We're not even in the same league as Americans, and their recipes which double as mayonnaise eating contests:

I've been getting chronic gurgly stomach and the shits for the past few months. I started keeping a food diary and narrowed it down to Thai curry. I make them with meat, fish or veg, so it's the stuff in the paste (not necessarily the chilli as other hot dishes don't have the same effect), the shrimp paste, the fish sauce, or the coconut milk.

I'm not going to stop eating them, as they're totally worth a bit of the old bog penance.

Quite right.

I'm fine with quite hot curries and stuff like that. But a few quite nice mexican recipes have done me in, mostly of the almost stir-fry variety that call for lots of chilli powder that you can't tone down and use chilli's with as they won't infuse.

[Bazooka]

Your gut has to evolve,beat it down and build it up, I snack on chillies daily and my innards feel pristine. I haven't drank booze for nearly a year,that helps in that relation to that, spice and liquor together was gut witchcraft.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Yeah I get on fine with stuff involving actual fresh chillis. Fajitas made with a tablespoon of chilli powder and I'll be busy the next day.

Slow Cooker Lazy Lasagna is such an easy meal. Enjoy this cheesy, meaty, and hearty dish even on busy weeknights!

Italian dishes surely are tasty and hearty just like this pasta dish.

This Slow Cooker Lazy Lasagna recipe has made it into my regular menu rotation because it is so easy to prepare and tastes amazing. And why make it so often? Just because it is hearty, and the tomato-cheese combination is simply amazing.

Imagine having to cook the beef mixture and cheese mixture separately, then, assembling and baking the classic dish. Not that it is impossible, but this easier crockpot version does exist!

So, it has become my go-to recipe whenever I just want to have some extra rest. At times like this, I crave some home-cooked comfort food and I resort to recipes like this.

I don't know whether to be more concerned about the repeated use of "hearty", or the fact that this "home-cooked" recipe involves putting cheese on top of pre-made ravioli in a slow cooker.

I had a go at making my own 'pot noodles' based on a recipe of a friend. Largely them discs of noodles, stock and a tablespoon of curry paste and a handful of frozen veg.

I used to enhance pot noodles by adding extra ingedients- some finely chopped onion, a handful of garden peas, a few slivers of red pepper- and the coup de grâce; flakes of edible gold.

We briefly used to sell someting equally disgusting in Kwik Save - a small whole chicken that had been vacuum sealed in plastic and then cooked in an autoclave (like one of those Mattesons U-shaped sausages but more disgusting). If one of the bags was punctured we used to draw lots over who had to 'deal' with it.

Spend all day cleaning and moving clutter about then give your kids shit from a tin to eat. 21st century version of a housewife, there. Sorry, I mean 'full time mum and entrepreneur'.

[thenoise]

The food itself looks edible enough if I hadn't managed to get to the shops,was ill or pissed or depressed. It's a strange thing to be sufficiently proud of as to share your 'recipe' with the internet.

It will look like that once digested anyway, so they have sped up the process.

Can I have a moan about Mrs Hinch's grey interior design. Grey this grey that. Fucking grey everything. Get to fuck with the grey grey grey. Designing a house to look like how a dog would see it. Fuck off grey.

I love a lasagne but I've taken to doing the Guardian's veggie one just because it's so low-effort.

Although it was vacuum sealed did that mean it still ended up suspended in its own juices?

Yes, and they had added some brown food colouring to it before sealing and cooking it to try and make it look more palatable. All it did was make it look like a vacuum packed sloppy dirty protest. I don't recall many of them being sold before they were taken off the shelves.

Come to think of it, what were you meant to do with it if it was cooked? I'm guessing 80's so microwaves weren't ubiquitous even if it would fit, oven would make it too dry probably, did people boil it?

supersavvyme.co.uk? Tell you what's super savvy, not pissing your money up the wall in Ikea every 5 minutes trying to keep up with interior design trends, particularly when they're that boring.

You were just meant to eat it as is I think. They were only small (about 2/3rds the size of the chicken in a can) and it was in the mid 90s so microwaves were well established, but the idea of opening the door to see it percolating away in it's own juices doesn't bear thinking about. They didn't exactly smell great if the bag was punctured either. There was a adhesive paper label on the bag so boiling it would have just made a mess in the pan (though not as much of a mess that was inside the bag).

I'll have the 'Punctured Chicken' please waiter, and if you could please bring me a curly straw.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Jesus. No wonder they didn't sell.

Preserved in aspic.

The picky bastards probably won't eat anything else.

Mrs Hinch then empties out a whole pot of spaghetti hoops into an oven dish, followed by cheese and spinach.

She then repeats the entire process again, before topping it off with buttery mash potato...

Having pasta and potato in the same dish is quite bad, it's the kind of combination you get in prison.

They've all been 'punctured' by the time I've...

They serve gnocchi in prison?

Oh no, the humanity of having to spend ten minutes browning up some mince.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I really love low-grade stodge so am actually tempted to try this.

[Icehaven]

They serve gnocchi in prison?

If they did it'd be served with mash, rice, polenta and a nice side of 4 slices of white bread.

It's so devoid of any personal details, let alone personality. It's like a show home. No photos, no toys, nothing fun. She is trying to hide the fact she has kids? Or any sign that the house has been lived in at all? Is that what Hinching is?

Such a bland version of a trad wife. At least my Gran did cross stitch.

A lot of youtubers do it full time and work out of studios. Maybe she doesn't live there?

She could even rent it
