I drove under the Bat bridges on the A11 this afternoon.
In about half an hour, I'll be driving back under them going t'other way..

Microwaved chips? Have you thought this through?

Yes! In a sealed plastic take away tub and stored in the fridge they can be microwaved for just over a minute and taste just like fresh ones.

Taste like. Maybe. I'll grant that. Personally, though, I eat chips as much for the texture as the taste, and limp soggy things can taste like heaven for all I care. Chips need to be at least a bit crispy.

Take those same day-old chips, and place them on a baking tray in a hot oven (200 or so), and if you take them out at the right moment you'll get hot, crispy and tasty chips, with no sogginess at all.

Home made? Good depth of (homemade) marzipan? How long has the cake been soaked with brandy? These details are important before I plan my next steps.

Both home made, the fruit of the pudding was steeped in brandy for a few days, and upon serving brandy was poured on and set alight, served with brandy sauce.

The cake, a rich fruit cake, was made in the summer and regularly serviced with brandy, however there was no marzipan ‘cos marzipan is Mephistopheles‘ own toe jam, I feckin hate marzipan. Instead various fruits and a glaze adorned the top of the cake.

I don't mind how chips are, soggy or crispy , just so long as they are cooked.
My local chip shop doesn't waste money on fancy plastic boxes but serves them in grease proof paper bags wrapped in paper.
The fish is fresh cod which breaks into large white chunks and isn't a battered minnow like I've had elsewhere.

Five? Either you were telling porkies previously, or @classic33 left more dummies than instructed.

It's more like I can't count.

What good is an engineer who can't count?

........The cake, a rich fruit cake...... there was no marzipan.......

No marzipan? NO MARZIPAN!! Your cake, sirra, is safe from me.

OK, well we'd best take a look at your mince pies. Homemade mince, obviously. How thick is your pastry, and how deep is the filling? I find the ratio of mince to pastry to be a really important factor in the decision to swallow, or hide it behind the aspidistra.

I reheat chips & roasties under the grill.

Or else, I just scarf them cold LOL...

I didn’t make the mince pies this year, two boxes of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference pies. They are the crack cocaine of mince pies.

You're telling porkies to try to throw me off the scent. Nobody eats bought mince pies.

Errr, he can't throw you off the scent, can he?
