Mumsnet could do better (part trois)

[EllaDisenchanted]

Hello all, decompression thread 3️⃣

Aaand I just lost my appetite.

the more everyone is saying brie and chocolate the less tempting it gets 😅

That's because you've been scarred by your mouldy brie experience. Give yourself time to heal, then you will join us...

Ottolenghi has a recipe for making preserved lemons in the Jerusalem cookbook. It's on my one day to try to make list (i.e. probably never).

If you want some inspiration, I was listening to Kitchen Cabinet the other day and there were suggestions about what to do with a surfeit of preserved lemons. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0020h6r www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0020h6r]] it's at 14:25. Can you listen to iPlayer???

I'd switch the Brie for cheddar and the chocolate for baked beans, personally...

I'll wait on pics first

I can't listen no 😫 I can't watch it either. I miss interior design masters 😭
I could go for a good baked beans and cheddar grilled sarnie. They don't really do tinned baked beans in tomato sauce here either.

@EllaDisenchanted you should be able to listen to BBC sounds regardless od where you are geographically.

I’m planning on doing something, not sure what yet, with my lemons over the weekend but I’ve just spent the morning making pickles - cucumbers, mixed vegetables and chilli peppers (I remembered to put on gloves first!)

Preserved lemons go very well in the sort of biscuits where you chill the dough in long rolls in the fridge and then slice it up.
Chop the lemons small and mix them in.

(I once had a jar of the things to use up.)

Hmm. Eating the toasty now and I'm not a fan. Brie should be eaten cold, not melted. I've just wasted brie. It's not a great start to the weekend, being heartbroken about wasting good cheese.

The chocolate reminds me of a thing from my childhood - we had "sandwich chocolate" which were veeeeery thin bread-slice sized pieces of chocolate that you'd put on freshly toasted bread and just watch it melt. The chocolate I approve of.

So I'm sorry @79Helene , this was not a winner in my eyes! I'll try not to hold it against you moving forward but I make no promises.

Look forward to hearing others' opinions!

But also, just came across this!

All this food talk has piqued my interest! 🤣

Does anyone know if the foods you're talking about is silent reflux friendly? I would like to visit Israel at some point, so kinda need to know.

In general, I have to eat foods high in protein and low in fat as well as avoid acid unless I can neutralise it and preservatives which is a big no-no. Pretty much means I have to find organic foods or make from scratch.

Oh no I've ruined your weekend already and it's only Friday! 😭

Brie should be eaten cold, not melted
Genuinely thinking of reporting this post for breaking my talk guidelines.
Next you'll be telling me you don't like baked camembert.

Brie should be eaten cold
I would say ideally, room temp.

I hope you can salvage the rest of the weekend and I'll now flounce off for a while until you can forgive me 😂

Shocking, isn't it?
Melted brie is a thing of wonder.

I'm sorry for breaking your talk guidelines 😂😂😂😂

And yes, I agree with room temperature, rather than cold, being ideal - I was just so distraught at the whole melted brie experience that I couldn't find it in me to take the time to find the correct words. I was in severe distress.

Hopefully others will still like it though! There's a saying in my home country: Preference is like a bum - everyone has one. Except in my language it rhymes and therefore sounds way better and less insane 😂

Alright, no need to gang up on me!

I stand by what I said though - Brie is better not melted.

Baked Camembert, however, is the only reason I occasionally agree to spend Christmas in the UK instead of going back home to my family. It's a thing of wonder!

You might struggle in Israel 🙈 They don't shy away from using lots of oil. It makes everything taste better!

melted brie is better than cold brie.

Exactement!

I was in severe distress.

I'm sorry @Humdingerydoo

What absolute nonsense. You don't just get to decide brie is better melted! I realise it's currently 3 - 1 but that doesn't make you right! It just means you've all succumbed to melted brie propaganda

signing off for Shabbat in a couple of hours - can I trust you lot to behave?! Or do I need to get nanny Corbyn to babysit??

😂😂 I have a feeling there will be a new thread for you to join motze Shabbat @EllaDisenchanted ! Unless these guys decide to see sense, of course.

There really is a gif for every occasion.

edit: I had the guilt about the sweary gif so tried to edit remove it but you can’t edit remove a gif apologies 😬😂

I propose it’s named : mumsnet could do better (iv): cheese wars, chickens, and recipes
