Re: Foodies In The News
Would you freeze Pop Tarts? (I wouldn’t buy them in the first place).

Re: Foodies In The News
Is it a slow news day? What a ridiculous article!
No, I've never bought PopTarts because I haven't owned a pop-up toaster since 1985. I don't think I'll bother with the frozen ones.

Re: Foodies In The News
Not really Foodies in the News but news all the same. It was never a secret that things might be difficult as we eased into 'Brexit'. The most ardent supporters agreed that things could be tough as adjustments were made. I respect the democratic vote and that the pandemic was an additional and unexpected spanner in the works.
I do not respect that it was obvious that a drain on the workforce would lead to supply issues right from farm to fork and yet no provision was made. It won't hurt anyone living above the breadline to have less choice but to waste food and animal lives seems to me unforgivable for so many reasons. What is the best quick course of action? I really don't know.

My entire family is speechless with anger EM.
And as for Foodies in the News ... I reckon these lads fit that description ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland- ... d-58341247
If anyone needs hot puddings in the winter, I reckon the residents of Orkney do. Brrrrr!

I spotted this yesterday, quite right too - school dinner puddings with custard are wonderful and sounds as though Mrs Moir is well respected for them.
A couple of years ago the out of school care group Managers were invited to one of the local schools to deliver informal sessions to the staff on learning through outdoor play. A new head teacher had taken over and wanted to use their expertise (a real compliment ) in the conversations to set them up the head suggested they came on a Friday as it was "custard" day and that was not to be missed. Needless to say they went on a Friday

Re: Foodies In The News
Wonderful ltc! What would school be without custard?
Re: Foodies In The News
School dinners may be the only time youngsters get the chance to have traditional British puddings … what with most families having two working parents who has the time for making steamed or baked puddings?
Re: Foodies In The News
It’s the only time in my life when I regularly had a two course meal. Puddings always were, and still are, more of a high day and holidays thing, or visitors. As a rule pudding is a piece of fruit at the most.
Proper school dinners with pudding and custard were wonderful.

Re: Foodies In The News
Rarely do we have puddings, but the balanced meals of my childhood included the nectar of custard. Oh joy!
As for the lack of lorry drivers, Business Secretary ain’t budging. I read in the week one company is buying smaller lorries that can be driven on a car licence.

Re: Foodies In The News
Ah no doubt the origin of the infamous Scottish chippy deep fried pizza aka "Pizza Crunch". Not for the faint hearted but surprisingly good!

And probably the origin of Navajo frybread

Re: Foodies In The News
The big difference between deep fried pizza and the pizzettes (?) or fry bread is that the latter two contain normal proportions of the food groups and, if eaten sensibly, are quite acceptable whereas deep fried pizza has double carbs and extra fat for no good reason. I imagine they all taste nice.

I think so, EM. I think the pizza is part of the *battered anything at all* repertoire.

Re: Foodies In The News
Battering the pizza is a recent trend, it used just be a slightly less calorific unbattered frozen pizza bunged in the fryer - came in two types "cheese and onion" or "cheese and mushroom". Can't say I've tried the battered version (and have no intention of lol) but the unbattered ones were really good in the days before we knew what proper pizza was! Most chippies used to sell deep fried steak and scotch pies too which I suspect were just as calorific! I find it interesting that the rather lovely sounding pizzettes are most likely the origin of the chippy stodge-fest.
