to think myself better than Nigella?

[purpleturtle]

I have used her recipe for aromatic lamb meatballs, which she reckons makes about 75. Apparently, she often gets 78, but has never made 80.

Well, I doubled the quantity and made 183.

Am I better than Nigella?

Well, if you count being stingy with the size of your meatball then yes

but are you fatter than Nigella?

You made 183 meatballs?

Good lord woman, is Hagrid coming to supper?

I don't think I'm fatter than Nigella.

She says make them 'toytown small'. I think my toytown must be smaller than hers.

Hagrid isn't coming. But it's such a faff, I thought I'd make loads and then I can freeze them and pull them out as needed.

There'll be 9 of us, I think, for the meal I've made them for, but I don't intend to use them all at once.

They sound very nice! Which book is the recipe in? Can you put it on here?

toytown small eh? Lego or playmobile - there's quite a difference

It's in Feast, portofino.

"Toytown small".

Oh, she does get on my tits, that woman.

I find myself red faced and shaking, shouting "what the fuck are you on about??" whenever I attempt any of her recipes, except for her brownie one, which is amazing.

Toytown small. Ffs.

And here

YANBU - any MNer is better than Nigella.

Of course you're better than Nigella. Mind you, a slap in the face with a wet fish is better than Nigella...

notanumber that just made me laugh out loud ds thinks I have gone crazy.

You wil only be better than Mrs Seductive Licky Spoon herself if you sneak down in the night wearing a black silk dressing gown and secretly gorge on all 183 meatballs from the fridge.

Without that I'm afraid you are a poor imitation

Ooh thank you for the recipe. Printing it now! I can tell you now that i will not be attempting to beat your record. I will make big fat ones instead.
