We have quite a big pile of chutneys we bought recently, we always have them with cheese and biscuits on Christmas day.

It was a lot of veg in total, onions being quite a large amount of it. Even with all the vinegar, you couldn’t see it above the veg. Used a 21L stock pot although it didn’t fill it overly high, but would have been too much for any of my other saucepans.

Something like that anyway, not made it before. Perhaps a little closer to branston pickle? Less sugar than you would normally have in a chutney and sugar isn’t necessary for preservation as you get that from the vinegar.

Chopped up over a kg of onions and fried them, also added grated parsnip and carrots, then salt, pepper and a few bottles of malt vinegar. Little bit of honey too. Simmer away for a few hours, add more vinegar if it’s getting a little dry. Then store in jars.

This was 2 days ago and my kitchen still smells divine. I don’t really know how to accurately describe it. Caramelised onions but there is more to it from the vinegar. Doesn’t smell like vinegar though, more like it’s enhanced the onions.

Cheap to make as supermarkets here are competing over selling the cheapest veg. 5kg of parsnips, carrots, cabbage and swede for under £0.50, onion was a bit more, but not much. Was going to add all of it but my arm was getting tired from grating and peeling so much. I don’t own a food processor so it’s all by hand. Filled 2.5L worth of jars from the first batch.

Risky if that is illegal though which is increasingly likely in authoritarian countries like the UK.

Sure, the USSR did kill a lot of Nazis. But to claim all of the victims of communism were Nazis is bullshit

I don’t want a device that requires the manufacturer to allow me to use it.

Good point, I was more thinking of digital surveillance as so much is online now.

The Stasi said the same thing, and similar levels of surveillance are significantly cheaper now.

Alcohol cured my depression

Small booze industry. Support the independents!

My kayak has this warning on it. When everything warns you it causes cancer people no longer take the warnings seriously. Now where did my Cobalt 60 lollipop go.

Yeah, more people are sober and more people are isolated and miserable.

I’ll get the next round guys. Your mental state is more important than your liver.

999, struggling to breathe. Total cost was about £10 to get home from the hospital.

Make open protocols instead of apps!

And how do you prove that ding is the one the note leaver caused?

And which bit of damage did you confess to? They have no evidence of what you confessed to doing.

“Sorry about that, please call me! I have the thing that fell out”

And what other choice do you have?
