A slight departure for LondonEdge in that I have now decide to include industrial sites. The Tate and Lyle's factory in Silvertown in East London is the first.

One time I made golden syrup to use for something I was baking. I used up a bit, but I accidentally made way too much, so I sealed it up nice and tight and put it away in a dark, empty cupboard where nothing could destroy it.

Flash forward a month later, I get the jar out to use for something else and there's an ocean of ants drowning in it. Turns out there was a tiny crack in the jar and all the ants sniffed out the sweet sugary syrup and came out from god-knows-where and let all nine circles of hell loose on their bounty, only to be mummified alive in amber treacle-y hell.

Some part of me finds it pretty tragic that ants, small enough to dodge radiation, resilient, loyal, strong, these wonderful, overall near-invincible creatures-

Yeah, some part of me finds it pretty tragic that they managed to squeeze into the tiniest crack in the impenetrable wall guarding their treasure and rushed in to claim their bounty, only to be defeated by a trap spun from liquified sugar and human ambition.

I don't know if I identity more with the jar or the ants (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

#krupukpost #golden syrup #baking #ants #the moral of the story is that ants suck ass #i got an ant under my ipad screeen once and it was just freaking burned in frying living it's best live in its equivalent of the sun's core #rambles #i dont know #why is everything so exhausting bro drowning in treacle is preferable to going through life sometimes #i hate ants #word vomit #im in spain without the a 😞#'where'd your jar of syrup go' the ants eaded it all :( just as they shall consume our rotting flesh from our bodies when we're laid to rest #tag urself #r u the jar of promise sealed away somewhere in hiding only for the enemy to penetrate the smallest crack in order to drain u again #or r u the ants marching towards their inevitable death dreaming of glory and offbrand honey drowned in what they love #can u guys tell im tired and don't know whag the hell im writinf 🐟

It's all kicking off in the syrup fandom

apparently they decided to chuck their old 'dead lion filled with a beehive' logo for something less deathy, despite it being the oldest continuous logo in the world. From this:

To this:

people are not happy. but the lion seems happier.

A fantastic British recipe: Mary Berry's Treacle Tart

A traditional British treat that baffles many non-Brits is treacle tart. The dessert's earliest recorded recipe can be found in cookbooks by English author Mary Jewry from the late 19th century. It is created using short-crust pastryf with a thick filling consisting of breadcrumbs, lemon juice or zest, and golden syrup, often known as light treacle.

The mary berry treacle tart with cream is typically served warm or hot with a dollop of custard, ice cream, clotted cream, or regular cream. Some contemporary versions incorporate cream, eggs, or both for a softer filling. Similar to soda bread but with the addition of treacle, treacle bread is a homemade bread that is well-liked in Ireland.

Popular Marry Berry Treacle Tart Cultures

Sweetheart is called a "treacle tart" in Cockney. The 1968 British fantasy movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang featured this dish, The evil children shouts that he is giving away free candy to draw kids out of the basement. That’s mary berry treacle tart chitty chitty bang bang.

Marry Berry Treacle tart, a dessert frequently served at Hogwarts feasts, is Harry Potter's favorite dish in the Harry Potter book series. In the Pie-Off on episode 108 of the Dave Dameshek Football Program, it just edged out the Pecan Pie.

The Mary Berry treacle tart in harry potter is mentioned in the first episode of Season 3 of Downton Abbey when the servants are eating lunch, and Carson remarks, "That treacle tart hit the spot, thank you, Mrs. Patmore."

Treacle tart Marry Berry – what is it?

A thick, creamy confectionery filling sweetened with treacle is baked inside a flaky short-crust pastry shell to create the classic British delicacy known as treacle tart. Simple grocery essentials like heavy cream, breadcrumbs, eggs, and lemon juice are mixed with this sweet syrup to make a decadently decadent dessert filling with undertones of caramel. This nineteenth-century rustic treat is ideal for teatime nibbling or as part of a holiday dessert presentation. Despite its lengthy history, treacle tart is probably best known to Harry Potter fans worldwide as the preferred dessert of a specific boy wizard. The name "treacle tart," which rhymes with the word "sweetheart," is also a favorite in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Treacle Tart: What Does It Taste Like?

The syrupy ingredient that gives treacle tart its name, treacle, provides the tart's prominent flavor. The classic treacle tart varies including black treacle tart, dark treacle tart and chocolate treacle tart. There are two types of this thick, gooey substance, which is prepared from partially refined sugar: light treacle, often known as golden syrup, and the more rich, darker black treacle (aka molasses). Both black and light treacle has a syrupy consistency and a sweet taste, but black treacle has a slightly bitter flavor, whereas mary berry light treacle tart tastes more caramelized. For this reason, treacle shouldn't be replaced with corn syrup, which is sweet but essentially flavorless. With overtones of lemon and a creamy, rich flavor, this treacle tart dish, which uses light treacle, has a buttery tart crust.

