no sex for me. ive said it hundreds of times before, ive embraced the asexual lifestyle! besides no one in the world can pleasure me like i pleasure me.
I was perusing the aisles at my local supermarket
and there was this small section for British foods,
so I’m looking at the cans of imported teas and Pims,
and there’s this Heinz tin with the title “Spotted Dick”.
On the paper wrapping was an image of some type of sponge cake looking food.
I laughed out loud and people were looking at me funny.
I said what is this? an episode of Benny Hill?
THL- I have been hearing about these Ebinger products my entire life. All cakes, danish etc. are compared to but not equal to the mighty Ebinger’s. Back in the day they home delivered and my grandparents as well as great grandparents had an Ebinger account. They also sponsored the old Brooklyn/Queens Anniversay Day ( Brooklyn Day) parades that were very popular through the late 1950’s. In fact till this day if my sister or I comment about a good chocolate cake and that comment is within earshot of “Miss Brooklyn Queens Anniversay Day 1959″, we will quickly hear …..” Not as good as Ebinger’s Blackout”.. and if she is really on a roll she will remind us that Ebinger sponsored the float that they rode her down Atlantic Avenue on…this is a running joke in our family…somehow we do believe this is partly responsible for all of us being in therapy at one time or another… 🙂
When I finally go to London, I want to do two things: go to St. Jude Street after a song I really, really like, and eat at all of Gordon Ramsey’s pubs.
All this Brit food talk is making me hungry for Chip Shop
I love how they wrap the fish & chips in newspaper.
After growing up on Roll & Roaster (they call they’re potato-chip-shaped french fries “chips”) I used to think “chips” had to be round!
yeah, Rob, Real vegetarians don’t eat jello. Ever wonder why?

mushy peas!
Infinite – I think that too – if your STFUing you’ve already gone to stage 1 postal.
Does anyone know what those hard candies are called that are kinda butter-scotchy and kinda minty? I used to get them in the sweets shop by weight.
