So is the biggest story on Tuesday when everyone goes back to work going to be about how the Tories are a domestic child sexual abuse network and that the secret services and press allowed it to happen?

Imagine having a government where not only can a noted pedarest find a position, but where he can outright say "I'm a noted pedarest" and be confident he'll not get the boot, let alone prison. Like I admit, I've been naive, I figured that as reprehensible as I find the Tories as a whole, they would still draw the line somewhere above child sexual abuse.

You can use a roux or just beurre manié, where you mix equal parts flour and butter by hand and toss in bit by bit to thicken gravy. Or use arrowroot.

OwlFancier posted:They're literally the party of institutional noncery. Yeah, I know.  I just hoped there might be... SOME limit... or at least a degree of circumspectionI guess he did claim to be "very discreet" but I don't know if that's really true given that he said out loud to another human person he's a noted pedarest. Then again, I guess it was enough to keep it quiet enough to avoid repercussions for loving decades so Just want y'all to take a minute sit right there think about the next week's media if it came out that this all happened in Harold Wilson or Jim Callaghan's cabinet instead.

EmptyVessel posted:If you can afford to eat a roast dinner every week you are doing better than an awful lot of people are. What is expensive about a roast dinner? The veg is pennies and you can buy a whole chicken for less than 3 quid. Yeah I know that many people are struggling, but let's not try and pretend a roast dinner is some sort of indulgent luxury.

Roasts are really cheap for 4+ people. Unless you try some fancy meat that isn't chicken.

Or a turkey leg, which are generally very cheap out of season. The real benefit of a roast is it gives you a good chunk of meat stock to do your veg in and make gravy with.

Also a chunk of the stuff for a roast would be stuff you could grow in your own garden, back when people had veg patches, I suppose.

I've eaten lobster once at the magpie in whitby. It was nice but it was lobster thermidor so it has piles of cheese on it and I couldn't entirely see the point? It tastes like a really big prawn. Also their calamari was horrible, like eating rubber bands.

It'd probably be nicer if they took the edible bits out for you rather than giving you the whole thing so you can dissect it yourself. Like mate I'm paying you to feed me I appreciate the thought but I'd rather have my dinner hot than spray chunks of it everywhere trying to get the edible bits out. Same with tiger prawns.

I've never eaten it because I'm a lifelong vegetarian but seafood is loving disgusting. Fish smells awful and anything seafood that's not fish is either some kind of alien or an insect. No thanks.

Marxist-Jezzinist posted:working families could buy a small joint of meat and basically eat it for the rest of the week. It's actual old-timey working class culture and not some kind of super bourg thing. Your first link says it's a working class diet, but on the same website this page makes it pretty clear that the diet they're talking about was for the better off of the working class. That second link is pretty out of date - this paper from last year on Victorian diet says that the urban poor especially had a far more restricted diet, while even the better fed rural poor weren't getting to eat that much meat. I think that the perception of the Sunday roast as "actual old-timey working class culture" involves buying into a view of Jolly Olde England that owes more to Victorian romanticism than actual history.

Fish smells awful and anything seafood that's not fish is either some kind of alien or an insect. No thanks. If it smells bad that means it's off, OP. Fish smell is decomposition, basically. It's something to do with the bacteria that live in them which multiply after death, fresh fish smells of very little and has a much nicer flavour. If you can't get it fresh I would suggest getting it smoked, which is different but still nice. Just old fish is pretty mank yeah.

Yeah I am aware of that but in my mind I can't decouple that smell (which the fish counter at supermarkets always loving reeks of) from the food. That said I have had "vegan fish" at a vegan "fish" and chip shop in Sydney while on holiday and it was really nice. My wife said it was somewhat convincingly like fish. Lol though smoked fish. When my wife and I had not been together that long and she still ate meat, she bought a smoked haddock risotto ready meal from a supermarket and microwaved it. Fffffff that smelled rank and so strong, I generally like smoked foods but dunno how anybody can eat that. In other news: https://twitter.com/oldweirdbritain/status/1119979100054130688?s=20
