Thanks for all the Christmas dinner tips, everyone. I’ll definitely consider them. To be honest, I’ll probably try to recreate the dinner my now-dead Mum used to make, though probably with a turkey crown as suggested. Is there even a cavity to stuff with a crown though?

If it’s a fully boneless butterflied crown it’s easily stuffable, not sure about ones with bones.

All the people saying that they don't like stuffing, have you ever had actual stuffing instead of that dried pasty crap? That paxo stuff is vile but actual stuffing is the food of the gods. What's better than sausagemeat, bread and herbs?

i fail to see how since looking at the back of the bag of paxo makes it sound identical. the difference looks mostly to be in the crumb size but that stuff and stove top are basically identical

He might be thinking of cornbread dressing I think? But even regular Stovetop is definitely different to ours in texture. Also, no balls.

I wonder what would happen if you carbonated Sainsbury's red grape juice not from concentrate in a Soda Stream (using pub gas, so as not to further occupy Palestina).

Running no point.

When you're finished with your roast chicken or turkey, roast the carcass again with some veggies until it's brown, then simmer it for a day and get nice broth.

Then cook tortellini in it so you have tortellini in brodo. Delicious and pretty easy if you're working from home.

(Also I've started making bolognese sauce with chopped up pork shoulder instead of beef mince and it's both cheaper and tastier. So there.)

I wonder if you could do this biosynthetically with something like a Saccharomyces.

Where's my cow?

Is that my cow?

No it isn't, but it still tramples my bloody lavender.
Aside from the xmas dinner, I also then like having some really nice meat/cheese/bread/pickles/etc for laying out a spread in the evening- I enjoy it more than the roast and that's saying something because I loving love me a roast

Think I will probably do pork belly as the main this year though, now I have perfected crackling

In what way did the "security key" come with a can of corned beef? Was it a free giveaway of a trolley token, or is it like the ringpull?

Adonis is kind of special, he's like the ultimate centrist.

Any useful descriptive word, one that describes some people and not others, can be an insult. You just need to use it about one of the people it _doesn’t_ describe. Ideally, in the full knowledge that you are being deliberately wrong, as a demonstration of the fact that they have no power to correct you.

It becomes a slur when the useful meaning is lost in favour of the insulting one, so you can’t even use it accurately without implied insult.

Centrist isn’t a slur, so calling Adonis a centrist is no more an insult that calling Corbyn a socialist, or Hitler a Nazi. But there are plenty of people who would recognise the intended insult if you used any of those words about them.

Not only is this illegal but by writing it on the forums you've made us all culpable under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000, "to collect or make a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, or to possess a document or record containing information of that kind. The maximum sentence in respect of s58 is 10 years' imprisonment."

Arrest forums poster Sanford for going equipped for theft or burglary under the Theft Act 1968, s.25. imo.

That's a universal corned beef key, it could be used to open anyone's tin of corned beef, even those that don't belong to him, highly sus.

Reminds me of the time I got pulled over by Eurostar security because they'd seen a "train key" on the X-ray. They were highly suspicious when I said I didn't know what that was. Like of course I must know what it is, since I have one in my luggage, and therefore am either a railway employee or a terrorist.

It turned out to be my Leatherman, which was fine to take on!

Were you or were you not, Mr. Sanford, carrying an article that, should I have left my back door unlocked, as the man on the Clapham Common may reasonably do, allow you to gain access to my ordinarily secure tins of delicious corned beef?

And were you or were you not, about in public and using said tool in place of the Queen's Sterling, with intent to commit a dishonesty offence against an innocent trolley?

No further questions my lord.

Funnily lidls/aldis seem to use the coins, while asdas just let you grab them or they have perimeter systems that lock the trolley if you try to take it out of the car park.

I have never seen a waitrose so I don't know what they use.
