From a short but intense bout of delving into both of these hitherto unknown foodstuffs and correct me if I'm wrong.

All the bits of a carcass that are considered waste, are pureed and forced through a mechanical sieve to make a slurry, mixed with something to give it some taste (the olive or pickle conundrum), the ubiquitous corn syrup and a lot of things from a chemistry set that contain sodium and formed into something pinkish then vac-packed?

Olive, definitely the olive.

Should I buy olive loaf or pickle loaf next time I go to the market?

He handled the meat then picked up the cheese, perhaps choking him wasn't the accepted method of chastisement, either way I prefer Waitrose.

likely the reason I can no longer shop at Marks & Spencer's

SCG thinks our belief in free speech is insufficiently robust and she might have a point.  But goddammit, we will die on a battlefield to defend our right to shop at M&S. 

I genuinely think my dad would join some kind of terror cell if they stopped him (especially if he still had unspent tokens for the cafe).  He's 81.

How can dogs shed so much hair and not go bald? Why does dust collect on the blades of a fan, shouldn't they blow away? Is the instant anxiety I felt when I heard a tree limb crash to the ground a leftover primal instinct? *Legend of Zelda song stuck in my head* I need to clean out the chicken coop. Lunch.

Personally, I find that my private thoughts when given unbidden to others, can be a source of trouble, and is likely the reason I can no longer shop at Marks & Spencer's or approach within 50 metres of the Baptist church, and although a life of social disapprobation may suit me and in rare cases expand my social circle, (albeit just the Baptist ministers wife, smiling when we meet in the Co-op), I would countenance restraint. However, I do welcome the deliberations of others.

Some dude named John can't read the private messages sent here. I don't think there's a lot of places where that kind of a statement might be relevant, but sometimes the words just spring forth, as if from a muse, and it seems wrong to hide that sort of inspiration from the world.
