Why confine this method to cake? Have you seen the movie Tom Jones (1963)? Set in 1749. There’s a banquet scene where the diners spear their food - meat, bread - with knives in the manner you describe.

Not sure it’s the done thing three hundred years on though.

IM TOM JONES!

That's nothing. I glad wrap all my plates then put my food on top so I don't need to wash them. They can just go straight back in the drawer.

Does anyone else keep every single Allen key/hex key they get from flat packs?

I have full proper metric and imperial sets (which I actually use to assemble stuff) but also keep all the ragtag one-offs that come in the boxes from IKEA, etc.

I used to up to a point. Now I'm at a point where I've got all my bases covered

Surely just using the plate means something must get on it?
Cutting with a knife?

That's something I'd expect from Xtreme.

Haha, it was just a joke.

Are these the same extreme cheapskates that hang their paper towels out to dry to use them again?

i dont see how glad wrapping plates would actually be cheaper than washing them

sounds like bullshit to me

I just eat straight out of the frying pan, wok, oven tray

I don't even bother cooking and just eat from the packaging.

I now use my hex key set any time I need to use Allen keys.

Paper/plastic plates, disposable cutlery, no dishes!

Use foil on oven trays, liner in air fryer, so easy.

My dad is very precious with the ceramic hotplate on his new bbq so covers it in baking paper to cook chicken.

I've long been a fan of what I call the 'executive lunch': cracking open a tin of tuna and consuming directly over the sink. Only need to wash a fork when you're done.

I have a very IV in this topic

I figured out a way to get free sausages at my sons hockey. The canteen is where you pay, they give you a bit of bread in a yellow serviette and then you go to the barbecue to get the sausage. So I figure all I need to do is get a loaf of bread and some yellow serviettes, go straight up to the barbie and collect free snags!

Note that I would never do this, I feel like it's poor form to steal from a local sporting club run by volunteers etc etc, I'm not sure why I think of shit like this ha ha

Bunnings you could never do this, every one I've been to they give you the snag as you pay, so no dice there.

You could even just ask that they don't cook them! Get the sausages, go straight home and put them in the fridge. Snags for DAYS!

 

[Billy ray]

if you really want free food*, just go to a hospital around meal times**. walk the wards, dementia area particular, and take food from trays

* if you can call it that
** yes, dinner is 4pm

I feel like that would draw attention to myself "hey why is that bloke getting raw sausages on his bread", might look a bit weird, but thanks for the suggestion.

Or if you CBF wearing a suit and going to the city there are heaps of networking functions, breakfasts etc, just research events at MCEC and hotels around the CBD and go on a food crawl!

Bonus, Lopes would get all the compliments from the babes.

I'd take a compliment from an old duck that's for sure, even a demented one!
