Whenever anyone says bellend I think of @Billybellend now!

Who “folds in” green beans (Jack, I know) folding is a very specific term which has no real use outside of baking where you are trying to keep the air in, no?
Similarly, I am sure she mentioned 'julienning some carrot into ribbons' in one of the many Christmas Dinner guises, which really boiled my piss at the time. I didn't mention it because I am a massive pedant and being new to Tattle wanted to keep that to myself for a while BUT julienning is cutting into matchsticks and ribbons are, y'know

I noticed that, I think Princes is trolling Del Monte and I am, as da yoof say, here for it.
Getting all up her niche . Totally here for it too (I bet their site has less retro style horror show food than Del Monte too)

I used to work for a consultant neurologist who had us all donate samples as controls into a preliminary autism study (not allowed, don't tell anyone!). He had us all do an autism diagnotistic test as a very basic assessment of our responses to make sure we were viable controls. After this, he called me into his office and told me I was likely on the lower end of the spectrum and so my samples weren't going to be used.

I've never followed it up and gotten an official diagnosis - although it did explain some stuff about my reactions, having to learn responses and conversational skills by observation and memorisation, I felt that it wouldn't affect how I was and wasn't enough of an issue to make a difference if I sought help. I feel that she's had something similar, an offhand comment given to her and chased it up as far as she possibly can to use an excuse for being terrible in real life. To me that isn't autism, it's just being shitty.

I struggle to see anything redeeming in her, and wielding a genuine dignosis that affects people hugely as an excuse for being horrible is damaging to genuine sufferers. Goes for her ADHD, arthritis, autism, all of it.

God, she's a pain the arse and the people who ask her dumb questions are too. Just Google it you bellends!
Some of these have got to be a piss take...surely? Most packets of dry stuff have recipes on them and they certainly have the cooking instructions.

Now, how exactly DO you eat custard?

This poor individual seems to think they are sitting on a stash of toxic waste that is about explode!

A while ago a family/ group of friends in my supermarket were catching up, and I cursed at them for blocking the isles.... Take it outside FFS!
