saw hundreds of new posts and was genuinely glad to find a food discussion rather than some new aspect of horror to view this shambling apocalypse from beans and mushy peas vary a lot with different cooking methods- a bit like how cabbage boiled for an hour until flavourless with the texture of soggy, discount brand arse wipe is entirely different to some that's been steamed a few minutes then tossed in butter and black pepper

Ramming the two together, you can do refried pease too.

The reason the sauce is thin in baked beans is because it gets thicker when you heat then up. So my suggestion is, no matter how tempting, stop eating them cold out the tin you animals

It's funny to me that in the rush to return to normality with a sensible, centrist public school type it never occurred to anyone that he might be an absolutely dreadful politician. https://twitter.com/LeftieStats/status/1353824499825856513

Yeah, I've said this from the start. Starmer would, I'm sure, make a perfectly competent head of some civil service dept, or one of the larger charities perhaps. But the qualities that make you a decent manager don't map straight onto the ones you need to be a good politician and crucially, Starmer doesn't seem to get this. For all the melts shouting that Starmer is making Labour 'electable' again, you can see this realisation starting to creep into their consciousnesses, hence all the faintly worried articles we've been seeing about how Starmer should probably be making a start on standing for some sort of coherent political programme.

therattle posted:My son is coeliac so these are off for us. Have you tried Beyond Burgers? They’re really amazing. Better than most actual beef burgers and they thoroughly sate the meat craving. And gluten free! Real talk, my wife wanted a Beyond Burger last night so I went down to the Tesco to get them for her. I found them in the frozen foods section. It was only when I got home that I discovered you have to thaw them out before cooking and can't cook them from frozen. (Since she's currently a diabetic dinners have to be eaten at specific times.) But at least we can have them for dinner tonight.

Yeah I can't imagine a non-meat based dish will have any major issues being cooked from frozen. At worst the outside might get a bit overdone.

If anyone is looking for good non-meat burgers then the Moving Mountains burgers are really good. Their hotdogs are also better than any "real" hotdog I've had.

His Divine Shadow posted:I want to try mushy peas, but I don't live in the UK so what kind of pea is best to start from? Canned green peas? Dried green peas? Frozen peas? It really has to be marrowfat peas. They are aged and dried in the field and have an edible outer shell. Young garden peas are too sweet, and don't have enough starch content to form mushy peas. Peas for soup are usually dried and have the outer shell removed and come split. This gives them a smoother texture once cooked than marrowfats. You can use them to make pease pudding by using less water than a soup, which is a similar dish to mushy peas.

You can certainly do it in just a pan (low heat, turning frequently, then whack the heat up) but doing it in the oven needs a lot less babysitting. (Freezing and then cooking them this way is a great way of turning cheap steak or burgers into something a bit more palatable too, it's basically ghetto sous vide)

Actual policies and actions seems to have about zero penetration with the general populace (as brutally shown by the last election). We need to film Johnson eating a procession of different foodstuffs until we find one that he eats weirdly.

Did a doubletake when I saw this. It's in the middle of a village in deepest, darkest Devon about a mile from us. The village has a secondary school that Boris visited before the general election. The story from mini-me is that one of his mates muttered "I hate Boris Johnson", but it was within earshot of him so they were given a Paddington stare in return.

The only real sticking point I’ve had about moving from London to the sticks is that I cannot find Gilbert’s kosher hotdogs anywhere for love nor money. Proper snap, good flavour.. put in a warmed bun with a slice of smoked cheese, hot mustard and ketchup and I’m about as happy as can be. gently caress, I really want hotdogs now.
