...To loathe the term 'pan fried'?

[flaminannoying]

What the feck do you use to fry something if not a pan? I don't feel the need to tell people that my bread this morning was 'toaster toasted'.

Feel free to tell me if there are things other than pans one can use for frying.

Fleur, don't be unreasonable. Perhaps they mean somebody used their hands to cut the sandwich? Or used their cut hands to handle it? Or used the sandwich to cut their hands?

Mmm, chips from a deep fat fryer.

In our local twatrose the recent refit has resulted in the small aisle with lentils etc being labelled "wholesome foods". I can only assume that this means that all the other foods in the entire supermarket are unwholesome.

pmsl at whole- some?- foods

we have a sainsburys aisle labelled 'adult cereals'

ping- is that as opposed to those that were harvested as babies? Green wheat cereal (aka: grass). Or flowers...

I often buy buttermilk from the local polish shop and it has instructions in English

'For Milk grip knob firmly in hand and twist to the left'

Seriously. I cry with laughter every time.

Also, there's a 'gastropub' near us that has 'home cooked chips' on the menu. Not homemade, they are clearly frozen. So whose home do they cook them in?

oww !

i really want to suggest to the manager that the adult cereals should have opaque covers on as obviously theirof tantilising displays of wheaty goodness could offend some... or perhaps they could go to a higher shelf

are the adult cereals on a suitably high shelf though ?

oh sorry ping x posts !

PMSL at 'adult cereals' and 'for milk twist knob'.

Am thinking that
a) they should be put on the same aisle at the supermarket and

b) am far too juvenile.

My pet hate is chefs (and yes, Gary Rhodes, I mean you, among others) who talk about 'plating' the food. Let's just plate up the egg and chips.

Can't remember which supermarket it is near me (Sainsburys perchance?) that has the ready meals aisle signed 'Meal Solutions'.

Makes me think Soylent Green rather than microwave lasagne.

Gary Rhodes also says 'this eats very well (with).....' which makes me writhe with anger. Another cheffy thing is 'I'm just roasting this off' or 'cooking this off'. Eh? DH & I amuse ourselves by having running commentary along these lines when we're cooking (because we're so grown-up).

Oh and absolutely PMSL @ 'Adult Cereals', in the shape of (milk) knobs perhaps? Do they have to put those little nipple cover stars on the boxes?

Phnar phnarrrr...

Keep imagining men furtively lurking in the adult cereals aisle, looking puzzled as they turn the boxes over........

Hilarious.Te x rated Frosties, the lumpy dry smoothies, the surprisingly non carcinogenic Quorn.

Brill.

When we lived in the arse end of Kurdistan and ate every day in a little shack in which blokes earning a pittance sweating over the bread oven, we would amuse ourselves by imagining it transported lock stock and barrel to Islington.

Hilarious.

I keep on seeing "pal friend" when I see this thread title!

YABU, but no doubt the thread has moved on

As we are on the subject of things being fried, can someone tell me what 'Chicken Fried' is? - I have seen it on some American programmes. e.g 'Chicken Fried Steak' Is the food made by a man in a chicken suit, or is there chicken fried with the steak or what?

oh God - 'frying off' and plating !! and things that say 'soft eating' as if people have only gums

I don't know why but I hate the word 'Veg'. What's wrong with vegetables?

badass- Breaded, I believe, in the same manner as southern fried chicken. Does sound stupid, definitely. resolutely avoided it during our time in the US.

Veggie gets my goat too

mmm, chicken-fried goat and veggies. Delish, plate it up for me now...
