What's wrong with me?
I've eaten four Crunchie bars and a Jamaican pattie instead of a real lunch.

Now I want a Crunchie.
Curse you, Monty.

I never want one ever again.

I'm wearing nothing but a Crunchie.

Cold?

Good.
They are a bit manky cold. Fatty.

The cooking instructions make me LOL.
Microwave from chilled: 1m30
From frozen: 1m40

That cannot be right, surely?
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:02, Reply)
Haha.
The extra 10 seconds makes all the difference.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:03, Reply)
Sounds OK.
A chiller will be roughly 20°C warmer than a freezer. You'll be wanting to heat it up and hold it above a certain temperature for a short time. Say above 70 for 30 seconds. So you need about a minute to heat it up from chilled and a minute plus about 20% to heat it up from frozen.

They've probably done their sums.

Assuming this is right, is it mere paranoia that leads most supermarket 'ready meals'
to have 'from frozen' cooking times set at almost double the chilled ones, then?


EDIT this is my contender
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:11, Reply)
I can't say I've dedicated much time to studying microwave guideline times.
But twice the time doesn't make much sense unless supermarket deep freezers are a lot colder than domestic ones.

Was it one of those you get in the international food shop with the abnormally yellow pastry?

(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:05, Reply)
Yes.

(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:06, Reply)
I love 'em.
I find the spiciest one is the veg one.
Sometimes when hungover I would put lots of brown sauce on a hot veg pattie and wash it down with Red Bull. Fucking yum.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:09, Reply)
I have never had the veg one.
I do love the beef, lamb and chicken ones though. Caribbean food is fucking great. I want to get into African food too - some of the African stews they sell at the farmer's market by my house smell gorgeous, as I walk by on my way to get black pudding scotch eggs.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:15, Reply)
Are those yellow patties really Caribbean food?
What's that paste stuff inside them?
I do like the stews and curries you can get round here when there's a festival of some sort or other.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:17, Reply)
Yeah they're Jamaican. I first had them at Carnival in the 80s SO THEY MUST BE.

There are a couple of African restaurants in Peckham that are worth a visit.
Have you been to the Sth African BBQ place on Brick Lane?

Nope - I had no idea there was one.

The South African restaurant I went to in Portugal was fantastic
The kebab I had was mental. They do know how to grill meat.

I'm sorry but the words'worth a visit' and 'Peckham' have no business being in the same sentence.

Sadly, I often do
As it's just down the road and has more atmosphere than New Cross

Ahh, you were the guy in Lewisham
I was trying to remember you the other might, Barry said he was in Blackheath I think it was, I was suggesting a mini-bash as we're all neighbours. I don't think he was too keen. Not sure I am either, given the kind of people who live in Lewisham, I have to look down on someone....
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:36, Reply)
Looking down from lofty New Cross. Haha.
I'm up for a pint. I wouldn't pick the 'Sham either.

Blackheath is good.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:39, Reply)
There are not many places (well not in London) I can look down on.
Blackheath I don't really know, but it seems nice. I am up for a pint in theory, in reality my next free evening is *thinks hard* probably about a fortnight away so better to revisit the idea nearer the time.

I _could_ have gone to Marks and gotten a simple ham and mustard, and enjoyed it, been well happy with it, but nooooo, smarty pants here had to go to the posh place like a fucking cunt who deserves not to have a decent lunch. And now I'm hungry.

Did you see the recent film about him?
It was called something original like "Lemmy", is was ace.

I saw it at the cinema in Brixton. I am 'into film' you see.
I took a bottle of Jack Daniel's in with me.

I saw it at the BFI London Film Festival last year
I had to queue up for standby tickets as it sold out in seconds and they only played it in this tiny screen with maybe 30 seats the cunts. /'into film' one-up-manship


I'm surprised you've not met him, you seem to have met all sorts of interesting people.

I've been fortunate in that respect - but never had the pleasure of Lemmy's company.
Yet.

Name any random person who's seen a guitar in the 70s or 80s, even if they've only seen a picture of a guitar, and Monty would not only have known them, but would consider them a cunt based on personal experiance too.

OK then, I'll name one
Ian Fraser Kilmister, nice guy, used to roadie for Hendrix.

Ohh, Fraser, Monty knows him well, used to have a fun nickname for him called "The Frasernator", which is like The Terminator only with his name in there...
... he owes Fraser a signed poster from Hendrix because he lost a who-can-throw-a-beer-can-the-furthest bet and monty betted his house. Cunt never paid up though.
