The gently caress? I’ve just read two pages of quite good posts about Christmas dinner, but not one has mentioned devils on horseback (dates wrapped in bacon and roasted). The single best food.

The sausage and chestnut stuffing is the most important part of the dinner imo

Guavanaut posted:Standard stuffing is just that, it's substitute sausagemeat made of breadcrumbs and dry herbs. If you use it as a fibreboard canvas for butter/olive spread and fresh herbs and some crushed chili then you can get some great results. I manage to love stuffing in all forms. A packet of Paxo on its own, proper home made, 99% sausage meat - it's all amazing and I could easily have a plate of just that.

This is the kind of left twittersphere nonsense I generally try to avoid posting here or anywhere, but what the gently caress. What the gently caress is this. The yanks must pay. https://twitter.com/moltopopulare/status/1472887447063130113

goddamnedtwisto posted:Nicola Murray was never PM, there was an election between series 3 and 4 (or 4 and 5, they're very inconsistent in how they count series) which not-Brown lost, and she became leader of the opposition before being knifed by Dan Miller. Ayya, that's right. Our timeline is clearly much bigger a joke

josh04 posted:This is the kind of left twittersphere nonsense I generally try to avoid posting here or anywhere, but what the gently caress. What the gently caress is this. The yanks must pay. This took me quite a bit of research just to work out what this was even about. For the benefit of anyone who needs it: these two are a pair of extremely pretentious girls who have an ostensibly leftist podcast called Red Scare, which has become notorious since they’ve galaxy brained themselves into becoming chummy with Alex Jones (of Infowars, not The One Show). The blonde one with the Russian name is also the girl Greg gets with in the most recent season of Succession. They are making an extremely bad-sounding horror movie that also involves Jeffery Epstein somehow, and gave an interview to Vice about it. In that, they worry about possibly getting blacklisted in the UK as they go hard on the royals, which would be bad as they feel an affinity with Manchester, leading to the exchange above. Also, presumably due to this exchange (?) to promote the article they did a photoshoot where they recreate a famous (again ?, I was a teenager into Britpop at the time and don’t remember it) football game involving a bunch of Britpop people in the 90s, with the two girls as Damon Albarn and Liam Gallagher. Here’s that interview, if anyone cares: https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkpgwv/dasha-nekrasova-and-madeline-quinn-on-their-epstein-inspired-horror-film . I found this out, and so now you must know it. By the way, in In The Thick Of It, Nicola Murray was meant to represent Ed Milliband and Dan Miller was meant to be David Milliband. So Armando was predicting that Ed would soon get knifed and David would return and take his place. Uncanny prediction skills.

Huh that I did not know, glad my RS exposure has been extremely limited. But this probably explains why I got "this person is deeply annoying" vibes off the character, in which case the Succession casting directors continue to nail it.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Actually I wonder if turkey and goose are the big Christmas meats just because they're much bigger birds and it's easier to cook one big one than two or three chickens? Close. Turkey wasn't a Thing until the Victorians, when one decent sized turkey would feed a middle-class family (husband, wife, children - not the servant(s)). kecske posted:today I learned that you can self certify off work without a doctors note for 28(!) days. That's a recent thing because doctors don't have time to see patients who are ill any more. Businesses are predictably up in arms that all their staff will immediately skive off for a month and live it up on statutory sick pay.

Here's a new one, universal credit claimants who pass the new style ESA element don't need fit notes, or at least that's what it said on the letter but you can be drat sure I'm calling them to check.

So Armando was predicting that Ed would soon get knifed and David would return and take his place. Uncanny prediction skills. Murray was a melange of several New Labour figures - about 50% Yvette Cooper with dashes of Jacqui Smith, Charles Clarke, and Ruth Kelly. Don't forget she was rushed in as a character because of Chris Langham's noncing conviction, long before anyone had even heard of The Good Milliband. The funny thing is that Miller effectively predicted Bad Milliband quite so well because he was originally just a one-shot "smarmy careerist" character in the first series when Bad Milliband was still an obscure junior minister[1], and it turns out if you write a character to be completely one-dimensional you get David Milliband. [1] Although spookily, while he was at the Cabinet Office when they wrote the first series, by the time it was filmed he'd moved to the Office Of The Deputy Prime Minister, the nearest real department to DoSA, as a junior minister with responsibilities for, among other things, housing - and guess what Dan Miller's role at DoSA was?

There's buckets of deeply worthless red scare twitter lore to get into (or avoid) but I just wanted to put across the basic irritation of two new york podcasters dressing up in city shirts and saying they deeply feel the "Mancunian Ethos" of The Smiths.

Yeah, but the season where Nicola becomes the hapless leader of the party was immediately after the ascension of Ed (Edscension?), so it was clearly an allusion to Ed’s leadership.

Late to Christmas dinner chat but I made these sprouts yesterday (bought myself a set of skillets a while back & still playing around with them, they are amazing & everyone should get them). They were good. Possibly better than my usual approach of frying them with a bunch of cream & mustard & lardons.

I do not know where the name or idea came from. it's basically diced sprouts fried with garlic, ginger and soy sauce. sounds weird for a Christmas dinner but it works superbly
