Closes in 7900 years? Wow.

#3

I wanted to give everyone enough time to consider their answeres

#4

never had a hello fresh but assume there is some actual cooking involved

#5

TL;DR

#6

Yeah, but it’s to a strict recipe and you’re provided with the exact amount of each ingredient.

Like Lego where you do the thing it came in rather than pouring the box on the floor and constructing dildos

TL;DC

6pm-10pm

Too many options! Did food go from cold to hot, and were you the one directly responsible? If so, then yes!

Bung a pizza in the oven - yes
Order a pizza from takeaway - no

#10

yeah thats still cooking in my book - I’ll never get one though. Dont see the point in something halfway between proper cooking and a ready meal

#11

Alright captain busy

#12

People just say I made tea, don’t they?

#13

Anything that involves:

  1. the person eating the meal
  2. applying heat to the foodstuff that changes the eating state of that foodstuff.
#14

Only the bottom three for me, Clive, on the basis that I would be disappointed if I was presented with any of the other options when promised a home-cooked meal.

#15

No? They’re really good, just too pricey I reckon

#16

na - I’d just say “Im gonna put a pizza in the oven”

I made/ cooked pizza can only be said if you’ve made it from scratch, or at a push used one of those pre made base things

#17

Who made the promise? This could have been a surprise

#18

my cooking skills are too advanced for such things - would be like putting the stabalisers back on my bike :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Though I grew up saying this, I haven’t heard anyone refer to “The Evevning Meal” as tea for a long time
