Hello, dear
Gravlax sounds like a chocolate you'd get in the chemist by way of a laxative

chemists also do diabeetus chocolate and for a long time it was the only place you could get a flyte bar. I have no idea why the flyte bar ended its chocolate bar life journey in chemist shops but that's just the way it goes i suppose

Been buying lots of dried beans and herbs from them since the start of lock down. Can confirm that the prices and quality are very good! (Also learned that 1kg of dried mint is alot of mint)

I take it you know gravlax is salmon? (lax / laks / lachs scandinavian/german words for salmon )

Its v expensive so for me it's 1x per year.


Waitrose version:

quote:

Scottish salmon cured in salt, sugar and spices then coated in dill and lemon pepper. With a sachet of mustard and dill sauce
This flavoursome Scottish salmon is cured for six days with salt, sugar and spices and is then dipped in dill and lemon pepper. It comes with a sachet of Swedish-inspired mustard and dill sauce

I remember when I first had a McDonald's in Norway maybe 25 years ago - and McLax burger was much cheaper than a chicken burger, salmon being much cheaper there than in the UK.

So Fife is expected to go to T4 this week. Only for it to be temporarily suspended for Christmas week.

Running no point.

I did some home made smoked salmon on the bbq for Christmas last year, bits of salmon being loads cheaper than smoked (yes I know gravadlax is cured not smoked). You "brine" the fish in salt and sugar and I stuck juniper berries in as well. Then it's a bit tricky to keep it smoking cool enough to avoid cooking the salmon too much but the result was great.

"Since becoming leader, Keir has shown the Labour Party is under new leadership."

He has indeed. poo poo new leadership.


"He secured a U turn on the NHS surcharge,"

Did he?


"Has taking a zero-tolerance stance on antisemitism,"

- By suspending Jews he disagrees with,
- Didn't the EHRC report specifically condemn Corbyn for getting involved in antisemitism cases?


"Exposed the government's incompetence,"

You can't expose someone walking down the street with their own dick out.


"Helped force a u-turn on exams,"

No, that was the press again, and then the one stance you actually took was trying to force the schools back in the middle of a pandemic


"Committed the next Labour government to a Race Equality Act to tackle structural racism,"

You hear that lads, sir Keith is going to solve racism by making sure there are more black MI5 officers


"Forced two votes to extend free school meals,"

That was Marcus Rashford, you can tell the difference because he doesn't look like a slab of ham wedged into a suit.


"Led calls for a national circuit break"

Which would have done gently caress all while still insisting schools go back and doing nothing to help furloughed workers, you know, the entire loving point of your party


"Closed the gap on the conservatives"

:ughh:


"And begun to climb the mountain to win the next general election."

But nearly everything else is much more expensive, of course.

I lived in Oslo for about a year around the turn of the millennium. I do miss reindeer burgers, and the little hotdog stand on Sannergate. :)

The jet ski had 10mins of fuel left when he arrived here. It was also casually mentioned that he walked from Ramsey to his girlfriends house in Anagh Coar which would have taken hours. They then went out to a crowded nightclub, idiot.

There was a load of people kicking off because we jailed some Yorkshire wielders as well a few months back for ignoring self isolation after arriving. One of them immediately was diagnosed with covid and we had to isolate our prison.

Locking down our boats/airports and jailing idiots has let us have no lockdown of any sort since June.

And then Marcus Rashford, to the obvious notice of everyone, forces a government climb down on free school meals, and Starmer and his followers immediately switch to "Keith single handedly saved all of the beautiful children of Britain".

Not tried it, it does not appeal. Funnily enough, the Egyptians also have a smelly fish (fesikh or fseekh) usually eaten at Shams Neseem, an ancient spring festival (not a muslim one) - also never tried it. It stinks something chronic.

Oh hey, another islander (although I barely count, given I hosed off 20 years ago and never looked back).

And yeah, the Irish Sea in winter is no joke. The Manx ferry company once bought a catamaran that was used to cross the English Channel in the hope that they could speed up the crossing to Liverpool. It got used in winter exactly once, and I was lucky enough to be on it. Looking out of the windows on a ferry and seeing water to the left and sky to the right is quite an experience.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the gall of Starma, a white man, to claim the success of Rashford, a black man, when replying to a magazine written by women and non-binary people of colour.
