@BeautifulTrauma I can't quote you cos this is a new thread but I remember Rice. They did a really nice chilli chicken. Manchester used to have 2 of them.

I don’t remember Rice but my first ever Saturday job was in the food court at the Metro Centre. I used to be majorly star struck when the cast of Byker Grove - including Ant and Dec - would come in. I worked in a bit that sold jacket potatoes and for some reason, which makes no sense at all, we sold side salads which were served in seashells. Fancy.

So the vegan crackling:
Never existed? A metaphor for all her current good works/activism?
She's waiting for somebody else to out in the work and make it so she can accuse them of being all up on her niche without putting the work in?
Contains honey?

This recipe includes 'crackling'. It is just fried bread though! Can't find a publishing date for it.

My husband and I went down the wormhole of old drinks the other day.
He was going on about Kia - Ora and um bongo. I used to love u- bingo and sunnyd. Unfortunately they’ve took out all the E numbers and sugar so they’re not as good. There’s also the issue of some racist adverts. Especially when it comes toKia-Ora. I also use to love tizer and vimto. My mum thought a twist and squeeze was hydrating enough for a lunch box 😂😂

I remember we got taken to a sunny d basketball event in primary school. So about ‘97. I was soooo excited. I expected the full star, stripes and banners basketball experience.

it was a gym hall in a run down secondary school, in a particularly rough area. The only sunny d bit was the drink at the end. GUTTED

I remember Rice in Manchester. Sadly closed a few years ago. It was great and I used to frequent it frequently!
 
I used to love the ads for Kia-Ora when I was younger - I went through a phase of really annoying everyone by saying on repeat: ‘it’s too orangey for crows’. I only learnt about the racist implications of the ads when I was older. Just looked it up now after seeing it mentioned here and found these two recipes 😱🤢

You can still get vimto - we have a bottle of it sporadically kicking about 😂

My daughter had some vimto the other day. Same as everything it’s crap since they got rid of all the additives. I can’t stomach ribena now. Capri suns and slush puppies are not the sweet sweet hangover relief they used to be.

i love Capri suns but remember seeing a couple of articles a few years ago about mould inside them and it’s put me off.... in 25+ years of drinking them I never experienced bad taste but this has put me off

I had a Capri sun a few months back and was shocked at just how sweet & unlike fruit juice it was considering the sugar tax! What was it like before?!

I know they still do fruit winders but they only do weirdo bleeping flavours now, I miss the orange ones! I assume they’re only doing flavours they can get to pass new food standards? 😂

Also devastated Jack deleted the tweet to Allegra, I was honestly expecting to wake up to more insta thot shots in an attempt to wiggle her way back into that ritzy flat!!
 
OK I just had a quick look on twitter after the mention that it's still there, as suspected its not on her twitter it never was, to see the Allegra tweet, for me anyway, you have to click the original tweet to open up the replies and Jack's tweet to Allegra is the first reply, so yes it's still there, but no reply and she hasn't liked it.
