**FOODCOUNT 31/1 v MAN CITY - MORRISONS 500g GNOCCHI**

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Tue Jan 30, 2024 7:10 am

Hi all, sorry it's a bit late. I did promise by Monday but by the time I'd have got round to it last night you'd have all been in bed.

Anyway without further ado, presenting to you a bag of Morrisons Italian Gnocchi

Not a lot to do here except guess the correct number of pieces of chewy mashy goodness. I'll be awarding 5 points to the winner, 10 if the guess is bang on.

The count will close tomorrow night around 6.30 - I'll give fair warning before hand.

Again, apologies for lateness and good luck!

UTC!

Boil gnocchi for one minute

Serve with a sauce made up of onion, garlic, condensed mushroom soup, parsley, chopped chestnut mushroom, lardons, single cream and white wine.

Top with Parmesan and extra parsley.

Thank me later x

41 gnocchi on the oche

Do you think y’alls recipes will work with this bag of gluten-free cauliflower gnocchi that’s been in my freezer a year or do you think it’ll fall apart?

If it does, you could always call it "bubble and squeak"

Noshies = snacks, and a play on the pronunciation on gnocchi.

Trying to figure out whether 31/1 refers to today's date, our odds of winning tonight, or the aggregate score of our last five matches at the Etihad

Not sure of the rules of the food count but whilst I'm here I'll throw in a guess of 60 gnocchi.

ClaretGeorgina · Post by **ClaretGeorgina** » Wed Jan 31, 2024 1:41 pm

Having trouble uploading an image as - file too big for it so you'll have to take my word for it...

The actual number of d vicious potato balls was 84!

Closest guesser was claretblue who came in at the final knockings with 87 and takes all 5 points.

Congratulations and thanks to all who participated

Now for 3 PTS tonight....

I’m just glad I’m not doing dry January as I feel a few glasses of anaesthetic may be required during the football game. Still, Up The Mighty Clarets, come what may.

Another late count this week sees us put in another shite performance on the pitch
