I'm not such a pudding person, I prefer my dinner. These are my top three.

Roast chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots, peas, sprouts, gravy.

Steak and kidney pie, with mash and peas.

Fish, chips and mushy peas.

Which dinners do you like best?

Why revive it then? confused

What a depressing thread this has become!

Stansgran Mon 21-Mar-16 20:00:28

One or two posters make me feel like someone's run their fingernails down the blackboard .so I don't make any comment on the threads they are on. But. I do want occasionally to be as rude as JBF or Polly. But I have a life .

The answer to your amazingly ridiculous question annsixty is, no, I can't catch 'em anymore.

Ana Wed 16-Mar-16 20:27:51

Especially when some posters follow other posters around agreeing with them Ana.

Yes, you've accused me of that before, Tegan. And the accusation is as ridiculous now as it was then.

I don't usually swear but I was seriously hacked off by the attitude of some on here.

I always want to ask , do you kiss your GC with those mouths. BUT I don't use "swearing " myself and I don't like to hear it or use it. However I am seriously depressed and feeling miffed with life so disregard my opinions .

In reality, "We've been here longer than you" is meaningless and doesn't make you any better than the rest of us and doesn't give you any special privileges. Some people really need to get over themselves.

Anyway, if I had a fourth choice it would have to be steak and homemade wedges, with mushrooms and a salad. I've just eaten that and it was delicious.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Mar-16 19:15:46

Pathetic.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Mar-16 19:15:16

I seem to remember I put more bloody poems on there than you did missis! Is it all you've got to do - sit and criticise me? Situation normal.

Tegan Wed 16-Mar-16 19:12:35

I'd like some sort of clarification from HQ as to whether it's acceptable to tell people their posts are boring because they've been 'discussed before'. If it isn't in the forum guidelines then, imo, it should be because it smacks of cliques ie 'we've been here longer than you'. Especially when some posters follow other posters around agreeing with them Ana. You tried to derail the latest poetry thread as well, jingle. Have you nothing better to do?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Mar-16 18:40:23

Don't bother Ana. Not worth it. There are too many stuffed shirts on here. Including the ones residing at Gransnet Towers. hmm

Ana Wed 16-Mar-16 18:36:41

Tegan, I'm sure you'll agree that it's also rude to call other posters 'a load of miserable fuckers'. And that wasn't jingl.

Ana Wed 16-Mar-16 18:33:35

And you, merlot - chilly back in those olden days...wink

merlotgran Wed 16-Mar-16 18:30:56

Hello, Ana. Glad to see you've finally managed to thaw out. grin

Tegan Wed 16-Mar-16 18:30:34

I didn't report the post but, d'youknow what, I'm glad people did. It's downright rude to tell a poster to shut up because their topic has been discussed before. The golden rule should be if you're not interested in a topic [or find it repetitive or boring] just don't take part in it. Unless, of course the intention is to turn into a 'me me me' post #heavenforbidthatanyoneonherewoulddothat

Ana Wed 16-Mar-16 18:10:39

I hope they reported pollyparrot as well! shock

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Mar-16 18:09:29

As you were. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Mar-16 18:08:31

Can I just say that I hope the poor posters who were so upset over my 'fucking' post on here yesterday - so overcome by the vapours in fact, that it was all they could do to actually report me to GNHQ - have now fully recovered and are well on the road back to their usual state of tranquility. flowers cupcake and wine to soothe the oh-so-ruffled feathers.

hmm

TriciaF Wed 16-Mar-16 13:56:38

Elrel I agree about tasteless bought chicken. our own chickens have a strong flavour, but are sometimes tough.
My favourites are chicken casserole with homemade stuffing balls.
Some king of meaty fish (eg back of cod) baked with chopped onion and red peppers in orange juice - plus chips. Had that today.
Best of all shoulder of lamb slow cooked on top of vegetables.

Teetime. Not sure I could do frogs' legs even if they tasted like chicken. In Iceland, on a group holiday, we were served guillemot, or a seabird of some kind, so I opted for the trout alternative. Amazingly everyone else wanted the bird. I'm sure I could have eaten if if I hadn't known what it was. Same with horse meat, I've probably had it in ignorance.
Indinana I totally sympathise. If eating out with friends I just say I don't like steak/pork chops/gammon and go for an easier-to-eat option.

pollyparrot Tue 15-Mar-16 18:51:20

Roast chicken seems very popular with a lot of posters. I love it with stuffing, roasties, Yorkshire pud and veg, yum.

Thingmajig Tue 15-Mar-16 16:15:54

Steak pie (no kidney, thanks) from a local butchers
Roast chicken with roasties and yorkshire pudding
Lamb shank slow cooked in a rich gravy/sauce

Hungry thinking about all that and only biksemad (Danish leftovers dish) for dinner tonight hmm
