I didn't have the energy yesterday afternoon to carry home both four pints of beer AND four pint of milk. As it was a Saturday, the beer won, so today, 20 October, I've been taking my coffee with milk that has a use by date of not 19 October, but 18 October.
It all comes down to common sense! There's even a drop left for my post tea cuppa.

Don't they sell milk in 1 pint pots ooop north then? And. What's a 'post tea cuppa' when it's at home? A cup of tea after your cup of tea? How does that work? (If you don't answer within the hour we can all presume it's actually not a good idea to drink out of date milk. *Drums fingers worriedly.*) |

Although I prefer tea with my tea, not later. |

I am irked by Cornish Pasties. I like a good pasty, but ever since they got protected geographical status the sort of pasty I like the most has disappeared. I liked the top-crimped pasty, rounded and bulging with tasty filling. Now all we have are sad, flat semicircles of pastry with a thin layer of taste in the middle and a huge crust around the edge. Folklore says that the crust acted as a handle so workers in the Cornish mines could eat their lunch without getting it dirty, but I don't need my food to have a handle because I live in a world where cutlery is a thing that exists. Give my back my copious filling, dammit! (Yes, I'm having a pasty for tea. Yes, it has a crust on the side.) True about the crust acting as a handle. Also they used to have meat and one end and jam at the other so you started at the top with your lunch and finished at the bottom with your dessert. A real Cornish party should have 21 crimps and a dollop of clotted cream added to the meat, potato and suede enhances the flavour. |

potato and suede enhances the flavour. Personally I'd find that a bit too chewy...🙃 |

Have you had a restless night worrying about me, Tibidabo? I'm pleased to report that I'm firing on all cylinders. If you think I'd pay 50p for one pint of milk, when four costs £1.10, then you really don't know me at all! I can normally polish off a carton of milk long before the use by date, but I got behind last week because of my trip to the Far East (of Yorkshire). For the record, I have a glass of milk with my tea, followed, sometime later once it's settled, by a cup of coffee with pudding. I don't drink tea, even Yorkshire Tea! |

If you were having fish and chips with vinegar on for your tea TallPaul, would you drink milk with that? 🤢 I remember going into a fish and chip shop in Buxton once, it was one of those with a cafe attached so you could eat them on a plate indoors. We were sat waiting for our fish and chips when we heard the waitress shout in the back “Mam!!!! Do we do latties?” And a disembodied retort “Not wi’fish no!” |

Though oddly, I do like a battered roe. The only time I have a hot drink with savoury food, rather than sweet, is when I'm staying in a hotel and have a full English for breakfast. 🥓🍳☕ |

The inside looks like a sort of solid taramasalata. Pale pink. I assume it’s the roe mushed up with mashed potatoes, formed into a patty then battered. My dad used to like them.  |

Tarasamalata indeed, BurlyBeaR. Is this what you've become after 15 years in Manchester? 🙂 Chip shop roe comes in a long tin and is simply sliced, battered and fried. No mashed potato, like in a rissole, as far as I'm aware. For tea tonight, it's my excellent (if I do say so myself) homemade chilli con carne. I refuse to make, or buy, meals for one, so I shall make enough for a family of four...and eat it all! |

No mashed potato, like in a rissole, as far as I'm aware. Its true. I’m all avocado toast and cappuccinos over here. Have you got avocados in the West Ridings yet? Last time I checked they’d reached North Derbyshire but my mum in Sheffield has never seen one. She does know the colour though, in relation to bathroom suites (but she gets mixed up with the pronunciation) “her at number 14 had that advocaado suite out last week... the toilet was a disgrace” etc. |

I went to Waitrose today. They had a shelf of Christmas puddings. Christmas pudding for tea, then.

Working my way through the freezer, because I'll be moving sometime next month. Tonight - possibly not the best schnitzel ever made, but definitely the best one I've ever made. (Granted, there's not a lot of competition there. It's not something I do often.)  |

Have you heard the devastating news, BurlyBeaR ? In Smeg fridges the length and breadth of the country, there are thousands of tubs of dangerous houmous. Fortunately, it's only humans being advised not to eat it. Bears should be fine, especially burly ones.  Dip anyone? |

I shall pop an English Muffin into my Dualit (four slice) and prepare some crudités.

I remember from my childhood in Derbyshire my parents frequently having roe (I'm assuming it was cod's although they never stipulated) which came fresh from the fishmonger. My mother used to coat it in flour and then shallow fry it as a tea time delicacy. I remember quite liking it myself but finding it rather rich in taste which the lemon juice sprinkled over only slightly counteracted.

Homemade corned beef hash for tea tonight. I'll be making enough for a family of four again, and serving it with two fried eggs before they expire tomorrow! 🍳🍳
The secret to a good hash? A generous dollop of brown sauce - not as a condiment, but as an ingredient.
