Title: New sub-board or whatever they're called?
Post by: Chavster on October 19, 2011, 06:26:46 AM
There seem to be a lot of boards that dont get a lot of use...like 'how to be successful' etc. Wouldnt it be a good idea to have a 'food board', seeing as we're always talking about food? :)

My local supermarket has started to sell Pop Tarts :o

Yet another example of the rampant symptoms of decay of the British Empire.  Are they serving them with tea?

Pop Tarts and Earl Grey. Sounds like a winner.

They have them in the biscuit (cookie) aisle. They only have the chocolate variety unfortunately :(

Have you ever seen/eaten the things they have the audacity to call scones here in the USA?

I bake my own, in the English fashion when I have afternoon teas.

Yeah and they're nothing like scones at all. Eww. They're easy enough to make so I dont blame you for avoiding the American things.

BTW You've got (snail) mail, or at least you will have in a few days time.

What you call a cookie, we call a biscuit.

What you call a biscuit, we dont have at all. A scone would be the most similar thing, but a scone is sweet (and usually contains sultanas), whereas an American biscuit is savoury (and usually disgusting).

Biscuits and gravy. Eww.

Come to think of it, they're not really similar at all, although they look kinda similar.

An American biscuit is like a bread, whereas a scone is more like a cake. One is savoury, one is sweet. One is eaten with gravy (eww), the other is eaten with clotted cream and jam.

Most of the time not eaten with gravy and in America clotted cream (ewww) would be thrown in the garbage.

How about fresh fruits and vegetables?  >:D
Nuts and seeds anyone?  >:D

I enjoy cookies, but only homemade....with no sugar. 
Bananas add enough sweetness.

Who by? All 360,000,000 Americans, or just the ones who dont know any better?

Anyway Tom, you spent time in the UK. I'm sure you didnt spend your entire time getting your library card punched. I'm sure you must have spent many a pleasant hour, sitting somewhere hip and groovy, dressed in your plaid trousers, London Fog raincoat and USS Arkansas baseball cap, eating a cream tea.

Judging by your picture, you might want to re-think the sugar thing. You look like a brisk wind would snap you in half :o

Dont re-think if you're diabetic though. Only re-think if you're too skinny ;)

Good stuff especially with grits but I guess you have to be American to appreciate it.

Sausage gravy on biscuits? Bring it on!  :@`

I googled clotted cream, and it looks like someone mixed butter and cream cheese together. How bad can it be?  ;)

It is kind of buttery/cream cheesey :) its just a very thick cream.

A cream tea is: sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, jam, and tea :) its a meal, like breakfast or dinner, and it's usually eaten at around 4pm.

I can hurt myself on sausage gravy and biscuit...How's the mystery of the, "Meat Pie" going, Chav?

"Clotted cream" just has a bad name. If it were named "Extra thick cream" (which is pretty much what it is) no one would bat an eye.

And, it's delicious!

I kinda like Pop Tarts - strawberry unfrosted to be exact.  I don't know if it's still the case, but the primary ingredient in the filling of "strawberry" Pop Tarts was apples!  I think a strawberry may have been in the general vicinity when Kelloggs was manufacturing strawberry Pop Tarts.

That's funny. My granddaughter has a chocolate frosted one every once in a while. They are the only ones that she likes.
