they're different, tegelu for tablet = టాబ్లెట్

tablet looks like some toothsome if hazardous cross between jaggery and kendal mint cake (which i like)
― imago, Friday, 1 September 2017 12:24 (seven years ago) link
tiffin (scottish version) is amazing though, especially homemade, and you should all be eating more of it

wah wah my knife oh noesclotted cream atop jam is a far superior taste and textural experience. I will not let this go.

there it is
the good opinion

tablet is just crumbly fudge y?
― a hulking and impenetrable dump (Noodle Vague), Friday, 1 September 2017 13:58 (seven years ago) link
yeah, kind of a grainy, brittle fudge - condensed milk, regular milk, butter, and a catastrophic, heart-stopping amount of sugar
― pizzarro gizzarda (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 1 September 2017 14:02 (seven years ago) link
the appropriate amount of crumbliness in fudge is a hotly-contested issue tho
― pizzarro gizzarda (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 1 September 2017 14:06 (seven years ago) link
er, tablet rather
it's generally not as teeth-breakingly mineral-form as kendal mintcake IME
also lacks mint, to the return to the true subject of this thread
― mark s, Friday, 1 September 2017 14:11 (seven years ago) link
and of course it's all the better for it

Kendall mint cake would literally be the last thing I ate unless I thought I was about to die
new thoughts on the failure of scott's expedition to the pole
― mark s, Friday, 1 September 2017 14:16 (seven years ago) link
let's face it, if your next supply dump contained 3 stone of Kendall mint cake and a few Husky steaks you wouldn't rush back to it
― a hulking and impenetrable dump (Noodle Vague), Friday, 1 September 2017 14:18 (seven years ago) link
pony not husky -- the norwegians ate their dogs and triumphed -- but yr point perhaps stands (except in france)
― mark s, Friday, 1 September 2017 14:20 (seven years ago) link
supply dump
aptly-named in that case for sure
― pizzarro gizzarda (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 1 September 2017 14:21 (seven years ago) link
anyway since the Great Horsemeat Scandal of '13 we're all pony-eaters now
― pizzarro gizzarda (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 1 September 2017 14:22 (seven years ago) link
pony steaks makes all the difference, I think we can definitely narrow it down to the mint cake

had an excellent pasta with lemon and mint yesterday btw

i am pro mint but the joke was necessary there

I actually tried the jam/cream experiment (using scones) a few weeks ago in a posh tea room and it does taste much better with the cream on first.

Also if haggis is in here then cranachan deserves its place as well. As does Eton mess which is far too Tory for Orwell but no one ever claimed Tories don't have some of the best food.

I am allergic to mint, and it is *really* annoying. The artificial flavouring (eg in mint choc chip ice-cream) is no problem, but my toothpaste and lebanese food choices are quite restricted.

Alex James claims all the worlds best food comes from the CursedWorlds.
The last time I used mint was in a Chicken Biryani, so as well as pleasing yr dentist it is a diverse little fucker, tbf.

maybe we metropolitan poshos prefer cream first because it feels more opulent to treat cream as if it were a mere dairy spread rather than the crown jewel of the piece

i think i would have to go to whole foods to even buy clotted cream. i'm not in a hurry...

When I was a nipper there was an old fashioned dairy in Honiton which sold an ice cream cone thusly: 1. take one cone (nondescript mass-produced, the cone really is a delivery device here)2. big scoop of clotted cream ice cream, pressed down on the top to be slightly concave3. slightly smaller scoop of clotted cream on the top
Quite properly, I wasn't allowed one of these very often, but OMG it was good.

wait, do they have brown bread in a can in england? just wondering. one of the more fanciful phenomenas of my new england youth. meant to accompany your B&M baked beans and cut up hot dogs obviously.

Even out here in the Real Cursed World there is old diary farm up the road that sells its ice own posh cream. I can't stand the fucking place tbh. But they do have some cute goats you can pet.

i wouldn't eat beans on soreen tho
i mean i probably would, but i wouldn't go out of my way to prepare it
probably

I can remember seeing instant croissant mix in a collapsible tin once. But nothing like that.

you know what might be pretty good is a bacon/soreen sandwich now that i think about it xp
― pizzarro gizzarda (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 1 September 2017 15:28 (seven years ago) link
it just tastes brown. which is why people cover it with baked beans. you would never eat it unless you grew up eating it. i can't say that i've eaten it much. my mom liked to bake.
