Does stuff grown on a London rooftop still have a faint taste of exhaust fumes?

PotterHead1985 · 03/03/2026 20:08

Agreed.

Dear god the poor buggers have to pinbone a fish in 20 min

Again, it seems way too hard to do in twenty minutes when you've never cooked it before. Designed to flummox.

I've always thought that about those rooftop beehives people have in cities.

Nosy, where are you?

littlbrowndog · 03/03/2026 20:12

This is a hard task. Challenge for the chefs

EsmaCannonball · 03/03/2026 20:12

Does Marcus have really hairy arms or, in true chef tradition, has he had thick, lustrous hair tattooed onto his arms?

bungobungobungo · 03/03/2026 20:12

If she’s made hollandaise before surely she knows how to do it. It’s a classic sauce.

I can confirm that honey from hives by an airfield has a flavour of aviation fuel, so you’re very probably right

Hairy as hell. His hairs on his arms you could plait

South County Durham.

That fish is going to be raw.

littlbrowndog · 03/03/2026 20:14

I do like a hairy man though

ilovesooty · 03/03/2026 20:14

She looks as though she's going to cry.

There's a lot of them these days

ilovesooty · 03/03/2026 20:15

Intimate events sounds sleazy.

There are more rich feckers about than we realise!

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 03/03/2026 20:16

All these private chefs! Please do t say intimate events, it brings keys in a fishbowl to mind.

littlbrowndog · 03/03/2026 20:16
