Imagine the shit you'd do the day after that. Christ alive.
My local chippy has been doing a munchy box for ages. Two sausages, a half fried pizza, a half black pudding, onion rings, and a double portion of chips for six quid. Obviously not a patch on that atrocity, but still altogether too much.
I had a stinking hangover yesterday and soothed it with a 'salt and chilli shredded chicken pizza crunch', which was wonderful and filthy.
I've never had one so perhaps one day I'll find myself enlightened, but even for grotty guilty-pleasure takeaway food the 'pizza crunch' sounds absolutely grim.
Does anyone have a "lounge" in their town? As in the middling bar/restaurant chain, rather than a front room or strip club. Their food is nowt more than "bit more expensive and slightly nicer than spoons", but they do sweetcorn fritters with their breakfast and they're wicked.
I just had dessert created in front of me in a 2x4 picture frame with liquid nitrogen. Keeks would be proud

Had that today.
Couldn't get galangal and I put a bit too much cloves powder in but it is lovely.
Recently start putting anchovies in every tomato-based pasta sauce I make and not just puttanesca. They are amazing.
This is an absolutely banging recipe for strawberry ice cream while they're still in season-

Texture is perfect and it's easy to make.
@John Gelato > ice cream.
My ice cream maker is one of the best kitchen purchases I've made.
I've got an Andrew James one, only cost about £25 too and it's perfect for in the house.
I buy my ice cream.
Good homemade ice cream is genuinely DRAMATICALLY better than shop bought.
It's better but after eating this famous gelato in Italy etc, it's not worth the faff for me. Not something I'd eat that often anyway, I'd rather a bag of crisps.
Either can be equally good. Also cheesecake is almost invariably meh.
Seaside whippy ice cream > *
Also, cheesecake is the business so long as it's not something perverted like lemon. Had some sort of an Italian yogurt cake the other night, someone cut it up and tossed it into that picture frame thing along with the main dessert, and it was very nice. Love that yogurt/cream cheese type stuff in desserts.
Good cheesecake is hard to find. People overcomplicate it. Just get a good biscuit base and you're winning.
RL, Gelato is fucking literally the word for Ice Cream in Italian.
Fuck offffffff.
I think he's talking about sorbet.
I think he’s a pretentious cunt.
That's me.
Italian ice cream is made as bit differently to 'normal' ice cream so using a different word seems sensible.
It's not sensible, cause it's Ice Cream.
Meat stew is made differently than Fish stew because there's fish in one and meat in the other. You still call the Fish Stew fucking stew, because it is a stew. It's not complicated.
It's ok to like certain types of Ice Cream more than others, for instance I like Chocolate ice cream better than Strawberry ice cream, because I'm a grown up and a man, but that doesn't mean one of them isn't Ice Cream cause it's made slightly different.
Also, Sorbet is also fucking Ice Cream. C'mon, the same shop will sell it and stuff it into a cone or whatever - then it's Ice Cream. Don't be fucking cunts about it.
Just got back from a teppanyaki. It strikes me that I don't actually like having food thrown at me, but the peer pressure of not participating is too high. So yes, ended up trying to catch my meal with my mouth.
We've another one.

Yo where should I eat tonight? Is there anywhere decent where the waiter won't try to do epic banter? I just got out of a place where the guy did a 10 minute comedy routine on the cocktail menu. I'd already decided to have a large glass of Pinot Grigio but this didn't deter him.
Seems an odd thing to get worked up about, it's just ice cream.
You mean it’s just Gelato.
It's made differently. You can wank on about "they mean the same" all you like, but they aren't the same.
You can be pedantic and say "Italian ice cream is different to English ice cream" but unless you're learning disabled it's pretty obvious what is meant when people talk about gelato Vs ice cream.
Waaaaay too serious about ice cream there RL.
Sorbet is Icecream for Kiko’s.
The suspense is killing me.
Do they still sell Balisto bars in England?
I've never seen one in my life.
We were talking about them today in work, they were epic. Must be 20 years since I seen one.
Balisto? What the fuck are they?
proper into fabs atm
