Popular Post beau thai Posted March 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yes I realise that shopping/eating posts can be boring, and this one is for the Brits. Walked back to Airport Plaza where I left my car yesterday while getting my 1 year extension at Immigration (YES!!!), and headed into Tops for a little shopping. At last, Branston Pickle is on offer- so now only 4-5 times as much as in the UK. Just had to get some. So talk about deep joy and life's simple pleasures. Lunch today was a Ploughmans: French stick, real butter, cheddar cheese- and Branston. And very cold Chang Fond memories of all the lunches in all the pubs in all the towns, but I swear a Ploughman's never tasted this good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau thai Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I was waiting for someone to pick me up on the French stick!. Actually pretty common in pubs last time I was in Uk- maybe they try to be gastro pubs with their fancy ploughmans??. Not too sure about the London Pride either. I have heard northern lads describe that as like making love in a punt... You know the next line . Edited March 11, 2015 by beau thai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXBKKMAN Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Never been a better time for Brits to have ploughmans. Eat one now it comes with a pea souper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginkas Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Branston Pickle has been available at Rimping, for at least 4 years. More like 10+ years! When I first saw it was overjoyed - Cheese (Vintage Cheddar, of course) and Branston Pickle sandwiches, bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktooth Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Pork Pie. Maybe even a boiled egg.. And as stated above.. cloudy cider.. Oh ar my lovelies.. I trust this boiled egg you are referring to would have been pickled in vinegar for at least ten years before consumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah, I know Rimping have had Branston for years but soo expensive. My point was (partly) that it is on offer for a short while. that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
