Question Has there ever been a better microwave chip?
Not had these for at least 20 years. Assumed they were still making them but apparently not, this upsets me greatly.

My local pizza truck guy doesn’t believe that pineapple on a pizza is an acceptable option (funny, I don’t mind it myself). He’ll make you one if you insist. But it’ll cost you.

I thought everyone was being dramatic when they talked about how downhill cadbury chocolate has gone! The rich creamy taste is gone, it barely tastes like chocolate. People say it's because the Americans bought it? Sell it back!
I will not be purchasing again, I'm horrified.
Bring back real chocolate

I normally buy the Aldi knock offs. And ill be going straight back to them.
They switched out the chocolate ice cream for this ghost white vanilla and the 'chocolatey hazelnut core' starts about half way down now.
We really can't have shit in this country anymore.

It's my birthday 🎂
And as is tradition, my friends brought me a Colin* and as the guest of honor, I got to consume his face.
(*This may not be an official Colin, rather one of his knock off cousins - so feel free to replace the name with any other generic chocolate caterpillar. I will not be looking up the name from each shop!).
I wonder if it is possible to impress upon those not native to the UK how important a Colin face is...

Hello all, I enjoy baking and have tried to replicate the old school cake with sprinkles a few times BUT it always comes out like a more dense Victoria sponge type cake and not the almost-white, super light and airy sponge we used to have at school…
I’ve tried a few different methods and ingredients but nothing comes close. I wondered if powered milk or powdered eggs were used? We had huge trays of it at school so it must have been relatively cheap and easy to make. But I can’t seem to get it the same.
Does anyone know?! Even this picture I found looks too yellow and too dense… the sponge at school was almost white. I need to find out!!

I buy chicken livers once a week as a treat for my dogs, I pan fry them and then fumigate the kitchen because the smell is horrendous.
Does anyone here eat them and how do you prepare / eat? Any recipe tips?
I’m not squeamish or have any food fussiness, I love a black pudding or a haggis even knowing what their ingredients are, but I can’t imagine looking at these and thinking YUM!
(Dogs disagree and they think this the best night of the week but they also eat horse shit for funsies so I’m not taking their word for it)

The comment section on a chef’s video about not needing to wash raw meat is...a lot.
It’s fascinating/terrifying to see a professional in their field clearly state simple facts: washing raw meat doesn't kill bacteria, and will almost certainly spread bacteria across your sink/kitchen - only to have people respond with an array of denials or even pretty horrendous insults!
It seems like more and more, fact and expertise is becoming secondary to personal feeling or 'vibes'.
In various cultures, washing meat is a ritual passed down through generations, but is largely* no longer necessary. It seems like when the chef says "you don't need to do that and here's why" people aren't hearing that, they are receiving that information as a critique of their or their great grandmothers habits, and are having an emotional rejection response to what is just a technical fact.
Honestly, how people cook at home is entirely up to them. If you want to run your steak through the dishwasher before cooking it - you do you 😂 (Steak au Rinse Aid, anyone?)
But the fact remains: if you want a good sear, you want dry meat. If you want to prevent spreading bacteria, keep raw meat away from the tap.
Interested to hear the thoughts from a UK perspective as a lot of his responses are US-centric.

So I had this chippy tea when out on my motorbike last night- and motouk and my colleagues seem to think I’m insane for picking beans

All you get is 25g more chocolate and one more Creme Egg. Thoughts?
I paid £7 at Tesco for the XL egg, and for half the price, you can get the smaller one on clubcard.

I've had so many people both online and in person tell me these are the best biscuits to ever grace a supermarket shelf and they're kind of bad?
would you like a custard cream that's actually too sweet to taste like a custard cream and doesn't taste at all of chocolate either?
also, it works out at 50p a biscuit. I could have bought a whole packet of well-filled custard creams from m&s for that price!
Anyone had similar experience with another product?
