What are you having for lunch?

Hey Gonz
that cake in the picture you commented on was one of my rainbow cakes, it has rainbow colours all through it. And I made my own cupcake up as well with no recipe, you'd be so proud.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 12:58, Reply)

Ace ! That's really cool.
How did you stop the colours from mixing into a black blob?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 13:01, Reply)

They just don't, it's weird
Although they did swirl up a bit through the centre this time, I think I need to use less baking powder. Normally I can get them in proper stripes, so I need to work with the recipe a bit to get that again.

It takes ages to do though because you have to make your 6 colours of cake mix first and then layer it in the case, which is a ball ache. I'm going to experiment with using a biscuit-icing syringe thing in the hope that I can just fire perfect disc shapes into the case without any hassle.

I've kind of formed the view that KittyWorld is a kinder, gentler place.
Where nobody whacks each other about with nasty big sticks; crudeness has been abolished; ladies don't do "toilet business" and everybody lives on a diet of special cupcakes that taste of rainbows.

For this reason I'd wouldn't wish to meet Kitty in case it turns out that the above isn't true. I couldn't take the disappointment.

Forget Mountain Dew, you need VENOM.

It's in my Sainsbury's, I assume it's nationwide.
It just tastes like sugary lemonade though, I was well disappointed.

You'll be disappointed
I often eat in Taco Bells when I'm in the US. But I never seem to like it as much as I think I'm going to. Yet I keep going back.

You'd think I'd learn one day.

Also...
I want to know why UK Chinese restaurants don't sell scallion pancakes, and why American ones don't have prawn crackers.
Come on Chinese people - get your fucking act together.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 13:45, Reply)

Likewise
Indian restaurants in the US make very odd dishes, to our UK tastes. I once ordered something spicy, a Jalfrezi or something, in New Jersey, and was asked whether I wanted it mild, medium or hot.

They did that with all the dishes, so I could have had an impotent Madras or a fiery Korma.

But US Mexican restaurants are better than their UK counterparts. I guess it's a function of the number of people of a particular culture who are resident in the country. Here we have a sizeable Indian population, so there are lots of good Indian restaurants, and the same is true of Mexicans in the USA.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 13:53, Reply)

The other side of the coin is that...
...'ethnic' foods are changed to suit the tastes of the locals. Most Mexicans would no sooner order food in a New York mexican food joint than an Indian would order a Tikka Masala.
Having said that I was once asked in an American Irish pub if I wanted a large pint or a small one.

There are some brilliant Mexican restaurants in London.
