How true. It should be soup in a basket.

You are absolutely right!

For me this is significantly more acceptable. But actually one should honor all food

F***ing grow up!

That reminds me of a trip to Brittany years ago. Staying in a campsite run by a farmer. Great site but......he was selling “cider” made on his farm. Now....I like cider. I have drunk scrumpy. I have drunk dubious real ales. I have drunk “concoctions” as forfeits on rugby tours.
Out of fostering good Welsh/Breton relations I ordered a glass of his special brew. A half pint. A totally opaque liquid in it more like soup than cider. So, like a bush tucker trial I drank some. Hmmmmm a distinctly unique nose, taste that didn’t roll over the tongue, almost breathtaking in effect. I have a strong stomach but declined testing it’s limit.. As soon as an opportunity to dispose of it occurred it went into a pot plant. I had a silly grin, or was it a rictus effect? Over the next few days I monitored the plant. No ill effects. Maybe it was artificial?
What did surprise me though was his cheap red wine. Very cheap at less than £1 a bottle. I bought some to cook with. Tasted it and bought more to drink.

Reminds me of getting totally - well totalled - with my brother in law to be on the evening before his marriage to my sister. We had gone to the pub to get some beer to have with dinner but one thing led to another. Coming back into our driveway he even managed to put an interesting slant on a prunus tree. Naturally we were not very popular with my sister and my mother.

The cause of our downfall was a concoction called a "Flaming onion", why I don't know. It was a double OP rum and a Crème de Menthe.

I don't think I can recommend it but I do remember that the third one tasted a lot better than the first

Skiing without lifts
And then masks that are useless,
Restaurant without eating, granny eats alone in the kitchen at Christmas etc 🤪

Sadly it is no joke
