What should I order in tonight?
I think ramen might be on the cards this evening.
I fancy a filthy burger or some battered things.
In scouser land they did the dodgy marked up booze in fucking ice cream vans, along with individual cigarettes and stuff. The rumour was always that they sold drugs but I'm unconvinced.
I remember once almost being tempted by "deliveroo off-license", when i was at a particularly low ebb but I managed to find the motivation to go to the garage instead. It was something hilarious like £8 for 4 330ml cans.
They sold drugs.
Anyone got a deep fryer? I've got one of those actifry air fryer things but it's buzzy loud and not hugely satisfying.
Quite fancy getting one of those proper individual deep fryers to make myself some deep fried chicken, fries and haggis balls.
Recommendations?
A deep fat fryer is a deep fat fryer. Just buy one with a thermostat and the size you require.
They're ok, but every time you use it you're left with a shit ton of oil to get rid of.
Fill plastic bottles with it and put them in the recycling.
You don't need to change the oil after every use.
But then you have a big thing of oil sat around in the kitchen. The associated faff is never worth it, unless you're using it every day in which case welcome to Scotland I suppose.
Put it in a cupboard.
I don't see how that's any better.
It's not taking up bench space. Most people store plenty of things they don't use everyday in their kitchen cupboards.
I don't care about space, a big pot of oil smells of oil and whatever you cooked in it.
If you used lard it would set (and not smell) once it cooled down and then you could just shove it anywhere.
I used to have one, I get how they work (and why they're rubbish unless you want a heart attack).
There's no other way to make an onion ring.
Yeah but onion rings aren't really things you should eat unless you're in a weatherspoons
Them sloppy fried onion rings are filth. Breadcrumbs or do one pal.
Why you're pretending to have owned one is what's hard to grasp.
I had one in my final year at university. I put on about 3 stone in 6 months.
Growing up it seemed like the “chip pan” (I assume this is a deep fat fryer) was out every night. I’m surprised I’m not a fatty.
I'm a twit
Here we go, wriggling out of it.
Let me get the ropes out of the cupboard and I'll get right on them.
If you've got a cupboard you could keep a fryer in it.
I'm on team Disco here. Just make oven chips for fuck sake. You don't need your house smelling like a chicken shop.
my mum refused to get a deep fat fryer because she was convinced I'd end up killing us both in a house fire. hard to argue with her, especially once i started drinking.
besides, proper chips are good but having to leave the house and pay for them keeps them sacred. it's the same reason i keep rejecting girls who want to be my girlfriend.
Yeah, that's why you're single.

Those great Walkers Max Hot crisps are on sale in Tesco at the moment. A quid for a big bag.
Those things are next level. The first chicken crisp that has ever tasted like actual chicken.
The chicken wings ones? We've established those are the worst* , Jim, keep up.
* I've not had and have been warned off the wasabi.
I've not even seen the wasabi ones, I'm informing the Countryside Alliance.
I haven't seen the Wasabi either, but the chicken wing ones are better than the chilli and lime or whatever that one is. I've stocked up on three big bags of chicken wing and three of jalapeńo and cheese.
I'd still have the chicken over any.
I'd foie gras with raw beef tonight as part of a starter. The former is revolting.
I rate the chicken ones as well. The co-op have them on bogoff at the moment. I respect the smack-you-in-the face quality of the cheese/jalapeno ones, but I think I prefer the chicken.
I find foie gras, like any offal (or derivative), can go either way. Most times I've had it on something it's been pretty shit, but every now and then you get someone who knows what they're doing and it's excellent.
