Rationing lasted until the mid-50s and left a lasting impression on people’s diets. It’s taken decades to recover socially, mainly with the aid of foreign cuisine.
I mean, we had rationing in Italy too, but you don’t see people struggling to make a passing meal here. I’m pretty sure we were also much poorer than the British both going into and coming out of WW2
At first, I thought that you declared Indian immigrants as a minimum viable product. After some googling I guess it’s meant to be most valuable players. Small but significant difference. 😂
There are many good ones, and many rip off artists who spend as much time disguising their horseshit as they would just doing real work. At a certain point, consultancies started hiring less and less experienced people who had to sell more and more bullshit.
Acronyms and abbreviations are psychologically powerful; they imply something is commonplace or important to the point of it not needing to be spelled out. When you suddenly coin a random one you can pretend you know something the listener doesn’t-- you’re right back to the emperor’s new clothes–most people are too scared to ask. Any industry, same shit.
While we’re on this tangent, I’ve always felt the need to point out the following.
Minimum Viable Product = Poorly planned, or not planned at all, crappy product that is created in haste by overworked, stressed out developers to make some middle manager in a suit and sneakers type feel like they’re doing something to please corporate, because they don’t have the guts or good sense to push back. This abomination is usually sold as “we’ll flesh it out in phase two.” Phase two never happens, because they’re off chasing whatever either shiny thing they think is important. Also, the last MVP that they farted out “didn’t gain traction.” /rant
Savory mince is simultaneously one of the best and worst meals I’ve ever had in my life. When its done right its amazing, when its bad its proper fucking garbage.
Nearly - minced beef in gravy with some chopped vegetables thrown in (usually peas and carrots), next to boiled potatoes (that are usually mashed up).
Some parts of the UK have bread and butter as a side with everything.
It is a hearty dinner mind - it’s not flashy or instagram-ready, but it is tasty and fills you up.

Indian immigrants are the MVPs 👍

Oh shit that would have been so bad hahah
Why does the same acronym have meanings on two extremes :(
In short, consultancies.

I like all the acronyms and shit. It helps me know who to ignore, or avoid working for / with.
