    Do we like sodie pop? What do you like and what do you call it?

    Luncheon is a made up word, I can't remember the exact details but some posh ladies printing up some menus thought "lunch" sounded common so extended it, a similar thing caused Sparrow Grass to become Asparagus. The original word is lunch, meaning lump (of bread, of meat, etc).

    Martini Protocol

    Load the metal shaker with ice, splash of dry vermouth, and pour it off. 3 measures of gin. I like Bombay Sapphire (Or even Gordons) and shake until the metal is too cold to hold. I like the cloudiness the shaker gives. Pour into a frozen martini glass and loads of olives. I love the little...

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    For some reason whisky does not agree with me. But I like a nice cognac, Remy Martin VSOP, Hennessy VSOP & Camus XO are faves.

    MEAT in the Golden Era

    Looks a similar in idea to haggis. Probably quite good then. :)

    MEAT in the Golden Era

    I've had little sweet soy glazed baby octopi very tasty. Sea cucumber is an aquired taste, though as it's one of the most abundant organisms in the sea we should start thinking about it, easily digested, it has a texture a bit like firm jello. I saw a Japanese food programme once where the...

    MEAT in the Golden Era

    MEAT in the Golden Era

    Actually spam coated in beaten egg and pan fried is pretty good. Did you know there is a fast food chain in the Phillipines that specialises in Spam. Common guys it's only chopped up tinned bacon! Mysterygirl, don't do the fried chicken in olive oil it has a too low smoking point, produces...

    Jerky and Pullup?

    Thanks for all your answers folks, I'd got the "Pull" and "Jerk" mixed together in my mind and you put me right. I knew this was the right place to ask. :)

    Jerky and Pullup?

    Hello folks, a question for you leather enthusiasts out there: Is Jerky leather the same as Pull Up? Ss it from any particular animal or is it just the finishing method? Is it good or bad tho get a jacket made of either? I want the jacket to age nicely and quickly. Thanks, Kt.

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    There seems to be an story missing from the Ecclestone era. Because of the need to jump straight into the story we don't get the regeneration from the 8th to the ninth Doctor and all the "growing pains" that comes with it. I started watching for real with the Davidson episodes and his...

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    They do explain the fate of Gallifrey, Time War. There are some ups and downs, but the series is worth keeping up with. There are also a couple of multipart episodes. Seeing the budget restraints they have to cope with it is a great achievement. They fly a spaceship through Big Ben in one ep...

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    In retrospect, although Eccleston did a fine job, he always seemd to be a little unconfortable in the role. He has some great moments but you occasion get the sense that he isn't too sure why he's there. It's early days with No. 10 but he seems instantly more at home. The Xmas special is...

    Katt, do either of those have the makers label inside? Any chance of a pic when you get them? Kt.

    Enjoying a cup of tea

    I agree, there is a theory that you don't scorch the milk if you add the tea to it rather than add the milk to the tea. I don't know how scientific that is. I believe the tea tastes different, better. If you leave it to go cold you don't get a skin on top, so the milk is definately reacting...

    Yup, those are the one's I was talking about. :)

    Enjoying a cup of tea

    Yes, but only Indian teas (and only some of them) are designed for milk, if used I prefer semi -skimmed milk (2%?). Chinese/Japanese teas are not. It makes sense as many Oriental people are lactose intolerant and milk was for many years not part of the diet. I can't take the greasyness of full...

    Enjoying a cup of tea

    THE best cup of (English/Indian) tea I ever had was in a mug in a pie and mash shop. It's brewed in one of those huge aluminum teapots with an industrial sized teabag I think they put the milk in too. The water must be hot to make good tea they use one of those standing urns it is as close to on...

    Olympic Hats

    There were a surprisingly large number of felt hats, mostly with short crowns. So many that I thought it was a IOC approved style or something. Much better than baseball caps.
