Red bull and energy drinks are another thing altogether, I love fizzy drinks and flavoured coke* but energy drinks can get in the sea, jager bombs are disgusting because of the red bull**, had years of rounds on nights out of vodka red bull and jager bombs * coca cola have a drink here called mexo mix, basically orange coke, sat drinking it now, good stuff, normal for the wife to order an orange juice and coke at the bar, they also put coke with beer for a shandy ** jager lemonade is the way to drink it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does but I am partial to a cheeseless pizza from dominos having discovered the create your own option a couple of years ago. Had never eaten a pizza until then. Although my mates remind me regularly that without cheese it’s not a pizza, just bread with stuff on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about sauce here, spicy stuff, as if I have lettuce on a kebab, tomato and onion yes, green stuff?... what planet are you on? We're talking about an intrinsic part of the kebab experience not the window dressing You sir are a shandy kebab eater I mean I don't eat them any more, but when I did there's no way I'd be ruining a kebab with onions and tomatoes.

Seat68 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I would avoid using the term bullshit but I have stood in chippies and seen fish dipped in batter, there wasnt any pre dipping in crushed rice. Not round these parts. But what do I know. https://www.vawhitley.co.uk/blog/rice-cones-to-use-or-not-use.html Quote Rice Cones - To Use Or Not To Use. Dusting fish with *Rice Cones or Rice Flour is a longstanding preparation technique used by many friers over many years.

But what do I know. https://www.vawhitley.co.uk/blog/rice-cones-to-use-or-not-use.html Can’t say I notice it every time but I can distinctly remember having a soggy white layer under the batter when we used to have regular chippy teas. I guess that I thought it was just less cooked batter mix on the inside though. Certainly wouldn’t have had it down as ground rice, but that’s basically a flour substitute, and a pre-dusting to make the batter stick is common in frying so this is completely believable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
