The Banter Cafe

The word cafe, however, brings to mind French cuisine with cafe latte on the side.

Which of our former colonies do you hail from?

A bit of Brit banter. Al Murray, the Pub Landlord:

I can add cheese to the beans if you want?

No cheese (heart attack waiting to happen), just rye bread toast with plain old beans and a coffee, please and thank you. How easy is that? Hey do you make your own rolls, like Carpy's rolls?

Over here in Good old England we've dropped the pronunciation 'E' off cafe, so it sounds more like saying caff.

Do I make my own rolls? Do I ****!

Baked beans are way full of salt and sugar, mind. Before you ask, no, I don't make my own. They are Tesco's Savers brand. 29p a tin. Quality.

Hold on just one minute! What type of cookware do you use? I am waiting for my new stainless steel fry pans to arrive tomorrow as I am switching completely to stainless steel and cast iron.

The reality of the chemicals and plastics that cook into your food from treated cookware is horrifying.

This is why I stay home and do my own cooking.

You're not wrong. Old teflon pans are bad news.

Exclusively Le Le Creuset here, of course.....

Yeah, that coating releases chemicals into your food too so they say, but better than teflon or whatever they are using nowadays. The manufacturers won't tell us.

How about "Cheezy Peaz"?





Wisdom knocks quietly, always listen carefully. And never hit "SEND" or "REPLY" without engaging brain first.

I do wonder how hygienic those types of amusement parks really are when it comes to food storage and prep.
