To think that people have the principles they can afford?

[Hullygully]

Do you have, or know anyone that does, principles that would absolutely not be ditched in the event of greater wealth?

What about if I make a sandwich really really brimful of hot spicy pickle and mash it in her face?

I am usually in bed with the Dalai Llama (so to speak).

But I am also an opinionated strident control freak.

I would never deny anyone an opinion based on their lifestyle, but it may make for some heated discussions.

I do like a good argument.

Piccallili - what the actual fuck is that all about?

Mrs Balls Chutney here.

That would work. It would get her in a right pickle.

Mrs Balls - YES Exit! Amazing. I bought some yesterday.

On a toasted sandwich with cheese - incredible
mixed with mayonnaise with chicken on a sandwich - incredible
on chips - incredible
with curry - incredible
on its own - incredible

pickle in the face could be a way forward

What is Mrs Balls chutney? Is it made by Yvette Cooper? If so you are a New Labourite, I'm guessing, Exit?

Mrs Balls chutney?

Anyway back to me and my difficulties...why is she so cross about it?

Hells yeah

Ha ha ha - definitely not Ms Cooper and I am definitely not New Labour.

Tis originally South African I believe as that is where I first encountered it. There are many different varieties but just the original available here.

Lush.

hot african rhino sounds a bit ROOD

Ok... we need more info. what has she said to indicate crossness?

It sounds yum, Exit. I will get some asap.:)

Oh Abs - Peck's Anchovette is on that link and it is not available in the UK.

Tell your 'friend' to join Mumsnet. That'd learn 'er.

oh don't worry scummy, I am even boring myself.

I am fighting the urge to post my email to her, after her rant, and her reply to me...

alright, less of the chutney talk. Apologies for derailing ANOTHEr thread with food chat.

Apparently women think about food as much as men think about sex.

Nothing wrong with tangents and byways, absy, we'd all wither and die without them.

my parents were socialists and became quite well off, well enough to pay for private education, and they would have rather set fire to their pubes in a local branch of the wimpy than send us to private school.

Wha'? No pecks? I used to love that stuff as a kid,w ith lots of butter. It must be, it MUST

i'll have a look at the SA shops I know, and get back to you.

Ooo look ^^ fresh blood the others will be so pleased, they have done sterling work and kept going for hours.

Why the Wimpey?

post it post it post it

There's an email???

Salivating here at the prospect.

Didn't realise it had reached the written word stage.

Pleeease - just juicy snippets.

No Abs Pecks refused to kowtow to European legislation demanding a change in the recipe so no longer available in the UK
