• Hello!

i just ran across an old (opened) jar of pickled onions i'd forgotten about. cruel of me, i know.
now, given that this is a traditional english dish, and most of you lot have sampled said fare since you were cherubs in arms, weaned off pickle juice on to pickled mashed apple as tots, d'y'reckon i'm still safe to eat it?

it's about... 2 million years old from the look of it. the previously brown onions now have little white encrustations on them like salt deposits. or maybe scale in a kettle.

and i could murder a pickled onion about now

I've eaten some rather dubious pickled products before. Never dun me no 'arm!

ok

I'm surprised that such a question would come from you salt...

It's probably safe. All that vineger and salt ...

I wouldn't risk it considering the price of such an item.

kinda squashy and floury and not very crunchy at all.

not even the white encrustations were crunchy.

Are you still alive?

not risk it considering price? the price of THIS item in my hand is FREE! as is this item.

but to go and buy another one from what we not in the business refer to as a "shop", i'd have to pay money.

still not dead, by the way

thanks for asking grim…. i think as a public service i shall make periodic advisories to the thread regarding my deadliness.

deadication? deadlificatoriness? deaditude?

Good thinking.
Then we'll know not to send flowers to Mrs. Salty.

Do you thik he'd spend so much time on here if there was a Mrs Salti? He'd be off violating her cavities rather than talking bollocks with us!

Or at least, I would be, anyway.

Not with Mrs Salty, I mean. I mean with Mrs Brock.

:)

You've fixed her puncture, then?

It was only a tiny hole.

:p

no observable change in deaditude

Congrats =]

have discovered a variety of interesting and flourishing black growths on the underside of the lid. should i consider these part of the whole pickle package?

If it were me I'd have a lick - if it tasted vinegary enough I'd experiment further.

old ladies must LOVE you, sul

or ladyezz with low hygiene standards

Eww!

UPDATE: deaditude continuing at satisfyingly low levels, pickled-toxic-shock-syndrome-wise

Go spew up a little bit. If there's blood you may want to throw the rest up.

i ate so much pickled onion a little bit of spew came out

ALBOSCO!

You're livin' on the edge there, boy.

still not dead

That's what you're telling us.

How do we know you're not a bot?

this is not the droid you're looking for

How about we get you to eat more stuff. What's in your cupboard, Salty?

To get back to the original question of, "Can pickled onions go off?"

Only if you stuff them with the contents of a Roman Candle (or similar) and ignite them.

but to go and buy another one from what we not in the business refer to as a "shop", i'd have to pay money.

Aw, Salty. Come and stay with me. I will feed you up.

I think the last thing Salty needs is 'feeding up'.

doc: ooh i LOVE the way the image chosen for "felching" was a gerbil

more cupboardy goodness:

Feed him up? You'd feed him up? You fackin' rat Ernie! They'll never take him alive.

pretend not to be food! pretend not to be food! IT WILL NOT WORK! HE MAKES YOU DINER!!! How is the hat stays on his giant head? it is no mystery when you learn fattys are made of butter.

Why does this make me cry with laughter?

When the doc arrives this place sometimes seems like an episode of Broken News.

I disagree, Doc is funny.

I disagree also.

Good point G/V. I meant he's so random.

I have it. Doc is really an international spy, and all this weird stuff is really coded messages to his spymaster.

I didn't say who I was disagreeing (sp?) with, did I?

=]

Well say it now, then.

doc also runs a couple of blogs:
here: www.paperrad.org
& here: www.dennisinthereality.nu/d...

I don't know what the dickens any of you are talking about.

Fodor, it's Luxedo. The red kite flies at dawn. I repeat, dawn. Wait for the three taps. We are poised and oiled. Apply the grease until it is thick. I await further directions.

Doc does actually run blisteredeye.blogspot.com as well. But that's another story.

I'm getting a bit worried about Salty =/

Hey Salty, don't you try to out-wierd me.. I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal...

