The Macro Cod is exactly the same, I think they are injected with water prior to freezing and even if thawed well and dried on kitchen paper there still as you say soggy.

Yes, you are right, Marrowfat peas up North and Haricot Peas down South, never understood why, but then I was a Southern softy. Many an argument with my sister over that, she had a Cake/Coffee shop down there.

I know what you mean by Pease Pudding, as in a Stottie with Boiled Ham, another good one.

Mushy Pea's, dried green Haricot Peas, soaked overnight and boiled till they look like the picture. I lived on Teesside for 40 odd years, where heaven was a Upex Steak Pie, Mushy Peas and a pint, down the club.

Looks like a Pie and Pea's Supper, as served in any North East Working Men's Clubs back in the 80's, served with Malt Vinegar not Tomato sauce though.

Yeah, I know, it was a reference to the fillets available from Macro, over here.

Couldn't agree more, nothing like muffing a nice bit of crumpet, you can get pills for a Spotted Dick.

Pierce the lid.

The answer was in my question, but as expected, all you ever get is another question, in reply.

Yeah, I get your point, not Cod as I remember it, more like Codling.

Still getting Cod over here in Macro, plenty of other fish, Haddock, Pollack and my favourite Huss/Rock Salmon/Dogfish but I normally try and catch them myself. I can remember when I was a kid being sent to the Chippy for 2 Bob's worth of chips which was nearly impossible to carry, now one portion of mediocre Fish and Chips last time I was in UK 2022, was nearly £7 as a takeaway. Back in 2021 just after the Covid I took the family to Whitby, and paid over £15 a head for a sit down fish & chips, with tea and ice-cream for the Kids.

British food, an amalgamation of all the foods we encountered from all the countries we colonised, subjugated and conquered over nearly 400 years. Sadly now it's all Gregg's, MacDonald's and KFC's hence the Brits are catching up with the Yank's with obesity Even the GB staple of Fish and Chips has been superseded by the Ruby Murray as the number one dish.

If Netanyahu and Gallant are innocent why are they not willing to go before the I.C.C. to prove their innocents? Focus: Crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court that are alleged to have been committed in the Situation since 13 June 2014, the date to which reference is made in the Referral of the Situation to the Office of the Prosecutor. On 3 March 2021, the Prosecutor announced the opening of the investigation into the Situation in the State of Palestine. This followed Pre-Trial Chamber I's decision on 5 February 2021 that the Court could exercise its criminal jurisdiction in the Situation and, by majority, that the territorial scope of this jurisdiction extends to Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

You think Starmer is left-wing , now that is funny, at best Tory-light.

Given a choice of Trump or Biden, I'd take her every time, I find it unbelievable to my mind that the US has become a laughing stock as far as politics go.

Americans are all immigrants, except for the Red-Indians, big mouths with small brains as a rule who lost out on being British over a nice cup of tea, I'd feel sorry for them if I could be arsed. Let us all look forward to WW3, where we can all hold hands and kiss our arses good-bye.

I did found some seeds at the local farmers shop, was looking for Parsley as the stuff you buy here is tasteless, eventually found some on Lazada, plenty on there. Grew the seed but the product wasn't much better than I could buy locally, I put it down to the soil being different to what it was grown in Yorkshire/England.

I can guarantee one thing everybody dies eventually, nothing can be more certain, doesn't matter what persuasion of religion you wish to be associated with.

Not my concern if he is dead or alive as long as he ends up there where he belongs.

It can only do that because it has bought and paid for the majority of the Senate via AIPAC

Easy answer, Netanyahu can go live in Hell where he belongs.

You got to feel sympathy for the poor maggots, looks like every time they get to the Capital they end up with the garbage, at least this time they were pushed in and didn't storm in like on the 6th.

Did anybody else see the Dolphins? The last ever dolphins message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backward somersault through a hoop whilst whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner", but in fact the message was this: "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish."

Given the clapping like seals from the senators in the room someone needed to throw them some fish, load them up with Bibi to go back to Israel as they are the "tools" supplying the tools, but they'd struggle to supply enough nappies for them all.

All US policy is based on the Israel lobby policy.
