Most bizaree football food I've had was when watching Russia v Italy WC qualifyers ('97) at the Dynamo Stadium in Moscow. Minus 5c and you couldn't see the pitch for the snow, let alone your seats. A group of Russians in front of us started handing out sausage and bread and neat Vodka which they'd sneaked in by simply emptying into a plastic bag and then cutting the corner to pour. Crap game but great atmosphere.

I had a very very bizarre chicken curry pie at Bristol City a few years ago.... It made me feel very ill!


I love scousers for the fact they have to call everything scouse... Around this time of year, there will be firework parties, and people will be cooking up big pans of scouse, which is effectively exactly the same as any other pan of hot stew from anywhere in the world! Bloody nice though!

The Scouse/R name did originate with the dish but the dish itself has a longer history. Lobscouse is / was a sailors dish. Alternate layers of potato and mutton cooked very slowly in stock over a long period. Originaly a Scandinavian dish (and still popular in Norway) it became a Liverpool dish when Liverpool was a great sea port.

Last night - Shugborough Hash. I can minced beef, one can tinned peas - heat together in a saucepan, add dried potato powder until very stiff. Sounds disgusting but is a comfort meal from childhood outward bound weekends.


Tonight I will be mostly roasting a chicken.

Beef bourguignon - basically beef stew made with red wine - slow cooked for ten hours since this morning. When my key turns in the front door, the aroma will hit me - the best welcome home in the world!


A slow cooker recipe book was this year's best purchase for me. Is that a sign of old age?

now way Bellenden Belle - that's what i was going to make!


I shall instead be making it tomorrow now ( coz the butcher's isn't open on a Monday - bah!)


Tonight shall be some combo of chicken slow cooked in a painfully hot sauce and crisped up at the end

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
