I have to get ready and go to Mum and Dad's
But there is a roast dinner at the end of it :)

my plans have now shifted too
instead of work then dinner out, it's a late lunch then work.

which means vegetarian roast at the pub. great way to put back my 7lbs...

with hot french bread and real butter?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 13:01, Reply)

Brown bread and butter.

Is there a real world alternative to 'real butter'

I haven't found one

No, there isn't.
The best thing I ever read was an article about how much better real butter is for you than those fucking spreads. Deep joy was felt in Chateau Monty that day.

They give you cancer
Whereas butter may have lots of fat in, thats almost all it it has in it, so everything in moderation. Whereas those fucking spreads and, god forgive me, margarine, have about 80% bowel cancer in them, and a list of ingredients that would make a chemical engineer wince.

Edit to say, the most important bit...They taste fuck all like butter.

Fucking ace news, isn't it.
My mother had us on St Ivel fucking Gold at one point. A low in my culinary life, that was...

Margarine is now illegal in this country, is it not?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 13:15, Reply)

I should hope so

"I can't believe it's not cancer"
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 13:19, Reply)

i prefer a sprinkling of salt
or balsamic vinegar to butter
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 13:05, Reply)

doesn't go well on toast with marmite or marmalade though

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 13:20, Reply)

I saw Marmite chocolate for sale the other day.
1. that's a bit too far even for me, I think and
2. it was in an ironmonger's.

Fucking weird all round.

that sounds bizarre
I saw a similar product on the Antiques Roadshow that a guy had from the 30s or 40s that was Oxo chocolate. The tag line on it was something like "Chocolate with the healthful and nourishing properties of Beef"
