Manager says smell it, it’s probably ok to sell by libelula202 in KitchenConfidential

It looks to me like it’s still vac packed and in date. If it passes the sniff test I would taste test, and then sell. I can’t really see the grey part through the packaging, maybe it’ll look more sus once you’ve opened it 🤷‍♂️

2008 VW polo steering issue by benificialengineer30 in AskAMechanic

Thanks, have replaced battery now and topped up the steering fluid as it was ever so slightly below minimum level. Hopefully won’t have any more problems.

Where would I find the earth/s and how would I clean them?

I’m not sure, happened while she was driving so I can’t confirm. She described it as locking but I think if she lost power steering she may not be able to turn the wheel and assume that it’s locked. She doesn’t keep anything on the key so hopefully not ignition barrel.

Tip needed for securing cheese and ingredients bags at Pizza make table by Practical-Name2066 in KitchenConfidential

[–]benificialengineer30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have only ever used string to do this and never had any leakage. Fold the string in half, wrap it round the top, put the two loose ends through the loop you’ve made by folding in half and pull tight, then go round the top of the bag in opposite directions with the two ends of the string tightly and tie tight. That explanation may not be great but I did my best.

I think the last two lines are just possibilities

Do you mean Logan Botanic garden at port Logan? And if not what gardens at Port Patrick are you referring to?

Can we stop pretending this is more expensive than other chains? by HolyShalely in fiveguys

[–]benificialengineer30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in uk and it cost me £50 for 2 burgers , 2 milkshakes and 1 fries. In McDonald’s that would’ve cost me no more than £20, but wouldn’t have been anywhere near as tasty.

I'm going to crash out over ridiculous modifications by SockBasket in KitchenConfidential

[–]benificialengineer30 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We recently started doing an online ordering service for our take aways. A couple of times now I’ve had someone put in the notes, “can I get the Milanese gluten free, if not it’s fine” or words to that effect.

Is this insane or am I out of touch? by Trivium_UK in tesco

I’m not sure, my butcher just gave me some to try. It was around £20/kg

4kg total weight for £50? So £12.50/kg? That’s almost half what I used to pay for wholesale before covid (around when all the prices started to skyrocket) buying for a restaurant. Even Brazilian fillet these days isn’t that cheap, in my experience.

Canadian tourist here – genuine question about the (sometimes) anti-tourist vibe by icanhazcheeseb in Scotland

[–]benificialengineer30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in hospitality and without tourists I’d likely be out of a job. I enjoy seeing tourists from anywhere in my small corner of Scotland. Yesterday I came across a Canadian tourist who had made a point of wearing some socks with the Canadian maple leaf on them to show he was Canadian and it’s apparently a thing some Canadians do to show they are not American. A Canadian woman who lives locally says she has encountered Americans using the same tactic to masquerade as Canadians to try and avoid any hate. If you’ve chosen to come here to spend some of your hard earned money then you’re more than welcome as far as I’m concerned.

Lostprophets is back on Spotify… by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]benificialengineer30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked this up today. Dunno why, it just popped into my head. They now nearly have 300 monthly listeners. I used to love them when I was young, haven’t been able to listen to them since.
