That's what I thought would probably happen. Probably won't bother then.
Couldn't you blend it? That would make it finer.
I don't have a blender.
Separate the chocolate and caramel from the biscuit. Melt the former, smash the latter to bits in a bowl, and proceed as instructed.
I've tried that, you just get half granulated and half icing sugar.Quote:

He doesn't have a blender, I wasn't about to assume he had a mortar and pestle. A bowl and the back of a spoon will do the job if it's a Twix you're smashing up.Quote:

Also the fact that it's Keenwah not Kwi-Noah just makes it that extra level of hateful.
edit: Oh the threads moved onto the Mediocre Boydy Bake Off. My comments still stand even if they are a little redundant.
Do you not makes soups Boyd?
No but even when I did/if I ever do, I wouldn't blend them.
He's from Northern Ireland. Soup there is whole veg, water, and barley.
Oh right, didn't realise that was a culinary faux pas!
:rolleyes:
I didn't say it was, I'm just saying I wouldn't blend them.
I didn't like the tone of the post.
I've never understood blending soups.
Chunky is king.
I don't blend all soups, just when it's required.
You can do both. Blended chestnut soup with a load of potato, carrot, some broad beans, and strips of beef thrown in is great. My aunt does it at Christmas every year, though being a vegetarian she omits the beef in her own pot, and it's always superb.
Both is fine, especially a pea and ham soup but I just don't get fully blended soups.
If your quinoa is crunchy then you're doing it wrong.Quote:

It wasn't that bad.
That looks horrific. :|
'I just picked the breakfast crap off.'
They were all on the side when it came out, mainly because it all fell apart. All the other burgers had Frazzles in too, but I didn't bother as that sounded a bit weird.
Yeah I agree, Frazzles do sound weird compared to a poptart.
Heron have got a job lot of this in, and, whilst the branding is nothing short horrific, the vanilla custard one is incredible. Has anybody had it?
Custard flavoured ice cream sounds all kinds of amazing, get it bought, I'll even send you some cash if the giro won't cover it.
I bought some (I'm eating it with apple crumble as we speak), because Heron is amazing and they're going for a quid a tub. Nobody else seems to be buying it because it's obviously too new and RADICAL, so I might pack the freezer with it. The dog likes ice cream and custard, so I'll say it's for him when he comes back.
How does custard flavoured ice cream work? Isn't ice cream essentially made from a custard base anyway (if done properly)?
It's in a tub and you eat it with a spoon.
Couldn't you do that with a tub of custard?
You certainly can with the excellent Alpro vanilla stuff.
Yes, I am a grown man.
I appreciate you're having your worldview challenged here, pops; but you need to get with it.Quote:

Less of that or I'll tell that Jane Austen on your money woman about your hate crimes.
I made custard once (for a large tart) and it is probably the greatest thing I have ever made.
After filling the pastry I sat in front of about 10 people at our house just eating the leftovers right from the pan. They probably all thought I was a cunt for not even letting them try but they'd have had to kill me to get to it.
I sometimes even buy those cold custard pots and eat them.

Not as great as the home-made stuff but it's still glorious.
Custard is dog shit. I'd rather have some of that flavouring they put in medicine to taste like Banana.
What kind of wrong'un doesn't like custard?
Yeah. Both were great.Quote:

Ah man, I always get this craving for Spring Quinoa Sallads.
That does sound delicious to be fair. I'd be tempted to grill a couple of chicky breasts, cut them in to strips and chuck them in too.Quote:

Does anyone here make their own ice cream? Trying blood orange ice cream (paired with dark chocolate ice cream makes for a chocolate orange master-class) on holiday has convinced me to buy a machine.
Possibly the wrong thread, but green tea and almond milk is pretty nice. Unsweetened isn't as good but healthier.
