I can't go near Subway... it has this distinctive smell that makes me want to hurl.

Now pastrami and swiss on rye with mustard -I don't call that simple. that's 4 strong flavors -too many to enjoy them properly. Brits would rarely mix meat and cheese in a sandwich -at least back when I lived there eons ago. Also, American "sandwiches" have far more calories and carbs that their smaller British cousins. If you ate them as often as Brits do, you'd soon be the size of a house.

btw you who come from a country when PB&J is a staple part of the diet are in no position to criticise Brits on their love of mixing things with mayo to put in a sandwich..... ;) And what is PB if not a "paste"..... :lol: :p

Uhh. What is the puke about? Is the vomit a part of the food habit?

it's terrible. The Tories privatized the public vomitoriums, which was OK, (although it meant that the council estates got nastier), but then when Labour got back in to power, they withdrew all the tax breaks and then "regulated" the industry, which resulted in one legal vomorium per half million! There are a few illegal vomitoriums, but it's actually not technically against the law to do it in the street, so......

Some flavors, not all. Starbucks has a maple-nut scone with the maple-ness in a glaze on top. Their cinnamon scone puts the cinnamon in the scone proper. Miscellaneous berry offerings show up; usually blueberry or cranberry. Pumpkin around October. I vaguely remember an eggnog-flavored somethingorother for the winter, but I'll need another look at it to remember if it was... aw shucks, I think that was a latte. Good, though.

*eyes wide in horror* oh no. Oh no that's not how to treat a scone. They're not muffins you know.

Well, Dana, what can I say? America has always been about widening horizons, never narrowing them. If we want cinnamon scones, we're bloody well going to bake them and eat them up.

Even our national mythos features a much-repeated element of crossing the line: the frontier, the line in the sand at the Alamo, over and over, we step over.

And that's just in public. Would you like to know some of the filthy, perverted, disgusting things we do to your scones, in the privacy of sex shop video booths?
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha.:unsure:

Filthy is one of my favourite words at present.

One of my favourite words at the moment is 'wicked' but used in its proper sense.

They can do anything they want to them. Scones are ok, but not my favorite pastry.

Note: I am creating a pastry voting thread.

Scones aren't pastry!
Are they?

I've never thought of them as pastry....

Hey I just finished work in the pub (we had a band on and a late licence). What's your excuse for staying up? Shouldn't you be sleeping the sleep of the righteous?

*grins*

I should be.....I am up early to go leafleting in the morning (how the fuck did that happen? I am still on holiday til monday damnit!).

All this talk of pastries and assorted scrumptiousness is making me hungry ....hungry, I tell thee! But I have nothing in......nowt, bugger all, Sweet Fanny Adams, zilch. Bugger.

I want a 'bab.
I'll just have to wait for breakfast and have muesli. Not much compensation!
