Oh good Albatross.  Not to hijack this thread but I was thinking about you last night.

I was watching the series Dogs on Netflix and one episode was about a dog sanctuary in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has something like 2 million stray dogs and this sanctuary has about 1200 dogs on the premises.

If it is on UK Netflix, give it a watch..

I saw that, but swerved it as I didn't want to cry!

I am full on craving pimento cheese! I found a great recipe but question...where can I get sharp cheddar? Would it be extra mature here? I’m shredding my own so a block would suffice. Anyone?  :)

Extra mature would be the closest. :) it's a bit different from vermont sharp cheddar but still pretty good.

Buffalo chicken
Frank's + melted butter in equal amounts (or slightly more Frank's if you want it less mild) makes a great Buffalo chicken sauce. I usually add in some garlic too. :)

I second this! I do 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 3 tablespoons of Frank’s hot sauce and toss it with chicken or prawns and it is DIVINE! 🤤

I have an open bottle of Frank's in m 'fridge, and a backup bottle in my "pantry" (a shelf with food tins and bottles on it).  I could not cope without Frank's.

Man... there was this pita/sandwich thing I used to get... A couple of breaded chicken fingers, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, I don't remember if it had a slice of American cheese shoved in or not, some mayonnaise, and then doused or dipped in Frank's.  I think I could do the same rolled up in a tortilla.  This is gonna have to be lunch this weekend.  Unfortunately, that means making breaded chicken fingers without an oven.  Shallow-fry it is!

Yes, this is what I normally do too.   :)

My uni used to have something like this and it was sooooo popular.  There was also a local pizza shop that did a buffalo chicken 'grinder', with blue cheese dressing that was also very popular.  However, I hated* buffalo chicken back then. I only started eating buffalo chicken once in the UK. Decided to try it again in my life, making it myself and I enjoyed it. And it definitely has to just be the hot sauce, none of that disgusting blue cheese dressing on it, for me.

*I ate it when I was 14 on a school trip.   I got really ill later that day with a really bad strain of the flu (proper flu, not 'stomach flu' ) and I puked up the buffalo chicken and didn't eat anything for a about a week.   So, that put me off it for years and years and years.

Oh, yuck, PB!  That would put me off, too.  I'm glad it's finally behind you and you're able to enjoy the tasty food.  But, ick... I'm sorry you went through that.

The flu will definitely put you off food for a while. :(

I miss duffs. I was never a big fan of the Buffalo chicken subs, but we had some very good ones back home too. Generally best enjoyed at 3am after a few beverages!
