I used to not even be able to stand the smell of any asian food, especially chinese.

Now I cannot get enough.

Oh man, I told the bf about the haggis toastie and how I was concerned he might think it was a bit excessive if I were to suddenly make it. He said i was wrong to think this. I said I’d wait till we had a big night out and then I would go full haggis toastie the next morning to absorb any hangover.

What have you done.

Remind me what’s in it again please.

Certainly! I’ll give you the cod*-recipe if you like, I’ve observed the lads make it so often.

  • Haggis
  • Smoked bacon
  • Cheddar
  • Caramelised red onion chutney
  • Mustard
  • Rocket
  1. Pre-fry some bacon and haggis and keep it to the side.
  2. Spread some mustard on 2 slices of crusty brown bread, thickly cut
  3. Spread caramelised red onion chutney on top of that.
  4. Pop in the haggis, bacon, grated cheddar and rocket
  5. Fry on both sides but make sure you’ve got something heavy on the sangas to weigh them down so the cheese melts.
  6. When both sides are done, fry the ends of the toastie in a pan for 10 seconds and serve.

I tell you what is fucking rang: caramelised onion on a pizza. Keep trying it, keep remembering it is rang.

Christ. As a base you mean? Or as a topping?

#71

As a topping. What the fuck are you on about? You can’t make a base from caramelised onion.

Someone strike all his posts from the record.

Ooh hot drinks!

Didn’t really like or drink tea until I was 19/20, and that was because it was so cold in our student house that I needed something to keep warm. Before that I knew nothing about hot drinks - remember having to ask the builder how to make (instant) coffee when I was probably 17 or 18, when my mom and dad were having some work done on the house.

Speaking of coffee, I didn’t drink/like that until maybe 2 years ago.

How about beer?

Most men my age (I’m 29) went through a stage of wondering why people liked it…before persevering to fit in. It was probably a mix of growing to like the taste and discovering alcohol that led to genuine enjoyment.

For me, I think the more open minded nature of the generation after mine is highlighted in how more males are saying no thanks to beer and sticking to fruity cocktails, etc.

Took me a long time to get on board with mushrooms, but they’re my favourite part of a cooked breakfast now if done right :mushroom::mushroom::mushroom:

You know what elevates mushrooms to the ultimate level in a cooked brekky? Fried not only in butter but also some carefully measured splashes of soy sauce. Absolute winner.

When I was young and eating dinner, I would wait till my Mum had left the room, then quickly roll up some broccoli in a couple of pieces of kitchen roll and stuff it far down into the bin.

Now it’s my go-to everyday green veg, goes in almost every meal, even on pizza.

I confessed my broccoli antics to my Mum a couple of years ago and she just laughed and said she always put three times as much as she wanted me to eat on the plate. When I would beg to be able to leave the table without quite finishing my plate, she would get to look like the kind and caring mother by letting me go, making me feel like she’d done me a favour, even though I’d eaten more than she wanted in the first place. Pure evil.
