bah! you do seem to have some sort of delay going on

speaking of delay, i REALLY need to quit procrastinating.

:unsure:

Or we'll start calling you Tom...

WHAAAAA?
We kicked the Monstar out because she failed a Britshishnesses test by not liking Branston.

Branston Pickle is best eaten on Jacobs Cream Crackers, with what I think you call a sharp cheddar. I have no idea whether you have proper crackers (Southerner comments please desist) but I have no faith in Monstarry to translate as she is obviously anti-pickle and therefore suspect.

Branston is also served with cold meats, as part of a plated meal. Each meat does have its own condiment, but served cold it's more fluid (not literally) and the pickle is there to accompany the cheese anyway.

So you'll have a serving of sliced ham, beef, chicken etc and many people will put pickle on the side as opposed to mustard, horseradish et al.

Things to avoid?
Liquorice Allsorts
Loose Women (TV show, not generally)
Prawn Cocktail, Smokey Bacon and Cheese & Onion Crisps
Pork Pies
Scotch Eggs

And anything with fennel.
Not that this is a list of personal abhorrence or anything...

Devon Clotted Cream, footer... use it like a butter-ish spread if you want clogged arteries

Liquorice allsorts are yummy.

Since when did anything british ever have fennel in it? Scotch Eggs, couldn't agree more. Ditto pork pies.

Avoid hobnobs -especially ones with creamy gloop in them, but all other biscuits should be sampled.

I had to look up 'broil'. I always assumed it was in some way related to boiling...

How about broasting?

We have HobNobs that are like a sweet oatmeal shortbread-ish cookie. I like them. Never saw any other type of hobnob with goop.

it's grill to you!

grill here means BBQ

I can't stand broasting. Walkin' around, toutin' all your accomplishments. hmmph, pretty self-centered, don't you think? :angel:

not if you're practically perfect in every way....

God Monster, I can't believe you'd be such a bitch!
