As an American, I must voice my opinion and be heard!

Interesting. I must be a Mind Control Dominator and didn't realise it. ^_^

Damn you. I don't HAVE any chocolate digestives. There was a pack of dark chocolate ones floating around a week or so ago, but they appear to have vanished.

It's going to have to be tea and Cadbury's Dairy Milk instead. And yes, I do mean I will be dunking a chocolate bar into my tea.

You Philistine!

Also, I'm so glad you're back on the forums! ^_^

I ******* love mushy peas.

I could go for some right now.

Tatty scones, I assume they're what's sold as potato cakes?

God damn it, I could go for one of those with a fried egg on it, and I already had bangers 'n' mash today.

I make a ******* awesome bangers 'n' mash.

Give me carrots.

Yaay! Welcome back Stasis!

/agreed

...and mushy peas with take away fish and chips is absolutely delightful.

Those aren't true mushy peas! Those are processed marrowfat peas that have been squished.

TRUE mushy peas are dried peas that have been soaked in a bicarbonate of soda solution for 24 hours, then boiled until they reach a pale green mush, then served with a nice roast dinner, with gravy. Delicious!

NO! NononononoNO! What's with you Brits and mushy peas D:
They're icky >.<

Pfft - Digestives and Rich Teas are both pathetic dunkers when faced with the mighty Tanker of biscuits that is the Hob Nob, as demonstrated here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0IJpjQbPHw

That is all.

But... Half the fun is in seeing if you can get the biscuit out WITHOUT it falling apart! The other half is getting it wrong and scooping the bugger out with a spoon.

HobNobs are no good for this! They're too sturdy!

I would, of course, fully expect such a response from a drinker of peat bog water.

Also known as Guinness.

You think it's bad there?

They serve the Guinness COLD here in the States! All you can taste is the bitterness when the stuff is cold.

You have to wait 10 minutes for it to warm up properly before the Guinness is even halfway enjoyable

Living in a country with hot summers has the downside of it being a nation of lager/pilsner beer drinkers who only want it cold

Hardly surprising, given American beer. If you let that stuff warm up so that you can actually taste it properly instead of just freezing your taste buds, you'd never drink it!

It's like having a coke after the can has been inside a hot car for a few hours... URGH!!!

Nope, just American beer.

No, all beer.

OMG! You're like the bestest ever electronic amalgamation friend a rabbit could have!

gief carrots nao plox!

Oh, c'mon G_G! It's like drinking a really dry wine for the first time. All you can taste is the spoiled grape juice.

You're palette needs a chance to get used to it. Then you can begin to notice all the subtle notes of flavor that are present

Beer and wine exist for the exact same two reasons: To get you into an altered state of consciousness or to compliment the flavor of your food

You get to decide which

I also get to order a soda instead

You order a slice of bread instead of beer?

And the lot of you can forget your Marmite, Mushy Peas and Black Pudding.
A good Ulster Fry is the breakfast of kings!

For the uninitiated, an Ulster fry is a traditional Northern Irish Breakfast consisting of anything from 6 to 36 pieces of the following fried foodstuffs: Bacon (Cremated), Eggs (Fried, yoke slightly runny. No complaining!), Taty Farl (Potato Bread), Soda Farl (Soda Bread), Pork Sausages (Batter optional), Baked Beans (Optional), Mushrooms (Optional), Tomato (Optional), Red or Brown sauce (Optional but you'll get funny looks if you don't take them) and Heart Attack (Almost Guaranteed, being the main sign of a good healthy Ulster diet. Dry yer eyes!!). Often served with a portion of thick-cut chunky chips (this is known simply as "a chip" and comes well-fried with salt and vinegar). Preferably these chips will be mainly yellow, but going slightly brown and manky 'round the edges... although it's often a point of pride to eat them even if they are still dripping with cooking fat.

Haha... you know, Custard Creams have to be a personal favourite of mine for dunking

A scot! Get him! ;p
