'm amazed there's any eating in lamb's testicles. In the days when I walked over sheep fields they tended to be sealed off with tight rubber bands when the animals were tiny, and atrophied and dropped off after a few days.

Ram testicles now - there used to be a woolly chap in the village who sought comfort by backing up to a farm gate and dangling his impressive scrotum over one of the lower bars - presumably taking the weight off was an ease. It wasn't a pretty sight, but it was undeniably impressive. In its way.
