Tam Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Today's Telegraph had a feature I would like share with you all as it has shedly properties 😬 It's about todays burning issues so I throw the forum open for views on: Nigella or Delia 🤔 Jaffa: cake or biscuit 🤔 Batman or Spiderman 🤔 Strawberries or raspberries 🤔 Duvet or sheets 🤔 Prosche or Ferrari 🤔 (Sorry, pedal cars aren't an option even though they're the best cars on the planet ) Cheese 'n Onion or Salt 'n vinegar 🤔 and finally........

henry21p Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Nigella - delia is the source of all kitchen evils Jaffa Cake is a biscuit batman! or should I say Blatman strawberries... nasty nasty raspberries duvet - easier to make in the morning ferrari salt'n'vinegar stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hmmm, well I have been considering my options whilst jammed up against some total stranger in the tube and have to disagree on several counts Delia - Nigella is far too smug Jaffa is a cake - you can't dunk it, ergo not a biscuit Batman Raspberries taste lovely BUT the pips are the devils own work so Strawberries probably win Duvet Ferrari Cheese n onion (S 'n V crisps make my eyes water 😳) Walk on the underground, stand in shopping centres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 At the risk of being a tedious techno-trousers, the Jaffa Cake is a cake. It was proved as such to a VAT tribunal in a celebrated case where McVities baked an enormous Jaffa cake in order to prove its cakey properties.

I.Mupferit Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Can't agree on the crisps Dave. Cheese & Onion are the only flavour to go for...........just sublime. And whilst on this subject, why oh why can't Walkers understand that cheese & onion crisps come in green coloured packs ❗ Not blue, that is reserved for the lesser salt & vinegar variety.........always was, always will be or should be anyhow When I'm in need of a quick cheese & onion fix, I don't want to be messing about checking the contents. I just want to run by and grab the traditionally colour coded green pack, tear it open and revel in the luxuriant perfume of ..........cheese & onion, not the 'in yer face' salt & flaming vinegar AAAaaarrrggghhh Oh and Batman rules, as do duvets *thumbup* *thumbup* *thumbup* Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV.

Meldrew Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 In answer to the remaining questions: Delia for recipe books, Nigella for eye candy. Batman. *KER-POW!* Raspberries Duvet Porsche. 911GT3, please, though a plain Carrera will do fine. Or a 911RS. Or a 993. Or a 964 RS. I'm not too fussy. Salt and Vinegar, but only with beer. Ready Salted for plain eating. WALK for God's sake! You don't stand about on staircases do you? Why should escalators be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 For the remainder:- Agree with Meldrew, Nigella for eye candy and Delia for homely cook books Ferrari Strawberries Stand on escalators (you don't havs a dog and bark yourself) Biscuits for dunking, Jaffas for pigging out.

Hibster. Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 "jammed up against some total stranger" And they provide services like that within the cost of the ticket ???, it's no wonder that the train services are so poor. I'm going to write to Ken and complain that's he's providing sexual gratification for these so called "total strangers" from Londoners taxes Supercheese R250 Caterham pictures here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Delia is OK pre 1985, when she stuck to good old fashioned things. Anything after that is an abomination. Her "authentic" ragu is anything but, and trying to make something chinese by waving a spring onion at it is why we Brits have such a poor reputaion for cooking. 20 minute "Cheats" versions of things that take a long time are always 🙆🏻 Her sticky toffee puddings are though. How do we stand on the new Walkers "sensations" crisps ? The birth of the Gixxerham : pics here drivel here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 You mean Delia has done anything since 1985? Oh. Wouldn't rely on either of them to cook anything Chinese, anyway, and I agree that Delia's ragu is 🙆🏻. Add to that the desire to cook risotto as though it were a rice pudding. I just wouldn't want Nigella distracted by faffing around in the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Nigella does admit to using Delia recipes...ask Alex about the time he was working in London and Nigella answered the door to him... 😬 (although don't ask him today, because he's on site and won't reply 😬 ) Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Add to that the desire to cook risotto as though it were a rice pudding. Unintentional authenticity from our Delia there.

