    I wouldn't know, but here's an excerpt from a book:

    Similarly, chocolate based sandwich spreads, a staple in the middle European countries, have been shown to be favoured by those with an underdeveloped palate and possibly – at least according to behavioural psychologist Maureen Lewenstein (and rather too cruelly in my estimation) – a yearning for mother’s breast.

    The sweetening mush of a chocolate sandwich may certainly be considered redolent of our most comforting baby foods – and, as was shown with the scent of vanilla, it may transport us to a sense of childlike safety - but there seems little to suggest that a(n unthinking) love of such comforts is indicative of any specific ******ation in emotional or intelligence-led development.


    Dr Kirvan Lonsdale: What our food says about us (pp 42-43)


    I think the jury's maybe still out, Leon.

    There is no irony at all. chico is a massive knobhead, but that isn't ironic in the slightest. I find it more odd that he supports the regional representative side tbh.

    Hate the English national team and the media circus that surrounds them during every tournament that's all. Let's get that straight right off the bat

    Ah. My mistake, sorry. I thought this was the &#8220;Totally Invent a Book and Boffin&#8221; thread. That&#8217;s probably down the hall.

    Irish should support their own ****ing teams. A view shared by most proper fans in Ireland.

    Now that is ironic.

    They do... in Gaelic Games i.e. 90,000 at an all ireland final and this is amateur sport we are talking about<ok>

    However, irish kids are starting to move away from GAA more and more because of the Sky League <ok>

    I will never move away from GAA. I am from Tyrone and I support my county and my club Fintona through thick and thin.

    nearer 80k.

    The GAA is doing very well compared to football & rugby. not so great against immigration though.

    Nutella is yummy with bananas.
    Peanut butter is also yummy with bananas, but add salad cream to make it extra special.
    Marmalade however, is best left to it's own devices.
