It is a sort of scone, covered in sausage gravy - you brown the sausage meat in the pan, reserve the fat and add flour to make a roux. Add milk and plenty of black pepper, cook to reduce, then pour over the biscuits and serve. Southern-style heart attack guaranteed.

Any question that's pertinent to your ability to do the job, really,
and those questions are a lot rarer than they should be. Far too many interviewers just pick something at random from the Fisher Price Big Book of Interview Questions ("What would you say is your biggest weakness?", "Would you say you were a team player?", "Where do you see yourself in five years' time?" and other idiotic ways to waste an interviewee's time).

I like the 5 years' time one
because it tells you whether people have actually thought about their future, or are just plodding along doing any old shit. And you can say "it depends on the opportunities available to be from my employer", and ask them directly what sort of promotion/training schemes they have in place.

they interviewed me for the wrong role, I tore their language test to shreds (identified 150% errors in language, style, and formatting), and then had to go through a bullshit onboarding process for a translation tool that I was never going to use.
They never sent me a contract to sign, went silent on me for six months, then suddenly dumped an URGENT project on me with a completely ridiculous deadline. I sent them a reply stating that no contract existed between us and that my freelancer rates were 300% due to the deadline, and never heard from them again.

well, they do and they don't
If you've got a proper employment contract you get 26 days off plus 11 nationals (all paid), 3 months' notice, maternity/paternity leave and all your social payments made for you. Everyone else has to register as self employed/PAYE and just issue an invoice, so you get none of the above. I've been self-employed for 14 years, so a paid day off would make a nice change.

trouble is, most poles still have a decent family support network
ie mum/grandma owns her home outright with no debt and has a spare room, and basic food staples are cheap and no-one has a credit card so personal debt is really low. It couldn't work like that in the UK; you'd be under the bridge doing heroin by the end of the first week.

Also, all the unemployed Poles come over to the UK to both leech of our benefits system and steal jobs from hardworking brits. Or so they say.
My mum's bugbear was Romanians, rather than Poles - they get given free bikes on arrival, and then chase local girls. Kent must be like one long Benny Hill sketch.

The sushi place is easy to get to, one bus and about 20 minutes travel time, but it has to be kept at between 3 and 5 degrees. Biscuit place is an hour and a half and 2 buses away, but it's a guaranteed 40 hours if I get nights and I get blue dragon stuff cheap

Scaphism
The Persians outvie all other barbarians in the horrid cruelty of their punishments, employing tortures that are peculiarly terrible and long-drawn, namely the 'boats' and sewing men up in raw hides. But what is meant by the 'boats,' I must now explain for the benefit of less well informed readers. Two boats are joined together one on top of the other, with holes cut in them in such a way that the victim's head, hands, and feet only are left outside. Within these boats the man to be punished is placed lying on his back, and the boats then nailed together with bolts. Next they pour a mixture of milk and honey into the wretched man's mouth, till he is filled to the point of nausea, smearing his face, feet, and arms with the same mixture, and so leave him exposed to the sun. This is repeated every day, the effect being that flies, wasps, and bees, attracted by the sweetness, settle on his face and all such parts of him as project outside the boats, and miserably torment and sting the wretched man. Moreover his belly, distended as it is with milk and honey, throws off liquid excrements, and these putrefying breed swarms of worms, intestinal and of all sorts. Thus the victim lying in the boats, his flesh rotting away in his own filth and devoured by worms, dies a lingering and horrible death.
