I'm a mere 36 and I vividly remember getting the plain crisps with the sachet of salt that you had to add yourself. Not sure if  or just an Irish thinggoddamnedtwisto posted:I've seen someone crumble ready-salted crisps into soup which was... interesting, but I'm far too scared to try myself. this squares with the practice I learned from my American coastal elite missus of crumbling oyster crackers into chowder. And it is godly

I just assume there were Catholic priests at their pulpits condemning ready-salted crisps as a gateway to onanism, hence the sachet to spare the virtuous

Since its poppymas I might as well ask here. What's the best charities for actually supporting ex-military, if not RBL? I like my donations to actually do useful things like address veteran homelessness and mental health (instead of just raise awareness like build a poppy the size of the moon).

Crackers seem fine to add to soup but like, crisps are greasy, I would think they'd go really weird.

Aren't soups just emulsions anyway, would it really make a difference? I've made shredded Mexican tortilla soup things that have worked out pretty nice, I'm willing to gamble on a crisp

I used to help out with this charity (very many - exceedingly many - moons ago) - they're not specifically for military but as I mentioned previously, a lot of their clients at the time were former military and they didn't push religion at anyone: https://www.wlm.org.uk/ There's a specifically military vets one here that I've heard of but I don't know anything about them: https://www.ssafa.org.uk/get-help/joining-civvy-street/support-for-homeless-veterans

I used to know someone that just ate the raw, unsalted crisps. Terrible. At one point they made a bunch of different flavour sachets with their plain squares, so you could have S&V, C&O, probably beef, etc. IIRC, they were shite. Also, crushing salted corn chips into a fajita is nice.

In the olden days (1960s) the crisps used to come with the little blue packet of salt - this was my childhood. Then they disappeared for years, and were revived not sure 1990s? So are you 'first generation' memory or 2nd generation memory?

Anyone remember when Discos had the flavour sachets? Except it was more flavour of the flavour that was already present, so you'd get ultra salt and vinegar flavour blasted ones or the pickled onion ones that felt like they would almost damage the roof of your mouth with the potency. Great times, Discos used to be one of my favourite crips but they're shite now.

peanut- posted:There's got to be an PhD in studying why all UK threads everywhere so regularly devolve into crisp chat. Yes, it's true. Two forums I'm aware of have official crisp chat threads. Maybe because it's a relatively safe discussion to 'lift the mood' or have a disagreement on. Crisp sandwiches are nice - a decent bread slathered in cream cheese and stuffed with crisps - most flavours work well.

You know all those students whose a levels we hosed about with? And then charged them a fortune to go to their uni halls before immediately blaming them for everything and locking the doors behind them? Well theyve got a week evacuation window at the end of lockdown to get home to their families and all their study poo poo will be on zoom now. lol. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54887526

adding the salt yourself is so weird and foreign a concept to me with that said, crisps are delicious crunched into basically any sandwich or bowl of pasta :V

I went to the local cenotaph today to read all the messages left but there was one poppy wreath with no message just a blank piece of paper - from the Conservatives. Messaging on point then! The thing is I've always had with Remembrance is that my paternal Gran fought in the war and she was from Ireland which always has been a slightly different ballgame for obvious reasons so I like the white poppy since it seems a bit more inclusive. To each their own of course.

I like my donations to actually do useful things like address veteran homelessness and mental health (instead of just raise awareness like build a poppy the size of the moon). I've also always been a bit uncomfortable with (a)giving to charities that do things that should very obviously be publicly funded, and (b)the idea that veterans should get special treatment when plenty of non-veterans have the exact same needs, but I'm told RBL are actually a legit good charity, it's more just the message they've been sending in recent years that I can't condone

They were an irish thing as they were the only snack you would get in pubs for years. No KP nuts, and pork scratchings were never a thing in Ireland. So it was crisps only usually. My uncle was mad for them when they came back in the 80s/90s, gave him fond memories of him going out to dances, I remember doing an errand and buying them for him.

I've not had crisps in forever. Should probably buy a bag sometime. Though one thing I've had were "pinkfinch crispy apples" which is basically salted apple crisps, they have them in the local sainsburys at least. They're pretty good but you can't really eat a whole bag. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Nov 11, 2020 |

salt and shake are shite because the whole point is you add the salt and other flavourings while they the oil is still hot so it adheres to the surface. salt and shake you just get saltless crisps and a pool of salt in the bottom of the bag after

Borrovan posted:I think RBL is actually the best charity for this, I just won't give them any money for aforestated reasons RBL's work with homeless ex-servicepeople is specifically tailored around the problems they face - in particular institutionalisation and PTSD - in an environment that the recipients are much more likely to be receptive to. It's probably not surprising that the mental health issues many ex-services face are very similar to those who've been in prison, but it's also not surprising that the ways which you approach helping them are different. It may or may not surprise you that the RBL actually agree with you on doing work that the Government should be doing, and in fact this was one of the big drivers for the creation of Help for Heroes - the MoD refused to fund a specialist physio and rehabilitation centre at Selly Oak, the NHS hospital where the majority of injured servicepeople were treated on the way out of service. H4H (with the aid of a frankly disgusting smear campaign against the NHS for "failing" these patients, despite the fact it was the MoD just dumping them there) were formed to fund this, as well as accommodation for visiting families. When the MoD (under massive behind-the-scenes pressure from RBL and others) moved rehab back in-house to RAF Headley Court they merrily took the money from H4H (and other charities) to kit it out, even though that should 100% be their job. I *will* give H4H some very minor props for shutting up the NIMBYs who strenuously objected to the redevelopment of Headley Court and the conversion of several houses in the nearby village to accommodation for families, because they were so horrified by the idea of squaddies being anywhere near them.
