Looks like a dish or maybe a bowl to me.

Your a bowl to me.

And you're such a dish.

Yum, what's in a Chinese sausage?

Gonna make a chicken salad. With lentils.

I think it's from Habitat (or possibly the Sainsburys versions).

We were going to get them, but then we found that square, black plates were more expensive, so we alternative between those and slabs of old scaffolding board.

I thonk I might get some beautiful round plates with the words "square plates rule" written on them to give to GH as a present.

Food books all spoken for now, thanks for freeing up space so I can buy new ones!

Anyone Haggising tomorrow? Got a gutty parcel of peppery sheep's lung and oatmeal cowering timorously in the fridge right now.

jesus, why...

Because i'm 99% scotchish.

and it's delicious

you're from forest hill!

ha. "bung" = arsepipe

Made Baghali Polo ba Mahiche this evening which was something I haven't had since I was a kid and I made it largely from memory.

Had some Iranian friends who used to cook it for us. It wasn't a million miles off but it definitely wasn't as good as theirs. They used to do something to the rice that gave it a crisp shell so they could turn it out of the pot like a cake and cut it into slices - mine was just a pile of rice and dill. Used to spend hours on Saturday mornings shelling broad beans and grilling lamb.

I wish. Accent is Suburban Garden City but the accident of birth was Edinburgh, upbringing Dunfermline and the genes are 50% Balerno and 50% Croydon.

Boiled arse-sausage and stinky scotch is my birthright.

Wow how do you cope with the culture difference...actually how did your parents!!!

If you go all the jews are to blame for everthing...does that mean you are channelling your brethren?

Once you see the stuff that goes in sausages...

Garlic presses - talk to me.

My over 30 year old metal garlic press has been broken. Need a replacement. What do you recommend?

Enamel rice plate - actually very useful because you can bake in it and serve saucier type meals in it

I think the one we had was: http://www.wingwah.com/eng/products/default.aspx?c=120392

but you can get it from the asian store at the bottom of Hackney road near those naff italian shoe shops. The glutinous rice was made by the missus' dad and is seriously good

Claypot rice, mmmm...
