Shepherd's pie
With lashings of gravy

Thick gravy or namby-pamby gravy?

Almost thick enough to stand a spoon in
Of course

meat juice thickened with corn flour is excellent

Exactly

unless you want it to be blue and petally
I'd use cornflour.

EDIT - you shuddering Ninja cunt.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 17 Jun 2009, 17:52, archived)

it makes fuck all difference how thick it is.
flour doesn't taste of anything. It's what you make it from that matters
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 17 Jun 2009, 17:54, archived)

It's not the flavour that is different
But I don't like my vegetables to have something that's nearly water on them.

lamb chili (with mozerella) and an assortment of steamed veg.

If I have a number of variable length, e.g. 439, how do I get the 'middle' number (3 in that example)?

Are you talking about coding?

( SuperMatt, Wed 17 Jun 2009, 17:50, archived)

Because you could do something with substrings
or, I think, mod might be able to do it.
But don't quote me on that.
( SuperMatt, Wed 17 Jun 2009, 17:51, archived)

Not possible using a math approach.
Plus if the string is an even number of numbers - problem.
( lion-cake Bad lion-cake, bad., Wed 17 Jun 2009, 17:55, archived)

no, arithmetic.
if it were coding, it'd be peasy..

echo $num[floor(strlen($num)/2)];

All decimal numbers can be written "long-hand" as
c₀ × 10⁰ + c₁ × 10¹ + c₂ × 10² + ... + c_n × 10ⁿ (more typically written as c_n...c₂c₁c₀; e.g. 439 is 4 × 10² + 3 × 10¹ + 9 × 10⁰.)

you should first find n, divide it by two, and you've got the power of 10 the middle digit multiplies. From there, it gets a little complicated.
