I often mixed peas with corn but never had gravy, but if the hipster brigade says no then I'm all on it.

There aren't many foodstuffs that won't be improved by the addition of gravy.
Sweetcorn and gravy is perfectly normal in my house, so you're not alone Ian. I imagine that will trouble you, rather than comfort you, soz.
If you're having mash with a roast then it has to be Swede. Adding carrot is forgivable.
I do like a bit of turnip but I'd rather none of my vegetables mashed.
Bang into French toast at the moment. Decadent yet fresh.
Made this yesterday with a three quid shoulder of pork I got at the supermarket:

Fucking delicious. I used wholegrain mustard that also had chilli through it.
I'm all for a bit of effort for results but check the nick of this-
Hadn't got sound on, but that ice bath looks like salmonella in the making.
Anything that survives that deserves to kill him, to be fair.
It's a bit faffy, but it's not actually a lot of effort and it's got no mad ingredients or anything.
It's more the fact that the end result doesn't even look particularly crispy (if you can be arsed to watch part 2) given the time in advance you're having to do everything.
I think I prefer this method.
Most pathetic tea you've had recently?
In a proper case of 'seriously cannot be fucked', I've just had 8 hot dogs in a bowl with mustard and tomato sauce and nothing else. Pathetic yet fantastic.
Haven't had hot dogs in years, never disappoint.
A while back I slung a six pack of those supermarket mini sausage rolls in the oven and just ate them on their, and my, own. It's degenerate and glorious in equal measure.
I love most teas that people would consider pathetic. Nothing better than flaking a load of stuff into the oven.
What type of hotdogs are we talking here?

I'm pleased to say the lamb tagine is fantastic though.
Jesus, in a can as well.
No half measures.
It's not as if the ones that aren't in a can are gourmet anyway.
That's a proper dinner.
Tonight I had baked beans with a load of cheese through it and some sausages chucked in.
I think my best "what the fuck can I eat with little effort" meal was a lunch I had one weekend where because they were the only three things I had in I put potato wedges in the oven, slung a tub of Bombay potatoes over them and covered the lot with cheese. It was glorious.
Tinned hotdogs are just wrong.
Yeah, the slightly fancier (more expensive) ones probably aren't much better in terms of % pig's anus, but they are less abhorrent in both taste and texture terms.
And what is a gudgen when it's at home?
Indeed.
Those Mash Direct onion rings are class. They also have savage beer battered chips and potato cakes.
Not recently but about fifteen years ago, when my parents were on holiday they used to leave me and @Mike money for food. Every night we’d either order a pizza or go the chippy. One time we either ran out of money or just couldn’t be arsed, so I had an iced lolly for my tea.

I'm a twit
I used to eat packs of jelly cubes without turning it into jelly. 16p meal.
I'd still do that
That's the only way to eat jelly
We all used to do that at school circa 2003. What a time to be alive.
Nicking jelly from the commissary
That's what the boarders larder was called. Take it up with some victorians if you like.
When I used to go and play cricket away at places like Harrow (with my fellow day school oiks), some of the vocabulary used was genuinely baffling. Then I read a biography of Douglas Jardine recently in which it states that at Winchester they have to learn a whole other nonsense language called 'Notions'. For instance, P.E. is 'Ekker', toilet is 'Fo', expelled is 'Firked' and so on.
No wonder parliament is full of wankers.
Yeah there's a chunk of that stuff in Boy by Roald Dahl when he's talking about public school, but I dunno if that's specific to the ones he was at or if they're common across public schools in general. Boazers for prefects, 'fagging' for the kids who were basically prefects gofers in all sorts of demented ways, etc. Those sorts of collections of slang are interesting but yeah, it's basically a breeding ground for cuntery.
Edit: Google reminds me of "Graggers" for congratulations.

Fags/fagging is pretty universal I would think. The other stuff less so, I know we had different terminology based on what house or team you were in.
God I can't wait till Corbyn closes down all the private schools.
Didn't he go to one?
You mean public schools anyway, they're the really dickhead ones.
Look at Sir Boyd of Oxbridge letting those rich folk have it.
So disingenuous. A real leftie would vote for Spikey to show his loyalties are true.
