You can laugh, but that statement demonstrates a keen insight into the minds of the UK voter (overcome by a furious paranoia that they're being disrespected in some intangible way and it didn't used to be like this, you know)

The right amount of cheese and carmalized onions, holy poo poo nectar of the gods.

I can only assume its a regional thing, for example we rarely do Yorkshire puddings.

I'm in NI and have never seen cauliflower cheese, but not having Yorkshire puds with a roast would be a crime. They're the perfect gravy delivery mechanism.

I'm with you on turkey and ham though. You can even buy pre-prepared servings of turkey/ham/stuffing in some supermarkets here, either single or in family packs if you're feeling lazy and don't want to do two full roasts.

UK Housing stock will become poo poo in exciting new ways :marc:

quote:

Yet British infrastructure and homes are almost uniquely unprepared. “The UK has some of the poorest housing stock in Europe when it comes to energy efficiency, largely due to poor levels of insulation,” says Abigail Ward, policy and communication officer at the Energy Saving Trust, an independent organisation working to address the climate crisis. She adds that British homes in winter lose heat on average three times faster than European houses. “Because home insulation works in a similar way to a thermal flask – keeping heat out in the summer and in during winter – the lack of sufficient insulation means UK homes are also ill-equipped to stay cool in hotter temperatures.”

Housing will become too hot to be liveable without HVAC as temperatures rise, and the current UK strategy to power all that HVAC is relighting the coal burners in summer. :marc:

Investment in better insulation and in external shutters is the correct way forward, but neither the "we refuse to spend money" party nor the "we only spend money on our friends' dodgy scams" party want to do that.

6. Keep uncovered in fridge overnight and take out 1 hr before cooking.

This is the key step: I have done the Z the IVth method as well, and because I am a dweeb, I systematically removed individual steps that seemed like too much effort to understand which were absolutely critical and which ones made a smaller incremental improvement, and this is the number one that makes the biggest difference.

What I do is:

Score the skin with a very sharp knife, down to the fat, without going through it and into the meat (I like to cross hatch, but I also have a spiky thing that punches holes, and it works equally well, but doesn't allow you to snap off nice strips)
Salt the skin (not too heavily, but quite a bit of salt) and rub it in (absolutely no oil, that is the way to gently caress up crackling)
Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight
Start the cooking at the highest temperature your oven can manage and turn it down after 15m, turn it back up for the last 15m of cooking

Aren't external shutters really difficult in the UK because our windows open the wrong way?

To work best with shutters windows need to open inwards. Our ones open outwards

I love a good stuffing. Did you ever have one of those turkeys stuffed with a duck, stuffed with another bird, stuffed with another bird? I had one once, it was 5 birds deep. It was wonderful, dense, intense.

I've been getting the multi bird stuffed thing you get in Aldi/Lidl each year for the past few years. Less hassle than turkey, random flavours all over, its great.

Yeah there's a few ways you can do it, Spanish/French style wooden shutters with double windows, German Rouladen roller shutters with inward opening tilt windows, American shutters and screens with vertical sliding sash windows, you can even get windows with the shutter/blind inside the double glazing.

Any grant program should also come with funding for whatever type of window works best with them, because there's a load of UPVC that is falling apart that needs replacing too, and both is good.

Instead we will get nothing and turn into pork crackling.

I'm willing to believe that there is a hypothetical good stuffing out there, because the individual constituent ingredients are all perfectly edible. However every example I've had tasted like mouldy cardboard and was the worst part of the meal it appeared in. Paxo is especially awful.

We certainly did things differently in the 70's... :lol:

I was speaking to a lad who started working on the rails in the 1980s. He told me you just rocked up in your jeans, t-shirt and trainers for work, you had a hard hat but didn't have to wear it. For protection against trains they would hang a hi vis vest on a tree branch down track and the rain would see it and blast the horn. Crazy how we used to do 'safety.'

You should see what goes on in Cairo!

I had new ceramic floors put in my flat, and there were the workmen, using pickaxes to hack up the old floor wearing flip flops and no eye protection.
I couldn't look (I was living in the flat while they did the work).

Oh and seeing people put in those airconditioner units - literally one guy hanging out of the window being held by his feet by a couple of other guys while he did whatever has to be done with various tubes and cables.

Obviously it's a lot safer these days but we still do some stuff like happily walk within a boot width from a rail carrying 650 volts while carrying a metal shovel from time to time.
