Yeah I figure it's either just laziness or white is too strong for them. It's no co-incidence that I like almighty hot curries, but then again I know that you don't. I'd never put white on pizza or pasta for example. They all have their purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I don't think you understand the faux sophistication that comes with black pepper leave the peasants with their 89p white pepper in a small plastic pot, I have a £1.49 black pepper grinder 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFO! that's another thing I don't buy anymore, i only ever buy passata now, beans on toast is a pass but that's with a splash of Worcester sauce and black pepper for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Sweet WFH today, meeting my wife for beers in a little over an hour and tomorrow a new tattoo. Yes I have had to pay a fortune for work on my motorhome, but really, that was budgeted for and therefore its shaping up to be a good weekend.

I rarely enjoy the taste of black pepper - it has a strange sort of... sweetness(?). That's not quite the word, but I know what I mean. Whereas white is simply... hot. Despite my lack of enthusiasm for curries, I don't mind a bit of heat - I like chillies, for example. And hot horseradish sauce. And English mustard.

villa4europe Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 you ever cooked with or eaten Sichuan peppers? now that's a weird little thing, I think the aim is it numbs your mouth meaning you can take the heat of the other ingredients, hard to explain the sensation of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted October 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2019 Appreciate that for many this might be a Thom Yorke thing but I had the good fortune to spend an hour or so chatting with Ben Wheatley last night. We talked a little about film but mostly about life, school, buying houses and normal life stuff. At the risk of sounding a bit Limmy, he was very down to earth and very funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Sat in on the nipper’s Samba practise again this morning. The noise generated by a full band work out, in a school hall, is just seismic. No amplification and its as loud as any gig you’ll ever go to. Sat there with my flask of coffee, a banana and a book for the full 3 hour sesh. Lucky boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was touch and go for a while as it seemed a bit firm for my boney arse but it's all good now. I've just ordered a sofa. I am a bit worried because we went for a recliner so we can........... Recline. But I am concerned that the padding might be thinner and lose comfort more quickly. Actually this might be better in The Boring thread.

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted October 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 Our garden appears to be the boundary between the territory of two robins. They’re currently shouting at each other from opposing hedges. I don’t speak fluent robin, but I imagine its along the lines of ‘you **** off’, ‘no, you **** off’, ‘no, you **** off’. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of magpies were fighting in the garden earlier right above the boys basketball hoop. One chased the other right down through the hoop/net. Slam dunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
