Easy pizzas does sound good. I remember Jack in one book had a an easy pizza version with muffins (presumably a deep pan idea?) and then recommended putting her kale pesto thing on which I did (this was during my Jackolyte days). it was as bad as it sounds.

Hairy bikers have a good corned beef hash which uses celeriac instead of potato. It sounds like it shouldn’t work but it does.

On camping holidays corned beef hash was my father's signature dish.

I am now a vegetarian who doesn't camp The two are not unconnected.

My kids hated it. But now it is just hubby and I at home we can eat the meals the kids wouldn't eat, and not have to make a separate meal for them.

Oh that sounds interesting. I'll need to look that up

I keep reading the thread title in the tone of Homer Simpson's 'money can be exchanged for goods and services' bit.

It’s a slow news day
Rather Jackesque - Banana pancakes which were crispy and burnt on the outside whilst sloppy yet grainy on the inside, quite revolting...

Why would you want your food to have any surprises at all if it isn't a fucking Kinder Egg?

Love that the quality of local journalism transcends county boundaries, the FB page for our local paper is around 90% comments from people creatively slagging the journalists and the rest are weird and/or racist

The best bit is this...

Jack, hilariously, had talked us through this bit step-by-step.

Personally - although perhaps at my own peril - I'm going to give readers the benefit of the doubt, and assume they are familiar with the process of sandwich assembly.

Take 2 slices of bread out the bag. First you’ll need to open the bag. It’s the clear and opaque one on the side where we could keep the toaster if we had one. Open the bag by pulling the yellow tab and then untwisting the twist at the top! Don’t twist too far or it will unravel and then twist back the other way quicker than one of my moods”

I hope this doesn't inspire a new dish

Yeah Tom Kerridge is great and all but is his beurre blanc unctuous and does it make a thick, provocative shroud for a scant handful pasta? If not, I'm not interested

I had a terrible slop disaster earlier as well, it must be all the repressed chaos energy emanating from London. I was making crumpets for the first time in years and thought I'd be efficient and cook four at the same time, forgetting that the pan I used isn't as non-stick as it used to be. The bottoms all welded themselves to the pan and got burnt while the insides were largely raw. Unlike Jack I didn't claim to have hoofed the lot straight out of the pan nor did I take a photo for social media and promise to post the recipe at a later date.
