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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited June 12 by Don Diego De la Vega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) 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.

jimbaxters Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 First taste of ceviche tonight. Very fresh fish which melts in your mouth with a surprising zesty and chilli heat. A must try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
