You were eavesdropping on a conversation that didn't concern you, you were rude to ask about the language, they replied in English and now you're upset? Do you only speak the local language in private conversations when you're on holiday? This is how stupid you sound.
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language. I asked them “What language are you speaking?” They responded “Hindi” I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.

Why is a stupid racist unable to comprehend that not every British person looks like her?

Why is an air crash in India treated like it happened in the UK?

FREE TO A GOOD HOME! Does anyone need a microwave or know someone who does? Perhaps a charity could use a microwave? Can deliver in the Greater London area or the north-east at Xmas. The microwave is perfectly serviceable. I just fancied a new science oven with extra functions.

FOOD TWITTER! Has anyone bought one of these multi-cookers or similar? Is the Reheat function on these bad boys any good? That is pretty much all we use the microwave for, so if it reheats well, I think I might pounce on a deal and ditch the microwave... breville.co.uk/food-prep-and…

Made these yesterday. Used sugar rather than maple syrup and added dessicated coconut. Forgot the baking powder, but it was fine. Like a nutty, fudgy Bounty bar... - Georgia minimalistbaker.com/fudgy-sw…

When two Australians reminisce about the abomination that is tuna mornay...
GBBO: In Australia, the 70s was the era of Tuna Mornay. As @georgialewis76 can confirm, tuna mornay was so awful that you would not feed it to your dog or cat. It was an abomination of a dish.

Pre-#strictly dinner prep! Turkey steaks with smoked paprika and dill, asparagus oven-ready with leftover hollandaise hazelnut butter, plus the makings of Ukrainian potatoes! 🇺🇦

Recipe here: munchingmatilda.com/recipe/b… (Ignore the suspiciously short cooking and prep times! I need to fix that...)
Great for livening up stews and casseroles, I use it in my bloody Mary tomato soup (served with a shot of vodka...), and in a pinch, it can be mixed with hot water for an emergency stock.

Yep. Fritters can be a great way to use up leftover curry or pasta sauce, especially if there's not quite enough to feed everyone for another meal. Just add the leftovers to the flour, eggs and water and fry.
Back in the 70s, when money was tight towards the end of the month, Mum used to make fritters. Some flour, an egg, water, and whatever she had to hand - a can of corn, a courgette, a bit of ham, anything really. A cheap and easy way to bulk out a meal.

We've see #GeorginaHayden's chicken on Instagram & it's definitely not "soupy chicken" @matt_tebbutt 😉😉🍅🍗🐓 #SaturdayKitchen @SaturdayKitchen We're also big fans of bulgur wheat too 🫶

Really keen to try orange wine. I love a good wine adventure, like the time I tried vin gris - grey wine - in Morocco, which is an amazing twist on rosé and it never gave me a hangover. - Georgia
Liking @jollyolly choice of orange wine 🥂🥂 for #GeorginaHayden's chicken on #SaturdayKitchen It's from Crete & apparently the skins have only been macerated in the wine for 7 days & isn't too tangy @SaturdayKitchen

Yes!
Shopping tip: If you have access to stores specialising in other cuisines, always check what they have in the freezer. They usually have interesting things that are quick and easy to heat up and are really well priced. Much cheaper than a takeaway.

For #fishfriday, I baked cod fillets served with a sweet potato and avocado salad with tahini, lemon and maple dressing. Cheated with the tartare sauce. I like to make it myself, but I got lazy and used some from a jar tonight. Yes, wine snobs, that's a chilled red... - Georgia
