I bet she doesn’t know what tamarind is, why would they not tweet someone who cooks more food involving these kind of ingredients?

Sorry, that was meant to be efl_ana
Well I'm getting my question in now, I bought these to make rocky road. But I don't fancy making that recipe anymore and all the packets are opened. Not sure what to do with these ingredients!!?? What curry can I make Jack??
My last school (so deprived that finding a single child in each class that wasn't Free School Meals/Pupil Premium and/or had SEN and/or was on at least the Safeguarding Monitor list was an event) was also around 85% BAME by the time I left.
My office was about 30 foot from the dinner hall - I had a constant stream of lads coming in and asking ever so politely if I would let them use my sea salt, black pepper pepper sauce and chilli flakes - they'd seen them on the shelf above my desk through the window and news spread fast.
They were great boys - I think I was old and fat enough for them to count me a suitable Auntie substitute, so during some lessons, such as textiles (which they all really enjoyed - there isn't the culture of 'sewing's for girls' and I was the rare person who could teach them to knit as well as spot the really good needlemanship on pieces), they'd all talk about food, recipes, which culture got Jolloff right - I declined to get involved in that one - their siblings, how tired their Mums were after a shift, all sorts of things. It may have helped that I'd co-taught units on Hip-Hop/Reggae/Funk and my specialism was the cultural context and impact of music, plus I was very clearly somebody who had grown up in the area and wasn't a posh woman trying to get down with the kids or easily offended.
But what I think opened those conversations up in the first was the knowledge I had seasonings to share. That and the face I pulled when I saw what passed for Peas and Rice from the canteen one day. 'What the - what on Earth is that supposed to be? They aren't trying to tell you that's - no, they can't be?' [eyebrows up to hairline and strategic silence].
Same. I got totally caught out on a telekit this morning when I realised something had been said directly to me but I’d been too busy Grunka-ing to pay any attention to what was being said.
Everyone was waiting for a response so I went with, “I’m not really sure what to say to that. I need a few minutes to reflect”. I think I got away with it
That’s a beautiful flat lay
S’mores?
I was going to suggest tiffin, but I think it’s basically the same as rocky road.

Oh! Of courseI'm really wanting a banging curry
I realise I took you far too seriously then 
hahahaIn that case, bung it all in a massive pot, add some raw onions and a tin of coconut milk. Mash it together for 15 minutes.
Garnish with a splodge of venison pate. Bon appetit!
gosh, I just don’t know WHAT to do with all of this venison pate. Reminds me of this episode of Friends, “oh no, two women love me, my wallet’s too small for my fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight”
Even though Jack wasn't born then (I don't think? Or she would have been very young) who does THAT WOMAN think she is, getting all up in jack's nicheGoogle it was pretty much my suggestion as a reply to that banana blossom tweet
Back in the 80's there was a lady - Bernadine Lawrence "How to feed your family for £4 a day - The Benefit Book" which she has updated over the years. She I suspect would be very helpful in how to use the food packs.
Can I use marshmallows instead of onions and mini eggs in place of coconut milk?Oh! Of course

Glorious! I'm off to follow Nigel Slater on Twitter now...This is hysterical! I love Nigel and I love her name is Susan. Ha ha I’m still giggling at it
Add peaches, rinsed beans and throw it all in a curry. With a side of watercress pesto.

Nah, cooking via instructions would mean it was far too chewy. Best blend it first!
I was asleep, soz fraus!
Oui, absolument!
