A hill you will die on.

Mine is amongst others that carbonara should only ever be made with long pasta, none of your penne, or fusili nonsense.

It was common where we lived, and amongst my parents friends and their kids. Horses for courses.

We totally agree on teachers though!

Brussel sprouts are the work of the devil

Try them with dry white wine. Delish!

Yes, one of mine is teaching my niece now and he must be 103. I swear he can't leave the grounds, it's like the TV show Ghosts.

🤣🤣🤣

Condemned to teach Latin to teenagers for ever more. What a fate.

Why not? What makes a holiday then?

Exactly, of course it's a holiday! To me a holiday is when you go to stay somewhere for leisure for more than 1 night that is not your home or the home of any family member. Location of said place is immaterial.

So dogs should never reproduce and just die out then?

Roasting some right now. 😋

The reason for this worldwide obsession for Brioche with Burgers is that its shelf life is so much longer due to all the fat and sugar in it. I can't stand it and am allergic to butter. It's very rare for me to be able to eat a proper bun with the burger. I work all over the world and I see this everywhere.

Men cannot change into women.

It's not 'should of' it's 'should have'.

Brussels sprouts has five 's's.

Without aging, though.

Imagine if they stepped off school grounds and into today's world!

They'd dessicate on impact with the outside world and collapse into a pile of intellectual dust.

He actually doesn't look like he's aged that much in 30 years, it's quite astonishing really. Clearly stays on site for his own safety.

Serving drinks with with lumps in should be a criminal offence. Those milkshakes with bits of whizzed up biscuit or chocolate bars floating around. Boba tea. Mogu mogu.

It makes me think of what it must be like to accidentally sup some gone off milk.

And tossed them onto a bowl of spaghetti with feta and left-over roast chicken.

Social activists and anything to do with trans, for or against, are the biggest bores of society, and have managed to out-do political zealots and vegetarians on the kill-me-now boredometer, which is really saying something.

They might be totally right about it all, and I almost certainly agree with them. But being right doesn't preclude them from being the height of tedium. They can never take an evening off, never joke around, rarely talk about anything else, just go on and on and on and on and on, whether appropriate or not, until people around them are practically in a coma. They SORELY need to be introduced to the phrase "time and place", imo.

😂Fabulous!

Oooh that sounds lovely! I would literally be turning up at yours with a fork if you were near me!

unless it's steel-cut oats. Regular oats are definitely awful.

I took an evening off as this was a funny thread. So not everyone with strong opinions on the matter expresses them everywhere. But I agree, some of us took this as a light hearted thread , and some didn't.

Also sprouts are only OK if sauted with bacon. But most things are improved by frying them with bacon.

Hop a flight! 🙂🇨🇦

eta even my 4y eats them!

It will be cold by the time I get there! 😭
