Danish cant handle their gochugaru it seems.

No wonder. Iv not seen the 3x spicy ones on the shelves but the 2x spicy you can get readily here and they are absolute lava. Thing is, the first few mouthfuls taste quite good. Then the heat bites in and by the end you're a slavering wreck. An upgrade on those will indeed be flirting with the "poison" line

I bought the carbonara ones thinking they wouldn’t be too bad compared to the 2x spicy ones, unfortunately I had them for lunch to break my intermittent fast and near shat myself when out a walk a few hours later, stomach just went i was more a sweaty mess walking back than I was eating them! Saying that had bought a 5 pack and finished them 

 

would recommend

Worked at a place when I was at culinary college the owner & I used goggles & PPE masks (pre covid)

Was like Breaking Bad rather than making hot sauce.

ETA: I'm no chili head. When it goes up to scotch bonnet, bhut jolokia & carolina reaper I tap out.

Had an afternoon in the  kitchen and managed to rustle up a mushroom and barley risotto, 6 rolls and some tiktok tomato chutney Mrs Plumpy wanted to try.

A colleague comes into work at least three times a week with a Lidl bakery empire biscuit. Decided to try and make my own at home and they've turned out not terrible.

Who was it that was trying to do that a while ago except there was a national shortage of Jelly Tots and the substitute product wasn’t as good?

The national jelly tot shortage might still be going on as we wound up using Asda "fruit jellies". Couldn't find jelly tots at all.

Anyone recommend decent pots? Mine are fucked having made the mistake of buying cheap a couple of years back. 

Had circulon ones before. Considered going back to those but although they did last a good few years, they again were wrecked by the end. 

I don't wanna spend a fortune but there must be "good for the price" out there. No more cheap shite

I have a dish that I use to make Spanish rice in the oven but I want to make Paella. Not sure if it can take a flame under it though.

 

Its not iron. Just feels a bit flimsy. Anyone use these?

Fondue tonight with a 2-1 steak to chicken ratio.  Chips, naturally.  Dips of thousand island, horseradish, peanut sauté and crème fraiche.*

Wonderful.

* a substitute for sour cream which we can’t get here.

I still use my Antony Worrall Thompson set from 2004. The pre-shoplifting years.

Good quality. Used often and still look new.

Whereas we had Kenny Miller who ran around like a headless pollo.

My le creuset ones have lasted well, but I appreciate they’re fucking expensive. I have a tefal frying pan too which has done well.

I ended up going with the circulon steelshield ones. Might add one or two proper stainless steel ones and learn how to use them properly but quite happy so far

First taste of ceviche tonight. Very fresh fish which melts in your mouth with a surprising zesty and chilli heat. A must try.

Zestiness shouldn't surprise you. It's the citrus that 'cooks' the fish.

I love it & would probably order it before sashimi.
