OOoo!! Mixed tea recipe! Will definitely try that one ^_^ What are the proportions - or is it a secret? ;-)The Diabolical Biz said:Exactly!justnotcricket said:I think you can thank our friend Picard for that ;-) If he'd been mad keen on English Breakfast, it would be more popular than Earl Grey now =DThe Diabolical Biz said:Someone who understands! All I hear is Earl Grey this, PG Tips that.justnotcricket said:For a second I thought you meant the Twinings 'English Breakfast' tea ^_^ Which gets two thumbs up, in any case.
But English Breakfast is a subtle tea, a refined tea! Tea for the modern gentleman.
Mind you, I am rather partial to the Lady Grey tea Twinings make...but English breakfast is the tea I learned to drink tea on, the tea of my youth, and the perfect tea to brighten up any rainy morning...
Although my favourite is my blend of Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong, and English Breakfast, all in one pot.
Try it, it's divine.
Still have our queen on your money though, don't youSnakeoilSage said:Yup, like an English breakfast. But less greasy, less messy, more edible.Daystar Clarion said:So an English breakfast then.SnakeoilSage said:I enjoy a good Canadian breakfast - back bacon, eggs, toast, and hashbrowns.
Bloody colonials, thinking that replacing a word or two makes it their own.
*sips tea*
Yes, quite.
Bloody imperials, toss random items available to family in the northern hemisphere and thinking the result is a national symbol.
*Sips orange juice*
Eh?
that is the only way to strut!SckizoBoy said:Does there need to be?! Just struting around with a top-hat, monocle, cup of tea held with pinky outstretched and saying what-ho! not good enough for you?!?! =POmniscientOstrich said:Umm, okay...discussion value?
I currently go one teabag of each, 2 tea cosies, let it brew for a while...justnotcricket said:OOoo!! Mixed tea recipe!

At the moment I'm liking a tea I get loose from a local teashop called 'Monk Tea'. It's a bit like the 'nepal marsala' type teas you can get but it has the most wonderful perfume. It (and the name) almost make you want to drink it with yak butter, atop a mountain, ascetically ;-)
To not completely ignore the original topic while eulogising about tea: I had never had HP sauce until I went to London and it was placed on the table along with the cooked breakfast. Now I cannot live without it. It's like Vegemite, but in sauce form!! Also good: cheese, tomato and HP sauce sandwiches, or the same as a topping for toast...
I've actually had Quorn, and it tastes pretty damn good.lRookiel said:Vegetarian and proud!

YUMMY YUMMY. Eat up everyone!
We still have our queen, of course. She's the queen. But we have our own money, land, and titles. Essentially, you knighted us. I am insufferably pleased by that thought.Daystar Clarion said:Still have our queen on your money though, don't you![]()

Haggis? You definitely forgot the Haggis. A nice portion of spicy haggis for breakfast is awesome. Aside from that, I agree.Fiendish Panda said:I prefer a Scottish fry-up to be honest. Black pudding, square sausage and potato scones are a must!![]()