Making The Best Marry Berry Treacle Tart: 4 Tips

Bakers can successfully make this traditional dish of all levels of experience. Make the most of your treacle tart by using this simple advice.

Start by making the crust. Schedule to ensure you have enough time to blind-bake your homemade short-crust pastry. If you're short on time, you may significantly reduce prep time by using a store-bought pie crust as the foundation of best mary berry treacle tart recipe.

Make your breadcrumbs, step two. Use handmade breadcrumbs rather than those from the store for the most delicate flavor and texture. To create homemade breadcrumbs, toast some fresh bread or leave it on the counter for a day, then pulse it in a food processor or blender until fine breadcrumbs form.

Modify the fat. Even though this recipe asks for butter, try substituting half of the butter for lard for a vibrant and fluffy tart. This traditional pastry component will result in the flakiest crust imaginable.

Don't use corn syrup or Karo instead of golden syrup. If you can't locate golden syrup, create some at home instead. It's simple to accomplish and essential for making an actual treacle tart.

Marry Berry Treacle Tart- Easy Recipe

Ingredients for treacle tart：

12 ounces of all-purpose flour

kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon

1 cup cubed, cooled unsalted butter

ice water, 1/3 cup

For the filling for treacle tart:

Light treacle, 1 cup (golden syrup)

fresh white breadcrumbs in a cup

1/4 cup of heavy cream

One has a gently beaten egg.

One lemon's juice and zest

Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or clotted cream (optional)

How to Make the Perfect Marry Berry treacle tart:

1.Make the short-crust pastry in step 1. The flour and salt should be beaten together in a sizable mixing dish.

2. Using your hands, incorporate the excellent butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

3. Add the cold water to the pastry mixture, stirring to blend until slightly crumbly. All of the water might not be necessary.

4. Transfer the dough to a surface lightly dusted with flour and give it a minute or so of gentle kneading.

5. Roll the dough into a disk approximately an inch thick and flatten it.

6. Chill the pastry dough in the fridge for an hour by wrapping it in plastic.

7. When the dough is nearly done, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and gently butter a pie plate or 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

8. Take the dough out of the fridge and lay it on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour.

9. Carefully place the dough in the pan and use your fingers to press it gently into the tart mold. The dough should be more comprehensive than the pan, or around 10 inches.

10. With a fork, pierce the dough five to six times at its base.

11. Cover the crust with a sheet of parchment paper and fill the middle with dry beans, rice, or pie weights.

12. Place the mary berry treacle tart in tart pan in the oven and blind-bake the crust for 10 minutes or until mostly firm.

13. Take out the dried beans and parchment paper from the crust and bake it for an additional 10 minutes, or until it starts to brown.

14. Prepare the filling in a medium bowl. The treacle, bread crumbs, cream, egg, and lemon juice are all thoroughly mixed.

15. Top the blind-baked crust with the treacle filling.

16. Return the tart pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is firm and golden brown.

17. After taking the tart out of the oven, let it cool for ten minutes before cutting.

18. If desired, top the treacle tart with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or clotted cream before serving.

How to Prepare a Marry Berry Treacle Tart

Marry Berry Treacle tart is delicious in any climate. However, serving this delicacy warm with clotted cream, whipped cream, or even ice cream on top is the typical British way to enjoy it.

It is understandable why the treacle tart is one of the most favored British sweets with its flaky, buttery crust and thick, gooey inside. Harry Potter also likes it; he even noticed it when he was near the Amortentia love potion! It's a simple dessert you can make and serve with afternoon tea. It's made with golden syrup, lemon zest, breadcrumbs combined and heated to generate sentimentality, and a deliciously buttery, flaky short crust.

If you don't have any immediate plans to travel across the pond, this luscious Marry Berry tart is worth trying. It would be ideal for serving during a birthday celebration with a Harry Potter theme. With some whipped cream, clotted cream, or a serving of homemade custard, serve your treacle tart.

The Marry Berry Treacle tart is simple to make and has a delicious flavor that is difficult to pass up. This simple Marry Berry treacle tart and fudgy or cakey brownies I've shared before are a must-make dessert if you want to host a traditional afternoon tea with friends!

They're Escaping the Asylum, and Running Things!

Here I go again, repeating myself, I know. As potentially boring as it may be, something tells me that you, my friend, may well be as exasperated as me by now. So, here we go. Let's share a common vent as we continue to highlight the sheer idiocy of others nowadays.

Where shall we begin? I know, how about The image of a dead lion being swarmed by bees to be dropped from some of Lyle's Golden Syrup packaging. Question one: who actually cares enough about a graphic on a tin can no one even notices anyway? Question two: What relevance, if any does an insignificant graphic have on a buying decision if someone wants a tin of golden syrup? Not me, for sure, and finally, Question three: who is the marketing numpty who considered this a good idea, and did it cause them to lose any sleep due to the graphic which has been in place for somewhere around 150 years without any bother whatsoever? Actually, I have just thought of one further question. Does this person not have a hobby, because clearly he/she/it has far too much time on their hands.

