I bought a loaf of Jason’s sourdough and froze it to use for toast then ending up throwing it away because I thought it tasted off. I’ve just bought a fresh loaf of it and still think it doesn’t taste right. I normally love sourdough and all other forms of bread but this one just does not do it for me!
I have a child who drinks almost exclusively lemon squash. He has tummy troubles and the gastroenterologist has suggested (amongst other things) moving to squash without artificial sweetners.
I've had a look and the best I can find is Rocks, and this looks about 20x the price per portion of normal no added sugar squash.
Any suggestions of affordable brands or do they no longer exist?
It seems to strongly divide opinion, and it's advocates especially can be quite partisan.
I personally think a lot of their success stems from canny marketing and branding (and the ubiquity of their product, which ironically means they have to be more commercialised producers) rather than outstanding products.
Ended up having the chocolate cups another 2 times
Edit for more info
Photo 1: The Cross Keys - English breakfast and sausage sandwich
Photo 2: The Biga+ - Garlic bun and cannoli (didn’t taste the freshest but not awful)
Photo 3: Monk Bar Chocolatiers - melted chocolate cups (highly recommend!). They also do their own range of chocolates and offer a 6 pack of these to diy at home.
Photo 4: Clucking Oinks at Spark - The Rodeo and a Nashville burger (very tender and fresh)
Photo 5: Heavenly Desserts - chocolate crepe and ice cream
Photo 6-7: Fancy Hanks - Bloomer onion, pork belly bites, chicken tenders, and Mac n cheese bites (all tasted tender, fresh, ended up over-ordering so couldn’t finish it all. Also too heavy of a meal for lunch but very taste nonetheless)
The first image is from a tasty pub in the Midwest. I was actually impressed, well, except for the mushy peas. Even the creamed cabbage was delightful. The scotch egg were divine.
So I decided to put it on my menu.
The third ave fourth pic is as plated at the pub at which I was chef.
Yes, traditionally onion gravy. Which I adore.
But Americans (many, not all) aren’t fond of the aesthetic of a great onion gravy. So this gravy is made from our house beef stock, thyme and rosemary from my garden, and thickened with starch slurry
but tesco usually specifies when a product is new, so i’m assuming i just had never seen
edit: i already understand every literal soul has had it but me hahahah
A couple of weeks back my girlfriend made a focaccia, which was very tasty.
This week it was my turn. So, I did a 48 hour cold prove in the fridge and this is how it turned out.
Sampled at the Bute Arms, Aberdare, South Wales.
3 sausage, 3 bacon, 3 eggs, 3 hash browns, 2 black pudding, 2 fried slice, mushrooms, beans, 2 tiger bread toast and a mug of tea, all for the princely sum of £12.
Don’t be put off by the olive oil, it’s in name only. It really does taste like the most amazing creamy pure ice cream. Divine with strawberry’s. It’s how I want white chocolate to taste. Highly recommend!!
Slow cooked for 5 hours then left in the fridge overnight. Served with rigatoni and grated parmesan.
The pies were an impulse buy. The samosas are veg, so that makes it healthy, no?
All from Aldi, total cost for two plates: £8.08p, and I didn't use all the cucumbers and radishes
Hello!
I think this counts as a celebration of British food, but feel free to delete if that's a bit of a stretch! I'm originally from Grimsby so consider myself to be something of a fish and chips connoisseur. I really love scraps, but unfortunately I've lived in a relative scraps desert (Manchester) for the last 20 years.
Me and my mate have been talking about the regional availability of scraps for years and we thought it'd be fun to create an app where you could mark whether fish and chip shops sold [edit: people are annoyed that I’ve implied scraps are ”sold” - I guess I meant ”served”!] scraps or not on some kind of map. I only got around to making a little website earlier this year. There's been a load of contributions but they've dried up a bit recently, hence me posting on here.
Anyway, here's the site: https://scrapp.cc/. I think it's fairly self explanatory! I'm not just interested in shops that do sell scraps, I'm also interested in the shops that definitely don't.
If people just want to say where their favourite fish and chip shops are I'm also here for that. Top 4 for me off the top of my head are:
- Marklews in Cleethorpes or Grimsby
- Steels in Cleethorpes
- Hanbury's in Babbacombe
- Happy's in Chesterfield