Meldrew Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Well, you learn a thing a day. That's my quota filled quote early on and I can now go back to walking about with my head up my 🙆🏻. Suffocated risotto doesn't sound too good, though. What next? Strangled lasagne? Asphyxiated canelloni? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbell Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Nigella or Delia Jaffa: cake or biscuit Batman or Spiderman who cares Strawberries or raspberries Duvet or sheets Prosche or Ferrari (Sorry, pedal cars aren't an option even though they're the best cars on the planet) Cheese 'n Onion or Salt 'n vinegar and finally........ Escalators: stand or walk depends on how lazy I feel.....if its a travelator then definitely walk Simon Bell - Caterham 7 Duratec R I`ve seen the future.....and it`s powered by duratec Check out the website here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Oh, and Paul. There is a worrying perv quotient on the Tube but if I see stange trousers I make a point of getting in the next carriage ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 A quick google reveals Strozzapretti pasta means "Strangled priest" 😳 I love the Italian names for foods, Ciabatta sounds so much tastier than Slipper Am hungry now, sadly off to Germany in an hour, not Italy, so likely to remain that way ☹️ The birth of the Gixxerham : pics here drivel here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 It has to be Delia, especially for the grounding in basic recipes. Delberta and I cooked the Classic Victoria sponge that she has asked me to share with you all. I think you will find that is moist and tasty Obviously Batman as he has dealt with his sexuallity, apparently, alledgeedly, well its rumored 😬 And (for those that know my racing snake phisieque) I RUN up escalators. 😬 Cheese and Onion EVIL When you realise the worlds not nice just drop your pants and slide on the ice!!!

Mrs GTD Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I have to disagree Meldrew. Delia's risotto is great, particularly if you have friends round, and don't want to be the one stuck in the kitchen ladeling stock onto the arborio... So... Delia (Nigella should stick to what she's best at - soft porn ) Jaffa cakes - who cares? Strawberries AND raspberries please Duvet if I'm making the bed, Irish linen sheets if it's someone else 😬 1963 Porsche (or Ferrari) Salt 'n Vinegar (those hand cooked ones with Balsamic - mmmmm ) Stand (particularly if I'm in high heels) Mrs GTD Carbonette - patches that make it easy to say NO to carbon fibre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonie Hound Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Dear IT department please invoice Mrs GTD for new keyboard after Nigella slur 😬...on second thoughts don't as they will only take it out of my chimmney sweeping pay...if they actually paid me. Nigella every time - (Alex do tell) - The Food channel had a whole day of Nigella on Father's Day - now that's a TV exec who understands his market. Jaffa is a cake - but I would rather eat my own leg I spent my childhood wanting to be Spiderman - unfortunately I never found a radioactive spider to bite me. Raspberries - only because it's the name of a childish noise Duvet - King Size I think I'd have to have a Ferrari - although the Boxer is V-nice Cheese and Onion Escalators are the devils work and are hauled by slave gangs of pixies using magic. What other explanantion could there be for stairs that move and fold. My party trick in my mountain marathon days was to run up the stairs now in my twix and maraton days I prefer to stand and wheeze and allow the pixies to do the work.

I.Mupferit Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Gotta be Batman not least because he drives an outrageous car 😬 And Adam West now works for a company in Southampton buying ducting from me. 😬 Well I assume it must be the same person who played Batman although I have to admit he has lost his camp American accent and has shrunk by about 18" and lost a few stone in weight and obviously had cosmetic surgery as he looks 40 years younger and totally different features. Apart from that he's the image of him Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV.

Meldrew Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I didn't realise that about pixies, Boonie. That would explain why there are so few of them around these days. Noger - I didn't realise that about Strozzapretti. Dangerous stuff, Italian food. I suppose that goes alongside that Turkish dish named after a feinting imam. I do like Saltimbocca = "jumps into the mouth". 😬 Dolcelatte "sweet milk" is nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
