What you drinking tonight?

"unkempt no-go areas"

Love that one, @DCS222

 

While round my neck of the woods we have muffins(a round risen bread about one inch thick), an oven bottom muffin (much thinner), a teacake (softer than a muffin), all are about six inches in diameter. We also have current teacakes which are toasted and buttered when still hot. Muffins are not to be confused with sweet cakes which we call BUNS and MUFFIN is nothing sexual at all.

 

Bread cakes!
Don't forget bread cakes. Just the same as bread buns etc. Only the name has been changed to protect the innocent.
Bread can be used, as has already been stated herein, to soak up alcohol in the body (aided and abetted by fried products - bacon, sausage, chips etc), so no thread derailment here! But don't dunk it in your beer. It's not like it's a biscuit being introduced to a mug of tea or coffee. No Siree!! Totally different concept!
Ooh!! I mentioned CAKES again.

 

They are sometimes available at local bakers but are know as "flat caps".

 

Oven bottom cakes is how they were known in Leeds.

 

What were those garlicky crispy round snacky things you had ? They were very tasty and I'd like to get a stock next time I go to France. Where do you get them from ?

 

A cheeky little Tesco Malbec which matches my Tinder Red T120

 

Hi mate, I'm guessing you're talking about Croûtons saveur Ail. Garlic flavoured croutons, just finished a packet !!!

Get them from Aldi in a strip of 4 packs, cost about 1.20€ per strip.

Cheers

Like I always say, DCS, you have to spend money to save money.

 

Always good to match one's wine with one's motorcycle, Wishbone. But I have an orange bike, a black bike, and a white bike so I'm not quite sure what to drink.

 

And your daughter still married him in spite of the mayo, Chiari1?!

 

Wow, do you all have so many different names for the same things for other stuff, too?? I loved the article. And from the looks of it your wife is definitely in the "cob" minority at 8%. Here in the U.S. a "cob" is a cob of corn--that part of the ear of corn which holds the kernels.

At any rate, whatever you call it the roll/cob/bun/etc., it seems that the the primary purpose is to be a bacon and sauce delivery device. Thanks for the lesson. Yep, I learn something new every day on this forum.

 

Maybe a motorcycle??

 

Thanks for the UK sandwich lesson, Cyborgbot. But...yikes! I had no idea. We have lots of sandwiches in the U.S. but it doesn't seem like there are so many ingredients, combinations, names, and nuances. But then, I guess when it rains so much one must do something to occupy oneself and pass the time. Sandwich inventions! Brilliant.

 

Not quite this simple but here are the foundational breads in my corner of the world.

CAKE



BREAD



MUFFIN

 

Uh oh, I'm guessing I might be that "certain female colonial", DD. And, yes, it would appear I've derailed the booze thread for the time being. It seems like when I derail a thread it somehow always revolves around food. Well, a food-oriented conversation on a drinking thread is at least still on the "food and beverage" topic. I just find the foods--and names of foods--that come up on this forum so fascinating!

In the interest of getting the "What You Drinking Tonight?" thread back on track, here's what I'm drinking tonight. I bought a bottle of The Dubliner and just cracked it open this evening. Delicious! Thanks for the recommendation. I've yet to get the white label Bushmill's but soon, very soon.
