I went in B&M Bargains today, and this one had a chilled foods area, with milk and so forth. I haven't seen that before.

They also had artisanal vodka too, cheap. So I bought some for tomorrow.

How is that applied?

It's not like rubbing vodka for your skin, it's drinking alcohol, to drink.

Monday?

Yes indeed.

Sunday is a drink-free day because it's my weekly hotel change day, and since they changed the check-in time from 2pm to 3pm, there isn't enough time to get properly drunk after I've carried all my nomadic luggage inside.

I've just had two "American pasties" I bought from Heron.

I expected them to be like Cornish pasties but, flavourwise, they were more akin to Fajitas.

I was disappointed by their lack of Cornishness but they tasted OK.

You need some Dorset heroin now.

I wish I had some some Hampshire scag.

American pasties, that's a very strange idea. Americans don't really have meat pies as such.

I used normal cotton pads for my vodka facials. Got out of the habit.

I ventured into B&M again today, and purchased a pack of fresh poppadoms and a tin of potatoes.

by Fangirl Three Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:59 am

Yesterday it was B&M again, for more Pasta Pronto and a Dol Mio stir-in sauce, 75p cheaper than in Adsa.

I also bought a torch and a new keyboard.

Today, Heron had some steak and cheese pies.

This sounds like a strange combination.

I have bought some to discover what they're like.

Once I have eaten them, I shall pass my verdict upon them.

by cosmictanya Wed Oct 25, 2023 3:20 pm

That does seem like a curdling combination. I await the review with interest.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 25, 2023 4:02 pm

I shall try them tomorrow and report back upon my findings.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Oct 26, 2023 7:48 pm

I have now had them.

It is an experience I shall not be repeating.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Oct 26, 2023 7:48 pm

It turns out that steak and stilton go together as well as you'd expect.

by Nightjar Thu Oct 26, 2023 8:14 pm

I shouldn't like steak from an ethical perspective.

But I do.

I'm not as 'into' pies and pastry as most are.

But I will.

I dislike blue cheese quite a lot.

And I don't.

Ultimately, steak (and its accompanying gravy) combined with Stilton (towards the sharp end of disliked blue cheeses) sounds a bit 'rich'.

Ultimately, is it a thing - as a pairing?

I've not heard of it before.
