Just brilliant

'Pin the knob on the Cerne giant.'

That one slipped out during editing (sorry). I hope they don't change it.

I am DISGUSTED that food is being wasted in this way when many people in this world are starving!

[Rhiannon]

They won't be edible, Floo. The knobs will be too hard.

[Nearly Sane]

But then those knobs were created just to be hard and tossed off over a field

[Rhiannon]

4,000 of them apparently.

[Gordon]

4,000 of them apparently.

That's a lot of knobs: perhaps they congregate, such as at Tory party conferences.

[bluehillside Retd.]

At least if someone was hit by a flying knob they'd wouldn't be able to sue - it'd never stand up in court.

But they are using flour etc to make them one presumes?

[Sebastian Toe]

Self raising flour? 

[Rhiannon]

This is the thing with knobs - you get nothing for ages then 4,000 come at once.

[Rhiannon]

Self raising flour?

Plain would be disappointing.

[floo]

I think it should be illegal to use food products in this way.

Yes -
'Originally they were made from leftover bread dough with added butter and sugar, hand-rolled into buns and left to dry in the dying heat of the oven
It is thought their name comes from the hand-sewn Dorset knob buttons that were also made locally
They can be eaten with Blue Vinny cheese, dipped in tea or cider, or taken with honey and cream - known locally as thunder and lightning'

Sound nice but I s'pose the ones being thrown are a day or more old so they're hard.

Floo regrettable as it may be there is lot of excess food thrown away in this country & more than a few old rolls. Meat & veg, deli stuff. Supermarket skips are filled up with good food every day. 'nuff to make you become a Freegan!

The rolls should be donated to the food banks before they become unusable.

[Robbie]

Do food banks take bread type stuff? Maybe packaged,longlife bread like Scher. Doubt they take unpackaged rolls.
They could be donated to a homeless drop in centre.

It's Bank Holiday Monday and this is a thread about knob jokes. Be off with your serious food bank discussion.

[bluehillside Retd.]

Rhi,

It's Bank Holiday Monday and this is a thread about knob jokes. Be off with your serious food bank discussion.

A Jewish friend of mine told me that he had advance notice of this event. Apparently he'd had a tip off.

[Robbie]

I was kicked off Ready, Steady, Cook.I misinterpreted the instruction "a knob of butter".

And a nob of butter...

4000 knobs being tossed off in a field. Who could ask for a more splendid sight.

Read TFA. They're made of left over bread dough.

[floo]

It is still wasted FOOD and therefore WRONG, imo!

[Robbie]

Birds rodents and foxes will eat it.
Those who only come out at night will gather up the rolls, take them back to their caves & toast over an open fire to dip in their communal soup cauldron.
