❓🤷‍♀️ How did this become a thing?

Back to the original now… Salted Caramel.

If it was marketed by Worthers as in “Worthers Salted Caramel” I would suspect it was a covert government sponsored conspiracy to create a dangerously unhealthy confectionary to increase the mortality rate of us superannuated folk.

By that token I won’t be touching any of the stuff. :lou_angry:

Cloudy eggs. Poached eggs with a meringue type surround (without the sugar). I blame the freaking Hipsters.

If I’m about, at home on Saturday night I will be watching “The Eurovision Song Contest” as usual.

Just to make the evening more palitable, I won’t have listened to any of the “songs”. I always give that bit a miss but enjoy the voting process. The political and racial bias is staggering along with the hilarious attendant highs and lows of the ever hopeful contestants.

Now that Brexit has had time to sink in I’m forecasting “ROYAUME-UNI… Nul Points”

Just googled Gordon Ramsay’s Jizz cake recipe, no results :slight_frown: Thought it would be a cool surprise pudding for Sunday. You can’t buy his jizz in my local Sainsburys though … As I discovered.

Cheers Dude, your username has me worried though :astonished:

The description and review are great.

Product Description.

Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food. This book hopes to change that. Once you overcome any initial hesitation, you will be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients - you will love this cookbook!

Review.

This recipe book is very practical, it saves on tissues and allows me to use all of my natural harvest and put it to a good use, whereas otherwise it would get wasted. - review on lulu.com

Pro tip … Use olive oil for a stir fry rather than adding your own “man juice” to the equation.

I once worked for a company that built a new studio for the sculptor, Anthony Gormley. It was a difficult job and lost a few bob, but some of the lads were invited to the opening, which was filled with YBA’s and the great and good of the British art scene. Gormley showed off some paintings he had done using his semen as a base for the “paint”. They weren’t that good to be fair and he didn’t like it when one of the boys said, “Well, you could say that it’s a load of old wank, then”

Philistines, the lot of us.

School proms.

When did they become a ‘thing’? When I finished at Henry Beaufort, we had a crappy school disco in the sports hall. It was pathetic in the way only the British can make something truly pathetic. But, frankly, that was all we needed. Plenty of us went on to Peter Symonds and those who didn’t were probably only too glad to see the back of that school.

16-year-olds getting all tarted up and hiring limousines to go to some prom frankly seems a bit weird to me. I guess I became aware of it when my nieces finished school a few years back In some ways, what they were doing seemed even more pathetic than that dreadful disco all those years back at Henry Beaufort.

Look at this.

Midsommer Norton. All these kids dressed up and parading around that dismal town in the middle of nowhere in Somerset. You too can have your limo drive past the bleak coal tips left over from the coal-mining heyday. Maybe it is all to blot out the dreadfulness of their existence….

Hasn’t salted taffy been about for ages and is rumoured to have started when a sweetshop was flooded with sea water and the woman sold it as salted rather than throwing it away.

Just been over my friends house in Ashurst and he’s complaining about his daughter’s Prom Night. A load of fuckin’ American rubbish he says. His other daughter’s Prom dress cost £250 two years ago…it sold on Ebay for £30 after the event.

This year his daughter wants to go in his 1931 Lagonda with 3 of her friends in his VW Split Screen Bus…he’s not happy at all.

The seniors at my school had a disco and film night in 1965…the film was “High Noon”…we were not impressed but on the Bathsaint scale of naffness it would have rated quite highly.

I went to Noadswood and we had books which even had words in them and punctuation in the right places…mostly.

We looked down on everyone from Applemore, Hardley and Testwood.
