Gee SCREAMER !! Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 7 hours ago, DarkFruitsRam7 said: I can accept someone disliking mushy peas. They’re so so to me, only particularly nice when mixed with ketchup. Chips and gravy were a delicacy I only began to appreciate during my first year at uni. Fried chicken, peri chips and gravy from Allen’s in Fallowfield at 3am after a night out while watching something on Netflix in my room was just pure bliss (in lieu of a successful night on the pull). As for not having gravy on roasties...that’s just plain weird. And for your information, I’m about to cook a stir fry! Even if it is from an Uncle Ben’s jar. Netflix- you youngsters are lucky nowadays - when I used to come in blotto at 3 in the morning the only thing on was prisoner cell block H . Never even had channel 5. Can't beat a pizza after a beery night. One Saturday about 26-27 years ago, I'd spent 30 minutes waiting for one amongst the normal human wreckage and fights you got up that end of town in the small hours. Some car pulls up just of Burton road with four very attractive girls from Birmingham in it . Window comes down and they ask if they can have a couple of slices as they've been to Progress and are starving. Being a gentleman, I shove the box in the window and within seconds of it leaving my hand there off down the A38 leaving me with an old crust and a face like a bulldog licking piss of a nettle?

Jourdan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 My rule with food is that whatever it is, it has to enhance what you are eating. Peas and sweetcorn are both awful in that sense. Who looks forward to peas or sweetcorn being on your plate? They just feel so misplaced. How do you ruin egg fried rice from the Chinese? Add peas. How do you ruin a good pub lunch? Add peas. How do you ruin a nice pizza? Add sweetcorn. When it comes to vegetables, aubergine is king, and mushrooms, carrots, onions, peppers, courgettes and parsnips are the king’s men.

I actually like sweetcorn but does it really have any nutritional value? At the risk of sounding crude it turns my poo into a sun tanned Mr Blobby as it doesn't seem to break down my body. It should be marketed as a diet food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubergine, what a crap vegetable. Who the duck looks forward to eating aubergine? The first result on the Google search page for 'aubergine flavour' sums it up about right. 'Their flavour is exceptionally mild, like mulch and damp J-cloth; its cooked flesh disintegrates into slimy mush or takes on a leathery sogginess. Its skin has no special perfume, neither does it have an appealing crispness or offer much else of gastronomic note.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 The tension is really mounting in the great pea debate! A single vote between the two front runners could decide the outcome. Desperate for a pea or what! All we are saying is Give peas a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
