Do you drink with meals?

[Orang Utan]

Everyone does. It's Correct.

No, the correct beverage with fish n chips is dandelion and burdock or other fizzy drink.

 

[danny la rouge]

dandelion and burdock

No, that doesn't exist.

 

[Orang Utan]

What doesn't exist?

I sometimes have wine with my tea (as in meal), but not everyday cos then I would be an alcholic.

 

[beeboo]

or other fizzy drink.

...like champagne

Danny is blythely assuming we are all nuclear families, sat round a dining table talking about current affairs and how well Johnny did at school today. He has completely ostracized us single microwave meal-eaters, sat in our bedsits, not even owning a jug. Not even owning a 2nd glass, secure in the knowledge that there will be no friend popping in...

Isn't he just! What is this 'jug' I hear of? (I fill a glass or bottle up from the tap)

My bf didn't even own a kettle when he lived on his own.


"jug" I ask yee!

 

[danny la rouge]

What doesn't exist?

A drink called dandelion and burdock. That's made up as a joke on the internewt. But I'm onto you.

Yes! And it makes me mad the local chippy doesn't sell d and b. It's mandatory drink with fish and chips!

On sale at most hardware stores. Saves you going back to the tap several times throughout your meal.

 

[danny la rouge]

Yeah, yeah. I'm not some yank, you know . I'm onto you.

 

[_angel_]

Yeah, yeah. I'm not some yank, you know . I'm onto you.

d and b is a British drink!

You can buy it all over England

 

[danny la rouge]

No it isn't.

 

[danny la rouge]

I'm going to try next time I'm there. We'll see.

Not so smart now, eh?

 

[_angel_]

No it isn't.

Yes it is. Maybe it's uniquely English and we haven't let the scots in on it.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yes! And it makes me mad the local chippy doesn't sell d and b. It's mandatory drink with fish and chips!

I thought all Northern chippies had them. If I went back up to Leeds and found I couldn't get D&B, I'd have to write a strongly-worded letter.

 

[Madusa]

No. I drink something after I've eaten.

 

[becki1701]

I gotta have something to drink with my food.

However i can't drink booze with my food. Not even wine.

So I'm often seen with both a pint and a coke in restaurants. Or Coke and a glass of wine.
Coke for the food and booze for before and after I've eaten.

This has gotten me some looks in the past. Why is he ordering two drinks?

If coke aint available.
Lemonade, ice cold squash or water or something. Occasionally milk, if its say a cafe.

My old housemate does the same thing, and he drinks coke like a demon, so we end up with a table full of glasses if we're not careful!

It's an outrage, totally.

[Epico]

I drink something with meals, be it water, juice, tea or beer.

 

[Orang Utan]

Barr, who make Irn Bru, Scotland's favourite drink after whiskey and Buckfast, also make D&B.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Not even some kind of Japanese tea?

Maybe Nihonshu.

 

[danny la rouge]

Maybe Nihonshu.

Don't be Saki.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Don't be Saki.

Oh for fucks Saké

(nihonshu is the real name for sake - sake just means booze I can't help being a nob about this fact)

 

[danny la rouge]

Oh for fucks Saké

Sorry, my bad.
