Alcohol should taste like alcohol.

No alcopops or fruit ciders for me!

Agreed.

Cider of any kind is for wronguns.

 

[keybored]

Abbreviating the word "coleslaw" to "slaw" is the mark of a wrong 'un.

What does alcohol taste like? Ethanol? Methanol?

 

[neonwilderness]

Beans then cheese.

I like proper cider - made of fermented apples and cloudy. The other fruit ones just taste like a soft drink!

Somewhere between the two.

I can imagine that it is possible to make decaf instant coffee but how does one make decaf tea?

I have some so I know it is possible.

it's piss weak though

 

[Mumbles274]

Just do baked potatoes in the microwave, they taste great

 

[mauvais]

Tea is too British to be acceptable. If I really wanted to be peak British I'd live in a red phonebox and drive a double decker bus in the rain singing cockney songs about what a wanker I am. But a cup of tea would be too far.

The only good egg is scrambled egg.

I do eat egg in other formats, but IMO scrambled knocks everything else out of the ballpark and is my preferred method of having egg.

Coddled eggs with bacon and pepper are lush.

Fatty cuts do not taste better and the mouthfeel is crap too

I don't completely agree, but I do understand that to an extent - I have a textural issue with fat on meat sometimes. Depends what is done with it, but I do get what you mean.

 

[Orang Utan]

aw man, I love meat fat. I've been listening to that Off Menu podcast and I think my side dish choice would be a medley of fats - lardo, chicken skin, lamb/pork chop rinds, bacon rinds, etc etc

Margherita with pineapple and anchovies for the win!

Pineapple and chilli beats the shit out of pineapple and anchovies

Never mind the how, why would any sane human want to?

Tea is the devil's drink.

to have a cup of tea as a bedtime drink?

I do like chicken skin, I roast a chicken probably every other week - it does me for a few days but the skin is best when freshly roasted and I sometimes just stand in the kitchen and pull the skin off the thing and eat it

Tinned tomatoes in cooked dishes are usually better and cheaper than fresh, plus they don't need peeling.

I think not

 

[Orang Utan]

I think not

caffeinated tea would keep people awake

 

[Orang Utan]

Most takeaway food is shite and a waste of money

It is not a bedtime drink with or without caffeine

Largely agree with that, but I do a spicy prawn linguine which really benefits from a couple of fresh tomatoes chopped and cooked with garlic, olive oil, and white wine - tinned toms are too heavy for that (the effect I am going for is a few diced bits of tomato, rather than a reduced sauce). But yeah in general where a tomato sauce is required, tinned are excellent.

How many years did you eat shite takeaway food for before realising this?

Is this contravesial?

 

[Orang Utan]

it is if you want to drink a cup of tea before you go to bed

I don't. too tight/skint to eat it much at all. still have fish n chips from time to time, but that's generally it

Lard on bread with raw onions = win
