    People who don't like alcohol are just not trying hard enough.

    I like a bit of alcohol in a coffee, usually amoretto.
    Used to drink carajillos in the morning when I lived in spain, good perk-up.

    Champagne is ok if you pop a small amount of sugar in it.

    Caviar is nice. Especially the proper stuff.

    Oysters are definitely over rated. Vile things. Though I’ve never tried cooked oysters.

    Manuka honey. Just tastes like honey.

    Guiness. Definitely over rated.

    Speciality flavoured gin. Seems to be the new thing created in hipsters cellars.

    Craft beer.

    Lobster

    I love both of these.

    Saying that though the lobsters I have were in Saudi and it was just the tail and they were huge, filled the plate.

    Guiness is completely different in Ireland. No it's not it's pretty much the same and very overrated.

    I ****ing hate craft beer. Overly hoppy flowery ****e.

    Lobster is nice don’t get wrong. But if served a whole lobastwr it’s a bloody nightmare to eat and crack and most of it goes to waste. I also didn’t think it tasted much different to big prawns. I’d rather eat crab.

    Craft beers are fine, just avoid the IPA's if you don't like the teeth sticking hoppy stuff.

    American craft lagers and ales are superb. British not so much.

    Wouldn’t want it in its shell though.

    I hate prawns when you have to peel the ****ers. As for the ****ers the suck the brains out a prawn they are just mental.

    Sort of agree, you have to find the right beer I don't like them all. I can't be bothered with lobster in this country too small.

    I’ve tried some. Don’t like any of it. Find the American ones weird and fruity undertones to it.

    Never had prepared lobster. Would imagine it’s nice. Not suggesting it isn’t but it is overrated. I don’t see it as a delicacy.

    That's what I can't be bothered with because I've been spoiled with lobster tails bigger than that and they were free.

    Boston and Brooklyn lagers are really good. I've not gone beyond that really as I know how good they are. It's European all the way beyond that.

    Well, Moretti, Mahou or Estrella anyway.

    Give Pistonheads orange can a go, that's a really good beer (Swedish).

    Sainsburys do Anchor California Lager well worth a trip to get it one of the best beers I've ever had, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale also great and Lagunita...I'll stop now. <laugh>

    I’ve tried Brooklyn lager and thought it was vile.

    I’d take Heineken and morretti over it.
