Louisa, I'm sorry (and I don't mean that sarcastically) if I may have offended you or anybody else out there. I do take it for granted sometimes how lucky I am to even have kids. I don't know anything about you or your reasons for this thread, so I'm bailing out. Will enjoy all your other comments in the morning though! Goodnight everyone.

> Grilled pork dumplings for two,


Don't take this amiss *Bob*, but posting this after my innocent bottom enquiry might be seen in dubious taste.

That's regarding the Louisa/YM arse thing, and nothing of course to do with the taste of the grilled pork dumplings supplied by no doubt hard working Chinese people.

I don't know who is behind Louisa but whoever you are, you are the best on here by fuckhen miles. Daff murderers (and non-existent signs), posh cheese on toast, the People's Paradise of North Devon, the philosophical impossibility of fresh fish - all masterful stuff.


This yummies guff is just a warm-up, isn't it? When are you bringing the good stuff out?

Goodness me I always appear to cause a stir and all I want from life is to achieve a better ED for everyone :-)


I complain about daffodil picking - damage to public property

I complain about lost business in a recession - snow day back in February

I complain about how bad it is that pubs sell pizza and how Pizza Hut is offocially the best selling take-away in Rome..


I provide a public debate about some hot contested issues locally and all I get is ridiculed and made to look like some sort of bad person :-(


I give up going on long distance breaks in future, clearly ED needs me here to raise the profile of issues which otherwise would not get a mention.


Back on topic, these yummies are a menace to cohesion in ED and they must be stopped from ghettoisation in the NCR district before it is too late. We need a McDonalds or similar to open up along that stretch to put a stop to this middle-class infiltration once and for all before it is too late. And to my critics thus far I say this.......YOU ARE TALKING SH*T!!!


Louisa.

apologies for not reading all of this thread- but what in sweet suffering f**k is a 'Yummy'?!!?

does drinking earl grey tea make you middle class then? blimey! So what if you drink earl grey* but also have a penchant for McDonalds? what class does that make you? I also like shoes from Russell & Bromley but I get my knickers from Primark..


* I do drink Earl Grey - Twinings only of course - but I do not stick my pinky finger out whilst holding my (china) cup

    • The Cornish Gouda was featured in an early episode of 'Rick Stein's Cornwall'. It's actually made by a Dutch family who moved here. The series is being repeated on BBC2 at the moment, so it's probably available on the iPlayer. Cheese Block stock a great 'Old Amsterdam' aged Gouda, if you can bring yourself to go in, or M&S do one made with Jersey milk. I've never found the Cheese Block all that grumpy. I think they just get a bit frustrated when it's busy and people don't know what they want. It's not ideal, but I try to go in when it's quiet if I'm undecided, and they're almost friendly. Here's a link to the Rick Stein show. It'll be available soon, apparently. Hopefully it'll help you track down the Gouda.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qzxr  
    • It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France  and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme  d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort.  Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it.  Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.       
    • Yes, but I remember it fromages ago.
    • Can anyone please provide Niko's number?
