If you’re putting gravy on it, it’s probably not a biscuit. It’s also probably not gravy. Gravy goes on your roast dinner. Biscuits go in your tea. As suggested above, digestives are good. Bourbons are also good, but this is not whiskey. It is biscuit. Trust the English people - we English better than non-english English.

Bandi brilliance resumes!

I thought the Bourbons were a French royal house and therefore hated by the Brits.

 

[A Slightly New Used Server]

You all must prefer the American Bourbons over the French ones.

 

[Crystal]

Yum

Do this to your bourbons.

Nah, I'm good with my bourbons as bourbons without added bourbon

Brit confirmed. Doesn't want too many Bourbons around mixing things up.

Gravy also goes on chips, I want that noted for the record

Absolutely. Gravy and chips is a meal of the gods. With mushy peas.

 

[Tubby23]

Oh no, you've ruined it now

Yes!

Can I just ask about this mushy peas thing? Like.. do you just overcook them and mush them? How does this work?

 

[Mark]

Probably prepared liked 95% of British cuisine. Pretend like the Germans are flying overhead while you bring the water to a boil, throw the peas in the water for flavor, and then fucking forget about them like your tax-evading uncle you put on a boat and sent to live with Aboriginal people. After they’ve sat for a month, slap a silly sounding name on it like “pishy-posh peas of his highness of Cambridge” and you’re done. @Tubby23 doesn’t like mushy peas because it reminds him of prison food on a genetic level.

Incredibly accurate. Not sure why the fuck Brits obliterate peas

...at least you're not asking about the jellied eels.

We don't need cheese curds with ours, or a Frenchified name

Like everything else, the French gave up that name. Canada made it great. Brits are just mad Canada ended up being cooler.

Canada is too close to the US to be considered "cool"

lol, Canada wishes. Canada took cool and overshot it by about 6,000%. Now they just have snow.

Well we owned them, so by extension point to Britain.

Mushy peas fall into the same category as baked beans, for me. Honestly they're even worse.

Gravy is honestly fine on chips, but I'd say it's an uncommon selection only because salt and vinegar feels like such a true pairing. Though once upon a time a girlfriend found some kind of curry Bisto!, and it was amazing on chips.

But poutine is banging. There's a place in Portland, Maine that cooks everything with duck fat (restaurant is called Duckfat), and they have unbelievably good poutine. Ugh, now I need a work-reason to go back to HQ so I can hit that up.

This is very true, nothing like chip shop chips drenched in vinegar!

Though once upon a time a girlfriend found some kind of curry Bisto!, and it was amazing on chips.

That sounds tasty!

 

[Ben]

This also seems like a good place to mention I accidentally had 2 Cadbury Heroes advent calendars ordered for me and it's the best mistake I could ask for. I mean, two Wispa today?

Too bad there's crap like Dinky Deckers in here... Oh well.

There's the full location and then the smaller one that's by the cidery, meadery, and brewery in the little alleyway right?

I can't have the stuff there because of cross contamination with gluten, but my wife has had it while I've stuck to cider.

The Citizen Cider cider hall makes awesome poutine as well, that's over in Burlington VT.

Ok Wispa and Dinky Deckers sound like made up candy names and I'm dying! idk why it's so funny. Same with Fiddle Faddle. Didn't realize that was a real thing

I don't want to kill you, but I shall do what I must.







Also seems like a fine time to point out how wild chocolate advertising in the UK was in the 90s/00s.

I don't think I even knew there was a second smaller location, but you're right. The smaller one is on Washington Ave and next to all the brewery stuff. The main one is on Middle St. My company HQ is the orange X I threw on the map, so... Very convenient for lunch. Too bad I've only been back to the office twice in the past 3 years.

 

[Crystal]

Never did understand the Yorkie branding

 

[Kat]

Dinky deckers?! How is that a real name for candy?! Holy shit that's hilarious.

It's the name for the miniature version of the Double Decker, and I agree, it's pure amazing

Freddo is technically Australian invented.

Curly Curly, Freddos and Caramello Koalas are Cadbury's three best products

 

[Ben]

Freddo is technically Australian invented.

This must certainly be a falsehood, as the frogs aren't poisonous. Clearly not from Aus.

 

[Crystal]

A quickipedia confirms this to be fact. This is an outrage!

 

[Tubby23]

Yep, I've always had to correct Poms when I meet them out here who are surprised we have Freddos.

I shall hereby petition that they be renamed Fredericks and redecorated with top hats and monocles at once.

Interestingly the Australian Cadbury factory produces more chocolate than all their other factories world wide.
