Bovril....

[ChicagoToffee]

Says the home of Supersize supersizes. Burgers and fries, with a side order of burgers and fries. true your cuisine rocks. (couldn't resist, sorry mate)


Bovril. Oh yeah, and dip very hot buttered toast into it, after lacing it with black pepper.

No apologies - we're the fattest country on the face of the Earth.

To get us even fatter, the fast-fooders now have "Dollar Menus" - you can get a double cheeseburger for $1. The food that is the worst for you is amazingly the cheapest. Wonder why Americans are fat?

I'll leave the Bovril to the true epicureans.

Any other odd British foods I need to be aware of so I can then smash them with distaste founded largely on ignorance?

Black pudding. But its superb.

Talk to the barkeeps over here - the Guiness usually comes out slightly chilled but usually a little too warm for me.

How dare you..........................Guiness is nectar, pure nectar at any temperature.......its too good for you lot thats for sure

Guinness isn't a million miles away from Bovril for me, a mix of that and cold coffee.

It's certainly an over rated and mass produced sub-standard stout. You can't even get it from the cask anywhere, shocking.

And they bleach the head to make it extra white (I have no proof of this obv, but a 'real' cask stout's head looks yellow juxtaposed with it).

South Pacific islands are the fattest, they leave the USA in 9th in the fatty stakes.

Why are they so fat down under?

Seek and you will find, or go to Ireland and have a real drink

You can't even get a cask guinness in Ireland. It's all bottles or smooth flow. Shocking.

I presume you mean other quality stouts. I bet there's loads of crackers. I've only got the cask ale bug in the past couple of years. Now I'm only a beard away from taking a notepad into the boozer.

Years ago I went to a pub in Southend, we were given a menu for the beers, I enjoyed a Russian stout that was like bottled liquorice

I've enjoyed my share of stout russians in my time.

Those sailors have boundless energy.

I had a toffee stout recently. Was quite nice, but a pint was more than enough.

If I ever get my mouth near a stout I tell people its a low cal stout..........................being diabetic the wife goes ape [Poor language removed] and I smile

bovril as a drink - no no no

toast with bovril and cheese - big yes


do the toast on 1 side , then mix a little butter and bovril together and spread it on the other side, top with cheese +dash of worcester sauce , then toast.

sounds nasty but is strangely quite nice.
its seems to be a good 'morning after' food for those with hangovers.

Sounds worse than drinking it - at least the water dilutes it some. I agree - sounds nasty.

White pudding.

Black Pudding is heaven sent, White pudding?

Wrong, on too many levels, screw ignorance. Take this as fact. It is wrong. Also, it looks like the dog turds you only found when you were a kid, and they exploded into a white puff of dust when you kicked them.
