Hatch Green Chile on chip-shop chips.

Sure you get it on fries but that's not the same, and the nonexistence of this as A Thing has lived rent free in my head for *decades*.

Would also work a treat on macaroni pies

By the way I am going to be at QEDcon next Saturday and there is a bounty* for anyone who is able to deliver me parkin from Lily's in Sheffield!

* not an actual Bounty, but probably a pint

Ok, this is going to take more than one skeet. It's my nan's recipe, and as usual for parkin is best if you can resist it for a week or so before eating it

250g selfraising flour
2 tbsp ground ginger
100g porridge oats
85g demerara sugar
145g golden syrup
145g black treacle
4 tbsp milk
1 large egg

Don't believe Wikipedia btw; it's unlikely to have anything to do with Epstein. Driving from Zorro Ranch in Stanley(ish) to the far edge of Abq to bury bodies? I mean have you SEEN this part of New Mexico? Nah.

Having a Madame Bovary summer is all about:

-cheating because you're bored
-imagining what Paris must be like
-little treats you can't afford
-ignoring your child
-knowing exactly where the pharmacist keeps the arsenic (just in case)
-hiding in bushes

S: Hobart, Tasmania

I'm counting Australia as West because I was living in Canada when I went there and we did NOT go around the long way.
