No, I don't think so. http://waynesword.palomar.edu/vege1.htm and http://www.foodsubs.com/Tubers.html

In Thailand, Taro is cooked and eaten whereas, as far as I know, cassava is processed for its starch (tapioca).

Never eaten an avocado?!! Very good for you, and you can rub the skin on your face for a nice face mask. There's a girly thing.

Whereas, Taro [a few varieties] and Cassava aren't even of the same genetic family.

^ I did read up on how to cook a burger patty before doing that Apparently the trick is a medium high heat, then squeeze it for blood, wait for a tiny amount of smoke, then flip it and wait 2 minutes.

Another way I read up on was to get 4 empty tuna fish cans. Put burgers in 2 and cheddar cheese in the other 2 of them. Then stick them on a rack, stick the rack into a big pan with half an inch of water in and steam for 14 minutes.

I chose the former because it seemed a lot friggin easier and I only had one full can of tuna.

Don't let the presentation put you off Snubby, those burgers were the dogs dangly bits

^ Never squeeze any piece of meat when cooking it unless you just want a piece of dry shoe leather especially not ground beef.

If you enjoyed them then that's all that counts. My lady just made amazing burgers tonight two patties with pepper jack cheese and jalapenos stuffed in between on ciabatta buns. Nice and juicy, of course she did not squeeze the patties.

Fake fish n chips.

Was in the local CP shop and they had these:



Never noticed them before.

So got some chips to accompany and decided to go Chav.



Even Chavy squirty mayonnaise as I was out of tartar sauce.

150b I think. Will actually head back and transfer all their stock to my freezer, was bladdy nice as far as council estate crap goes.

Just need tartar sauce from Tops tomorrow and a newspaper to eat them out of.

^ beautiful

My guess is HP sauce.

Indigestable for anyone but a hardcore foggy Islander raised on chip butties and 'vegetales' such as baked beans and dyed mushy peas.
