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.

Totally agree with milk and fruit/jelly.

Jelly and ice cream is an abomination.

Bacon sandwiches and English breakfasts should have white bread and brown sauce. Not ketchup. Ketchup is for hamburgers and fish fingers only.

Instant coffee is only for plumbers and my mother.

People who give tradesmen instant coffee instead of ground have only themselves to blame if they get shoddy workmanship.

you don't need to parboil - just heat the oil with rosemary and sage. then throw and toss.
(they're not fluffy, but they're certainly not hard and horrid)

i'm veggie so i think jelly and ice cream is horrid too.

i like okra though

and there should be no such thing as (rubbery) scramble egg - it should be cheesy egg.

KNIVES, FORKS, SPOONS.
Roast dinners may comprise: mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, roast veg (of any type as suits you), stuffing, Yorkshire puddings, boiled/steamed veg (of any type that suits you), mushrooms, meat or meat substitute (of any type that suits you), gravy and any other type that suits you.

Mushrooms have NO place in a roast dinner!

no, i won that thread, it's spoons forks knives.

that's historical MN fact

and yes, mushrooms are gooood on a roast dinner - if my dad heard you talking like that, he would get very annoyed at you.
he may even wag his finger.

I saw no such thread. And you are wrong!

i'm soooo not - advanced search ratherbeonthepiste and the said cutlery items.

i won.
the deal was the last person to post won the argument, and that was me

jeffing typing

Mushrooms have NO place in a roast dinner
they are permissible in some stuffing recipes

they are permissible under the rules I laid out above - "any types that suit you"

Milk jellies are fine. If you're medieval. Preferably gilded and flavoured with rosewater.

'Eggs should be sieved before scrambling.'
WHAT?!?

My name is Lady Clarice and I like pineapple on pizza. So sue me.

And it's forks, knives, spoons.

Spoons, forks, knives. Clearly. Anything else is just wrong.

Scone, jam, cream if using whipped double cream. Butter may be used before jam if someone has had the Godawful cheek to serve you a dry scone and there is no potted plant/ handy dog in which to dispose of it. Otherwise scone, clotted cream, jam. It's about density layering, y'know.

Tea, milk, sugar. Milk and sugar are supposed to be to taste. How can you tell what measure of accompaniment you require if you haven't poured the tea in first?

Gehrkins should be banned as they have no rightful claim to the term 'foodstuff'.

Likewise bread sauce.

And Parma Violets, for that matter.

Jelly chopped up with evaporated milk is fine on occasion though.

and yoghurt should only ever be fruit flavoured and never ever chocolate or toffee. The chocolate/toffee makes the yoghurt taste sour. Yuck

Gherkins have their place ie in tartare sauce or in a decent burger

Biscuits should be dunked not crunched. A crunched biscuit is an unfulfilled biscuit.

the only yoghurt i can stomach is muller corners. but not the fruit ones.

yoghurt should only ever be fruit flavoured

unless its tzatziki/raita. Or plain greek of course

A friends elderly Aunt once served avocado pear as part of a fruit salad .

Pot noodles are the work of the devil and should never be seen in any decent woman's kitchen

Chocolate flavour yoghurt still feels quite foreign and exciting to me.

I once gave a boyfriend his first avocado pear. He said 'I thought it was going to be fruit, it's like eating lard.'

A meat pie is not to be eaten with cutlery. Ever. It is to have a drenching of tomato sauce, and eaten quickly. If second degree burns to the mouth and hands are not sustained, the pie is not hot enough.
To consider using cutlery at all is unaustralian.

Turkey 'ham' and 'bacon' are abominations. As is any kind of cold meat with a bear face or in the shape of a train.
Bacon has to be smoked
Low fat anything should be exterminated
Tinned meatballs are the work of the devil
