(Them? It? I think ‘it’. It’s one big thing, not lots of little things. It should be mashed peas) Coleslaw - 6/10 Excellent use of the mundane “marks out of 10” scale. Further approval for getting the scores absolutely correct on both items. Perfect for the boring thread. Nothing new, nothing to argue with. A few days ago I had some mushy peas from a tin that had a best before date of 2012. They were a delicious accompaniment to some fish and chips. 8/10. Was gonna have some gravy as well, but the gravy had also passed it’s best before date, and was minging, so had to go down the drain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Them? It? I think ‘it’. It’s one big thing, not lots of little things.

Strange one; sometimes I really enjoy it, other times I think it’s nasty. There are some foods that I never used to liked but now I do like. However, I can’t think of any foods that I used to like but now I don’t. I’d swap your ratings. For me coleslaw can brighten up a dinner. Boring salad? Lob some coleslaw on there and bam! Nice salad. Jacket potato and beans... that’s a bit boring. BAM! Now it’s got coleslaw on it. Delicious. Peas are one of the most boring vegetables going, so anything that manages to make them more interesting gets some marks, but it’s still peas. mush peas 6/10 coleslaw 8/10 your ratings 5/10 see me after class 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will grant you is the coleslaw with baked potato combo, as long as there’s some other salad stuff - tomato, onion, leaves, etc. Used to be my go to dinner in the old works canteen. Healthy and tasty. But they knocked it down and built a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Coleslaw can partially rescue overdone pizza. 31 minutes ago, mjmooney said: Tinned tomato soup. Had branded spaghetti hoops the other day. Very disappointing. The rich thick sauce, wasn't. Putting it down to a combination of a spicy diet and manufacturers reducing sugar and salt in stuff.

Coleslaw has no place on baked beans You of all people, are in no position to judge people’s culinary predilections. Anyway, on coleslaw, there are two types readily available in food stores. The thick creamy variety or the thin and watery variety. people will try to be good and buy the low fat version, but this is the salad world version of the squits. My missus makes a great fresh coleslaw, salad cream for a bit of sharpness, far more pepper than you would think should go in it. The best coleslaw. I’ve always liked all pea formats, I’ve been very consistent on this point. Processed peas and mushy peas are great in the correct environment. As are garden peas.

StefanAVFC Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Store bought coleslaw is ok but homemade coleslaw is fan-****-tastic. Finely chopped cabbage, carrot and a small amount of red onion. Mayo, yoghurt, salt, pepper, cider vinegar and a pinch of sugar. Thank me later.
