    Tinned tomatoes and chickpeas.

    No problem saying 'we don't want them'. But, you don't then get to say 'our kids go to bed hungry'. Hungry is hungry - even chickpeas are food if you're hungry. It's like my kids saying ' I'm bored, there's nothing to do'. Of course there isn't you entitled brats, people don't exist to cater to your every whim.

    This rant sponsored by Panhead's XPA, savouries and chips. FTW.

    It'll be some shit Queensland brown fizzy water masquerading as beer when you eventually get one too.

    If I want to make money, I have to keep working, so no holidays for me. I have a book to finish before Christmas, and another already written that will be going off to be edited when I get my next royalties.

    On the plus side, I don't have to wear pants to work, and could drink all day if I wanted.

    Only way I get to use my days off, never get to have a break during the year due to the size of the company i work for.
    Helps the building industry pretty much shuts down over Xmas/New Years too

    @taniwharugby Well they are correct that chickpeas are unfit to feed to people.

    Do you even hummus bro?

    well to kinda side track this thread somewhat...been amusing reading these the past few days:

    Reminded me of a story a few years back where Charity shops were saying don't give us your CRT TVs, no one wants them, they want flat screens!

    Seems some in need of help are fussy about what help they get!

    started with this
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/99767397/give-generously--but-please-no-tinned-tomatoes-or-chickpeas-say-charities

    then this one
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/99813458

    and now today
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/99881805/the-shelf-of-tinned-tomatoes-and-nothing-else

    Fuck.

    Tomatoes and lentils would make a perfectly nutritious sauce to throw at some pasta.

    Veges carbs and protein.

    If I was on the bones of my arse I reckon I could survive on that. Wouldn't be my first choice. But hell...

    Exactly.

    Bloody entitled fuckwits that don't realise the use of a tin of tomatoes.

    Has nobody even told them that if they crush those tomatoes in pan with some organic purple skinned garlic, stone pressed olive oil and homegrown herbs then put a layer of the resulting sauce on a 48 hour sourdough pizza base with a few slices of buffalo milk mozzarella then cook the whole lot in a 500degree applewood fired outdoor oven they will have a tasty meal for the kids!

    Actually yes. Not sure that the homeless types will have tahini and a blender though? Even the odd chick pea with lamb is acceptable, but again you need the lamb and the homeless are generally short on that. If they weren't so bloody fussy they could have it with a tinned tomato sauce.

    @bones said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

    Jebus @Snowy first you attack my 'do now it's the food of my people. What next?

    So there you go Bones, a concession to the merits of chick peas and an apology to middle eastern folk. As for your 'do I did mention that rats tails are fine - just not in pies.
    As for what next... give me time. I think that I have offended people of all genders elsewhere on the Fern in the last day or so by implying that they had one. So assuming that you have a gender (I really can't assign one for you apparently) you can take offense there if you like. I will try a bit harder to outrage some other people. Probably get labeled a "troll" now as well.

    The bloody trouble that I get myself in when I am trying to avoid doing accounts.

    @snowy I'd prefer you address them as 'person' peas.
