Harry & Meghan #437 When life gives you lemons, make overpriced strawberry jam

[HadBax]

I suspect this might be her attempt at making a bacon, Brie and cranberry toastie…..except with strawberry mush water instead of cranberry jelly.
I must admit I had never heard of refrigerator jam until someone mentioned it on here. My S-i-L is American and when she and my brother come over to visite she hoovers up strawberries like they’re going out of fashion. She maintains strawberries from the USA have no great flavour due to the way they are grown and speed of cultivation. (She used to work for Dept of Agriculture, or whatever it is called over there, as a scientist) So, a tasteless watery gloop on toast…no thanks

And they say the Scots are bad for deep frying everything! SiL says that Country Fairs are amazing for their unhealthy obsession with deep frying. She and the brother saw deep fried ice cream bars and DEEP FRIED BEER!

Knife in jam, place dod of jam on plate use knife to do spreading as and when. I think it’s the transfer of crumbs/butter that’s the issue……unless some clarty b@stard licks their knife and then decides to have another go in the jam pot

BIB: You should see some of the fried foods offered at the Texas State Fair, which is the US’s largest state fair. It has a competition each year for the most innovative deep-fried foods. Examples of past items include fried Coke, fried Twinkies, and fried butter. While I appreciate the … creativity…, I always give them a swerve since I don’t care for most fried foods. I wonder what Smeg would make if she entered this year’s competition. Fried avocado toast? Fried lemons? Fried roast chicken?

The whole feminist and womens Empowerment crap never fails to annoy the tit out of me as a woman I wish those who keep spouting this would quit trying to ride What In western society should be a dead horse, look at how many women have been In positions of power in recent history like Queen Elizabeth, Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meier, Angela Merkel among others

But they were all women of intelligence and talent. The Ho is not but her massive ego won't allow her to believe that so she attributes her lack of succes to prejudice. Just as she thinks when people don't like her or criticise her it's cos she is black. Allegedly.

I will wait for the mackerel pate sure to be a winner!

Yeah, as a cheaper alternative to anaesthetic !

I can't believe her parents were haply to see their 17 year old daughter date a 24 year old man.

I am replying to your post again as I have just read up on Paolo Liuzzo’s past before he met Bea and would have thought her parents would have been unhappy with that but apparently they supported them dating.

I don’t know how old you are but I remember a time when I thought anyone who was 21 was ancient!

Fried strawberry sludge jam.

I still can’t get my head around the Chrissy teigen dish. I like bacon Brie and cranberry in a toastie but I don’t think I’d ever be tempted by strawberry jam?! I also needs something organic like rocket or watercress to combat the gooey, almost too sweet flavour.

Such a classy family

I did thinly sliced apple and a couple of homegrown coriander leaves back when we couldn't get butter or cheese or preserves during the first lockdown and had to ration oil etc (especially since we have a person with Caeliac living with us). Untoasted or lightly-toasted in pan. It felt a bit odd in concept but was actually pretty tasty.


Actual strawberry jam might go well with brie and bacon (have never tasted it, I think, but the descriptions sound tempting!), but not the sludge that Smegs is selling. That texture is not good at all!

The Yorks are spies?

These headlines are awful, and come a couple of weeks after hints that the York girls have been frozen out. If so, this is the wrong way to deal with it and would have never happened in HM's time. She stood for unity, and everyone was in the big tent.

We had this report a couple of says ago, yes? It would not have been Camilla who did this if it's true, it will have been Chuck. Imo she has no business doing this anyway. How are the York girls spies, how was this decided and by whom? The York family is really taking a battering and PA's getting slagged off again today. This disunity and squabbling in the RF is sending out a bad message, and if the Yorks were found to be passing on information Chuck should have dealt with them privately himself with no crass publicity.

I can't see Bea or Eugenie getting much information anyway. KP is sewn up tight especially I suspect against BP just as of old.
The press refers constantly to Chuck as"cancer-stricken", but has he or his wife remembered that Sarah is also cancer-stricken?

My

My parents were happy to see their 19 year old daughter (me) date a 26 year old man, marry him, have two children and be happily married for 51 years.

Age is just a number unless you are a 42 year old Ho trying to get off with an 80+ year old billionaire……. Just to keep the post on topic!

A difference between 19 and 17 though... 51 years!! fantastic

George’s latest…..

 

[ChaoticArtist]

I think he perhaps is besotted with the rancid trout, but he never looks happy with her. He increasingly looks like a hostage. It’s very mysterious

Sounds like what's called 'vashikaran' in Hindi - possession. Whether it's black magic, keeping them drugged, in sexual thrall, abusive bond (can't recall what that's called - it's been a long day), etc. I find it quite interesting that even though soooo many don't believe, it's a common concept in many cultures across the world.

Given Dorina's supposed history, I wouldn't be surprised if she and her daughter indulge in the dark practices - whether magical or non-magical (although we do know about Smegsy's physical and verbal abusiveness).

Wallis and Edward mk 2 is very fitting. I do like ‘rancid trout’.

 

[wibble]

Lol...

So were they all sent on the same day as the foliage looks identical

I'm picturing il Duce, and those already humiliated to join the jam cult, turning up on the next victim's doorstep - camera crew in tow.

The only way to scare them off is to play Taylor Swift records or have a picture of Catherine, Princess of Wales, in your front window.

Like the "come as you are" parties Veronica Lodge would throw. She'd be all dressed up and go around her friends' homes collecting them as they were, with the 'collected' ones joining in dragging others out

 

[JAR21]

Just to repeat the bleedin obvious: Smeg doesn't have a 'popularity problem', she has the most monumental of all personality problems.

So, what would improve her popularity in the UK?
I really can't think of anything.
She's completely blown it.

I even considered things like what if she were to walk naked around the Royal Palaces, churches and Parliament streets of London every Sunday for the next 10 years, flagellating herself in penance for all the utterly vile, cruel, mendacious things she's said and done to the people of the UK and the BRF....

Not even that did it for me.
She has thoroughly Markled herself.

Smeg, you really need to get this.
You really are finished here.




Anyone got anything else that might restore her to our good graces...?

I love Aussie Sky News!

 

[wibble]

Not exactly A listers are they? And who the hell 'curates' their friends? Apart from cynical, manipulative, unlikeable witches.

Shes a right curator.
She has been for years.

Thanks @LadyMuck 🏍
Discussion of Invictus Games. The Stoat didn't found it, it was a team effort. The Cambridges donated millions to IG but the Sussexes did not. There was an investigation into the Royal Foundation finances but the findings were buried like so much else.

The Stoat avoided problems by moving money from one charity to another, some non-profit and charitable foundations to Travalyst a limited company. Sussex Royal was dissolved with a £70,000 debt - where did the money go? Even when the Stoat had money to support IG he didn't, and the taxpayer is paying 30M for IG 2025.

Their hotel was 5,000 a night (Euros?) and BookWorm mentioned a 1.5M appearance fee though this is unsubstantiated.
Invictus Games is about the veterans, but it's become the Meghan Show and is getting worse. She's on stage yakking and the veterans are an optional extra.

There's a rumour that Mike and Zara might take over as patrons, that the Stoat has been sacked, but unfortunately it's untrue. They or Peter Philips would make excellent patrons.
IG Germany has been started independently of Invictus Games, and will be held annually, this year in Dusseldorf on 27th and 28th July.
The Stoat is threatening to not attend the IG Commemoration in St Paul's in May, because of security concerns. He has bodyguards, and this is rubbish.
