"Do yourself a favour one of these days - grill/bbq a lamb chop marinated in rosemary and garlic. Once it's cooked, smear as much harissa sauce as you can handle and eat."

Mass report.

I haven't read the whole thread, but the OP and first page of comments made me smile. I only joined MN a few months ago so getting the hang of it all, anyway, about two weeks after I had my baby I posted a thread with a word missing, which made my post title read slightly differently to how I intended, however, to anyone with a brain cell it was obvious what I meant. I even apologised because I wasn't getting any sleep due to baby2, but still I had to have the post title changed because two people got offended. It was a thread about music. Hmm. Some people just love to be offended. Take that big self-righteous stick out of your bottom, there are more important things to be annoyed about like child abuse currently in the news.

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2012 11:12

You can make your own Harissa, ming. Here.

Thank you for that Scrambled. I managed to grow and dry my own chiles this summer so will try that.

Just hope nobody thinks I am discriminating against store bought chile peppers now and ends up reporting me...

mignonette · 07/11/2012 11:17

Grin at beer. Most excellent humour.

mignonette · 07/11/2012 11:20

I am getting deleted for calling Caitlin Moran, Caitlin Moron but never for calling David Cameron, David Ham/Scam/Sham eron , Boris as Horrid Johnson and GO being re christened as Gideon Oddborne. Childish but curiously satisfying pending a revolution.

Am reporting MNHQ for selective reporting and deleting Wink

Have you stepped back in time HoneyDragon?

mignonette · 07/11/2012 11:26

Veggie bacon is a crime against humanity Exit (which should be 'exit pursued by a giant deleting machine'BTW)

Speaking as one who cooks it for DH...

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2012 11:28

I like the name Gideon. Would be nice for DC2 when it deigns to make an appearance.

ExitPursuedByABrrrrrrr · 07/11/2012 11:31

And you know what - I really enjoyed it.

ExitPursuedByABrrrrrrr · 07/11/2012 11:33

Gideon is almost an anagram of deign.

mignonette · 07/11/2012 11:36

Don't mind the name Gideon. I taunt GO with it because he changed it to George in an attempt to try and mitigate against his background, Smile.

No offence to blameless Gideons everywhere

ScrambledSmegs · 07/11/2012 11:39

You don't need to be nice Grin. I'm at the stage of pregnancy where I can look at an advert for Beko kitchen appliances and think 'Ooh, nice name' Hmm

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 07/11/2012 11:40

what is harissa?

GrimmaTheNome · 07/11/2012 11:48

Chillies, mostly, ...but scrambled, don't you think Harissa would be a lovely name for a fiesty girl? Grin

The name Gideon only annoys me because of all his bibles filling up hotel drawer space. I know a very nice one IRL.

Absy · 07/11/2012 12:00

Chillies and garlic. It's amazing.

mignonette · 07/11/2012 12:02

Scrambled - felt a little heart warmth upon reading your last post.

grimma - Especially annoying if our taxes are paying for them Grin

Absy · 07/11/2012 12:02

I know two very, erm, off Gideon's in real life. I wouldn't do that to a kid.
