Hot & Furious Buns - 2026

First of the year - Waitrose - OK, plump fruiting but tight on the spice front - Toasting didn’t fill the room with gods own aroma. Even a half turn of salt to the already salted butter fell flat 6.5/10

My pelvic floor twitches which can only mean cheesists and other perverts will be along to de-flower something pure and correct any time now.

Looks like cutbacks on Ingredients :worried:

With this knowledge ‘salted away’, perhaps experimenting with a little mixed spice added to the butter would improve them to a more acceptable score?

Perhaps but if you have to start kneeding prooving glazing, adding aditional fruits and spices to get to the deluxe bun mouthfeel, there’s something wrong in the bakehouse.

Nice plate . Looks like it’s been thrown a few times …I had a radgy missus once too …threw a mug at me so hard I ducked and it hit a plastic garden table…made a chuffing big hole in it .. :open_mouth:

He’s got kids.

My brother (two kids 3-4 years apart) decided when they were still young that he wasn’t going to buy anything new for the house until the little one had turned 15. They lived for years with carpets, sofas, wallpaper etc all of which had crayon marks and impact/incision damage. They were fine with it but it did get under his mother-in-law’s skin.

I fear my bro regarded that as an unexpected bonus.

We was very lucky with our boy…he never posted jammy toast into the video recorder or owt like that …hifi all out on display didn’t touch any of it …bless him … :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Memo to self - When presenting the mighty buns to AA man, always use the silver charger.

Right thinking men appreciate such things

Not OK, had 2 of those the other weekend and spent the night turning myself inside out.

A gentle reminder…

Like the VTA being spot on in deck pics … :thinking:

This is An Issue.

I am thinking of experimenting with spiced butter - extra sweet spices (cinnamon, alspice, pinch of cardamom, pinch of clove, pinch of anise, extra salt), because there’s always a deficit with shop-bought.

Indeed. It’ll be easy to get this Rong™ :ok_hand:


SuperDuperRupe can rest easy on the cheese front - yer HXB is no place for the stuff, on this we can agree.

I cannot necessarily promise the same about lovely crunchy, smoky, fatty bacons…

Mmmm… Delicious bacons…

The promise IS necessary though.

HXB. Yellow fat (in line with preferences). Perhaps more of the traditional flavourings if the bun turns out to be disappointingly light on them. The. End.

Bacons are lovely but
