Off Topic The very silly thread...

I drink most spirits straight or with ice, except Gin. Gin I always have with tonic.

Eggs I have sunny side Up, sometimes with chilli powder.

Gutted about Stuart Elliott

Try your Gin with a tiny tiny drop of Noilly Prat. Ideally freeze the Gin (or Vodka) if not then stir over ice to chill then decant into a nice big Martini glass. Drop in a couple of olives and if your feeling a bit louche a few lemon peel shavings.

Your tonic can now get to **** and you my friend can do bad impressions of your fav Mr Bond.

Me and Askew we’re doing Grey Goose and Noilly Prat (tiniest hint of it) t’other night . Stirred in a mixer with ice then drained into martini glasses which had been chilled by being filled with ice before
Olives (pimento stuffed)

We both ended up like Bond (although the bit at the start of a recent film where he was living on a island permanently **** faced)

You should write a cookery book!

Vodka won't freeze

 

[Kempton]

Dunno
Ido know that fresh chilli sliced into scrambled egg is what you need

Yes that is very good, maybe with some smoked Salmon Pate.

 

[Stockholm Tiger]

No but if you keep trying you can make it really ****ing cold and negate the need for traitorous dilutey ice cubes.

(Most will get a bit "slushy" so be careful of of brain freeze at -32 lol)

Oooohhh yes...or just smoked salmon slices

That's why when i lived in Romania it was used as a winter screen wash.

Had a Salmon starter in some posh gaff in in York once. Five different ways of eating Salmon on one plate, topped off with a pickled Chilli. Salmon heaven...

I never drink at home so very rarely get chance to "enjoy" a drink.

I'm dark spirit kinda of person. Probably the best rum I've had is Kracken and the best whiskey is either Glenmorangie or Jura.

When I'm out I drink Strongbow or Morgan's or JD and coke.

Gin is a strange drink to me as it makes me very emotionally so don't touch the stuff.
Stiff uper lip and all that.

Kracken is a good rum but the best one is Pusser's. Harder to come across though. I am happy enough my local has started selling Kracken.Those two aren't whiskey they are whisky. Brady would have a meltdown if he saw that. As I said in another post I like Bushmills whiskey. Bushmills is the oldest distillery in the world. Like everything else Scottish, whisky which originated in Ireland as whiskey, kilts and bagpipes started off somewhere else.

I'm convinced you said Gavin Bruce and Nelly Pratt, presumably Hull FC's latest superstars? Beautiful drink though Den

Strange. Gin is supposed to make you maudlin. But whisky has that effect on me. Gin brings a feeling of all is right with the world. After enough of course.

I never remember which one is whisky and which one is whiskey

I’m sure I’ve seen Pussers in supermarkets round here recently
I noticed it specifically because it used to be rare

I’m not much of a rum person though...apart from 7 year old Havana Club which is a different type of rum altogether...and is superb

Yes, there are the odd place around nowadays selling Pussers. My dad always got some, you could only get it through the ex naval association, as it was the tot issued when he was in the navy in the war. He had never drunk before as he was 17 when he joined up. Had never smoked either. But like a lot of others wasn't going to forgo a freebie as soon as he turned 18. He made up for lost time later in life, a family trait on the male side. I was in Somerset last year and a woman had a stall with the best selection of spirits I have seen. She had an original bottle of Pussers and had turned down iffers of about £1500 for it. They stopped the daily ration in 1970. Someone bought up the remaining stock, bottled it and sold it off. In 1979 someone bought the rights to the original recipe and started manufacturing Pussers. The nearest to the original is Pussers Gunpowder apparently. Though to me they are all good. Best selection .I have seen was at, unsurprisingly, the Naval Dockyards in Portsmouth.

I'd have no hesitation in fondling Nigella's baps.

Why would you wish to caress Nigella's bread cakes?
