Fucking claimed!

Just directed Tine to this forum so he can make you sick with his latest meal. Your less disgusting culinary creations and tipples of choice are most welcome.

Brooks

You arsehole.

Kow

Yes, that's often what the food looks like.

Forgive me.

Fish, chips, peas, smack(or potato scallop if you're not in Golborne), buttered barm and a can of dandelion and burdock.

At least that's what I just ordered. Yum.

Sorbet. Like ice cream, but less likely to kill you.

LarryDavid

Flamin' hot Monster Munch.

Snack of Kings.

My weekly "Thu Close shift->Fri Open shift" means I get home about 9:15pm, then have to get up about 6am. Stupidly made a normal coffee instead of my usual Thursday Night Decaf and only just noticed halfway through the mug oh no IM AN INSOMNIACER

Haha. I was about to say 'or if you're from Wigan' but thought I'd google where Golborne was first. My Dad says it also though and he's from Chorley.

FranticPea

Haha.

Smack barm and pea wet is a local favourite. It is literally a smack barm, moistened with the water that rises to the top of the mushy peas. You have to get in early for it though, otherwise there's no wet left.

For the record I have never, nor will ever, tried it.

Awaiting Tine's first post with baited breath. He makes me want to eat wholesome healthy food.

Meanwhile, i'm drinking water. Brilliant stuff.

Pea wet is another familiar name. My Dad calls steak and kidney puddings with gravy a 'babby's yead swimmin'. Utterly bizarre.

This could be the most Northern conversation I've ever read.

What the fuck is barm?

Wait, don't tell me. It must be either mushy peas or chips.

A floured bread bun.

And now I'm hungry :-/

Kow

Bread. Now that's disappointing. Surely it must have a pie in it. Or dripping.

It really is a disgrace that more UK confectioners haven't properly embraced the magical fusion of chocolate and peanut butter. When I can't get hold of the Reece's range, I'm forced to slather smooth peanut butter over a dairy milk - and that's what I'm tucking into right now.

Dammit, Kow, that av really isn't YOU. I'm probably going to keep banging on about it, so you might as well well change it now.

That's a waste of Dairy Milk if you ask me. They make Wonderbars over here, reminiscent of Star Bars, but they make a powdered milk version of the chocolate, so it's acceptable to mix with peanuts. They,ve also got peanut butter Twixes here which is WRONG.

Skerret

I don't think you can waste Dairy Milk as it's pretty close to waste already.

Kiltedmoose

There are a few websites that do American food. I've had a peanut butter Twix which wasn't great recently. Peanut butter M&Ms are quite good, although Reece's Pieces knock them out of the park.

Skerret

It's common knowledge but the incredibly sweet flavour of any American candy (like Reese's Pieces) makes them nigh on inedible for me. Not that I'm bothered as I'd never touch the stuff anyway, but, y'know, different strokes.

Thats the beauty of a barm cake, you can put a pie in it.

And chips.

And mushy peas.

Skerret

What about mushy pie chips?

FranticPea

Can't beat a pie barm, bit of gravy to moisten the barm. Awesome.

Also, yeh, babbys yead swimming is said round these parts too.

Are you happy now, goddamn you?

Fell in love with these when I was in Australia. Like a bounty but cherry and fuck awesome.

Kow

I HATE CHERRY FLAVOUR ANYTHING JESUS CHRIST IT'S FOUL

[Deleted User]

CHERRY IS SUPERBUM

Kow

I don't know why cherry flavour never tastes anything at all like cherries. Cherries are nice, cherry flavour is like a sack of stale vomit that fell in some dogshit.

[Deleted User]

Most 'flavour' stuff tastes fuck all like it should. Cherry flavour tastes somewhere inbetween almonds and glacier cherries normally, I like both.

Skerret

When I still ate cheapo choccie bars I did prefer a Cherry Ripe. It's one of the few things we as a nation have got right.

Howdy, Stranger!
