A Drink with Jam and Bread
posted by clake at 11:40 AM
I finally received a recent free shipping coupon from the English Tea Store (coupon code: Fall07, if you're interested), which means I'll be getting my grimy mits on some loose leaf Lapsang Souchong. My order includes:- Lapsang Souchong China black tea loose leaf 4oz (Pictured right - Smokey!)
- Scottish Breakfast tea loose leaf 4oz (Sounds fun - described as "malty" and "robust")
And then, to get the order up to the $10 required for free shipping, I decided to experiment with a selection of various, British, flavored crisps:
- Walker's Steak & Onion Potato Crisps (As vegetarian as McDonald's fries)
- Walker's Roast Chicken Potato Crisps (Can't be any weirder than Chicken in a Biscuit, from right here in the U.S.A.)
- Walker's Monster Munch Pickled Onion Potato Crisps (The item name says "potato", but the listing says "corn". Either way you look at it, it unmistakably says "pickled onion"!)
- Walker's Prawn Cocktail Potato Crisps (From Wikipedia: "Prawns are distinguished from the superficially similar shrimp by the gill structure which is branching in prawns... but is lamellar in shrimp.")
- Walker's Sensations Thai Sweet Chili Potato Crisps (Just pour on some flat lager with cigarette butts in it and you have Dave Lister's morning bowl of cereal.)
On a (tangentially) related note, my son will likely start trying out some solid foods here and there in the near future. Sweet Chili Potato Crisps are not on the menu, but I'll let you know if he wants to write an online review of "bland rice cereal sort of mushed into a generous portion of human breast milk". Little Plake is growing so much. He gives real hugs now!
