Well done Mr Flumps!!! That's great to hear - what a load off your mind
YES! It's no coincidence that it's the MAN upstairs who keeps putting his foot down, if it was up to his partner she'd probably just say 'go for it'. It's the reason that he seems to get automatic veto here too - I'm a single woman and so is downstairs and he seems to think he can run roughshod over us. I've only been here a couple of years so I've kind of been keeping my head down and attempting not to start any arguments (he was super fucked off when I got my dog and I didn't want to start causing any more problems), but it's really annoying having to deal with the patriarchy in action in my home space, esp. as I have deliberately tried to set up my life without such irritants!Life would be so much easier living with a woman with taste wouldn't it.
Are they thick? I don't like a thick crisp, hate Kettle Chips and not keen on normal McCoy's.For the salt and vinegar fans, I thoroughly recommend McCoys Chip Shop Salt & Vinegar Chips.
I am so loving living vicariously through your en vacance adventures.Congrats to Mr Flumps and that cake is amazing
I don't wish to disappoint my fraus but I really didn't fancy any heavy French food tonight as I am still feeling un petit *delicate* so I'm eating dan dan noodles in bed with iced mochi and Anthony Bourdain.

The ham and pickle were the dug’s baws!!!!ETA: I wish you could still get Brannigan's roast beef and mustard, and they also didan amazing ham and pickle flavour too I seem to recall.
Sorry am mid mini Grunka - pickled onion monster munch and space raiders were a major craving in early pregnancy - as in I had to ration myself or I’d just eat them en masse. Now I can’t stand them, and can so smell exactly what you’re describing .Crisps it's all about the McCoys Ridge Cut Salt & Vinegar.
100% agree with the above. Oh and Monster Munch. People always seem to open a pack of Monster Munch in the one space the smell will not diffuse #8 you're stuck with pickled onion flavour attacking your nostrils.
I have gravy ring news!If I was trying to imagine what it is from the title, it wouldn’t be a donut! Or any sweet thing tbh anyone know the reason for the name ?!
I had a neighbour like this years ago when I was single and living alone. He was such a bleeping idiot to me and the woman on the other side of me, but the man on the other side of him, Ohhhhh he couldn't stop kissing his arse. Pathetic.YES!

Hurrah. Making a cartouche makes me feel all cheffy, though I know that's purely because it has a fancy name!@Flumps I made the leeks! I even did my first ever cartouche. They were so tasty. This was a seriously big leek though and I definitely ate more than necessary. Feeling slightly buttery but v satisfied.
I don't think NI cuisine is going to be for you.I can’t believe a gravy ring isn’t savoury that’s wrong it would put me right off a donut and that’s no easy feet. Feat? Feat.
Yes to Worcester sauce flavour but I seldom see them which might be why they’re so good - absence makes the heart grow fonder etcI am loving this thread I hope to chime in more on the lunches and dinners when I am less, you know, BUSY...but I had to add my 5 cents about crisps.
Love salt and vinegar squares, walker's worcester sauce, pickled onion monster munch, sensations thai sweet chilli, and I am obsessed with flamin' hot Cheetos and it's a good thing they are hard to come by outside of the US (l live on the continent...for triangulation purposes). As someone else mentioned, twiglets are the food of the gods and my fingers are permanently brown around Christmas time.
I have also expanded my recipe book collection based on your recommendations, including a couple of roasting tin ones, the Dishoom (not a chain) one, and the ice kitchen
