I think the thing that plant based pepperonis seem to lack is fat. They don’t give up a garlic and chilli oil slick and they don’t crisp up like the real stuff

Have this had a crack at chorizo or pepperoni? I’ll keep trying options but honestly for pizza I think it’s easier to think around the problem: we use nduja paste (M&S) which gives spicy oily mess to the proceedings and then get salt and bite from other things (dry olives are very good!).

The Quorn Pepperoni is decent enough and miles ahead of most within the field of fake spicy meats but ultimately the quest for a vegetarian hot sausage is doomed to failure.

It’s like the AGI of pizza toppings, though it’s less water and energy intensive.

weird to find myself typing this but PM Wes Streeting would be better and can’t happen soon enough (very critical support obvs)

If he forces the issue and it goes wrong he should resign (he won’t)

So Kier basically shut the Fuck Up, stop using this to further your fucking culture war. If they go and anything does happen, it's on you.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Caught up with The Traitors.

I assume Tom Daley Graveyard Side Eye is now available on Giphy?

Hey at least it’s about a place you actually booked and not endless reminders that one time you brushed past a listing about a place you might like to book sometime maybe

They played Mr Jones by Counting Crows on the radio a bit ago and I’m now convinced that Mr Jones is the singer’s dog (the women are definitely looking at the dog, btw)

I don’t but that’s a banger for sure. I’ve kinda missed the moment with Bluey, you got a link to that ?

The biggest hill I have pulled myself off of?

Probably “there should be no oats in a crumble mix”.

What a dumb thing to say. Get some oats in there. Get some ground almonds too. Put anything you want in it. We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams (also we bake puddings)

And there it is.

He’s there in the paper laughing at all the time and resources he wasted like it’s great banter and I somehow knew he’d turn out to be a flag hanger type. Good to see plainly who is really taking the piss and costing us money. What a piece of shit.

Autumn is absolutely living its best life in 2025 isn’t it? So much nature about. Walking around on carpets of acorns and conkers. Big-jumper-but-not-coat weather. Toadstools and mushrooms all over the place. Superb work lads, really.
I am not cool enough to know all the names and so forth. It’s an absolute banger toadstool and or mushroom. A fungi.

The old ones are very fun and I’m having some lazy painting guilt now knowing that I’ve not done the ones you so kindly sold me 😅

We use them for games though!

The new Harlies combat patrol box is cool and all but do they _all_ need to be jumping off a bit of rock?
Harlequins do be jumping off small bits of broken masonry. Defeat the harlequin troupe with this one neat trick: form battle lines on a very smooth surface

The commissioners seem happy for Birmingham City Council to spend their reserves on trying to break workers through a long-running strike, but won't invest the money into anything useful like local services that could prevent higher long-term costs: www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
