I swear I remember someone coming round and checking. I've always had my fork in the right hand, logically I'm using my stronger hand to hold down the food while cutting it with my left, and why would I want to lift my food to my mouth with my weaker hand? As a leftie I sort of agree, but I was broken at a young age, so I can see the logic of the right wingers... It's to do with the serations on the knife normally being on the side that would aid cutting when held in the right hand. Plus if you were sat at a round table, being left handed would result in banging arms with fellow diners when cutting your food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 2 foods I find totally bland are baked beans and tinned tomato soup and I'm constantly amazed people rate them so highly. I think there is a nostaglia factor that remains from people eating them as children, that is also passed down generations ie parents rave to children about them, who in turn, do the same. They are also dead easy to 'cook' which may also remind people of their first meals away from parents and their freedom. However, I'm also the opposite of a super-taster and I much prefer strong and rich tastes and flavours to most people I know. Do beans/tomato soup etc provide super tasters with a touch of the exotic, or do plenty of you love them as well as much stronger flavours? I'm not trying to come across as some sort of foodie here, or the twit who always orders the hottest curry. If anything, my dislike of baked beans is due to a poor sense of taste/smell. Does anyone else lick the English mustard off a knife, but actually like baked beans too? And as for @Angry Ram s point about beans go with anything. I argue that beans go with nothing. On toast is bearable. Anything else is polluted by that orange watery semen swimming around the plate. The biggest offence is always when a beautiful female egg is invaded by said substance. Hashtag me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must disagree re the beans on a full English mind, they’re an integral part of one for me as is black pudding. Aw man, I really fancy one right now.

Hemp, Anthony and Hurst were just women paid a low salary to get abused by schoolkids. Whilst I fundamentaly disagree to their baked beans facism, I understand they were just doing a job to feed their families. Don't blame them, blame the lack of international cusine back in the day!

This is the thing, the 'sauce' is nothing but suboptimal jizz, an inferior and artificial assault on the mouth which has no business contaminating the perfection of eggs, bacon or black pudding.

Anthony was the deputy head, and a liver fetishist of the worst stripe; her tyranny was both lucrative and sadistic. Routine humiliation was her daily bread, and she also taught something called 'verbal reasoning'. Irredeemable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pish in my case. It was a small village school and nobody got abused by the kids. To me it felt worse than any subsequent bullying I encountered in later years and I actually dreaded meal times and it did put me off veg for life. Not wanting to get political but low pay does not excuse abuse and bullying - which is what it was. At least I'm fairly confident that they wouldn't get away with it now.
