Salmon fish fingers make me weep.

They are creating GM salmon that are the size of an alsatian in Norway. frequently deformed apparently, like Blinky the irradiated fish in the Simpsons.

Can i be a different sort of miserable shit and say something about whether you should be eating tuna? There are a few very good books out there about overfishing and consequences about to happen.

That aside, the idea that you can eat more cheaply with ready meals and take outs is such utter shash – not only is real good proper food so much better it’s also almost always much cheaper. One of my favourite things at the moment, a good springtime meal, is pasta with purple sprouting brocolli, anchovies, chilli and garlic and maybe some parmesan. Gorgeous, easy and cheap as anything.

the best meal ever cooked is a nice fillet of fish, some tablespoons of butter

Some tablespoons of butter?! Brilliant. Sounds like me making toast.

But surely the extravagance of funerals, and hence the undertakers’ profits, vary with the amount of cash those survived by the deceased have available.

In good times you can afford to send granny off in a gilded coach drawn by a team of black stallions, and have a 21-gun salute over the grave.

In leaner times, it can be more a case of “stick her in a binbag in the back of the Mondeo a bit quick so we can get to the pub!”

I think that is why undertakers are considered amongst the very very short list of totally recession proof industries.

As is ASDA. Where you buy brooms.

Last time I checked death had an 100% market penetration rate and your ass had a broom up it

I cannot believe this site has gone from music snobbery to cooking snobbery. dear me. I love cooking and eating but who gives a fuck about the people who don’t? Their loss. And if somebody likes a steak well done, well good for them I say.

I liked the gentle chiding of ‘young Rampant chuntey consumerism’.

It made me think about the tone Mrs Frank Zappa might have used when trying to stop young Moon Unit Zappa from smoking or not tidying his room.

Mother of Toad, you’re awesome!

Sounds like a religious exclamation.

Mother of Toad, that fella’s walking on the water!

I always thought cheese food was the crap they feed cheese to make it fatter. And juice drink, well that’s gotta be what every thirsty juice craves, and oh you could go on and on, but my head is aching and this has nothing to do with music and it’s all so wrong, wrong, wrong.

But, I will say that the best meal ever cooked is a nice fillet of fish, some tablespoons of butter, chopped garlic, dill weed and lemon under the fire and roasted potatoes on the bottom rack. Add a salad with simple oil and balsamic vinegar dressing and you’ve just eaten at my house tonight, unless you were my wife, who had five bites and fell asleep on the couch. Fucking capitalist whores!!! Stop working so fucking hard, make do with less and enjoy your fucking food, for the love of whatever god you wish for, just stop it! (and she’s not the capitalist whore, only the regular kind… it’s her fucking, blood draining bosses that should be flayed alive and fed to dogs that are the evil ones here).

ranting over, thank you for listening,
