 Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2006 8:36 pm Post subject: the misery of rice and noodles |
 |
|
I have been short of cash recently, and consequently have had to eat the pale imitations of pot noodles in my local 7/11.
This is because the street vendors will try to feed you a slither of squid thats been deep fried so many times it has a 12 inch circumference, thus fooling one into thinking sustenance can be achieved through consuming it.
Last night i suddenly realised after my 7th or 8th pot of crap, that they are all the bloody same! even the ones masquerading as spaghetti are fecking noodles!
And the tea drought is really hitting me hard, hence the bitter attack on 7/11's. So my question is this:
If i were to open a British Cafe/pub, with tea, Heineken export and other proper beers, proper biscuits and English Telly, that serves roast dinner on Sunday, and a 5 a side football pitch out back for Sunday kickabout, would you come? |

Excellent idea! As long as the food is top-notch quality (mum standards) and it's in Itaewon, you'd get a lot of punters. I'd go every sunday. You need English ale as well, like Boddingtons and Tetley and you should have guest breweries. Have an English menu of goodies like fish and chips, Shepperds' Pie, Steak and ale pudding, roast lamb and snacks like conish pasties. English food has a bad rep, but, like everything that's English, it's unquestionably the best!

I need investors, and i need a plan, but the first step is the idea! |

Hell yeah!! Black pudding for me and Shepherd's Pie. MMMMMMMMMM
P.S If you are really desperate for proper tea, I have Yorkshire Tea and I'll happily send some to you!

I dunno, this thread is so retrograde. It launched off on the need to branch out from processed carbs, but now it's lapsed back to separating the wheat from the chaff.
Anyway all of this futility is making me hungry... |

I'd show up if and only if a proper Essex Girl who digs Yanks were hangin' about waitin' for a proper Yank to give her a good shag-a-bout when nobody would know the bett-uh. If you could not provide such a basic aspect of Life, then I'd say feck it. |

Have the Boddingtons on tap, and I'll move in.
A shot of Tullamore Dew and a pint of Boddingtons vs. a shot of JD and a Bud. Why..WHY...WHY was I born an American? |

Boddington and Titley are both absolute sheight. A better solution if you must go British is Sam Smith.
Anyway, what's a punter? |

As you are a fan of the site:
Punter
But as I know it, it can be used in more situations than those listed.
And Boddingtons is NOT shyte. Take it back or I'll cry. |

Tetley: agreed. On a quality par with Bud, Beck's, Millers etc. All should left in the stable.
Boddingtons: there is the session beer in England (just under 4%) and the export version, just under 5%, easily found in Taipei, but not yet here.
Sam Smith is OK but avoid John Smiths.
In Singapore, the "Penny Black" has Old Speckled Hen on draught. 'Tain't cheap, but worth the difference. |
