AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

758 replies

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

Alongside the academic advances already discussed on this thread (before we moved into food controversies) there's another potential scientific law I feel may benefit from further study.

I love it.

I still have scrappy bits of paper with so many recipes printed out from that Mumsnet thread about quick, family suppers.

I can't remember the name of the thread, though. I'd have to take a look at some of the recipes to do a proper AS.

I need this thread, though currently we are eating up the freezer prior to a couple of days with no freezer access due to the hole in our dining room ceiling (and it being fixed).

I had to stop reading last night, because of mounting chocolate craving 🍫 😆

I spent most of yesterday resisting indulgence because of this thread.

My breakfast today was a Walnut Whip.

If we get to page 40, I'll be starting the day with Death By Chocolate.

(Pleeeease can we keep going on this to p40?!)

I made pistachio brownies last night. They were phenomenal.

This has no relevance to dried grapes, I just wanted to boast.

Anyone else here like Weetabix but only if it has nothing on? No milk, no butter, no jam, just straight out the packet?

Nope. I'd keep that embarrassing admission to yourself, if I were you. 😜

Ooh.

I have tons of recipes under M, for Mumsnet.

Infallible.

The words 'Mumsnet' and 'Infallible' never belong in the same sentence, poppet.

For my dark chocolate Bounty sisters: this recipe, dipped in dark chocolate, is utterly divine: https://meerasodha.com/recipes/diwali-recipe-coconut-milk-fudge-2/

The cardamom and not adding icing sugar is a game changer.

Raisins are dried grapes. Currants are something electrical. Sultanas are the wives of sultans.

I hate Raisins, currants, desicated coconut and wheetabix....
Texture issues. First 2 too squidgy and inclined to surprise.
Second 2, too grainy

Surprised by a raisin? Was it identifying as a strong currant?

Oh god, that's so true! Especially the 'inclined to surprise' 😆

Desiccated coconut is like grit.

Are they not all interchangeable? Currents, raisins, Sultanas.

Pretty much. And as long as they stay out of curries, I’m happy.

I did try the chocolate covered custard creams and liked them but prefer normal custard creams.

How interesting. Now tell me what name I use on these food-related socials because this is the only place I’ve ever used Empress or Kitty.

MassiveWordSalad · 30/04/2026 07:56

Yes, it’s something of a misnomer. I always thought currants were dried, you know, currants, but they're grapes. Makes no sense.

Serious stuff. Almost as serious as this database AidaP is building on us all...
