That kebab I had on Wednesday appeared to have a rather bidning effect.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You'll be pleased to know that it has now been released into the community.

[Berni]

I have frankly eaten nothing but crap for three days now. I even had pizza last night. Bad, delivery pizza. :-O

Bowels are fine, though.

[Luis Anaconda]

though I have a feeling I shall regret it in a bit

Jesus there must have been a kilo of meat there.

I'm making tartiflette today. There will be onions, leeks, lardons, mushrooms and creme fraiche and white wine. I'm tempted to chuck a couple of Toulouse sausages on the side as well.

We're going to be fat again soon, aren't we? What will Ryan say?

[Berni]

But yes. Things have been allowed to slip of late.

[Berni]

[Luis Anaconda]

I'll put it to the test - if only the boss would go home

Have you seen the state of Cornish birds?

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

because he was shortly to visit Cornwall, which meant he'd be able to 'eat a proper pasty'.

c**t.

they could be raised above the bland, grey sub-pies they seem to be.

Nope. Turns out that, however well you cook them, lard-based pastry, meat and root vegetables enlivened only by salt and pepper and lacking in a sauce or gravy remain unutterably tedious.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

We do attract 'em, don't we?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

God gave us garlic and chilli for a reason, you know.

themselves" with excitement needs to broaden their horizons tbh.

[Berni]

Yeah, I remember being quite excited. Then I took the first bite, only to realise it tasted exactly like a Cornish pasty. :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I like it when chubsters offer violence. It makes me wonder just how long they think they can keep swinging and missing before they have to sit down for a good puff and a bag of chips.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'd like to try to make a scotch pie. With the lamb grease and that.

'ability to season'. Very good work.

[Berni]

High time for pie time imo.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Tomorrow I'm going to go to Whitstable and eat lunch, hopefully peering through melancholy drizzle at an indeterminate sea / channel to Sheppey.

[Berni]

pie-vulnerable. She'll be like putty in my hands imo.

Oooh, Oyster Company, is it? A dozen natives?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

filled with tripe or somesuch.

That sounds a little wrong. Apologies.

Yes, I should say so. It's wildly overpriced and not particularly good, isn't it? But it's just right there. Where you want it to be.

[Berni]

I could, of course, make a steak and kidney pudding. Takes much longer and is ridiculously fattening - plus you have to make a gravy to pour into the top at the end - but, when it's good, it's the superior of any pie imo.

Yes, it is a bit overpriced. But you can't really f**k up oysters and lobster, can you?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I can't get my head round tying a cloth on top with string.

[Berni]

its own devices. I always chop the kidney up nice and weeny so you get the delicious pissy flavour, but not the nasty texture.
