J'Accuse... I do not believe a sizeable minority on here when they say "I blah blah blah"

[Salmotrutta]

E.g. :-
"I cook from scratch" - I hate "from scratch". We used to say "everything was homemade".

And those of you who state "homemade potato wedges" ? ...yeah, I'm impressed. So that would be some potatoes shoved in the oven then?

Lol metallic - wouldnt suprise me if they go foraging for road kill animals...

Sooty that is worse, you're right. It's an implication that you have to follow the rules because you're in the house. Or risk a lecture on how x y z is so bad for you and the entire world and how could you do that and you'll go straight to hell.

i love the fact i sound like a sanctimommy when i talk about DS who has eating issues.

he ONLY drinks water, and never eats sweets and only ever has REAL butter on his toast don't you know

Absolutely Hypotenuse

And everyone on MN has to realise howright you are in this house and feel suitably inferior and chastised if they do things differently.

Ketchips were great. Love this post and oh so true!

A couple of years back I listened to a report on R4 (must have been Today programme) where a total arsehole of a reporter went to a food bank and asked every person at their wits' end, 'couldn't you just, y'know, make soup out of lentils?'. I don't know how they didn't rip his face off there and then. As if they were starving because they only knew how to heat up Arctic roll.

On the other hand, you lot are fucking funny and this thread has made me chuckle and crave warmed up sick crispy pancakes

I own a shotgun, I use it to shoot squirrels, because I hate them. I do not eat them though because they taste like shite. A worthy type gave me one at a barbeque once. I did not thank him.

I live in the country & foraging is shite, the only worthwhile forage is sloes for gin, this is only worthwhile as it's an excellent excuse to keep large jars full of gin in the house at all times.

After 15 years in the country I've come to the conclusion that people only live here to piss people off with their gorgeous, 'this is my route to work on FB shots', or to get pissed in peace.

I've lived here long enough. I have urban grime fantasies.

yy metallic, the no carb enthusiasts are funny

i was once sneered at for providing a packed lunch that was "all sugary carbs". DC had a wholemeal roll, a banana, and some sticks of carrot.

I very sorry everyone.

like I actually care

But I got diverted by real life.

Go me.

HoundoftheBaskervilles made me wheeze with laughter and now I've woken the dog. She'll be wanting her pate and toast fingers god bless us. It just never ends!

We have butter. We don't have margarine in thissssssss house.

Hound.

You are not doing it right.

I have to beat off (with a stick) people giving me rabbits, fish, vegetables etc. out here in The Country.

Also the threads describing Dc packed lunch. Enormous amounts of very worthy food, as though children had an hour and a half to linger and chat over it all.

Eg: 'Does this sound ok? Houmus (always), carrot sticks, a flask of homemade soup, pot of olives, some feta, breadsticks, cous cous and a bran muffin (treat)'. Kids just want to eat as quickly as possible and get out to the yard ffs!

And then there'll be the response: 'I'd drop the muffin - empty calories'.

Hound - squirrel wine might be the way forward! Lmao!

Is that a real Fag Sal, or is THAT A FUCKING VAPE?

Because fags'll kill ya. Dead.

The sticks for my soup were shot by badgers which are certified to be red squirrel friendly.

Then badgers, squirrels and sticks are boiled like a bastard for 24 hours on the aga before being turfed town the big and replaced with a knorr stock cube

And Hound... You better be shooting grey squirrels and not our native reds.

Down the bog.

I am not attempting haiku just typing badly

I have butter in the fridge - next to the lard!

I just beat people off with a stick, I think I either live in the wrong bit of countryside or am a misanthrope.

I think the former begat the latter.

There ain't no Reds round here, I shoot Greys BECAUSE of what they did to the Reds.

Hound - do I look like the type of person who smokes e-cigs?

Jeez. Get a grip.

I hate it when cook from scratch fuckers use it as a stick to beat cook from the freezer fuckers. I'm a bit of both and I'm alive and so is dd who is a picky fucker. Im a pissed fucker right now

Pomegranate
needs more protein, I'd swap the breadsticks (carbs eek) for some desiccated unicorn. I hope your soup has 101 yummy veggies crammed into it, and no stock, stock is salt, and salt is bad.
Olives and feta are great omits to count salt in those they make your child look middle class and all that.

How do we feel about people who knit shit?

I knitted socks once.

Fuckers.
