Ppl asking why James is appearing on different channels at the same time recently; It's because modern interviews happen in one spot, and all of the "interviewers" have a limited time slot to do their interviewing. Once they have done, they bugger off and the next interviewer comes in. It's why sometimes you see celebrities being a bit impatient or fed up with the interviewers. The audience has no idea that the person being interviewed has been sitting in the same spot for hours whilst listening to interviewers and their (often inane) questioning. Also, very often, ppl like James will actually be contractually obliged (basically forced) to do these plugs for their shows/books etc. So an interviewer turns up with yucky stuff for James to try, he can either refuse/end the interview (which is bad for publicity), or he jumps through the interviewers hoops (which is good for publicity).

Scotch eggs are a pub snack??? I thought they were complicated to make, which kind of beats the purpose of a snack you eat while drinking at a pub.
@anneominous71725 ай бұрын
Scotch eggs aren't remotely complicated to make, it's just a hard boiled egg with sausage meat packed around it and then rolled in egg and breadcrumbs. If you aren't making scotch eggs at home on the regular, get into it. Oven cook them if you're gonna be putting them in the fridge and picking at them for a few days (about half hour on gas 6) or deep fry them (full heat, 5 minutes-ish) if you're eating them right now and want the yolk to be runny. I knock up a few most weekends at 2am whilst off my tits on rum when I want to gluttonously munch something hunched over the kitchen counter before stumbling upstairs to pass out. Seriously, add them to your repertoire, they're nowhere near as intimidating as you think and they're a hearty as fuck meal for how quickly you can put them together. You want my advice you under-boil the eggs by a couple of minutes and then deep fry them and have them with chips so you can mop up the yolk - fry the chips first, you want the scotch eggs as soon as they're pulled so the yolk stays as runny as possible. It'll change your life.

I used to fancy a packet of pork scratchings once in a blue moon, until recently. A few weeks ago I found an unusually large and heavy scratching in the bag. I didn’t think much of it, popped it in my mouth only to spit it out. It didn’t taste quite right, was impossible to bite into like a rock, and had the rough shape of a hoof. I think it was a large chunk of bone or something. I’m never eating them again.

I certainly wouldn't describe any of that as "pub classics" and Pigs in Blankets I only ever see at Christmas.

Sausage rolls and pigs in blankets are not pub snacks. A pub snack is something you eat with your beer as a nibble. Pickled eggs, pickled onions (I've seen the jars but never seen anyone eat them), crisps, nuts, bombay mix, that kind of thing. Jellied eels must be a southern thing. In Europe you often get olives ( not my taste, though) and, to my surprise in Rome, thick chunks of Parmesan. That went well with both wine and beer. I checked. Quite a few times.
