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.

Me too. I love a crisp white wine with a chocolately dessert.

Surely this is merely personal opinion?

Anyway, I agree wholeheartedly with some on here, but alcohol and pudding don't mix?

Fuck orrff!

Sorry I was responding to the alcohol/pudding remark. Still hate bloody bisto.

English mustard is well shit though.

Tomatoes and cucumber may technically be fruit, but you're not going to stick them on top of a cheesecake or make a smoothie out of them, are you?

Grimma is right about the scrambled eggs and the English mustard.

Unbaked cheesecakes are infinitely superior to baked ones.

Buffet food should not be overwhelmingly brown and from Iceland.

Yes scrambled eggs should be made in a saucepan. but sometimes a frying pan will suffice when I cant face the dirty eggy saucepan aftermath

Ok I can see I'm in a minority about the alcohol/pudding thing.

However, Im right and you are all wrong.

So ner.

Scone, butter, jam, clotted cream.

Anyone who serves me a cream tea with no butter and says 'you don't need it - you have cream' gets VERY short shrift from me, let me tell you. Likewise anyone who thinks it's ok to give me whipped cream instead of clotted cream.

Honestly, there are some jackasses in this world.

Scone, clotted cream then jam

Cheddar cheese should always be vintage/mature. 'mellow' or 'mild' is a euphemism for flavourless rubbery shit.

People who do not parboil their roast potatoes are buffoons of the first order.

"People who do not parboil their roast potatoes are buffoons of the first order."

Do people actually do that?

It's OK three days before Christmas Eleanor (get out clause 22.12.12)

I don't understand how you get fluffy roast potatoes without parboiling first. Don't they just become tough old bullets?

Do what Mardy parboil them, or not parboil them?

Are you the buffoon Mardy? Are you?

There was someone on here once (sullying my Poncestastic Christmas thread I think) who said that she didn't parboil or even peel her roast potatoes, she just cut 'em up and slung 'em in. And she said they were the best roast potatoes ever.

LIAR.

Honey good on parsnips. Not tried on potatoes. I might stick a couple in with the parsnips on Christmas day and try it.

Sorry for the confusion. I can see that was ambiguous.

Of course I bloody parboil. And then drain and shake so they get nice and fluffy. I am no buffoon.

At least not in the potato department.

Phew.
