Dentures

I never knew why my parents had dentures, but found out last night.

 

It was the norm for people to have their teeth removed as a 21st Birthday present.

 

And be given a full set of dentures.

There's never been blancmange in trifle, you're mistaken (see the Mandela Effect).

And those who diss Lobby/Potato ash are probably self-loathing Northerners, who hate being reminded of their proletarian roots...

 

Probably be all over the stuff if it was called Carne in scatola con patate i cipolle and served with foccacia at the swanky restaurants they namedrop, like Tiggis and Cesares...

You're bang wrong.

 

I was brought up surrounded by people who held this gastronomic nightmare in high esteem. It has nothing to do with its proletarian roots or its image as a stodgy filler for the under-nourished.

 

Its simply fucking wank., Thick, sinister, nasty, flavourless cum with Oxo as it's chief ingredient.

 

We don't drown witches anymore, we shouldn't eat like Roundheads either.

Its the sponges i wish were missing. "Here's a 15 layer gelatine based desert , I know ! , Lets add some cake parts".

 

at least Blancmange is similar.

 

I've never had blancmange on its own, were always in a trifle, up until it became rocking horse to get. think only one firm makes it.

 

At least i can't remember whether Tater Ash is supposed to have carrots in.

Spider is right

Dunlop?

Ok Spider, I'll let you off, you've probably just never tasted a proper batch.

Blancmange is just jelly made with milk is it not?

 

You're not thinking of Angel Delight are you?

 

Back when cream was about £3 a tub, Angel Delight and Dream Topping were often used as a substitute layer in trifle, if you've never sampled these, you will soon, now Brexit is happening and cream will soon be a luxury item again. :(

No ,  No.  'proper' blancmange .

 

Well i say 'proper' probably were this stuff.

Weird. But its all made out of cows feet or whatever. Never thought it 'odd' .

 

"yeah , that kinda goes" here's a video of someone making one with it. Were probably the layer under the (cream?) top but above the custard one. But as i said might just have been my family or whoever that did it with it.

 

Can see folk thinking it's wrong, like marzipan.

 

But i can eat that too, just tastes like almonds to me.

 

Although, Asda or someone make a weird milky yellow caramel flavoured Hartley's jelly looking dessert. Thats similar, but i dont like it. wrong flavour and too jelly for me. passing itself off as 'Creme Caramel'. That it's the budget brand probably doesnt help.

Blancmange means 'white minge' in French. I learnt it at schoo.

I went "over the bars" on my mountain bike + landed on my face.

I knocked 3 teeth out and loosened a few others, broke my nose + had 10 stitches over my eye.

So i have 3 dentures.It doesn't bother me at all at my age, but if i'd been a lot younger i'd have been devastated.

What's wrong with oxo?

True enough you can now buy fresh liquid stock, or make your own, but it all comes from dead creatures.

 

Trifle was ruined by the addition of those sponge finger layers, would make you gip.

Trifle is shit, as is Turkish Delight.

 

Lobby is a stew for peasants, muesli looks like rabbit food, but I do like Toblerone.

Ah the 'stew' issue. For me putting carrots etc in makes it a stew.

Only spuds and onions allowed in hash/lobby.
