Mary Berry checking in. American pancakes use a lot of baking soda to get a butt-ton of fluffy bubbles through the batter as it cooks. It also makes the pancakes loving huge. On their own they have a salty, bitter taste which is why septics are forced to drench them in maple syrup and bacon cheese.

Change of topic. I got lost in Maidstone when I was 6 and got found by a family whose little boy had a pound puppy. You remember those flat dog soft toys? One of them.

I made the pancake batter in the normal way, but added a delicious twist of running marmite in the mixture too.

Put half a jar of 'mite in the microwave for a few seconds turns it goopy. Mix into the batter and fry that poo poo up as normal. Sprinkle grated cheese onto the flipped side of the pancake and let it melt onto the sizzling marmitey mix goodness.

I hope the Eurovision sound engineers can sort her out in the main show because she sounded super mousey and nervous on this :ohdear:

also yeah the song is super bland so it'll do "ok". At least we're not sending a rotting corpse this year

That's the point of it. Enter someone who can't possibly win. Eurovision costs a loving fortune to host, hence why previous winning countries suddenly go from having good entries to loving atrocious not-even-on-a-pub-karaoke-night terrible. Do you really think we try to win given several very high profile and successful UK acts have voluntereed to represent the UK in previous years were rejected for Eurovision? Its quite sad really, if it every country made an honest effort and put forward their best acts forward it would be an amazing show to watch. Not the who's currently top in the charts with the teens list acts, I mean the honest to God talented, "Will be remembered with great fondness for decades" acts that each country has.

Sure is a shame the BBC aren't running any kind of competition in the run-up to Eurovision where 4 industry veterans and the unwashed public vote for people who have the best Voice to sing a song for the illegal immigrant benefit-stealing scum.

The song the BBC overseers did pick, I kinda like. It's poo poo by any standard, but it ticks a lot of Eurovision boxes. This year they seem to have drunk the Kool-Aid and gone all out to produce a Eurovision-quality dong instead of just re-animating corpses frozen since the 80s.

Bonnie Tyler had no place in Eurovision last year. She already had a career path laid out appearing on anti-smoking pictures on cigarette packets.

I used to have a pound puppy and have lived in Maidstone since 1985ish (would have been 3 then).

Did the boy look a bit like pob but with massive pointy ears?

Everybody in Maidstone looks like pob to me mate (what am I saying, I was born on the Isle of loving Sheppy, you all look like beautiful, glowing angels to me!). A better way to solve this mystery is to ask if you have a childhood memory of finding a small crying girl wandering about? You would have been with your mum and dad and I seem to recall the pound puppy was grey...or brown.

That video has everything that was wrong with early-2000s music in it, along with it being a terrible song. No surprise it earned nul points and there was even some talk of the uk's involvement with the invasion of iraq going against it as well.

Teynham's always seemed quite nice to me. Probably because I'm right in the middle of the Chav motherland, sandwiched between two nightclubs and a fire station so during times of utter madness even Sheppey can look appealing to me.

GIMME GIMME GIMME, DON'T ASK WHAT FOR
Pedricko if you can suitably describe your sausages in a mouthwatering fashion then perhaps I shall purchase some while you're here in London (for 17 days)

the last time i bought gourmet sausage I think it was Giggly Pig. It was OK

and why you guys gotta dis our merikan pancakes? If youve ever bought Betty Crocker, that's american and that mix is what we sometimes use when lazy, nothing different. bit of butter to go on them while they're hot so it melts, then some maple syrup and your rainy day is suddenly much better so dont talk shite. Ive never even heard of this lemon and sugar bull and I got a crepe machine

By the way crepe machine is the best way to make pancakes/crepes/pancrepes, seriously just throw like 6 on there at the same time if youre a lonely goon, or if you are not alone and in misery you and your mates can serve themselves at will and its fantastic

p.s.

(be careful traveling sausage man, london can be dangerous)

The live performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJ62IG3gBo) of that song was an even bigger crime against humanity than the Iraq invasion. If flat notes had been bombs they'd have leveled the entire Middle East. That's why they got nul points handed to them.

Sausage-wise I buy mine from the local butchers as they tend to be a lot cheaper than the pre-packed supermarket stuff. And considering supermarket brand-name form, their sausages are likely to be mechanically-reformed horse dick. At least when I buy from the butcher I know the only contamination of the food chain comes from the sweaty palms of some apprentice butcher.