I rest my case.

it says here you are made of ham. I'm afraid there is no place in our company for someone 'made of ham' at this time. Wait... he also states that... you are also a beanbag? Please hop out of the office immediately before I call security. Cindy-- send in the next applicant. And no more of these... these talking ham beanbags.

ima gammon hame thin

hiya everyone say kim if you wanna talk to me

hello

hello kim i am pepernut

how are you
are you eating anything
a/s/l

damn, think I missed that...

"your couch is very rich! it has a beanbag on it!"
"it is my wife. not a beanbag."
"your wife is a big fatty. does she eat butter the whole day?"
"yes. she loves butter very much."

hi pepernut

sex

hello kim

did you say sex??

pervert!!

damn, think I missed that...

I just wanna know one thing. Can you get pickled onions in tins ? If so where ? Not that I like onions in their pickled format as such it's just well, they'd be a really special novelty type item to have around the home. Good talking point at dinner parties.
ps. can I have some sex too

with a woman preferably. Although a large Liv Tyler shaped onion would do.

probably need to drill a couple of well placed holes first. Hmmmmm....

ow. pickled japs eye. i can feel mine puckering just at the thought of it

Luxedo this is Fodor. We have run out of Greece. The head warrior is a Trojan.

pretend not to be food! pretend not to be food! IT WILL NOT WORK! HE MAKES YOU DINER!!! How is the hat stays on his giant head? it is no mystery when you learn fattys are made of butter.

Pity we can't change the taglines on here, like we used to, as any of the above sentences would be super.

hear hear

So, Salty, did you get a case of the squitters after eating the onions?

I thought of an ad for Nando's Extra Hot : Lord Of The Ring Sting

I shall now shamefully admit that even Nandos Hot is too much for me.

I shall now shamefully admit that even Nandos Lemon and Herb is too much for me. No, I'm kidding, I like Mild.

I shall now admit that I've never heard of Nando's........ I had never heard of Nando's until I read this thread.

SALTY! HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SOUR MOULDY FARTS?

                      ^-- (still not dead)

Just ate an egg that was 2 days out of date. I thought today was the 11th and thought it would be ok 1 day out of date. But 2? Am I going to die?

Eventually.

From the egg?

I don't eggspect so

wrong thread

www.nandos.co.nz
it's south african, all based around a south african chilli called peri-peri.
Very yummy, very spicy and very addictitice
especially their peri peri chips YUM

err, it's portuguese

i can just about handle hot - extra hot is insane

but yeah, the chips are AWESOME

cal must really like them. He used CAPITAL LETTERS! he hardly ever does...

A portuguese South African started Nando's. We have a mixed bag here.

The Portuguese explorers came into contact with African people who introduced them to a little treasure called the African Bird's Eye Chilli. Whether this fiery little chilli was indigenous to Africa or introduced was not certain, but it is certain that the rich and fertile climates were perfect for the Bird's Eye chilli to grow with wild abandon.

The African people called this fiery little chilli, Pili-Pili. The explorers tried in vain to pronounce Pili-Pili but ended up with their own version called Peri-Peri and to this day the Bird's Eye Chilli is still known as Peri-Peri. The settlers immediately experi-perimented with Peri-Peri in their cooking and because much of life revolved around food Peri-Peri became an integral part of their lives.

You can imagine the delight of the culinary-adventurous Portuguese mama's, who were already in heaven with their fresh vegetable gardens and the abundance of wild meat, when they discovered the secret powers of Peri-Peri and it's effects on their cooking. Peri-Peri added flavour and fire to all their food making them feel alive. The women were also delighted with the effect that Peri-Peri had on the libidos of their men and it was no wonder that they were constantly smiling. The settlers were amazed that something so small could be so satisfying.


(close enough)

well i never knew that. i thought birdseye chilis were southeast asian.

we had a tree growing in our back yard in brissie in one place. first time i'd chopped fresh-picked chili. jesus. lines of fire across the joint-creases in the backs of my fingertip knuckles, and around the nails. no WAY did i put those hands anywhere near my eyes till the fingers' pain had subsided.

talking turkey: how green is too green?
