Hmmm,

not enough interest, and it was only asked a week ago, by 2 different ppl,

I posted this last week.... we need a food and drink subforum IMO. Talk about restaurants, snacks, booze, knives...whatever. I think it would be a great little subforum community.

My thread got locked though.

Bad idea me thinks - people will just flambé the threads - over a moderate to high heat.

Just because 2 people asked doesn't mean it was popular or would have enough threads to warrant a sub forum.

If I see a recipe I might fancy doing in the future I just bookmark it.

Actually when you cluster together food, drink, restaurants etc. may be I've changed my view. Although some of the sub-forums do seem to suffer from a lack of traffic.

Why not have a trial run for a week and see how popular it gets?

I'll answer for the Dons "no there wont be enough interest in it blah blah"

This has come up before and here simply isn't enough threads to warrant a whole sub forum. Not only that but cooking threads come around in waves and there can be a gap of weeks in between threads sometimes.

Only if people stop using the cooking with 'add name' thread titles. It's gay.

As someone took it upon themselves to create the Rogues Gallery, would anyone be up for creating some form of OcUK cooking blog where people can submit recipes?

Or at the very least somewhere to archive the ones posted on here, providing the authors are willing for that to be done.

Or how about if it really merits it's own forum the mod team will make one with their own prerogative

This could be a good idea

Maybe Adz will donate some hosting for it

Can we have a "gentlemen's" forum please

Only the top 4 threads are really cooking threads, hangover cures don't count.

And even the four threads happen to be an abnormal spike in the distribution.
