It’s overrated squishy weird shit.

Honestly, the fuck have you been eating?

A few years ago I saw njuda on a cooking program.
So hunted a big slab of it down from a posh deli to make pizza for a bit of a dinner party.
It wasn’t great.

You don't need big slabs though, just subtle amounts dotted about. It's the perfect pizza ingredient!

It's not that everyone has to like everything, obviously. It's just that if you have such a tepid reaction to nduja, it can't have been very good nduja.

Main thing to say about it is that it really isn't fancy food, it's a way of preserving sausage meat from Italy's second poorest region where they often bring you a bowl, for free, in totally normal restaurants. Spicy as all hell, too, they're insane down there.

I did slice it thinly. 
It just wasn’t right.
Maybe I bought a bad piece. 
Had to bin most of it.

Hey you don't have to like it! It was more that you sounded underwhelmed, and one thing nduja should do - like it or not - is provoke a strong reaction. That's what made me think maybe you got a bad batch.

(God I hope we sign someone soon.)

How can anyone not have heard of nduja before?

Where do you people live? 1975?

Most people up here haven't heard of nduja. I'm more likely to find it back in Blighty than around these parts.

I only heard of it when the capital changed from Lagos.

I'm not an expert, but I think your first mistake might have been buying a specialist Italian sausage mush from a Polish deli.

I’d never heard of it previously but it’s understandable as I’m not a big foodie ponce.

Forget transfer gossip, I'm admiring Monty's readiness to discuss the preservation of sausage meat. What a brave lad.

Twitter saying we've bid for a Saudi right back.

Saud Abdulhamid

Only 5ft 7? Quick though

Wiki says he's 24, but I'm not sure if that is in Saudi or UK years.

Remember when we signed Foreman Grill? Hardly made any appearances.
