Firstly a decent pastry is my (not so) secret weakness.High quality research requires high quality cake. Or in this case a high quality pastry. Pistachio cream filling from the bi-weekly farmers market. So many awesome foods there, I’m surprised they don’t run it weekly. Had a Filipino lunch which was awesome, but I missed out on their BBQ chicken which was disappointing!
I would have understood bi-weekly to be twice a week. Reads like you are using it as every two weeks in which case bi-monthly.
Maybe it is a British thing I am unaware of.
Usually people say fortnightly if something is every other week.

Correct...fortnightly not bi-weekly.
I was really just checking because I still occasionally get thrown new (odd) things every now and then in England. I cannot talk about the other parts of the United Kingdom or indeed the British Isles.
I think my all time favourite is tea. All my life, tea is something served in a bag or loose leaves with boiling water thrown over it.
Teatime is around 15h30-16h00 where there is tea (the liquid refreshment) or coffee served with edibles such as biscuits, cakes or small, light sandwiches.
Imagine my surprise (and our host) when we turned up at their home around 15h30 for tea. If it is served after 17h30 (more like 18h30 onwards) it is supper. Not dinner. Supper. And most certainly not tea. But sometimes dinner
If however, it were to be served at 12h30-13h30 it would be lunch although here it would seem it is sometimes dinner (after all, the kids would get dished up by the dinner lady). Except when it is to do with business. Then it is a business lunch. I do sometimes laugh at the idiosyncrasies.
Based on the judgement of others in here, you still had a good 4 years left to use that gravy6y
I grabbed my tub of beef gravy granules and saw it expired last year.
I am retard
I mean fortnightly. I can only enjoy bird poop croissant every fortnight.
@Noughtboy - come to the Midlands if you want to be utterly baffled by idiosyncrasies and strange meal times. As a Southerner meals are strictly in the order: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner.

Chilli tonight
Even on here we cannot agree. How the hell are immigrants supposed to work it out without a lifetime of experience?
Forget importing multiculturalism... it's alive and well currently. Each county brings its own flavour before even examining the North/South divide.
Next time, try add a little Sumac when cooking the rice. Adds a wonderful colour to it. And with enough, will add a zing to the chilli beef.Chilli tonight
It's not even a North/South divide, we're from the same town. They're just wrong.

How do you do them?
I do mine in the toaster and pop out as soon as they start swelling.

One recent noticeable change was Afghans going into many of the local take-aways, which for me and friends was a change for the worse, as their dishes can taste so different from those made by Bangladeshi chefs.

Pretty much the same, probably the knife isn't sharp enough and tears rather than cuts !

I didn't have any shrimp paste in the cupboard, but yes.. it does smell somewhat off-putting when you open it. Does make Thai food (in the right dish) nicer somehow though

Ham Salad
Is that really a Ham salad? Whilst I am sure you enjoyed it, it looks more like a HLT (Ham, lettuce, tomato).Ham Salad
