New business in England

[SlyPokerDog]

Bored dog. You barked back this thread because...we just won a blowout over the Wolves missing starters Butler and Teague, along with Derrick Rose. Bad dog!

Bumped because it's relevant.

 

[jlprk]

Relevant to your eel soup? That's what it was about originally. You just finished a fine, fine non-filling dinner? Denny pays you too well.

When you eat wet electricity, you make shocking decisions.

Since I'm scrambling around trying to find new income sources while moving to the UK, one venture I'm working on is starting up a new site, WeddingCookbook.co.uk.

You all are a damned long way away from my target audience, but I thought I'd post it here to just see if people get the idea (and since I find it interesting). Excuse the English spellings (favour, colour).

If you look at it, pretend you are an English Bridezilla wanting to one-up all your friends' weddings and you probably have a ridiculous budget (the averaging wedding is around $26k US now).

The site is sort of live, but it isn't being promoted at all. This is probably the first place on the internet with a link pointing to it.

I can only say one thing about getting married. On our wedding night, I want to be taken out to dinner before we retire for the evening. Got that, dinner first and then my sweetie can savor my delights.

Sheepheards pie, rotten lamb doused with gravy and mint and baked beans drenched on eggs too

If you're meaning Sheperd's pie, I've had that. It's made from beef and mashed potatoes. I'll never have it again. I'd rather eat haggis and I'll never eat that.

 

[jlprk]

All I ate today was 9-grain bread dunked in coffee, hummus on toasted hamburger buns, unripe hard cranberries, and now I'm going to have cheap chips, yogurt, and some fine fine squirming eel soup.

Oh, for God's sake, I've got a queezy stomach.

How about one of the moderators do the right thing and change that? The little joke is long-since over.

It was a private joke between Denny and I, which I didn't mind because it was in fun and he could take it as well as dish it out.

It's less than funny when used in a cowardly, hateful manner as a personal insult by hypocritical posters/mods trolling my posts because they lack the intelligence to debate me, which are the only persons who use it now.

Damn, now this is a blast from the past. The original idea of this thread failed badly. Eh, you roll with the... . Just as long as it doesn't roll all the way into the anus.

But please do check out my fine quality kitchen products!
Here we are on Amazon. And of course, you can also order at CookbookPeople.com.

I'm telling you, the new spice rack I designed is going to be hotter shit than Simons in 3 years, and I'm high on Simons.



Buy my stuff and fund my NBA League Pass habit (and my local English pub too!)

@mook what the fuck is the deal with only having half a piece of glass in a shower? Why is it so hard to use shower curtains in Europe?

I didn't realize shower curtains had fans. I think they are evil, maybe I should move to Europe.

I've had both several times. I'll take shepherd's pie in a heartbeat. At least the meat is actual meat and not random scottish sheep organs.

I once had haggis in Scotland during a piping competition, and the lady who served it literally opened a can of the shit and jiggled it out over a frying pan like it was wet dogfood. But not nearly as tasty as dogfood.

The most offensive foods in the British isles, though, are neither. My nomination is:

Yes, this is a real thing. I'm going to a grocery store tonight and this will be for sale in the frozen meat isle. It's stunning that only the 4th most offensive thing about this product is that it is Mr. Brains.
The 3rd most offensive thing is the taste, which I assure you is appalling. The 2nd most offensive thing is, well, quite obvious. But in 1st place is that it is made with only 6% pork product. The rest is "filler." Now I don't know about you, but I find that horrifying.

If I ever get to try it, though, I'd like to think Stargazy Pie might actually beat Mr. Brain's. It's just....

I....I don't know....the guy who named it was surely an excellent marketer.

mook’s products are top notch, my wife loves the spoon set I gave her last year.

Support your fellow forum members!

You Americans and all your excess...."Ooh, look at me with my whole piece of shower glass." (The truth is the rest of the glass is confiscated in taxes.)

I will take a shower curtain over a piece of glass that only covers half the shower space.

But they don't work

I just end up completely cold and water gets everywhere.

Now, you've even found out about the mods trolling your posts. Are you able to break all of our code and hack into our onLine dastardly plots?

 

[barfo]

Actually, maybe that's a good idea for Mook. Now that weed is becoming legal in more and more places, there should be a booming market for products to proudly display and/or store weed, rather than hiding it.

In college, I kept my weed buried deep in my sock drawer. I figured the police would never look there.

Hence the term "skunkweed".

I'll have you know that I smelled fresh as a daisy and I kept it that way with my monthly bath.
