i feel everyone needs and deserves to be enabled with food. eat the food. experience joy.
spiteologist
...it probably isn't a good idea to get curry anyway, come to think of it. it's a friday night and the indian place is between two pubs.
6LilacMimeLions
e. ramen packet
spiteologist
6LilacMimeLions i somehow have none of those currently
spiteologist
only cuppa soups
nico
combine many cuppa soup
6LilacMimeLions
getting a few calories in you to start will help your brain
spiteologist
i ordered pizza

and also fried cheese
spiteologist
it's a friday night and i deserve macaroni cheese bites
6LilacMimeLions
is fried cheese the equivalent of our mozzarella sticks? aka hot mozzarella in breading that you dip in marinara sauce?
6LilacMimeLions
oh i guess not
6LilacMimeLions
fried mac n cheese is good too
spiteologist
it is, in fact, not a Proper Thing

but my local chippie does a "cheese bites" option which includes mozzarella sticks AND mac and cheese bites AND jalapeno poppers and usually a deep-fried slice of goats cheese because my local chippie is Delightful
spiteologist
so i literally just mean "a range of cheesy food, fried"
6LilacMimeLions
oh, excellent
spiteologist
that man understands me
nico
oh that sounds so good
6LilacMimeLions
i feel like there's a strong
us 🤝 scotland
DEEP FRY IT
solidarity thing here
spiteologist
scotland is the deep fry capital of the world
spiteologist
i will point u to both deep fried mars bars and deep fried pizza as proof

so, yes. your feeling is Correct.
nico
all my local chippys are boring when it comes to frying stuff. scotland once again doing it right
6LilacMimeLions
us will deep fry anything, especially at a county fair
spiteologist
scotland like listen it's cold and dreich and WE WILL FRY EVERYTHING
6LilacMimeLions
deep fried ice cream is actually tasty af and i hate that
spiteologist
we will fry it or put it in a pie these are the two options
nico
i feel like everything here ends up in a pie or a stew
spiteologist
personally my greatest shock is that nobody, to my knowledge, sells deep-fried macaroni pies

get on that, scotland, you're letting the side down
spiteologist
nixthat where u at?
nico
liverpool-ish
spiteologist
oh yeah
Nika
MMMMMMM fried cheese
spiteologist
although have u considered: suet pudding
Nika
I'm glad to hear you've made Great Food Decisions
spiteologist
bc my father assures me leek pudding is even more of a Thing round you than in durham/northumberland way
6LilacMimeLions
the us doesn't really do puddings as a course and i'm still not entirely sure what "a pudding" is
nico
I HAVE i had one. maybe two days ago
spiteologist
6LilacMimeLions nobody is don't worry that's why i had to specify suet
6LilacMimeLions
i've watched a lot off gbbo and i still don't know
spiteologist
pudding is one of those words that just has Many Meanings
nico
i always just say theyre like a pie but better
spiteologist
and you are correct
6LilacMimeLions
the best part of gbbo is seeing contestants be like "oh yeah my nan used to make wobbly victoria splats every sunday, i've got this" and then have a meltdown over being asked to make american-style pies
6LilacMimeLions
two countries divided by a common language, etc
spiteologist
i don't know what makes an american-style pie tbh
nico
ive never had a leek pudding though, only meats
spiteologist
besides not having a proper lid on it
6LilacMimeLions
neither do i, afaict it's just "a pie"
6LilacMimeLions
WE DO PIES WITH TWO CRUSTS i genuinely don't know what the difference is
spiteologist
i assumed the difference was just that we make savoury pies more
spiteologist
but like. it's not like we don't make a wide range of fruit pie?
nico
is a pie not just a pie
spiteologist
I STRUGGLE TO SEE HOW A PIE CAN BE OTHER THAN PIE
spiteologist
except for pies that only have a lid and no crust, those are fake pies sorry. give me the rest of the pie.
nico
thats not a pie thats disappointment
spiteologist
that's not a pie that's a gratin
spiteologist
...or that
spiteologist
i like that you just came in WAY hotter than me on the topic
nico
A PIE NEEDS A LID
6LilacMimeLions
we do qualify things you would call custard as pies
spiteologist
yes. a custard pie. surely.
6LilacMimeLions
like, lemon meringue pie? that's a custard
spiteologist
that's a pie
6LilacMimeLions
we just don't call anything "custard"
nico
thats a pie
spiteologist
but a SAD pie
spiteologist
custard goes ON the pie
6LilacMimeLions
hottest of takes: pies are wildly inferior to cakes
6LilacMimeLions
don't @ me
nico
baffled as to how something can be "a custard"... custard is custard...
spiteologist
i won't @ you because i don't have to ping you to tell you you're wrong
spiteologist
a well-spiced apple pie with custard is better than many cakes
nico
my hot take is that pies and cakes are equals because you can eat a meat pie and then eat a good cake after
spiteologist
also you can't have savoury cake
6LilacMimeLions
u could just make an apple cake and skip the horrible tasteless crust
spiteologist
or u could make a decent crust
6LilacMimeLions
yes you can, it's called "bread"
6LilacMimeLions
there is no such thing as a "good crust"
nico
why is your pie crust tasteless..
spiteologist
vodka shortcrust with cinnamon and good butter
spiteologist
boom
spiteologist
better yet: make a brandy shortcrust for your mince pies, thank me later
spiteologist
also it is NOT called bread are you BAITING me???
6LilacMimeLions
ALL PIE CRUST IS TASTELESS including the "good" shit my mémé made
spiteologist
bread has no eggs and it has different raising agents! and brioche doesn't count as either!
spiteologist
sorry for ur bad taste but that's not our fault
nico
tasteless pie crust... im having a moment
spiteologist
itp: northern exasperation
6LilacMimeLions
like i'm trolling here, but also: pastry is so bad idk how people eat it
nico
YEAH... yeah
spiteologist
next you will be saying chips aren't a vegetable
6LilacMimeLions
oh no that's ridiculous
6LilacMimeLions
chips/fries are absolutely the veggie course
spiteologist
ok i better go pick up my pizza and deep-fried cheese
Nika
pastry IS generally bad, and although I'd be willing to try this brandy pie crust thing, generally I'm Against things having crusts
6LilacMimeLions
finally, a voice of reason
spiteologist
GET OUT OF MY PLURK YOU HEATHENS
nico
pastry is delicious
spiteologist
pelts you with macaroni pies
nico
go get your fried cheese i hope its good
6LilacMimeLions
/eats the centers, feeds the dog the crusts
spiteologist
update it turns out the curry place is actually closed for some reason so i guess it's good i went for pizza
spiteologist
