Anyone else unsure who to vote for?

Used to be a Labour supporter but they don't stand in my constituency (or when they do, they come 5th or 6th). It's between SNP, Lib Dem and Tories (in that order) here. I physically can't vote for the latter two, however I'm not enthusiastic to vote SNP, despite voting for them previously. Greens aren't standing either. I hate the idea of spoiling my ballot but I genuinely don't know what to do. Anyone else in the same situation (not necessarily stuck between the same parties)?

I believe Farmison might sell a tasty fennel sausage *@RedactedTaeFeck*.
Thank you, i might give them a try though from what I can see on the website they are sausages with fennel rather than Italian sausage (which has fennel in it). It's more of a mince if that makes sense? you sort of fry up chunks of it and add it to pasta. I guess I could deconstruct the sausages and see if gets close.

Ah, @RedactedTaeFeck. I see. I like to source my Italian sausage whilst on holiday in Tuscany - devastated to have been confined to barracks for a year...

If only we could just pop over and pick some up. When we stayed with family in the states they just bought it in the local supermarket, my boys were small at the time but couldn't get enough of it. Never been able to find it locally, Italian restaurants serve it in pasta so they either must import it or make their own.

I'll have an investigate!

I can't believe my city voted SNP after how NS treated us last year.
Anyone I speak to in person slates SNP.
Her first and only priority is independence even when we're still in her stupid 5 tier system.

England gave dates to look forward to.
NS is the rain on a parade.

Oohhh. Starry has an economics degree and yet is an Indy supporter. I have to ask then, does she agree with the GERS figures which show how much Scotland benefits economically from being part of the UK, or is she part of the crazy 84% of Indy supporters who think that the figures are all made up and that Scotland is a net contributor? Intruiged.

Don’t know where you are @Redacted My Italian in-laws put us onto Bella Fresca G52 and Pietros Deli G32. Can buy Italian sausage or the sausage meat in packs. Try adding an egg to the sausage meat make meatballs pop a Pearl mozzarella inside cook as usual with tomato sauce delish. Ah yes bubbles always like blowing them as a kid now like drinking them as an adult 😎

Thanks coquovan. I'm not in Glasgow but my musings last night identified a recipe so I've added the ingredients to my shop for next weekend and will try making my own and see where that gets me. Hopefully 😋

Redacted we discovered Pasta Evangelists during Lockdown, online delivery service.
There’s a nduga pasta sauce . ( as well as many other delicious pasta dishes)
I’m not a connoisseur but we thought it was great.
Total cheat cooking but sometimes that’s what’s needed for a bit of a treat and comfort food.

I'll look them up, thanks 😊

Having said that, DH is weight training so cutting down on carbs. Still, all the more for DS and I!

Carbs are my absolute favourite foods

Definitely worth a try then if my home made efforts don't cut the mustard! Thanks again.

@StarryEyeSurprise

Great a teacher ( working in Glasgow) is the first woman of colour to be elected . Future education minister? 🤞
If she is a good politician then i was her the best. If a token place-woman then no.
