Food

The only tinned soup we buy is this one:



Peas, pork and.. flesk is like meat that's very fatty.

It's a yellow, dense pea soup with lots of pork. Tins are like 8 dollars or so, but it's also very good and quite filling 🙂

Tore, that reminds me a bit of ærtesuppe, Danish pea soup with pork hock that my grandmother used to make.  Except maybe flesk is more like salt pork than pork hock.  Hearty stuff for cold winters.

Find it interesting how flags are on the produce of whatever country you buy the food in.

Here it's almost excessive and I wonder how much it happens in other countries. People seem to love that shit here. Big Union Jacks on your eggs and milk and cheese and pretty much everything else. I get why you would want to buy local but it's noticeable how much the flag is on these things.

It happens less in Scotland now (with the Union Jack) as they tend to appease the nationalists. They actually have a campaign up there, "If its got a Jack, put it back" 😂, so they use the saltire instead. They also have to call British Gas 'Scottish Gas' up there even though its the same company. Pathetic. I don't think I've ever seen a St George's Cross on any produce ever.

I wouldn't be able to consume that. I had a bad experience with peas when I was younger and now no longer eat them.

I love peas, they go really well as a side to a nice chicken dish. Also a big fan of snow peas to accent a hearty salad.

That being said I'm not a big fan of pea soup either.

It's probably the same in that if we make it ourselves from scratch, we also typically would use a pork hock and not this 'flesk'. It is very hearty indeed!

It's not as much here as in England. I don't normally notice it.. but I'll keep an eye out next time I'm in store 🙂

Did you nearly choke on one or what?

I love yellow peas, even if eating them means the warm southernly winds will come blowing later in the evening.

I got some green peas in a can from a pantry bag. I proceeded to eat them out of the can and I ended up getting food poisoning. So to this day, just chomping into the mushy texture of peas gives me hardcore flashbacks and turns my stomach. I can't eat peas.

^ Oh, that's too bad and understandable why you'd be turned off peas after that.   

Speaking of yellow peas, I found some raw ones scattered on the kitchen floor when I was a toddler and proceeded to put a few up my nose for some strange reason.  As the day went on and I became more and more uncomfortable, my family figured out what I had done and I was rushed to a local medical clinic.  The doctor had to remove the peas (which had since traveled way up my nose) using a long forceps-type bent scissor.  Fun.

Oh man, you really lined yourself up for some pea brain jokes here. Must resist temptation!!

Uk lads and ladies.

What's Banoffee?

If I even spelled it correctly.

Pretty sure it's a type of dessert pie. But it just means banana and toffee so you could theoretically have banoffee loads of things.

You could have banoffee pie or banoffee ice cream. Banoffee pie is popular. You probably mean that.

I haven't had it BTW. I don't eat sweet things.

I was wondering what your verdict is on it but yeah you don't eat sweets so. I shouldn't be eating sweets but I do anyways. I try to stick to fruits to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings but my wife loves snacks and there is always so much temptation in the house.

Sorry, I just don't understand what you mean.

Any other avid oatmeal eaters in this thread?

What are your favorite oatmeal toppings? I have come to the conclusion recently that I don't like fresh raspberries as much as I do the artificial flavoring of it. The texture reminds me too much of strawberries which I'm not a fan of either.

I mainly stick to bananas and blueberries in my oatmeal but I'm looking to spruce it up some. Maybe I will find inspiration in others.

Honey if I eat it out a bowl.

But I just put it in a protein beaker as you know.

I absolutely love raspberries and bananas. Strawberries I'm less keen on because they have less give to the texture and I like the juiciness of a good raspberry.
