Nigella Lawson - another disappointment

[Kit19]

Any celebrity who thinks we should all just be kiiiiinddd

I can only tolerate avocados if they are covered in prawns in Marie Rose sauce or mixed with loads of garlic, chilli etc in guacamole.
I love capers, anchovies and olives though.

Wait til you hear my views on capers, anchovies and olives

And just what the hell is your problem with olives?

In ref to people who've quite rightly pointed out that many athletes have to choose to not do certain things in order to compete - I'm asthmatic but am not allowed an inhaler between rounds even though I could die purely because they have no way to know whether the drug will give me an advantage (plus no way to test whether what's inside the inhaler is what I say it is). If I want to fight, I do it on that basis. Millions of people are born with some quality or another that means they can't compete in certain sports, sport isn't a human right.

Olives are pretty rank in fairness.

Also seafood of any kind...

Glad I’m vegetarian!

Millions of people are born with some quality or another that means they can't compete in certain sports, sport isn't a human right.

A hundred times, yes!

Transwomen aren't even being banned from the sport they love. They're just not allowed to play in the sex class of their own choice.

My sympathy starts fading when they keep pushing and declaring it a breach of human rights, despite knowing it's not fair and safe.

@RedtreesRedtrees

Great idea *@GemmeFatale* the Trans Games.

Glad to have solved the problem for you

Duck egg or chicken

Ive never eaten a duck egg

And just what the hell is your problem with olives?

Is it because they are mank?

Its the lying I can’t take on these threads

I really can’t do it

Which is why I mainly lurk and only really rock up when food is mentioned

Safe ground and all that....

kinkyfink Exactly.

I just read an article where an academic argues that transwomen should not be compared to males even before medicalisation because they tend to starve themselves to resemble models so are so much weaker etc. The academic, a transwoman, seems to forget that anorexia also does not change a person’s sex. And there are plenty of mental health challenges and society challenges suffered by males that still doesn’t mean they should be considered female for sport.

@Quaagars

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs?

I know, I know - still no idea

What do you call a blind dinosaur

I have some avocados to hand. I could knock up some Nigella special avocado on toast to keep us all on track 😊 Taking one for the team, I hate the things.

Tell me how to make it! I love avacado!

I like the Le pain quotidian Avocado On toast

With lime salt and chia seeds and sunflower seeds 😀

Winesalot exactly, I was surprised that someone who looks like a very tall and lanky child was so much stronger than me - I can deadlift over twice my bodyweight but my strength is nothing on someone who has not even the full benefits of testosterone!

I don't think people truly understand this until they've trained in a combat sport with someone who doesn't even want to properly hurt you but can so easily do so. I already have to accept a higher level of risk because its still one of those sports where male coaches enjoy forcing women to put up with 'banter' and injuries to prove we can survive in a male dominated sport. We already work multiple times harder just to bloody be at the gym so I'm fucked if I'm going to accept any more sexist wankery.

I love avocado too! We had an avocado tree in our backyard when I was a child. They were huge, (but not as huge as this one I bought at Tesco the other day*), compared to the ones we (usually) get here, and always delicious, pale yellow in colour and always just the right ripeness. I eat them with salt and lemon.
*The clementine is for size comparison. It's nice and heavy and should be ripe in a day or two.

Avocado are like pears

Turn your back for a minute and the fuckers have gone through ripe into rot

It could just be me

Not at all surprising tbh.

I hate the 'I know a lovely transperson so you are a big meanie' type argument. As its just..pointless.

I know some lovely avocados some of you are big meanies.

Avocado are like pears

In my country they are actually called pears: avocado pears, pears for short.

KinkyFink too right!

Just bumping as I’ve started making feta and avocado sarnies and they’re great 👍

Youve just reminded me i need to boil an egg

Thanks delerium

Any time Rufus.
