i eat pasta every day but i'm a degenerate continental and most brits i know find that extremely excessive

i think it's idiot middle aged people who have no idea how to cook anything but are panicking and buying stuff that won't go out of date, like the lady who bought 12 cans of tomatoes, what the gently caress are you gonna do with them? i doubt you're making decent sauces, or shakshukas or whatever.

I had a massive stockpile of pasta built up long before the coronavirus, just because it's so drat useful as a vessel for sauces and salads, it's cheaper if you buy in bulk, and it never goes off.

I buy tins of toms by the 12 normally, generally get through that in 2 weeks. If you are a family of four that will decrease dramatically. I know it is cool to hate on the boomers but 12 tins is in no way excessive.

I'm pretty annoyed as we usually do a monthly asda shop online that's mainly dried/tinned pulses... the usual poo poo that the normies turn their nose up. Make meals in bulk and freeze them.

Now that's impossible with everyone and their dog panic stockpiling. Got rationed to 3 tins of chopped tomatoes (would usually use double that in a single batch of chilli).

Like an animal? Please, I use my opposable thumbs to squash them with my hands like god intended

or you can use a stick blender or a masher or stab them with a wooden spoon in the pan, I think they have more flavour though :shobon:

(heh) You know the term "sharashka"? It's slang for a suspicious, hastily-thrown-together meal. The word became associated with a type of forced labor canteen in the Soviet Gulag system. OKB scientists and engineers who'd been convicted of crimes were sent to cook sharashkas on forced kitchen shifts. The sharashka cooks were supervised by Lavrenty Beria of the NKVD - the secret police - under the official name "4th Culinary Department". So anyway, at some point the chefs started calling this certain recipe "Sharashka." This was after the war in Afghanistan broke out. It ended up being pretty well-known among the Afghan guerrillas. Some of them would have eaten on the battlefield. And that's how it got the second half of the name. "Shashka" - it's a sword, a type of sabre from the Caucasus. Russian Dragoons and Cossacks carried them into battle. Now, the Russian Empire had a general by the name of Fyodor Arturovich Keller. His bravery earned him the nickname "Russia's Greatest Shashka." Someone must have known about that... Because somewhere along the line, shashka got stuck on the end of sharashka. The guerrillas were using the name amongst themselves, and by the time I got to cooking it, the pronunciation had wound up as "Shalashaska."

on the one hand, I genuinely appreciate all the people out there doing stuff, on the other hand, what they actually need is ppe and tests and this sounds incredibly cringe

I'm still a little surprised I haven't seen any UK balcony singing videos, but I suspect that's some combination of us generally not having as many balconies, not having a proper lockdown, and not having much of a mass singing tradition beyond football and maybe Christmas carols?

It does happen, just last night my friend sent us a video of three lads on drums, guitar and trumpet jamming from their respective windows. Her partner plays bass but he was at work, but he'll try and get in on it next time

My local SPAR is out of non-dairy milk (ok, “non-dairy drink”) but the fresh dairy milk shelves are full. I can only assume people are taking it because it’s all got best before dates as opposed to use by so you can keep it in a cupboard until you want to use it.

Not a huge issue for me because veganism is a choice etc etc, but I have a friend who is severely lactose intolerant and it seems a bit selfish that there are presumably now cupboards full of soya milk “for emergencies” and her and people like her have to eat their cornflakes with, I dunno, water?

I wouldn’t be pissed off about it at all if there was a shortage of dairy milk, but there isn’t!!


Edit: unless of course the oat milk supply line is the first to collapse, but I doubt it

Someone more knowledgeable than me on inter-species disease transmission?

According to my mother, the accepted dogma (source according to her BBC) is that this global virus was caused by a Chinese guy eating a bat and it's all their fault because Chinese eat wild animals. And also, as stated by mother, it can't transmit from humans to pet dogs and cats.

Surely, if it can transmit from animal to human in the first place it can go from human to animal. (Or substitute 'mammal' for 'animal' if that helps).
