Maybe you're too dense.
Oh snap.
There is a shop in Hull that does mega brownies like that and they've had to make them smaller (and cheaper fair play lad) because people were bealing that they were 'too much'. No Surrender.
I didn't know that 'bealing' was used anywhere other than Scotland.
I used to make super dense brownies and eat them with custard, probably shortened my life considerably but they were damn good.
I didn't know it was used beyond Yorkshire, so brownies have brought the Union closer together here. lol at Boyd.
Brownies have brought the Union closer together, and now Brexit babies want to end that. Shameful
Nigel Slater's brownie recipe on the guardian website is transcendental.
"Transcendental"
GTFO
I don't want it to be transcendental. I want it to be a delicious little heap of chocolatey stodge.
Then you're getting the wrong ones.Originally Posted by Boydy
Or that.
Same thing.
Brownies are amazing and @Baz brings shame on the whole family whenever his wrong opinion comes up.
My girlfriend makes vegan brownies using chia seeds as a replacement for the egg. It sounds like fucking nonsense but they are really pretty special. Incredibly gooey.
Surely it's just the amount of chocolate you use and the length of time you bake them for that determines 'gooey-ness'?
I found the way you make the actual mixture makes the difference, the bits of solid chocolate just get lobbed in at the end.
A good brownie needs a decent amount of salt in it too, to offset the sweetness
I sold out within two hours.Any suggestions for a starter special that involves swordfish, chaps?
Today I'm making marinaded chicken satay skewers with a peanut butter dipping sauce.
Downsides though, I ordered 9cm skewers off Amazon for them and turns out they were much smaller than I anticipated and the one comment that I did get back was that they felt it was a little too salty which I put down to the Soy. I made the marinade then I made the dipping sauce which used the exact same ingredients as the marinade plus the peanut butter. In hindsight I should have coated them in the dip as opposed to serving it in a little pot whilst just char-grilling the skewers as it would have taken away some of the saltiness.
I didn't find anything for the swordfish and it got thrown out eventually, not too much, thankfully.
Surely if push comes to shove you don't do anything fancy with it so much as you just fry it up as a steak or do it in a parcel or something with some seasoning and herbs?
Just binning it seems a waste.
Its a shame there was no way to tell how big they were, before you got them.
I'm a twit
Smiff is famous for over estimating length.
9cm?
That can't be much bigger than a toothpick.
I thought they were 9inch you cunt lol
Misty Ricardos Rogan Josh with the topping (didn’t have cherry tomatoes)
I went for cheeseburger and chips today ('All of our burgers are gourmet' - doesn't say what), and it's another winner. If it had been on a board in a pub with some wank salad and a flag stuck in it you would have been paying twelve quid; but because they just dump it on a plate you can have it for six fifty.
Looks cracking. I did the Bhuna tonight, absolute piece of piss with the base and onion paste already made.Misty Ricardos Rogan Josh with the topping (didn’t have cherry tomatoes)
It’s so handy with everything ready. I love that bhuna too, the green pepper comes through so much more than you’d think.
It took me years to appreciate capsicum as a flavour, whether it's completely mild or searing hot. The Mexicans seemed to grasp it centuries ago.
Got bored of only having a microwave (fuck the slow cooker) so bought a George Foreman grill as well as a dual electric hob.
Haven't used the hob yet (need to get pans from the storage locker or just buy another) but it was so good to grill a bit of pork and veg.
What's odder: Only having a microwave or not having a microwave? Because I get some questionable remarks for the latter.
Why would you not have a microwave? Admittedly ours gets more use as a makeshift breadbin than as a tool for cooking, but they cost fuck all and they serve a purpose.
I only have a microwave because our kitchen isn't done (or any room for that matter) and will be one of the last rooms done in the house.
Someone refusing to have a microwave is just being massively pretentious.
The oven was there when I moved in and the stuff I buy has instructions for both. It's not a refusal if I don't necessarily need one.
I don't have one but it's not some lifestyle choice, I never use them so why would I buy one.
Oh yeah that's normal enough, no point in going out for something you've never wanted. I meant the twats who SIMPLY COULDN'T have one near them at all.
I had one, then it broke, and realized that we didn't really need it, so didn't have one for a few years. Our new apartment has one, so now we have one again, but we have yet to use it.
My parents are oddballs so the first time I used a microwave was at university. I have one now and I think the only time I use it is to heat up rice.
My parents used theirs religiously. Microwaved bacon is awful. And chicken, too.
They cook bacon and chicken in the microwave?
That can't be serious?
I only ever used mine for three things:
1. Rice
2. Porridge
3. Chocolate nesquick
Since I moved a couple of months ago, I've coped well enough with a microwave. But they're handy for defrosting, reheating, the odd ready meal, etc. I'm not one for treating it like a replacement for a traditional oven, hobs, and so on. After watching my mum microwave bacon for years and it just looking like flabby er=urghrhrhness, I found that if you microwave streaky bacon and give it a good 3-4 mins, it will crisp up.
Stop microwaving bacon you fucking 'spergers.
Bacon in the microwave
Fucking asylum-dwellers.
It actually doesn't do it too badly if you want it quickly. Upside down bowl and drape the rashers across it.
That's the thing. I like bacon with a little crisp to it. The microwave just turns it into a soaked mess. As for chicken, I never got why my parents did that. They did have microwave cookbooks which probably explains it. It doesn't even save time to do it that way. Fucking boomers.
Oh yeah, it’s only if you need a quick bit to fire into a omelette or something where it doesn’t matter how it’s cooked. I’m grilling it if I want to eat it as bacon (or frying it if I’ve beans).
Chicken? No.
I had no idea this was even a thing. My whole world view is crumbling.
I tried microwave bacon once.
It will go crispy if given enough time but it just doesn't taste quite right.
