My mum always told me you should never cook beans in a slow cooker as it can be toxic.. is this just an old wives tale?

Isn't the ham in these kind of things usually a hunk of ham, to flavour the thing? Does she think shredded sliced ham out a packet fulfils the same purpose?!?!

I can't get my head around what this would taste like.
I SHAN'T get my head around it, can only hope that the juniper berries had been forgotten long enough to lose all flavour. They are wonderful in the right time and place, this really isn't it. (slow cooker poison beans - I think this goes back to the advice that if you're cooking soaked dried beans, they need to be cooked at a rolling boil for at least 10 minutes, to destroy 'toxins'. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it was standard cooking advice in the 1970s.

Anyone else ever get tempted to learn how to make a bot for Twitter then program it just to reply NEVER DO THIS under all Jack's tweets?

Her use of the word "base" makes me irrationally angry.

Edit: Piss poor spelling on my part

For my dinner tonight I had roast potatoes done in veg oil, carrots, broccoli and green beans. I also had a couple of slices of roast chicken, but it was only about 10% of the contents of my plate.

Am I 90% vegan?
Babe, same x

Had that for lunch. Always thought of myself as a fearsome carnivore. Turns out I'm 90% vegan. :sick:
