    Has anyone ever tried the various sandwiches mentioned in Red Dwarf? Fried egg chilli chutney, banana and crisps, grilled cheese with sugar puffs, etc. If so, what did you think of them? I tried a fried egg chilli chutney sandwich a while ago, and honestly it just tasted like eating a big clumpy horrible spongy shit rubbery nasty mess with occasional hints of chilli sauce. Also I tried a grilled cheese with sugar puff sandwich, which was surprisingly actually alright, although there are much better things to be putting in your grilled cheese than cereals. Never tried banana and crisps, although I can’t imagine it being very good

    Not being from the UK, I only just now learned that Sugar Puffs are a cereal.

    They’re called “Honey Monster Puffs” now for some reason, weirdly. Not sure what all that’s about, Sugar Puffs is a much better name. Who’s going to want to eat a cereal called “Monster Puffs”? It’s a bit too aggressive for breakfast time

    ‘Mastersmeg: The Official Red Dwarf Cookbook – 20 Zany Recipes for Dwarfers’ is an obvious cash-in release that’s never happened.

    (From the mandatory, cringeworthy and implausible in-universe perspective of the characters writing the book, obviously).

    Maybe they didn’t want to be responsible for the health consequences.

    Series VII has the only food worth eating. Lobster (thermidor?), waffles, cheesy fried eggs, cottage cheese, tinned peaches, various curry dishes, afternoon tea, roast chicken.

    Better than a pea on toast anyway.

    A Pea on Toast by Queeg 500

    Ingredients:
    1 slice bread, toasted
    1 pea, tinned

    Serves:
    1 sucker

    Directions:
    Okay suckers, get this into your stupid, thick heads. There’s only one thing I’m going to say to you: toast bread in a toaster until brown, place pea… Did someone mention toast? Oh Gordon Bennett, who let him etc etc etc. Essential stocking stuffer Christmas 2019.

    Have we ever actually seen Lister eat a curry?

    Tikka to Ride Xtended aside, where he dips a napkin in curry sauce, we never actually see him sit down with an actual Indian meal do we?

    He has a curry while in Better Than Life doesn’t he? And they have one in Jane Austen world at the end of Beyond A Joke. I guess they’re both virtual curries though.

    22 years of thinking fried eggs coated in cheese sounds really nice but my wise old arteries refusing to let me put this into practice.

    That’s true. For someone that apparently only eats curry, we only ever see him eat 2. If someone ate curry twice in their life you wouldn’t say that person constantly ate curry would you.

    He eats one in Waiting For God and Holoship as well, doesn’t he

    #243471

    Not sure about Waiting for God, but I suppose the most obvious example is DNA when they turn his curry into the curry monster!

    Ok, maybe Lister does eat more curry then I noticed.

    #243472

    Not sure about Waiting for God

    We see him order a vindaloo for breakfast.

    If we’re using the term curry to broadly mean ‘spicy food vaguely of Indian origin’, then the shami kebab should count too.

    Still, it was interesting to very briefly entertain the idea that “Lister eats curry” might be a “beam me up Scotty”/”elementary” type popular myth. Even with the original post saying “aside from that time.”

    I tried to think if any of the main characters never say “smeg,” but I think it’s only Kochanski who doesn’t. Holly says it once(?) in White Hole, Cat in Bodyswap and maybe elsewhere.

    That’s sort of what I was thinking, but rushed to post then made a prat of myself.

    Anyway, back to the sandwiches, I’ve not had it, but banana and crisp sounds like it should work. Might give it a go. Bananas liven anything up. I was at Asia De Cuba at the St Martins Lane hotel in London for our staff Christmas party last month and they had banana in with the fried squid rings, was bloody delicious.

    #243475

    On the subjects of characters not doing what they’re known to do, we never see Kryten clean a toilet, but then I guess we do see him doing every other domestic task.

    I hope that’s true and not just a joke. Like Rick Wakeman having a curry delivered to the stage because he was bored playing in Yes.

    There’s a line from Rimmer about it:

    “Look, if you get curry all over them, how’s that going to look? What’s Lieutenant-General Baron Jaquinaux of the First Cavalry Division supposed to be doing with meat vindaloo all over his tunic?”

    At this rate it might be easier to identify the episodes where Lister *doesn’t* eat curry.

    The irony being that when I frequented the reddwarf.co.uk forums I went by the name curry monster.

    I feel ashamed and would hand in my membership card if I had one.

    >Not sure what all that’s about, Sugar Puffs is a much better name.
    Sugar is bad, innit.

    I had a sugar puff sandwich once. It was… not very good. Sugar puffs and butter just don’t go, plus it’s just dry cereal, which some people seem to love but always just makes me long for some milk.

    #243548

    Sugar Puffs and milk barely go and that’s their intended purpose, so I’m unsurprised to learn they’re not great on bread Feels like you’re eating fluff from a tumble dryer.

    >Kochanski doesn’t say smeg
    Whoa really? Can’t believe Holly only said it once either

    Has -anyone- ever said “beam me up, person” in Star Trek? I feel like it’s a totally taboo thing to do, forbidden, so meta it would cause the whole star trek universe to collapse in on itself

    There was one Shatnerverse audio book which was prized as one of the few audio recordings of Kirk speaking the phrase in character.

    Star Trek IV has “Scotty, beam me up.” I don’t know if that was already a knowing wink by 1986.

    I don’t know about the newer films, surely Simon Pegg couldn’t resist doing some kind of reference.

    #243552

    Well obviously they’ve gotten pretty close to saying it on dozens of occasions, but I was wondering if they ever said it verbatim. Hard to tell if it’s a knowing wink or just down to the fact that they do a lot of beaming in Trek and there’s only so many ways you can tell somebody to transport you

    Not a big fan of milk on cereal really, it gets all moist and soggy. As I type this I’m eating a bowl of dry Grape Nuts and it’s pretty good

    I was wondering, does Cat ever refer to Lister by his name? To my mind, he only calls Rimmer by his name three times – in Better Than Life, Bodyswap and Blue.

    Additional: I’ve never had a Sugar Puff sandwich, but I did make a Coco Pops sandwich once. The chocolate mixed into the butter. Nice.

    He tells Hogie “you want Lister” or something like that in The Beginning. Sounds weird.

    He also says “Rimmer” in Bodyswap at least.

    Episodes where they don’t say smeg (according to fan transcribed scripts, anyway): Terrorform, Back to Reality, Emohawk, Pete Part 1, Twentica, Can of Worms, Cured.

    That’s more than a season smeg-free. Take that, Iain Collings.

    Both Rimmer and Cat say Lister when pointing for Lister to be judged first in The Inquisitor.

    Way back when, I used to think that, in Back To Reality, Lister says, “Either we try to persuade it that we’re not that kind of oceanic salvage vessel, or”… (and this is where I made my mishearing) …”we Starbug pronto.”
    Which makes absolutely no sense, but it’s just the speed at which Craig delivers the line.

    Shit, wrong thread. This is what comes of reading one thread on the laptop, whilst having just read another on the mobile.

    When I tried making it, it was really horrible imo. But then maybe I wasn’t using the wrong ingredients

    #243884

    I just remembered about 12 years ago ordering a prawn vindaloo because Lister said he’d never had one in Future Echos … I don’t really remember liking it much
