I love that there is a spice preparation especially to help the digestive system during diwali, ie the consumption of far too many sweets 😂
@LifeTimeCooking I remember spending it with an Indian ex's mother, who treated me as if I might die of starvation at any moment. It was exhausting and delicious.
@sullybiker I know, right! Food is the love language.
@LifeTimeCooking I was in the UK last month (my homeland) and had so much food, it was wonderful.
@LifeTimeCooking It seems odd to miss something so basic like chips but I can't get them like that here.
@LifeTimeCooking It's fascinating how that changes.
@LifeTimeCooking @sullybiker You’re possibly getting “non-brewed condiment” instead of actual vinegar.
@Flick @LifeTimeCooking You reminded me that many years ago I lived in Huddersfield for a while, and used to walk past the condiment factory on Wakeflield Road in the morning. The smell was amazing.
@Flick @LifeTimeCooking It was probably my only positive memory of the place
@sullybiker @LifeTimeCooking It is as the KLF said, I’m afraid.
@sullybiker Morning Jim! I can only see one side of the convo here, as Flick's instance is on the FediBlock list. But the condiment factory sounds amazing. The aromas would make me hungry for sure.
@LifeTimeCooking The odd thing is it did not always smell, but some mornings it was like walking into a fish'n'chip shop on a cold day. Just lovely.
@sullybiker I guess there were production days and non-production days. Or perhaps runs of the more "aromatic" condiments. Imagine how the clothes and hair of the workers smelled when they arrived home!!!
@sullybiker As kids we often had fish and chips by the beach. I remember the chips being sea-salty and vinegary. There is nothing like that sea-salty taste today, and somehow the vinegars taste different. I'd pay a small fortune for having those sorts of chips again.
