Or going to work on a dripping piece Jim, 2 slices of plain bread (4 on a good day) plastered in solidified dripping with burnt remnants of black pudding, bacon sausage and egg and probably a few mouse droppings to add texture as the frying pan lay uncovered on top of the cooker for days until all the dripping had gone and ready for another weeks pieces 🫣Quote:

My Grandad never used a frying pan but his chips were class from his chip pan, home grown spuds chipped and cooked in beef dripping, you could never not like big fat juicy chips, nae wonder I carried a bit of lumber when I was a kid 🤣Quote:

Last night I was raking through the freezer as I could only be arsed having a “bung something in the airfryer” night. Got a chippy style battered sausage that I got a pack of at Tescos.
Had a thought halfway through the airfryer time - made a hot dog with it. Nice soft hot dog bun, ketchup, mustard, pickles. Battered sausage.
Not a word of a lie - sensational. Soft, squidgy, crispy, meaty, sweet, pickly, absolutely superb. Unreal.
We'll quite often get one to share as a side to a chippy. Absolutely outstanding. To think I would have a half deep fried pizza supper (not quite a pizza crunch) from the chippy for lunch most days at secondary school. I was rake thin as well despite my massive appetite. Caught up with me now though.Quote:

I laugh now when I think how deluded I was that I just had a 'good metabolism' when I ate utter crap and never gained weight. I was training 3 nights a week for football, playing once, sometimes twice if I broke club rules and played school football. I was also never out the gym and walked everywhere.Quote:

Was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic back in December last year so now my guilty pleasure is probably quite boring/a staple to most...
A slice of white bread, toasted, with butter :greengrin
Lidls empire :greengri biscuits are lovely.Quote:

My guilty pleasure is buying a pack in the pub after a few pints.
Pork Scratchings, simple delicious, not the imitation efforts but the big chunky tooth breaker ones that sometimes bare a hair or two that you have to suck to a jelly to avoid a trip to the dentist
Sometimes simple is best though! [emoji736]Quote:

They’re not as good as the Empire Biscuits at Lidl though.Quote:

If you’ve got an air fryer like mine that is a basket get yourself some silicone liners.
Making my own pizza with a sweet chilli base sauce rather than tomato, loaded with mozzarella,parmesan, smoked mozzarella, Gorgonzola and pepperoni, absolutely superb
To die for.Quote:

It’s spectacular and if it does go to a proper production I’ll post the link, made some satay noodles last night and liberally splashed this stuff over the top.
I do it with a sliced up smoked sausage in the air fryer rather than bacon.Quote:

The almond croissants from Patina are outstanding. They're almost a fiver, which is just mental for a croissant, but they taste great.

Dunno if it’s a new thing or if I’ve only just seen them, but M&S do dark chocolate covered sour cherries and they’re great.Quote:
