Thousands of Jew haters in CBD. NSWaffen protecting the Great Synagogue, of course they are monitoring the situation.

So we know what we always suspected- the anti discrimination laws were there to restrict debate on immigration.

Apologies if I accidentally downticked your comment Milton. I hit something on the keyboard while reaching for an item on my desk. I did uptick your comment though.

Labor hasn’t been the worker’s party for 30 years, since French Cocks Keating became PM.

The members of today’s labor Party wouldn’t recognise a worker if they fell over one, in the street.

I see what you did there! Unless you weren’t trying to make a penis metaphor. In which case I apologise for my interpretation;-)

Stephen Smith, remember that twot from WA

Vividly. He was my local member at one stage.

Danish Lurpak butter … because better. I have similarly challenged them to a blind taste test against Western Star and other Australian product.

Western Star is salted for a start and Danish Lurpak is paler. It does taste different and it’s nicer.

Let’s not have a falling out over better, Sanchez.

I’ve been told that the CBDs of Auckland Town, Christchurch Town and Wellington Town are also looking dismal and dirty

I can’t imagine Auckland CBD has gotten any worse since we were there 5 years ago although one shouldn’t underestimate the lingering Ardern factor.

However, Wellington CBD was clean and attractive in November.

Apart from the reconstruction still going on, Christchurch likewise.

I don’t recall any boarded up shops in either city.

Western Star is salted for a start

They produce an unsalted butter for baking/cooking purposes.

And Dunedin was raining and freezing but that only reminded me of Edinburgh and added to the ambience of the place.

Works both ways, Pogster. Don’t go around claiming victim-hood when the score is 50:1 in your favor.

You shouldn’t be eating that combo as the calorie score would be the average daily intake for a normal diet. I’m trying to be helpful.

… I guess it’s what the cows in Denmark eat …

They eat brown silage, about the colour of a human turd or the horsehair filling of a mattress. It is like a pile of tightly packed fishing net.
This is supplemented with pellets, mixed grain ration etc that is akin to pellets fed to chooks.

In the (brief) summer they may be allowed outdoors to have some exercise and eat green, very green, forage crops.

What is a feedstock for danish milk cows?

Danish cows are typically fed a combination of various types of feed to ensure they receive a balanced and nutritious diet. The specific feedstock for Danish cows can vary depending on factors such as the cow’s age, stage of life (e.g., lactating or not), and the farming practices employed. However, some common components of the feed for Danish cows include:

Grass and Forage: Cows in Denmark often graze on pasture, especially during the grazing season. Pasture provides essential nutrients such as fiber and vitamins.

Silage: Silage is a fermented feed made from green forage crops, often including grass, clover, and other plants. It is stored in silos and is a significant component of the winter diet for cows.

Hay: Dried grasses and legumes, known as hay, are also part of the winter diet. Hay provides fiber and nutrients when fresh forage is not readily available.

Concentrates: These are feeds with a higher concentration of energy and nutrients. Concentrates can include grains like barley, wheat, and oats, as well as protein sources like soybean meal.

Mineral Supplements: Cows require various minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, and salt, to maintain health and productivity. Mineral supplements are often added to their feed.

TMR (Total Mixed Ration): Some farmers in Denmark use a feeding technique called TMR, where all the different feed ingredients are mixed together thoroughly to create a balanced and consistent ration for the cows.

And the same question for Australian cow feedstock. Oh sounds about the same.

The diet of Australian cows can vary based on factors such as the type of farming system, the region, and the specific needs of the cattle. However, here are some common components of the feed for Australian cows:

Pasture: In many regions of Australia, cows have access to pasture, especially during the grazing season. Pasture can include various grasses and legumes, providing a natural and nutritious source of feed.

Hay: Dried grasses and legumes, known as hay, are commonly used as supplementary feed, particularly during times when pasture is scarce or during drought conditions.

Silage: Silage, which is fermented and preserved forage, is often used as a feed source. It can include grasses, legumes, and other crops.

Grains: Cattle may be fed grains like barley, wheat, or sorghum as part of their diet. Grains are a concentrated source of energy and can be included to meet the nutritional requirements of the animals, especially during certain stages of production.

Protein Supplements: To ensure adequate protein intake, cattle may be given protein supplements such as soybean meal or canola meal. These supplements help meet the protein requirements for growth, reproduction, and maintenance.

Mineral Supplements: Cattle require various minerals for proper growth and health. Mineral supplements, containing essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and salt, are often added to the feed.

Molasses: Molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, is sometimes added to cattle feed for its energy content and palatability.

Crop Residues: In some cases, crop residues such as wheat or rice straw might be used as a source of roughage in the diet.

Customized Feed Mixes: Some farmers use total mixed rations (TMR), where different feed ingredients are thoroughly mixed to create a balanced diet. This ensures that each animal receives a consistent and complete nutritional profile.

I bought Pepe Sayer for sandwiches, but stopped after the owner landed a contract with Quntus and automated his production.

He might want to look at that. Had some at Christmas, supposedly fresh. Very, very yellow. As soon as I cut it I could tell. Only yellow on the outside.
Rancid as.

Piers Akerman is back:

I don’t buy my politics or opinions at Woolworths, or Aldi for that matter.

Given that the bulk of the Australia Day products they are now refusing to sell would have been made in China, probably by forced or even slave labour, why would I trust these retailers to sell anything that might add value to the lives of Australians?

Yet the woke who continually bleat their concerns about some ethnic minorities, including all Aboriginal Australians, are prepared to endorse the anti-Australian virtue-signalling propaganda pushed by Woolworths and Aldi.

Woolworths has a lot of form in this area as it, like most of the major law firms, insurance companies, almost all universities and the bulk of the media organisations, are suckers for anything that smacks of feel-good wokeist nonsense, ranging from human-induced climate change to the failed Yes case in the now sunken Albanese referendum.

The issues that most Australians are concerned about are not those which the big grocers get their knickers knotted over.

Ask anyone searching for products in any aisle and they’ll tell you that the cost of living is their biggest worry and that this anxiety is not being addressed by the supermarkets, let alone the Federal Government, which is still to deliver on its $275 electricity price cut, among other election promises.

Australia Day marks a lot more than the end of the long summer holiday for schoolchildren and many workers.

For most Australians, it is a special day on which, in the company of family or friends – and particularly new immigrants – a collective thanks is given for the privilege of living in one of the oldest liberal democracies on earth and for the freedoms that are the legacy of the British settlement.

There’s little wonder that this island continent is a magnet for people from everywhere else.

The queues for Islamic, Buddhist or Hindu countries are non-existent.

Yet there exists a handful of activists who persist in viewing January 26 as a black day for those who, prior to 1788, were living a Palaeolithic tribal existence.

The fantasy that pre-European Aboriginal life was an idyllic pastorale relies on a most extraordinary and increasingly elaborate interpretation of history, including by the author Bruce Pascoe, who identifies as Aboriginal although studies of his genealogical record reveal no Aboriginal antecedents.

For his extremely creative work in providing an alternate history to the records of Aboriginal life from the time of first contact, Pascoe has been awarded a position at Melbourne University and numerous contracts for books and programs by the principal woke propagandist, the ABC.

While Aboriginal inhabitants lived Stone Age lives, Pascoe and the revisionists now claim that they were the inventors of parliamentary democracy, as well as aeronautical and navigational arts.

Talking up these fantasies may make some who have self-marginalised themselves from the mainstream feel better about themselves, but they are inaccurate.

Australia Day, according to the woke, should really be called Invasion Day, but Salvation Day or Enlightenment Day would be more accurate descriptions of the arrival of Western culture on the continent named Australia by the great navigator and chart maker Matthew Flinders.

The year 2024, coincidentally, marks the 250th anniversary of Flinders’ birth, and will be celebrated by those who sail the seas around Australia and Tasmania, which Flinders and his friend, the British naval surgeon George Bass, first identified as an island.

Aboriginals weren’t versed in offshore navigation, as they had no seagoing craft capable of going more than a few hundred metres from a beach, unless it was in very sheltered waters.

This is not to dismiss the skills needed to exist as hunter-gatherers, and certainly not to ignore the extensive identification of native toxic plants that was developed during the thousands of years of pre-settlement existence.

But other claims made for them, including their care for the environment, are palpably false or at best debatable.

Pandering to activists like the ranting Senator Lidia Thorpe and her trade union allies, including Voice advocate Thomas Mayo, by ignoring the benefits of Western civilisation and traducing Australia Day is a slur on the millions who have made homes and lives for their families here, many with Aboriginals, since Captain Arthur Philip hoisted the Union flag at Farm Cove.

Roll on Australia Day, celebrate this great country, the opportunities it has provided and will continue to offer to those who seek a bright future and not a bleak one.

In Queensland, butter goes from rock hard to a liquid mess within ten minutes.

Strike at the 4-5 minute mark.

What begins?
The butter/margarine wars, yes?

The household was strictly butter when we were kids.
Butter was viewed as a positive & we were encouraged to use it lots.

Until the moment dad planted a Sunflower crop for the first time. Margarine, a previously unknown substance, appeared in that tin lined box built into kitchen cabinets, where jam and butter .. er.. margarine & stuff is kept.

Apparently superior to butter (ugh) in all manner of ways, the virtues of margarine were talked up endlessly.
We never saw butter on the table again.

Western Star is salted for a start and Danish Lurpak is paler. It does taste different and it’s nicer.

We have to part ways on this one. Western Star comes from tough Aussie cows who brave the Sou’ Westers down near Cobden and eat grass all year long. Lurpak comes from gay Nancy-cows who shelter inside for six months and eat grain … poison wheat mostly.
And what the hell is wrong with salt?
You smoke for Christ’s sake.
I will not be lectured about salt by this man!

Think of it as an alternative to mashed potato.

Thou speaketh heresy.

I’ve no idea what Macaroni Cheese even means. However I’ll go out on a limb & state that it is to mashed potato as General Mark Miley is to General Douglas MacArthur.

Ok anotherJason Stratham Movie to see – THE BEEKEEPER | Official Restricted Trailer –

Sausage Nigels!

It may appear that way to an outsider/layman or city slicker.

Oh yes, the lived experience shtick from a slicker living on Mud Island.

By the way, has anyone seen the citation that NAB took a 10% skim on cash deposits as a Mud Islander recently claimed? I’m filing that in the non-response citations file, which is now as thick as an old metro telephone book.

All his movies are basically the same script. Former Intel, SAS, special opps. Bad guys pick on the wrong dude. Has there ever been a different story-line to any of his movies?

Bootter? Hurumph!

When we were growing oop on Moors our Moother would put candle wax on a piece of week old bread that Miller used to pay us for sweeping out mill after school. If we were looky.

There was another brand of butter when I was growing up. I can’t recall the name, but it had a silver(ish) cover with pale green stripes (?). May have been a regional brand perhaps.

MacArthur is macaroni cheese.

I suspect it’s an American “invention”, Roger.

Mac cheese, origins.

WTF

Its origins trace back to cheese and pasta casseroles dating to the 14th century in Italy and medieval England. The traditional macaroni and cheese is a casserole baked in the oven; ………..

Cool tip. Serve butter cubes in bowl of iced water.

Nice memories of the kitchen cabinet with the modern press buttom catch on the door handle, and the stuff not held in the ice chest that we stick in the fridge today.

We had a kerosine fridge. It was not to be opened except by order of a grown-up (penalty: kinetic, most kinetic)
Same principle, only special stuff went in the fridge. Anything which could survive outside, survived outside.

To this day feel funny seeing bread in a fridge.

I was kind of looking forward to buttered bugs.
Or cicada parmagiana.

Riddle me this, thrillseekers.

Why, in these days of enlightened and empowered feminism, would a young woman have “Every Dog Has Their Day” tattooed on her arm?

Inquiring minds want to know.

We had a kerosine fridge.

I can remember replacing a kerosine fridge with an electrical fridge – 32 Volt.

isn’t there an illegal colouring doing the rounds to replace an expensive food dye?

Iodine?

About five years ago I was told that the Mafia had taken control of the Italian tomato system and were importing barrels of tomato’s from China and repackaging them. It sounds like the information was correct.

You were told? Who told you? The neighbor two doors down?

To repeat.
If they weren’t processed, they go all Driller’s motel before they went past the South China Sea. If they were processed, it would be too expensive to move like that around the world.

Every critical response to any of your stupid comments is immediately taken as a lie, you crazy old nurse.

How long does tomato sauce last in your fridge? It has – usually – a one year shelf life.

Sauce? You said “tomatoes”, you irredeemable clown. I’ll repeat your exact words.

About five years ago I was told that the Mafia had taken control of the Italian tomato system and were importing barrels of tomato’s from China and repackaging them.

They’re either processed or not. Either way, it wouldn’t work and you were taken for a ride again.

I have many tins and bottles of tomato products in my larder, but you’re telling me that they’re too expensive for that purpose? You idiot. Your denials of reality can be a symptom of a mental derangement, you know?

Which has nothing to do with what you described. See above. Sauce isn’t that same thing as “tomatoes”, you irredeemable clown.

Is there a conversation you get into that doesn’t start with you calling someone names that you would get slapped in kindy? Do you ever do it in front of people who would give you a good punch in the your fat mouth for your arrogance? Of course not, because you’re a coward.

I’d associate with people I don’t much care for, so it wouldn’t happen.

And are you going to claim you didn’t start this tonight? Of course you are. You dickhead.

Betty Turtlehead, you don’t call the shots. You play that way and you can expect similar responses in return. That’s not negotiable. You had your chance and you blew it.

I can remember replacing a kerosine fridge with an electrical fridge – 32 Volt.

Most of the district were 32 volt & considered themselves to have “arrived”.
Not seeing the point of 32 volt he put in 240 volt lighting plant. This was quite something, not least because we lived in a tent.

The district thought his decision was bonkers. They were inbred backblocks small town retards, for within 10 years the entire district installed 240 volt lighting plants of their own.

The hunters become the hunted. I have my doubts the Georgia AG will respond, but it’s worth dreaming.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has “high expectations” of Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr to launch a criminal probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, exclusively telling Breitbart News “There’s so much proof” of wrongdoing in Willis’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

Greene filed a complaint on Wednesday against Willis and her top prosecutor, seeking the dismissal of the charges against Trump due to Willis’s alleged improper relationship with her top prosecutor in the Trump case.

I was given some very expensive Mediterranean sea salt formed “thousands of years ago” as a gift.

It had a “Use by” date of 12 months hence. Same with a bottle of “genuine pure glacier water”.

Is my assessment close to the mark that the RAN top brass clung to the Bwitish connection a bit too long and brought their disdain for lower ranks with them from Blighty?
My phrasing “upper ranks infested with Poms” might be a bit harsh, but there you go.

Macaroni Cheese is real.

First impressions count. Being a fresh set of eyes that had never seen Macaroni Cheese until a couple of minutes ago, I’ll type my impressions for the reading pleasure of those who’ve long since OD’d on images of this delicacy.

Two standout observations:
1/. Any appeal this food has is NOT based on appearance & presentation (it looks thoroughly disgusting)
2/. My cover as chef-about-town-a-bloke-who-can-cook has not been blown by not having this … er.. food item … on my shortlist of recipes.
