This trans journalist had a chance encounter with a supporter of WPUK. Was this one of you lot?

Really thoughtful article - division into two camps without engaging with each other is not the answer.

tobee

Is that actually a spanish breakfast or is it just what you fancy eating now

tobee · 11/09/2018 21:08

Apparently it is a Spanish breakfast. But I do also fancy that right now. Especially the in Spain bit.

But porridge, chocolate and peanut butter as a combination is lodged in my brain right now. Sounds amazing.

Wilhemenawonka · 11/09/2018 21:13

Many many breakfast ideas

DD's much borrowed library book as a child was some Dorling Kindersley one called Children of the World or some such and there were great photos and descriptions of breakfast in there.

I know the thread has moved on but wow, that is not a good or thoughtful article at all.

Just don’t recognise the independent (or the guardian) anymore. WTF.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 21:39

Melanippe I'm reading without my glasses and I thought you said you had rotting dhal for breakfast. Which I thought was probably pushing the boundaries of good taste at any time of day, let alone breakfast.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 21:41

Dont the Chinese have something called 100 year old egg

Its not actually 100 years old...but it tastes like it is

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 21:48

I have tasted what seemed like 100 year old egg for breakfast before now.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 21:49

Bet WBH seems more appealing now Wink

Melanippe · 11/09/2018 22:09

Floral given that quite often someone nearby would be eating durian, rotting dhal wouldn't be far off the mark!

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 22:10

I was on a small island off fiji for 3 days

Vegetarian at the time and had been very very ill so had very little appetite

Got there for lunch and my lunch was two sweet potatos and cabbage boiled in milk...a quarter

Ok ate what i could...looked forward to dinner

Dinner arrived...two sweet potato and a quarter of cabbage boiled in milk

Didnt eat much...hopefully eggs or something for breakfast

Breakfast...two sweet potato and a quarter of a boiled cabbage

I pretty much stopped eating and for the next two days i swear to god they served my up the same two fucking potatos for every single meal

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 22:12

I am rethinking my late night snacks as I type. Feel quite queasy now.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 22:14

Mind you, the cabbage does put me in mind that daft nonsense about cabbages being secretly covered in plastic on YouTube the other week. Because they smelled funny when the person lit them with a match...

NothingOnTellyAgain · 11/09/2018 22:22

I am totally flummoxed by OP's bafflement over lesbians getting pregnant before official donor programs were invented.

Semen is hardly a substance in short supply around the world. And generally the method of introducing the semen where it needs to get is straightforward enough not to need a high trained medical team :D

The idea that human reproduction is very complex and you can't tell who has what bits and what goes where and how you make babies seems to have got a very strong toehold Confused

Batteriesallgone · 11/09/2018 22:45

Although have you seen all the articles recently about falling sperm rates? Apparently supply is reducing! And this is apparently very concerning! Even though surely it’s not actually anywhere close to being a risk to human populations Confused

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 23:29

Its just the plain madera type they do...any excuse not to prepare anything

But brazilian might be good

I've had some lovely breakfast cakes in Brazil and often they were specially made the night before. Fruit flavoured (like passion fruit or pineapple) sponge.

Fallingirl · 11/09/2018 23:30

I think it’s incredibly problematic that you lot don’t seem to be taking this thread seriously. Clearly the increasingly widespread breakfasts consisting of lukewarm weetabix and mushy bananas are causing sperm rates to plummet.

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 23:37

Is cabbage boiled in milk pleasant, Rufus?

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 23:41

Don't bananas have potassium which is good for sperm?
