Yep, I'm the same, drink my coffee black with nothing and rarely eat chocolate, the damage was already done though. I remember when my sister was born the tea my dad gave me was mashed banana with sugar and evaporated milk. The delights of the mid 70s
Whatever...
I saw an American on YouTube try some. He also said it tasted like dish soap, so it's not just me. Obviously an acquired taste.
What the fuck were you doing drinking tea at 10? Should be drinking fizzy pop and orange squash at that age
Bergamot is pretty marmite in my experience. Most of my tea drinking regulars had very strong feelings about Earl Grey, either very good or very bad.
If you don't loke something that's fine. Just say you don't like it. It's making up the other stuff to try and justify why you dislike it is OTT shit.
What am I making up? I said what I thought about the taste.
What you thought? So you've actually drank washing up liquid?
Obviously not, but smell is a very key component in taste. If something smells similar to a taste then you say it tastes like it.
As a kid at primary school in the 80s there was a concern that the e-numbers in the lunchtime squash was causing us to be unfocused in the afternoon.What the fuck were you doing drinking tea at 10? Should be drinking fizzy pop and orange squash at that age
I did drink those too but we always had tea as a family. It's probably one of the reasons why I've never had any issues with my teeth, never had a filling.What the fuck were you doing drinking tea at 10? Should be drinking fizzy pop and orange squash at that age
Yep, we always had tea as a family. The same with my kids.
How the fuck does that work then?
The water boils?
As Leeds says, the water will boil and combined with the gasses from the coffee will rapidly expand. You brew by waiting for the slurry to expand to the top of the ladle, pull it out of the sand until the heat dissipates and the slurry settles. Repeat as desired.
Good point, I keep forgetting most of you lot are a generation younger than me. Extra energy from e numbers were seen as a benefit in the 60s and early 70s, it meant you could get your 3 paper rounds done quicker so you could get your homework done and still get to your job chipping taters as the local chippieAs a kid at primary school in the 80s there was a concern that the e-numbers in the lunchtime squash was causing us to be unfocused in the afternoon.
So they replaced the squash with... tea and coffee (which we loaded up with sugar)
Everyone I know did.
