In the UK nose to tail cooking is less common now. Haggis & black pudding are still common, as are kidneys & liver, but heart, tripe & lights less so. As kids we’d often have such food - cheap & tasty. I feel these days that visceral association with the sacrifice of living animals has been lost

That’s the trouble with good local shops…too tempting to just pop in🤣. The idea of a
‘15 minute city’ is essentially a model we wholeheartedly support - we’ve seen the concept work very well in Asia and elsewhere in Europe, and that’s essentially how we live here too.

Home - The Cheeseboard Cheeseboards, cheese gifts, cheese evenings and cheese subscriptions - from our shop in Greenwich, London since 1985

We have a fabulous local deli (www.cheese-board.co.uk) that sells yoghurts, mile, cheese etc…but you do pay a premium. For something like milk we just get it from the local supermarket

Wow! You still get milk delivered! I must admit the large 4 or 6 pint containers from the supermarket seem to have good shelf life these days and easily last us a week. I still love ‘long bottle’ steri milk though with cereal…but haven’t seen it for a while now.

I think of all the Bordeaux I’ve drunk…and none has been disappointing 🍷😁

Yes - my own pudgy fingers were a bit imprecise in my phone…but I was pretty pleased with my guesses!

It’s definitely weird the way BSky posts Insta links…I need to sort that out

If they did bite sized versions that would be perfect…

How often do you get a hypo.? I think my wife is in range normally about 90% - normally dropping below 3.5 when she over estimates the insulin, or it drops quicker than expected after a heavy weight lifting session. Average hba1c was 4.9 - hitting the target they set, then they changed the target😳

The penguin parade in Edinburgh was one of my most favourite day trips as a kid! I totally agree with your sentiment too👍

My only complaint…the bread is cut a touch thin for my liking. My gran had a talent for cutting bread like that too…microns thick

You’re right - imho it is an absolute scam! However we got the prime membership for the faster delivery, which is still the core product - although even that has been downgrade too, as you have to (sometimes) spend £20 to get the same day delivery now (it’s still a very handy service though)

It’s been an absolutely superb series so far (I’ve still a few episodes to watch) - far exceeded my expectations…

I seem to recall that she came across a little like that even in her cooking show…

It so infuriates me that Amazon downgraded the (paid for!) Prime service to now have to suffer so many damn adverts…watching Young Sherlock and the ads are almost every 10minutes😭. Money grabbing twats…

It’s amazing to think she was one of the first TV chefs I ever watched…although Graham Kerr’s show (The Galloping Gourmet) must have been around the same time

Maybe my wife & I shouldn’t have watched the first 5 episodes in one sitting, and spread it out a little🤣

It’s an excellent romp so far…very enjoyable 👍

Not yet…decided that Pursuit of Jade on iQIYI looked far more fun (and the first few episodes have turned out to be exactly that 👍)

Jealous…will have to make some time for a weekend or two away. We normally stay in Broadway and take day sojourns around the area

The top part of the image shows a man in a blue blazer presenting a packing in front of him. The text to the right of the image says “TCP”. The lower part of the image shows a man in a red t-shirt and shorts kicking a parcel towards a house. The text to the right of the image says “ UDP”

Shamelessly stolen…I wish I could thank whoever concocted this…it’s brilliant🫢🤣

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
