Mmm Irn Bru. Like licking a fruit flavoured battery.

I never realised that was true until now. But it is true. I have found that a double shot of vodka improves a serving of Iron Bru amazingly...

I know, I get a charge from it too.

It’s soooo good. Lol.

It’s hard to find out in rural Saskatchewan. I used to get it every year at Christmas. Maybe it’s better I don’t anymore.

I love it but there are other Barr drinks I like more like Cream Soda and Red Kola. And thankfully Barr sells those as a four pack here for just £1. Awesome.

How are  you eating like a king? I thought Brexit preparations caused all British people to become cannibals, which coincidentally is my contingency plan for Trump's 2nd term.

You can get that pre-mixed. WKD Iron Brew (4.5%)

Or still, in shot form. WKD1 (15%).

Oh hell no. Brexit is still going through the divorce pro ceedings. They have a three months extension while ANOTHER election is held, the winner will revisit the Brexit deal and discussions, etc...

Many abroad dis the Torys, but Labour under Corbyn has people concerned from the U.K. to The Falkland Islands. 

Nothing has really happened at all to be honest. Just a lot of talking in parliament, protests for and against Brexit outside of parliament, loads of media coverage with some doom and gloom added for effect. The funniest is people outside the U.K. saying we will descend into chaos, everyone will flee the island, the health service and government will collapse and the U.K. will descend into a barren wasteland of death and dispare a la Purge crossed with 28 Days Later.

Hell wages, etc... are back up to. Some shops and businesses have gone under, as have many around the world. The leading cause in the U.K. seems to be people shopping online rather than shopping at bricks and mortar buildings

I’m usually more of a DIY person when it comes to spirits and mixers.

Funnily enough though...when both WKD and Irn Bru were available locally, WKD was $2.85/bottle while Irn Bru was $2.35/can...

I think i have found where I belong. All things fried and meaty call to me. I must travel to this holy land and partake of the golden flaky feast.

I like Irn Bru for refreshment, but on a day off, if it’s sunny I’ll fil a large Mason jar with tap with two litres of WKD Iron Brew and a load of ice and maybe add a little more vodka and keep topping up a small glass all day.

Well the Scots have frying everything down to a fine art, while us English don’t have ‘minimum price per unit’ on our alcohol sales.

Anywhere along this border will get you the best of both.

Deep fried pizza, Mars bar,

Deep fired ‘munchie box’ of pizza, burgers, sausages chick en nuggets and onions rings with chips.

Deep fried Scotch egg. A boiled egg, wrapped in sausage meat, then in breadcrumbs and then deep fried.

Here’s what I don’t understand:

US: ZOMG RUSSIA MIGHT HAD METTLED IN OUR ELECTION.

UK: ALL OF EUROPE IS METTLING IN OUR VOTE TO LEAVE EUROPE. IT’S T OYO TA LL Y OKAY.

I have 2 bottles of this left (here in California). You’ll notice that is probably 2 of the last bottles of Iron Bru made with 100% pure freedom loving sugar. I’m one of those people who can taste the socialism in all your freedom-hating nanny-government sugar-tax-destroyed sodas. Seriously, what in the hell did they do to soda over there? I went away for 6 months, came back, and suddenly everything tasted like cough syrup. Replacing actual sugar with Aspartame, Saccharin, Ace-K, Sucralose, Advantame, and Neotame IS NOT OKAY. There are a bunch of us on the planet with actual tastebuds*, thanks.

*The goal of artificial sweeteners is to bind to the sweet taste receptors on the tongue. However, the chemical bond for sweet is very similar to any one of the 25+ bitter receptors. For a not-insignificant amount of people (including myself), artificial sweetener has a really strange taste. Kind of like chewing on an orange peel. I’m also one of the “cilantro tastes like poison” people.

Yeah, that’s a negative on england. I have been informed that food is viewed as a form of pennance there. I can get behind any place that claims to be the ancestral home of whiskey, but warm beer and eel pie with wiggly bacon is a hard pass.

Anything that is not a flaky golden brown has not been properly cooked and is suspect.

Ye’, they’ve found that sweeteners confuse the body.

The body ta stes sugars and prepares to process sugars that aren’t there, what this does to the body over time people can only guess so far.

We can still get drinks with sugar but they cost more because of the sugar levy/sugar tax.

I can appreciate what they are trying to do, but the way it’s been done needs more thinking through.

Europe isn’t meddling in Brexit. It’s not just Britain divorcing Europe, it’s Britain divorcing 27 countries of Europe, each having their say on how it affects the block.

A Munchie Box is simply a pizza box, lined with foil or grease proof paper and filled with whatever goodness you want.

So yea, it’s called a munchie box, to cure your munchies, hunger pangs, hunger pains, etc...

Wow, that breakfast one looks bangin’. Haggis, black pudding, a potato scones has been itching for a bite.

It’s hit or miss. I’ve had some outstanding food in Glasgow and Edinburgh (and at prices that would make most Californians denounce their citizenship). I’m not a drinker, but most of Scotland has come around to beer served cold - except out of a keg. Ward keg’d beer is still referred to as ‘the right way’.

Some of the best meals that I’ve ever had have been in Glasgow. There’s a Polish restaurant there (U Jarka) that does some of the best home cooking I’ve ever had. Highland stag venison is also really good. I had a venison burger topped with haggis and british cheddar that I’ll never forget. Steak ale pie is wonderful. There’s also a good amount of high end stuff (Raclette restaurants, fancy brunch, etc). The only things you can’t really get are Korean and Mexican. Mexican food is LOL.

Yep, fried bread, potato scones, scrambled eggs, sausag es, lorne/square sausage, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, haggis and black pudding.

Bang tasty.
