Aibu to point out that 'Mumsnet' is currently trending on Twitter/X because a labour MP has (rather comically) reported it to the police?

Dawn Butler has reported Mumsnet as a whole to the police, for talking to each other and Having Views she does not like.
Mumsnet is currently trending on Twitter.
What rebels we are, having views.

I don't exactly know what one is either. This is my first time making anything that calls for a "flan tin" and I am apprehensive.

I've got as far as buying the ingredients and staring at them.

Yes.
Because you’re a transphobe.

Could we train prison rats to bear messages to the outside world? We'd have to pay them in bits of frittata or crustless quiche. Oooh, what about installing ratcam to document any mistreatment of prison officers trying to escape being overenthusiastically overfed by happy criminal mumsnetters.

New idea!

Can I just buy a fruit cake and stick the file in there?

You'd have to drill a hole in it first, Pots. Or, like, eat a hole.

Now I feel like I've been accidentally rude.

With all these flans, frittatas, omelettes, crustless quiches, mumsnet chilli, mumsnet chicken and mumsnet massive salads weighing us down, there'll be no chance of any of us going on hunger strikes a la suffragettes! One less thing for the MET to worry about, damn it!

Your punishment for being rude is to...

make a fruit cake, with a hidden file in it!

Psh, I think I just successfully delegated!

I hope she didn't presume the sexual orientation of these giraffes without first confirming their preferences. They could be bi or pansexual, and this is before we even consider each giraffes gender identity.

Ugh she's a bigot, I'm reporting to the Met.

Any chance of a Violet Crumble? I'm sure chocolate is brilliant for trading wherever we end up.

Yeah! No! I mean she sounds like me, and looks like me, but no definitely isn't me officer! I was elsewhere at the time of the incident! 😁 honest!

To clarify... That is really not me in the photo! I was referring to the beetle imposter on the other thread that is most definitely not in the slightest bit me!

@switcher
A flan is a crusted crustless quiche. A crustless quiche is a crustless flan. Except a quiche must have eggs in it, otherwise it is an flan. A quiche has eggs and cream eggs in it, and a crust. So a crustless quiche is a quiche without a crust. The filling of a quiche is an omelette with eggs and cream in it. Which is not an omelette, because omelettes don't have cream in them. Fritattas and such are foreign omelettes, as opposed to omelettes, which are French.

See a flan to me is the 80s dinner party version with a sponge base and a filling of satsuma segments and orange jelly…

Yes I was going to say that! A British flan has a sponge base and tinned fruit and jelly. A Spanish flan is like a crème caramel.

It's just a pie without a lid, it'll be fine.

The difference between tortilla and fritatta, however, has always eluded me. I believe one always contains potato, and the other sometimes contains potato (can never remember which is which). Which leaves me at a loss as to how to distiguish a sometimes one that this time does, from an always one.

More topically, I have all the Pat Ried and Airey Neave Colditz books, so am happy to kick off an escape committee. Although it sounds as if we may have to concentrate on getting people in rather than out - at least until mid January.

I am old enough that all quiches were flans in my young day. But things have changed. Remember, Real Men Don't Like Quiche?

Tortilla has the potato.

Have you ever been to Colditz? Went quite some years ago, and it was absolutely fascinating. Very hard to find, though, as I recall.

DP begs to differ. We love a quiche chez Eresh.

Thank god orange jumpsuits are roomy

Will the secret pizza stash include anchovies?

Don’t want to offend anyone by only having egg-based mains now, we’ll need some swimmers for ‘balance’ 🤣

@BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn a tortilla always contains potato (and nothing else according to Spanish friends: no onion, no garlic, no herbs). Whereas a frittata can have anything in it that you fancy. I’m partial to roasted courgette, tomato and feta with a good sprinkling of thyme.

Oops too late did I notice that my post had invented the Cream Egg quiche - in fact defined a quiche as having cream eggs in Only the spelling is wrong, but still...