In a similar vein, I was asked by a news channel to participate in a live broadcast about the statue of Bristol's Edward Colston, earlier this week, as later on that day Bristol city council would be having a meeting regarding its future. My point is that the Colston statue has been in place since seventeen hundred and something, with millions of people passing it by since then on their way to and from work, to schools, universities, for business meetings and conferences, and tourists and shoppers alike, all going about whatever they had to do at the time.

To all intents and purposes, no one gave so much as a flying fig about it because it was just there, and pretty much invisible to all except a self-entitled minority over the past few years who suddenly felt oh, so offended by its presence - poor dears, pulled it down, and then returned home to, I presume, watch children's television following their petulant outburst without even the satisfaction of receiving so much as a Blue Peter badge for their efforts. Awww. Still, as long as it served to feed their oversized egos they were happy, bless them. Meanwhile, of course, the majority of Bristol 'adult's did the adult thing and averted their gaze to the Colston statue, as similarly, the same can be said for those who bought golden syrup over the years.

What next then? Aha, yes, here's another among the loonies who, newly born, deserved to have been baptised in a font of sulphuric acid to save the rest of us from their later life moronisitis (yes, I just made that word up). The prize pillock here is whichever employee of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (MS) decided to sack pensioner Fran Itkoff from her volunteer position with the charity because she "asked what pronouns meant". Fran Itkoff had served the non-profit for multiple sclerosis patients for 60 years, with her late husband running the Long Beach Lakewood chapter before his death.

She was left stunned when her bosses forced her to step down on January 19 following an exchange with a colleague who asked her to use her pronouns in email signatures. Well now, isn't this "colleague" just full of her own self-importance, or what? I'm surprised her ego doesn't get in the way of her entering whatever building doorway gives her access to her work. Aren't you? Pronouns, my arse, get over yourself woman before you fall off your high horse and injure yourself. These people aren't even worth the satire. Hence, as soon as people begin thrusting their inane pronouns at me in any communication I go incommunicado with immediate effect until they've got over themselves, or, penguins takeover Parliament. Whichever is sooner. I'm not fussed.

Shall we all now deep-breathe for a couple of minutes before I move on? Very well.

Ready for the next assault on your common sense, are you? Good. So, how about this one? Charity umbrella group Wildlife and Countryside Link claim that the British countryside is a "racist colonial" white space. You see, lunatics like this would be enough to drive the sane of our population on the phone to the Samaritans helpline 24/7, wouldn't they? I feel a headache coming on just from writing about it! Which, of course, leads me towards some smartarse saying, "Well, the majority of 'adults would avert their gaze," I suppose. Yeah, yeah, there's always one! Except, like most, I hope, normal, common-sense people with even a modicum of intelligence would recognise blatant, and quite unnecessary stupidity when they see it.

Whoever dreamed this idea up is clearly scraping whatever barrels of employment they can find that enables them to keep their, no doubt, high-paid job. Simply finding problems where none exist to justify their status and salary by stating the countryside as "'racist space dominated by white people' as well as, and wait for it. Yes, grip on to something firm now, "The UK’s role in the European colonial project has also driven the current climate and nature crises."

"European colonial project"? What the hell is that supposed to be? Do you know the worst part about this? Someone has probably been to university for three, or four years, to learn this tripe. It continues, "People of colour in the UK are significantly less likely to visit natural spaces." Give me a break! I'm surprised whoever didn't go further in stating that whenever a black person is seen in the countryside the locals assume it's an African missionary come to convert them all to Christianity because they are such a rare sight out in the sticks. I can just picture it now, loads of white people hurriedly retreating back to their homes, scared out of their wits at the sight of a black face.

Look, lighthearted humour aside, I don't know about you, but I've seen skin of all colours meandering around the countryside and enjoying it. Some people of ethnic minorities have even discovered we have things called buses, coaches, and even trains here in England. How cool is that! If people search hard enough they'll even find out how to use our buses, coaches, and trains too. Wow, twenty-first Britain, who'd have thought it? However, sometimes I do wonder for myself. So, despite this person's claims, and the transport systems we have in place, I'd say it's more a case of lack of interest combined with laziness that fewer people of colour are seen in the countryside, wouldn't you agree?

Finally, because I simply cannot continue with more of this lunacy without an entire month of Valium to calm my increasingly shredding nerves, I arrive at Pillock Central as the final destination on this particular journey, and Labour MP (seems about right so far - no pun intended) Charlotte Nichols, who was either taking the proverbial, or awaiting psychiatric intervention perhaps, and wanted to change the law to let dead people switch their gender. Hey hun, as much as I hate to state the bleeding obvious. Once you're dead, you're dead. It's a terminal thing, you know? No one is going to rise up out of their grave and complain. Trust me, and move on.

I'm done!
