Has there ever been a food pedanrty thread in here before?

[StNiChaolas]

Inspired by Morrison's claim that vegetarians should spice up their Christmas dinner with a Naice 3 Fish Roast from their Fishminger.

Tomatoes and cucumber arre fruit.

Roobarb is a dog.

Okra is bleurgh.

You must eat a doughnut without lickling your lips.

Aspargus and cutlery are not friends.

Marathons were far superior to Snickers.

Sherry trifle, ok.

But tiramisu is LUFFLY.

Just reread the OP. LMAO at "fishminger". Not sure if that is a Chaos typo or not.

Have they not shooed you out of Pedants' Corner yet Chaos?

Totally agree about scrambled eggs. DH tried to make them in a frying pan the other day. WTF?

LOL Audrina, that was a attempt to make an omelette

Tomatoes MUST NOT go in the fridge.
Chocolate should not go in the fridge either.

Garlic cloves must be either very finely chopped and gently fried, or cooked slowly (whole) for a long time till soft and sweet. Not thrown in large chunks into a pasta sauce where it does no more than warm slightly, then eaten by the unwary partner of said 'experimental chef'.

If you're scrambling eggs for one person, the best thing is a nonstick omelette pan. What's the point of a quick easy lunch if you've got an eggy saucepan to clean?

English mustard is an abomination.
English mustard powder however is a good addition to cheesy recipes (scones, sauce, Welsh rarebit...).

Cheese should not have fruit in it.

Goes without saying. If you want fruit with cheese, have fruit with cheese or some good* chutney.

*either homemade or from a farmer's market where you can try it before buying.

OK I'll concede you the mustard powder (as long as it's in recipes) Grimma

When pouring a cup of tea from a teapot (loose leaf of course), the milk goes in first.

Scone, butter, strawberry jam, and clotted cream last.

Knives, forks, spoons.

Scone, cream, jam.

Spoons, forks, knives.

Rolos and cheesenonion crisps are supposed to be eaten in the same mouthful.

ooo i love this thread.

To the makers of Great British Bake Off. It is NOT creme patisserie. It is creme patissiere. A patisserie is where creme patissiere is sold

Espresso. That is all.

Oh, yus, GBBO - it is a FRIFFING Vitoria Sandwich, not a sponge, you doilies.

Now you will all think that a Helmeted Cock is smutty, non, but it is in fact a mediaevel recipe

Welsh rarebit.

yy chocolate should never go in the fridge (when will DH learn this )
It should also never contain less than 70% cocoa and should not be full of unnecessary sugar and dairy, otherwise it isn't chocolate it is confectionary.

A saucepan for scrambled eggs? What? Why not a frying pan?

Oh yes!

A food pedantry thread sounds right up my street. I have been ALL OVER a cutlery pedantry thread this week, so it's time to diversify. Hang on, let me read the fred. Back in a mo, once I've got the hang of it and warmed to my theme.

Beofre I read the thread, are we doing things like 'whoever invented the chicken tikka pizza should be taken out and shot' - that kind of thing?

warmed to my theme

I'm sure that should be thoroughly heated until piping hot

Right, fundamentally disagree about the alcohol/pudding thing......

YY to Battlefront. Yorkshire pud does not belong in the Christmas dinner menu.

I am however, a fan of Bisto. Only the cornflour- based Bisto powder (mixed with the meat juices as an easier alternative to flour) but on no account should just gravy granules and water be used with a decent roast.
