I feel I need a photo. Do the fish fingers bloat a bit? Does the crumb sog off? I need to know.
he only makes it about once a year when I have some sort of last minute FUBAR and there’s no dinner. I then run screaming at the very mention so I’ve never seen it up close.
I believe he grills the FFs then mixes everything together. I would expect the crumb to sog off, yes. It’s a massive crime against the innocent ingredients that are perfectly good foods in their own right.
I will squeeze some into a food bag and send it to you. It won’t be at all sinister when it drops through the letterbox after you’ve forgotten this conversation.
I got some sriracha from Sainsbury's this week but it wasn't the normal bottle/brand - it got subbed for some bourgeois brand and it's in a small glass bottle. There are very few meals that aren't made better by sriracha.
I don't want to cause a rush on tinned baby corn. Like all tinned veg, it's not *actually* nice, I just thought it would do in a Thai green curry - for example - in a potential Brexit situation.

My mum and aunt make this mince dish known in the family as "splodge". It is an utterly flavourless concoction that uses mince, tomatoes and veg, with no herbs or spices whatsoever, served with rice. I have always refused to eat it.
I think I've mentioned before my dad's recipe for 'splosh'. This is minced beef, onions, diced potatoes and water boiled up together then a stock cube added. Sometimes but not always, the meat and onions were browned first.

Oh god. This is what food will be like after Brexit, isn’t it?

I love mince, so I bet I'd like splodge and splosh. One of my favourite meals as a child was a pitta you could fill with completely plain mince and spaghetti hoops (or baked beans).
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.
ExMrB's Mum used to make something like splodge. It was not inspiring. Awfully, I thought my Mum's cooking was really dull until I started having to eat there. I then worked out my Mum was good but unimaginative cook, and her meals a damn sight better than Thing served with three veg, 2 woefully undercooked, one woefully overcooked.

I keep thinking we’re not going to have any trade agreements* soon and getting really worried.
Look at the shambles they made organising the A-Level results. I have zero confidence this government are capable of anything as big as negotiating trade deals for a nation.
The one small glimmer of hope is that they have no qualms about u-turns, I mean nobody resigns or takes any actual responsibility but they have done quite a few u-turns.

Although it was orange.
