    Yes, Billy, I need to try to get back there and most likely today. The person in front of me at checkout had half a dozen bottles and the person behind me in line asked the clerk if she could run back to get a couple of bottles when she saw that person and me both with that scotch. Even the clerk knew what a deal it was on that bottle. They may already be out of stock on it at the store I was at--there were only about 10 or so bottles left when I was there. But there's another Costco across town and nearer to where I work. Perhaps I can pop over there during a break this afternoon.

    I definitely agree. Well, except maybe for the part about Nigella Lawson's lady bits. And I don't know what a bacon sarnie is. But anything with bacon has to be good.

    David, that photo of the wine with the lights twinkling away in the background is beautiful! :grinning: The wine could taste like shite and the photo itself would more than make up for it. :)

    I’ve worked in health care to know that sometimes the well presented can have unkempt no-go areas, which if the body was represented by the Hunt-Lenox globe, would be decorated by the words "HC SVNT DRACONES"!

    I’m sure Nigela has a perfectly serviceable reproduction unit, however I’m certain I don’t want “essence of...” inserting into my expensive beverage.

    I do however think that relative rarity can reasonably raise prices. What if a case of roman mead was perfectly preserved in a glacier (from some adventurous explority mission) ... that’s have to be worth a few quid

    From what I hear Nigellas bits and a bacon sarnie are one of the same

    Surely not a bacon sandwich but a tuna one?

    Writing this in retrospect but works Christmas Ball last night so in no particular order:
    Champagne
    Red wine (Malbec)
    HPA
    Jagerbombs
    Old Fashioned
    Some random Sloe Gin based cocktail
    G&T's
    and some other things I don't remember and couldn't work out. :imp::imp:
    Home by 5 this morning and currently suffering on the sofa having just eaten 2 bacon butties :cold_sweat::cold_sweat:

    Ok, chari1, I'm trying to get some of these UK foods straight in my mind. So...a bacon sarni and a bacon butty are the same thing? I was involved in a very long series of posts awhile back regarding the qualities and virtues of the bacon butty (including sauce) but thought that a sarni was something else. Sooo complicated. :rolleyes:
