There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can’t let this abomination go.

I am referring to Branston Smooth.

I love Branston Pickle, but I can’t get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

Ah, that reminded me of another bizarre Guinness product I saw when I was travelling to the States.

Why would you have Guinness American Lager?

They did do a really nice lager some years ago. It was a limited edition but rather good. Wish they’d bring that back instead of this crap.

We talking about the same thing? Thin, watery, an insult to Guinness, an insult to coffee.

This is like when Kraft bought Cadbury’s and started to do mash ups nobody wanted.

Tastes so good. Guess we are just very different people. This is an amazing drink. Ill gladly accept your share of these to prevent your horror of ever encountering these again!

Aha, that explains why every possible item of food has a new “Oreo” flavoured version.

How is that different from a coffee stout?

It’s Guinness branded.

Maybe they thought that was enough. It’s proper disgusting though. Not sure what they were on when they dreamt that up 😂.

Oreos. Bourbons are superior in every way.

I really don’t get Oreos. The biscuit doesn’t taste of chocolate, and the paste just tastes of paste, making it worse than custard creams.

It just tastes “budget”.

Thing is, Oreos were the better copy of the cookies that preceded them, Hydrox. And I love Oreos.

So now I just have to try some bourbons. What brands would you recommend?

I’ve been watching a lot of British comedy shows lately. I want to try a sausage roll too.

But not ‘absolute casserole’. That sounds a bit disgusting and messy.

Please someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think bourbons are past the point of having separate brands any more. We eat so many of them (nationally, not personally), that 40p “Happy Shopper” bourbons are basically the same as £2 Marks and Spencer ones, and are probably made in the same factory.

I’m in the US. On my last trip to the grocery store I saw that the Mt Olive brand is now selling pickle juice as its own separate product. They had little shot sized bottles and big liter jugs of it. Someone had the actual nerve to market this as a “sports drink”.

It’s literally on the same shelf right next to the pickles, and cost nearly twice as much.

Okay, fuck that, but hear me out: it’s a good sports drink. Drinking a shot of pickle juice for every couple of water bottles on a day where you’re pouring sweat keeps you hydrated better than Gatorade (also good while drinking, and the sour and saltiness mixes well with tequila). There’s no reason to pay a premium for it instead of just skimming some from pickles you already have though.

I want to know what this is, but I’m not sure how to Google it. Can you give me a couple keywords to include with the name?

They are pork meat balls, made with pork belly, bacon, if you get traditional faggots then they will also contain a bit of liver and kidney too.
