I mean I know people are mostly just missing Corbyn here, but Starmer's low-thirties average is better than any polling Corbyn had managed since 2017. Mostly it appears that Brits just don't like Labour.

That's true, with the caveat that Corbyn was absolutely monstered in the press for four years and Starmer hasn't been, at all (yet)

e: In 1155 the date of New Year's Day in England was changed from January 1st to March 25th. It was observed on that date until 1752. Personally it makes sense to not have the New Year start in the middle of winter, but there we are. I'd probably go March 1st to keep the months straight if it were up to me. And then make a 13th month, split them all to 28 days plus one bonus "Year Day" on NYE, etc. etc.

Yep. It should flex, but then snap cleanly once past a certain point. If it just keeps bending or squishes you’ve got a mushy piece of poo poo that’s probably 90% ground up gym-mats.

The kosher ones are the only supermarket brand I’ve found which have proper snap- everything else over here is just too soft and squishy.

Salt and Chilli Pizza Crunch

quote:

The pizza crunch is topped with a mix of spices, as well as onions and peppers and the latest addition to the takeaway's salt and chilli range.

According to the owners 'it's just like the pizza crunch from the chip shop, only better'.

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.
It's backformed justification. Keir Starmer is An Good Polician™ because he acts like a manager, and managers are good at their jobs, because if for one second we thought managers weren't good at their jobs, we might have to start questioning the fairness of our treatment under a managerial system and why certain people get promoted to elite status and we don't.

So it must be that we suck and they are clever. Yes, that's a sensible way to think about it. drat marxists trying to trick us into thinking about things!

Agree with this, they are very good. I'm a lifelong vegetarian so I can't make a direct comparison but the first time we had them my wife was absolutely convinced we must've been given actual beef by mistake.

She said "They're a very convincing imitation of the kind of low-quality burger that you get at a McDonalds" or something which is actually kind of an endorsement.

She's wrong! They are much better than McDonalds, and up there with the Byrons and Honest Burgers of this world.


Gort posted:

My wife is vegetarian so we are 99.5% vegetarian at home. The Quorn hotdogs are pretty good. But as CyberPingu says, the Moving Mountains ones are better.

The Question IRL posted:

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.


I just microwave defrost them then pan-fry them.

My son is also diabetic. Fun, isn't it?

It's fascinating, because it takes literal minutes to happen. You can sit down, eat dinner, then immediately take a whizz and make the bathroom stink like vegetables that have been cooked for three hours. No idea how the human body works that fast.

Yeah, I can’t think of anything that you eat which ‘works’ so quickly. Eat an edible, it’ll be an hour or so. Drop acid, twenty minutes. Eat asparagus? That stank is in your bladder /instantly/.

I have no idea if you can find Impossible brand veggie burgers and brats anywhere in the UK, but they're absolutely fantastic and pretty much set the standard. Their only competition is a Beyond Burger, and I think that it's generally accepted that Impossible Burgers are simply better (and priced accordingly).

therattle posted:

It's true they are much better. Though McDonald's actually partnered with Beyond to supply their new McPlant veggie burger, which is debuting soon.

Impossible Burgers are the ones that use GM mushrooms to produce haemoglobin? Now that we have Brexited it should be possible to import.
