I never saw that. I suppose that's the downside of living an ad-free life.


She was in the desert

I wonder why they thought chopping heads off would help sell the stuff?

You can get a Turkish Delight effect by daubing rose water on a bit of ordinary chocolate. Probably doesn't save much money, but it's a nice change if you've got a bar of ordinary choccie and you get bored with it.

I think it was supposed to look like he was chopping up the Turkish Delight

They've got some funny ideas about Turkey.

I don't suppose they filmed it in Turkey but I bet they didn't specify the country it was supposed to be. And as it was advertising Turkish Delight, I think it's a fair assumption that it represented Turkey. It wasn't Barnsley.

I like trying to modify cooking and baking recipes.

Me following to the letter only happens at the very first times or if I want to commit to memory by repetition, until I can switch things up in my mind without switching things wrong because I did it the wrong order or something.

I always tailor recipes to suit my way of doing things. I don't think I could stand following somebody else's recipe exactly. They make things much too hard. I make things easy.

"Fry's Blackpool Delight" doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

Yeah :lol:

When I was a small child I can remember shouting rude names to my neighbour and then ducking behind the fence when he threw his roller skates at my head

I was reminded of that funny thing just now

I think it was my favourite game
