is your stock hot on the stove?
You don’t just do boiling water and the stock pot in a jar on the side??

Stock pots are far better for risottos

Too true. Butter chicken one is my fave

Got admonished by the GF the other day for using jar jalepenos instead of fresh ones

#84

but jar jalepenos are there own thing - like a pickled chili. Or were you chopping them up and frying them, as that would be weird?

Yeah it’s hot on the stove…I thought cubes worked better for this as they’re more concentrated.

Every single jar of green pesto i’ve ever tasted has been very nice, stop being babies. Most of them are on a par with the authentic Genovese versions i’ve tried in Italy. Absolutely stupid thing to say, but then maybe that was the point.

DOLMIO MAN: When is a your Dolmio day?

ROSCOE: Novemeber the 30th 2042

MARLON: Haven’t we done this before, Roscoe?

ROSCOE: Not actually sure. It rings a bell but who cares there’s no such thing as an original thought nowadays anyway

MARLON: I think that saying is too often used an excuse for just not doing anything new or interesting with one’s interesting. I feel like the phrase is more an expression of the post-structuralist ideas of how because our thoughts are mediated or whatnot through language - which are of course consensus frameworks of interpretation and understanding developed over a culture’s entire life - one cannot have a thought that is truly his or her own. We are always channelling the voices of the past, no matter how individual and singular our expression may be. So let’s be cracking on with new and exciting adventures instead of being complicit in the very mindset of wilful stasis that is dooming our societies

ROSCOE: Very out of character for you Marlon

MARLON: First you’re saying “there’s no such thing as an original thought” and now you’re saying a character is acting out of character. You are SUCH an annoying media-saturated internet commenter in this play, Roscoe. You’ll be describing things as “fandoms” next AS IF A WORK OF ART IS DEFINED BY YOUR CONSUMPTION OF IT YOU ENTITLED NARCISSIST DOTARD

ROSCOE: Getting a lot of just random stuff of your chest, none of which really even is that important or well-thought out, aren’t we, M-B?

MARLON: Even as the mouthpiece for these opinions, I have to agree with you, Roscoe.

ROSCOE: You’ve got emails you need to send out, ffs

I have seen jars of that brand in a tesco ‘world foods’ aisle before, though granted this was one of the biggest tesco stores so perhaps a more normal sized one might have less stock variety…

I always have a jar of minced ginger in the fridge. Always have garlic, usually have chillies and they’re no bother to prepare - cba doing my own ginger though.

#93

Had one of these for the first time in years a couple of weeks back. Proper guilty pleasure in terms of food.

They’re like £2.50 these days though, which is a bit steep.

EXCITING GINGER TIP:

freeze it. Then it grates much better, as well as keeping.

I had a steak and kidney one, it smelled of piss. The pastry is quite nice in an odd way, it is like a flabby lump underneath but balloons on top, nice mix of textures. The “filling” was a dribble of gravy and some scraps of meat though, pretty pitiful.
