Cornelius Rooster Drops Right Wing

breibert-kelloggs

 

Kellogg’s, famous for its multicoloured cornflake rooster, has ceased to advertise on Breibart, following a number of controversial articles such as “Would You Rather Your Child Had Feminism Or Cancer?”.

Breibart have responded with a stream of rhetoric, calling the move “an escalation in the war by leftist companies”, in order to “placate left-wing totalitarians.”

Alexander Marlow, editor in chief, added, “If you serve Kellogg’s products to your family, you are serving up bigotry at your breakfast table.”

The relationship has certainly become Frostie.

Whereas Kellogg’s may well find themselves boycotted, I feel their stance is worth supporting. Just Right is surely easier to stomach that Alt-Right. Breibart could do with a kick in the crunchy nuts. Link to Guardian article.

Anchovy In The UK

 

anchovie-in-the-uk

This was a kind of botched British tapas; a melange of anchovy, chicken stew, tuna, fried chicken wings and soft cheese triangles, thrown together like a 70’s punk band; without any thought for good taste.

The anchovy is a strange fish, one of the few fish to become a pizza topping. A highly scented sprat that comes in a jar. Just tip them on a plate and they’re done.

anchovie-ukThe chicken stew was just thigh with the skin pulled off and slow cooked in some water with herbs in it. I opened and added some chopped mixed stew vegetables. It turned out more of a broth and no-one ate it. Not exactly finger food.

The best was Joe’s sizzling tuna, the recipe for this is on the site somewhere.

If punk is the tapas of the urban guerrilla, this is the best fish since Sild Vicious.

Never Mind The Pollocks

never-mind-the-pollocks

First of all you’ve got to be hungry enough to open up the bag of pollocks that’s been festering in the freezer.

Pour milk into a saucepan, enough to cover the fish

Top up whatever milk you don’t have with water and bring to a simmer

Put a couple of frozen cubes of spinach into the milk and defrost

Cut an onion up into little bits and add

Place a jacket potato in the microwave and blast on full power for 6 minutes

Whilst this is microwaving, tip the pollock in the pan.

If it doesn’t fit, it snaps easily by the way

Stir it all round until it seems cooked, the pollock bag I bought suggested 6 minutes

Add herbs and such like to taste

john-lyndon

Add Country Life butter (of course) to the potato and serve alongside fish.

Rage Cuisine Tip:

Never mind the pollocks. God save the bream.

Number 16 Is Slightly Related To Food.

I would have preferred a smaller and more exclusive list, 98 in particular is not in common parlance and I suspect they just made it up.

The Christian owners of a Northern Ireland bakery have lost their appeal against a ruling that their refusal to make a “gay cake” was discriminatory.

The proposed cake in question was considered gay as it included the word ‘gay’ on the top. The cake itself was gender neutral.

Rage Against Jamie’s Paella

According to media reports, Mr Oliver stuck his highly-spiced paprika sausage where it wasn’t welcome – in Spain’s national dish!

This follows another international gaffe when he inserted a lemon wedge into a west African rice dish, causing one commentator’s soul to hurt.

Dr Joe’s Sizzling Tuna Party Pan

sizzling-tunaHad this one last night, sizzling tuna served in a saucepan.

Saute onion in butter, add tuna, black pepper, red chilli powder, garlic powder, garlic paste and some hot chilli sauce.

When the butter is getting dry put an egg in the middle, wait will the sides of the egg turn white but the yolk is still raw, and mix it all together. Add one fork per person and serve with Glen Morangie.

The Great Avocado Heist – Kiwis Dip Into Crime!

avo

New Zealand has been hit by a wave of avocado thefts this year after a poor growing season. The increased popularity of these fruits have driven up the price of a single avocado to about CDN$3.50-5.50 (NZ$4-6 each), according to a report in The Guardian. The stolen fruit is reportedly being sold at local markets, but orchards have started upping security to thwart thieves. For the time being, law-abiding Kiwis will have to either cut back on guac and avo toast they’re consuming and Instagramming, or shell out more green for their avos.

Other burglary related food capers…

Maple Syrup
The elaborate heist of approximately $18 million worth of maple syrup in Quebec in 2011-12 stuck with Canucks. Eventually 26 people were arrested in relation to the crime, according to Global News. At one point Jason Segel was reportedly set to star in a Hollywood comedy based on what’s been dubbed the Great Maple Syrup Caper. Alas, Segel’s IMDB page does not list any syrup-related projects, leaving things open for CBC to a do a movie-of-the-week version with one of the Canadian Ryans (Gosling or Reynolds), mais non?

Nutella
People are rightfully nuts about Nutella. Thieves in Germany made off with five metric tons of the yummy hazelnut-chocolate spread back in 2013. At the time, there was no word on what the thieves planned to do with approximately $20,000 worth of the gooey stuff. One can only assume the thieves had a crepe, banana and Nutella celebratory meal after pulling off the heist, then reluctantly sold the remaining tubs on the black market.

This skate is formerly of a Scottish school, is noted for its distinctive crown, and is a fish fit for a king. Long may she ray’n.

Give quiche a chance


Quiche is a much misunderstood flan and savoury bake. Whereas its origins in French cuisine may not have done its tough guy reputation any favours, it was the 1982 book Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche which finally put the kibosh on it.

In reality, making a quiche is a challenge that only a true hard case would attempt. Some ghetto pimps are rumoured to bake nothing else. The recipe is as follows:

Kentucky Fecal Coliform

kfc

Reports out today show that faecal bacteria was found in a KFC in Leeds, on ice used by the drinks machine. The company, founded by Colon Saunders, issued a statement saying it was “extremely disappointed” with the ice test results.

Whereas it must be easy to get an ice scoop and a poop scoop mistaken, perhaps they should stick to basic hygiene rather than finger licking for the time being.
