We bought this recently. Fucking hell it's good.

[Disco]

We need a new official 'watch' so we know when Lewis is fatter than his dog.

[Lewis]

Brock is solid, and I'm not too bad either.

I made some chocolate and blood orange marshmallows and they were the tits. It's a top combo.

The quite excellent Heron

First time anyone's ever thought, said or wrote that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't know what Heron is. Some sort of yeoman's Budgens?

[igor_balis]

It is how Nas pronounces heroin.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The quite excellent Heron are doing tubs of this for a quid. It is really good in its own right, if more like a frozen creamy thing than actual ice cream, but look at the nutritional value of it. Why hasn't it taken over the world? Even at its lol actual price you would expect wankers to be falling over themselves to buy it if that vitamin water bollocks has a market.

Bought their mint choc swirl today (at Waitrose because what even is Heron?) as they were sold out of the salted caramel one and I think it's brilliant. Especially when you get a nice bit of chocolate sauce on your spoon as they've used a really intense chocolate for it.

[Baz]

Says a lot about a man if he's never heard of Heron.

[Disco]

He lives in a nice part of the country?

[Giggles]

Along with Morrisons, Aldi, and Waitrose, they must never have made it as far as NI either. Never heard of it.

These go together rather well as it turns out-

The roast chicken tastes far better than I was expecting, that's without the bacon too.

Five Guys has opened here and naturally everyone is losing their minds and queueing down the street. Just had a look at the menu, it's €18.90 for a burger, a cup of chips, and a milkshake. Sweet mother of Christ.

I went there on Saturday. £10 for a burger and some fries. The burger was fucking nice in fairness, but not worth that much. Middle-class McDonald's, basically.

[Giggles]

It's madness when every second place is doing a big proper burger for far less these days.

This chain should spread its wings and go international:

It's the only chain burger I've had in years and it was quality.

Bought this book a while ago (which is brilliant, as is his other one):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Couture-Cho.../dp/1906417598

and finally had my first go at making chocolates yesterday after the gf got me some equipment for my birthday.

Not perfect and definitely learnt some things for next time, but I was pretty pleased.



Sorry for the crappy photo, only got my phone camera which sucks.

[Boydy]

Looks like a crap rolo.

[randomlegend]

Oh fuck off

[Lewis]

Tasteless mush held together by an even crappier shell. Call them 'Randrews'.

[niko_cee]

I'm sure they've been mentioned on here before, but these Snyder's pretzel pieces things are awesome. They're like vegetarian pork scratchings.

On the flipside, co-op spicy cheese is rank bad. Not a patch on the ASDA equivalent. Maybe it's just being blown out of the water by the jalapeno Snyder bits.

I've left a frozen pizza in the fridge a bit too long and it's turned into an absolutely doughy mess. I've turned it into some monstrosity of a wrap and shoved it in a baking tin. I can't wait.

[Giggles]

George Foreman is the king for that kind of shit.

[Adamski]

As a calzone @Giggles? Sounds awesome.

[Disco]

So what you've basically done is made it irrevocably worse rather than salvaging it.

[Adamski]

@John @Ian have you seen the Bread Meats Bread west end menu?

[Ian]

Bread Meats Bread is one of the burger places in Glasgow I've not been to (I was always a Burger Meats Bun man, RIP in pieces) but my Google-fu is weak, I've failed to find a menu that looks like it's specifically for the West End one.

Have any of the Glasgow lot tried Pizza Punks yet? The name/branding annoy me before I've even gone in but the food and drink itself sounds promising.

[randomlegend]

We went to bread meats bread when we stayed in Glasgow at New Year. It was roight good.

[phonics]

It was so good, it was like home made garlic bread but with cheese and pepperoni and chilli's. I recommend it.

Yeah burger meats bun was my favourite too. Gutted when it closed down.

West end menu is here: https://www.facebook.com/jamesvsburg...00420776732721

I haven't tried pizza punks yet, it sounds really annoying. It'll have to go some way to beat Paesano or Nomad.

[Ian]

Went to Slouch last night. Beer is overpriced but the food was decent. I had "The Whole Enchilada", which was just a massive bastard of an enchilada. Was nice.

[Boydy]

I've got some pork shoulder steaks I want to cook tomorrow night. Anyone got any ideas for something interesting to do with them?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Do Molton's chicken and pasta but with pork as the protein.

[Boydy]

I was hopeful you were gonna have something good for me when I saw you'd replied.

Dickhead.

Gonna make some sort of Szechuan pork providing I can find Szechuan peppercorns in Tesco or Sainsbury's.

[Lewis]

I tried a macaro[o]n earlier for the first time. How has that shit taken over?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Because they're amazing.

You probably tried a shit one, ask RL he'll make you some.

The added sweat will enhance the flavour.

[Lewis]

Whoever walks into a cake shop and orders those over actual biscuits/cakes is a complete cunt.

[Boydy]

They've 'taken over'?

[randomlegend]

They have got quite 'fashionable' recently I think. Good ones are nice but I'm not super fussed with them.

[Magic]

Anyone cooked Brown mince within its sell by date? Smelled ok.

[Pepe]

Rip Magic.

[John]

Bin it.

[niko_cee]

Isn't meat meant to be brown?

[Disco]

Beef mince goes brown once the air gets to it. Depending on how you've stored it it should be ok.

[Magic]

It was in the fridge the whole time until I made bolognese, which has subsequently been frozen.

[Disco]

You're going to die.

[John]

Mince is cheap, bin it and buy more. Is it worth risking food poisoning for the sake of a fiver?

[Magic]

If you take in to account the ancillary ingredients it probably is worth the food poisoning. Just because it's 'out of curiosity' I've invited my two sisters and my brother up. If they get sick too then it definitely was the mince.

[John]

Ah, so you used it first then decided to check if it would kill you. A good order in which to do things.

[Magic]

Well, I did check all the forums. Some saying bin and some saying use it's fine. It smelt 'mincier' and possibly more irony but definitely not acidic or sour.
