Title: The Internet never Forgets.. or something like that, right?
Post by: Bob-A-Job on December 04, 2025, 05:42 AM
I used to have a 'go to' recipe for Refried Black Beans (I think I mentioned I have been enjoying Mexican most, recently :wink:)

Thing is, whilst I can remember most of the ingredients, I wanted to check the qty's and.. I have searched the WWW for the last few days.. can't find it...

So, maybe, not everything lasts forever on the Internet...

Should we be worried about that here? Is it a 'recently viewed' thing, with older stuff 'dropping' off search results and eventually unavailable altogether?

Some great threads on here with discussion about methods and practices, not just recipes.

I am currently experimenting with making my own 'Ghee'.  Will post when I get consistent results... sometimes it is better than Retail :like: and sometimes not. :confusing3:

Unfortunately there’s a lot of thread rot here on this site and lost info. A pity, especially on the recipe side. I’d like to revisit some vindaloo recipes from years past..
Keep digging for that beans recipe.  One advantage of being in the US, no shortage of great Mexican restaurants

I am not sure.  The link appears to be to cookbooks, the latest edition being 2015.

The recipe I used to use as a 'go to' was an online page like this (https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=14190.0)

But maybe it has been deleted (Internet remembers everything?)/moved behind a paywall (most likely?)

I am probably part of the problem, as I used to go straight to the Ingredients list without even remembering the author or any site it was hosted on and hence why I am now confused.. in fact I used to find it so easily, I never even bookmarked it (as you do when you land on a 'gem' every now and again, without realising how you got there)

Thanks Phil but I don't think so.
