I’m starting Autumn on a tiny Greek Island - the struggling sick man of Europe. Where a cold pint is 3 euro, the waters are crystal clear and not full of poo poo, the milk comes fresh from cows in the valley, a gourmet restaurant meal of Greek specialities last night cost 40 euros for two , a tank of petrol was 60 euro, and the olive oil on the table of even the cheapest taverna is like nectar of the gods. Thank goodness we don’t run Great Britain like this shambles.

I just finished this as a holiday read and I really don’t recommend it. It’s boring, procedural and doesn’t really offer any insight beyond what was in the news and leaked to hacks. It is however amusing in that, despite its endless obsequious tone, willingness to give the benefit of the doubt, and absolute acceptance of establishment thinking, it still concludes that Johnson was a hopeless, lazy, lying bullshitter from start to finish

Always funny when political bullshit bumps up against reality. Sir Kid Starver has had his gang on absolute lockdown for months, years even - do not ever, in any interview, ever commit to spending any money whatsoever on anything or The Mail might use it against us. And so we arrive here to the point where kids will just have to die horrible deaths in primary schools. Lol

Weighing in on roast dinners. As I am English and my wife Irish there has been much debate on this. Mash AND roast is a must in Ireland, as is Turkey AND ham. I’m not sold on either. They go very big on stuffing. Lots of bread based stuffing is essential - home made, not Paxo. Yorkshire puddings are a British invention and generally shunned , although I have won my wife round to them with my homemade ones. I personally loathe cauliflower so we make Broccoli cheese with a proper bechamel and it’s a thing of beauty

What, for every roast dinner? No roast beef or chicken? Turkey+ham I'd more think of for a particularly large Christmas dinner (or Thanksgiving ;p)

No you can have other meats. But if you’re having turkey you have to have ham with it.

Edit : I mean this may sound trivial but there were major debates about this with my mother in law when my wife moved over to England for a while. She was horrified she wouldn’t get ham with her Xmas dinner. And let’s not get started on serving a prawn cocktail starter rather than vegetable soup

We have a thing we do sometimes which we call a “cheat roast” where you fancy one but can’t be arsed with all the mess a proper roast makes. It consists of Stuffed chicken breasts from the butcher ( chx breast with stuffing inside and wrapped in bacon), aunt Bessie spuds , Bisto, and one green veg. Cheap and nasty - like snorting speed rather than decent cocaine, but hits the spot.

Ok as we’re dug into this subject I’m gonna ask the Goonmind. I am a good cook, if I say so myself , I enjoy cooking, I can make lovely food of all types. But I cannot get PORK loving CRACKLING to work. I’ve tried everything - you name it. Blazing hot oven, salting, oiling, boiling water, drying, pan frying , every loving technique and it STILL DOESNT WORK.

Its the stuffing that is the key on making Turkey and Ham.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that stuffing is the best bit of any roast

Roast tier list:

Stuffing
Roast Pots done properly
York Pud
Meat cooked well and not grey poo poo
Proper gravy
Broccoli cheese
Roasted veg
Other veg done well and not boiled to poo poo - ie stir fry some green beans in garlic and butter
