Panic buying of petrol

[Heedless Horseman]

Well, coming up to the Festive Season so , maybe consider Python, stuffed with Alligator, stuffed with Coyote, stuffed with Rat... would make a great table centerpiece! 
Think my circuits shorting. 
Have, for several days, now, a 'craving' for tinned Stewed Steak with tinned Carrots. I Hate Stewed Steak and I Hate Carrots !!! 
Really Hope I'm not Pregnant... THAT WOULD be a shock! 

[FierceKitty]

Try grating carrots and simmering them with a heck of a lot of milk (we're talking a couple of litres for a pound of carrots); after twenty minutes add some cinnamon and stir it at great length until most of the water has evaporated. Add honey, sultanas, and a large amount of butter and brown sugar; carry on until it won't absorb any more butter and there's no water left, then turn it our to cool and cut it into fudge-like blocks. Eat chilled. Write seminar paper on heart disease in India.

(Indian friends swear it's better hot, but I can't agree.)

I love Indian sweets. Have to restrict my visits to the many excellent purveyors of such locally lest I end up five talk AND five foot wide...

Going back decades ago......there was an 'Indian snack' which came in very small packets....
I think it was called 'Chevda'.....I can only describe it as curried rice crispies...with the odd curried peanut....and some tiny seedy bits.... Again with lots of curry powder.
For me...it tasted like a HUGELY improved 'Bombay Mix'.

I could eat handfuls of that, out of a cereal bowl.....I'd like to eat that again.

If any of you oiks like can get hold of that stuff.....let me know.

Cheers - Phil

Amazon can deliver so many versions of Chevda to your door you're spoiled for choice.

[toxicpixie]

There's a load of similar options in Asda and Tescos, never mind Amazon

[Techno II]

Ta for that, Guys.

Some of those look like the stuff I was thinking of..

Cheers - Phil.

Order one of everything, worth it to try and you have to keep your strength up!

NO !......Nathan 

I had a good look in Tesco's, this fair morn........OOODLES of different variations of 'Bombay mix'.....But absolutely nothing like Rice Crispies covered in Curry powder.

Cheers - No taste buds R'Us

Morrisons (being fairly PC) doesn't have ethnic foods, but world foods - packed with rice, noodles, and spices.

It make me wonder where they source their potatoes.

Well the ones in my fridge are from Norfolk and grown by someone called Chris Harrold. I know because I read the packaging while I waited for the "popty ping" to do it's work. I think Norfolk still counts as part of the world though. So, a world food, no?

[Heedless Horseman]

GOT to be better than the 'puffed starch' items that turn to 'glue' in your mouth... so popular... can't fathom it.

The public wants what the public gets.

I still haven't got my Curried Twiglets.

I'm delighted that one reader has understood one of my late night posts.

It amuses me that "World Food" has come to mean stuff from other continents (Does vegemite count?)
Much like "European languages" usually excludes English.

I've just had a really bizarre chat with a cold caller, who, having failed to get me to buy an (undoubtedly fake) conservatory,  informed me that his family were having chicken at Christmas because they didn't vote for Brexit so they could eat EU food.

I pointed out that turkeys were originally American.

He told me I was being conned by online fraudsters (irony much?) and turkey's came from Turkey. "The clue's in the name, innit?"

So, would I be having EU turkey or good British chicken at Christmas.

His response to my saying neither, as I was vegetarian, makes me think that he'd have been less shocked and revolted if I'd announced I was a Satan worshiping cannibal who drowned kittens for fun at the weekend.

I suppose "long pig" would go in the world food section
