The new Sean Bean (random banter) thread

I like it both ways, just depends on my mood. A nice even spread of jam with a dollop of cream or a nice spread or cream with a dollop of jam.

I recall having trouble getting them out of my older toaster and just frying them in butter instead :/

Woah, woah, woah, hold on there. Toaster? What madness is this?

[BaronSqwelch]

I like that toasting them seemed crazy to you but frying them in butter is fine

[endo]

I was still reeling from the toaster revelation, too shocked to even mention the butter frying debacle.

[shaffy_oppa]

Well I didn't have one of those toaster rack things to heat them and I didn't really want to heat up the oven.

I need my scones warm so that the butter melts into them.

[charlesr]

Phew. Warming them = safe. I too was struggling with the mentally perverted idea of actually toasting them, let alone

->Open Spoiler<-

frying them

. Need more care when posting - you almost sent a large group of people into hiding from the internet for a while.

Getting the mix on!


Oven heating up and tray greased!


2nd batch ready and waiting!

[kryss]

All set up!


And Bug approves!

I'm offended by the Christmas mug, it's ****ing November!

[kryss]

No, it's just sat there full of coffee. You've got quite the imagination there.
Pumpkin-scented candle burning there too.

The little jar is what is on the non-buttered ones - maple butter!

Those scowwwwns look amazing. Can't wait for my London visit. I'm gonna binge on such delicacies.

While you're back in the UK.....

"Family friendly" pub chain Hungry Horse has been criticised for creating a burger containing nearly 100% of a woman's recommended daily calorie intake at 1,996 calories.

The Double Donut burger consists of two beef burgers topped with cheese, four bacon rashers and BBQ sauce, sandwiched between two glazed ring-doughnuts.

Critics called it irresponsible, dubbing it "a heart attack on a plate".

The doughnuts make that disgusting, no? Google pizza burger, then you're talking....

[nakamura]

I bet that tastes amazing. Sweet and savoury.

[Neil]

Good effort Kryss! They look great mate

[kryss]

I hope they cook the burgers a little more than that. I don't mind my steak pink (love it actually) but not my burgers.

Thank you sir! They tasted so good I ate 7 of the 12 before they'd cooled!
