Fake meat is pointless. Yes it’s vegan but it’s still highly processed.

Vegans who eat fake meat don’t really count as proper vegans, IMO.

People who don't iron are slobs

Nah, we just don’t buy clothes that need ironing. :)

Main courses in Chinese takeaway/restaurants are crap. Just have the starters and crispy peking duck. Puddings are even more pointless.

tobee · 05/05/2023 02:22

Chinese restaurant puddings obviously not all pudding

Oh you are so wrong. Chocolate and orange is ambrosia.

Raspberry and white chocolate however is an abomination that refuses to die. As for salted caramel, i.e. the-new- raspberry-and-white-chocolate, it's how I imagine the devil's spunk would taste.

Show quote history

The devil's spunk you say?

Sounds as if I'm going to be spending the afterlife noshing off the devil then.....

Al dente pasta is inedible and should be banned. The same goes for undercooked vegetables.

Everything tastes better with a teaspoon.

I now have an image of you, sitting cross legged in a corner behind the sofa, brown stains around your mouth, clutching a big jar of Marmite, going:

"It wasn't meee!"

@hotdiggetydog Yes!! Nobody else ever remembers that little legend brat 🤣

She gonna try and chase me … but she can’t run in those little high heels! (Oh I remember 😂)

Salad cream gives me the absolute shudders.

Subscription-based software is annoying. I don't care how powerful Photoshop is, if it doesn't let me own the license, I'd rather pay for Photoworks. ONCE.

It's easier to get a teabag out with a fork not a teaspoon.

OneFrenchEgg · 05/05/2023 06:40

Throw some rum in there & you've got my attention

Oh I love the evolution - rum and raisin dark chocolate Bounty. Like a fun canapé. Thank goodness it's a BH weekend I'll be experimenting with these food stuffs.

D before everything in MN speak should be banned. Ruddy ridiculous.

People over 75 should have yearly driving tests <<runs for cover >>

Free tho? Or it would mean that only wealthier people could still drive?

Sourdough is shit......and toasted sourdough is an abomination; hard, tasteless & totally disgusting

Yes ! as is rye bread , who needs a buttie made out of bread that is like a house brick .

Riapia · 05/05/2023 06:47

No woman over 30 should wear leggings.

David Attenborough’s turned into a right old misery.

I agree, every single time he has to mention global warming , the activities of man. Always banging on about it, I want a nice relax , watching the beauty of nature. I know about the depressing stuff thanks .

Awoooga · 05/05/2023 06:59

Fruit and mint in sweet items like cake or chocolate are fucking disgusting. ‘Mmm a cake that tastes like lemon’ said every wrongun ever

There should be a limit on the number of driving tests a person can take.

If I see an adult in a hoodie, I feel like they’re going to ask me for some change for a cup of tea.

Couples on Location Location Location who claim they want to be near independent shops and cafés are pretentious knobs who want to look more interesting on telly, and actually buy everything from Amazon and eat Tesco meal deals and Greggs pasties like the rest of us.

Def agree with a limit on driving test, I know someone that took 12 test ! bugger only knows how many lessons over about 6 years , he is hoping that the 13th will be his lucky number .

I wear hoodies , I promise I don't ask people for money

Doingmybest12 · 05/05/2023 07:04

Grown men should not wear flip flops unless by the side of a pool maybe. Grown men should my dress like toddlers -t-shirt with a graphic and long shorts . Men please don't wear shoes without socks . There is a theme.

baconisgoodforme · 05/05/2023 07:16

@Necrotic 🤣 there's a video compilation on YouTube of his best bits which is definitely worth a watch! I wonder what became of King Curtis

Getting engaged is a load of shite.
Either get married or don't.
Engagements mean nothing.

I think Boiled potatoes are a waste of time they taste of nothing.

Thats because they must be smothered in butter!

SouthCountryGirl · 05/05/2023 07:42

I'm not a huge fan of desserts

StrugglingwithIvanhoe · 05/05/2023 07:46

There is no place for fresh fruit on a chocolate cake.

whiteroseredrose · 05/05/2023 07:52

Sweet has no place on savory dishes. And salt should keep away from sweets (I'm looking at you salted caramel).
