A friendly place for friends who drink

@Gavin,

Are cockles and laverbread as delicious as they look and sound? I saw a show with a big breakfast plate of them and some bangers and it looked fantastits.

Laverbread?

Think you have me confused with someone else mate. I'm not Welsh.

I didt care too much for English sausage, is there a difference between English and Irish sausage?
It kind of reminded me of scrapple. I think you would dig scrapple.

Both are very good. I've had great examples in both countries with obviously a touch of bias toward my own kinsman's variety. American saussage (links as y'all add to distinhuish it from what we Irish would call pudding) is rarely in the same ballpark when it comes to flavor and texture. I know not why, I am bereft of butchery knowhow. I think it's because there are not enough lips and as$holes in American saussage.

*hot-dogs are excluded for obvious reasons*

Never had scrapple but I'm sure I'd like it. Does not resemble Irish saussage. (I will forgo any obvious double entendres here.)

You must not be as blind as me. -5.00 and 5.75. Don't think I'd be able to function for long with just one in.



Can't it be both?

-5.25 and -5.50 I believe here. Can't see 3 ft in front of me without contacts. Gotta love being blind.

More coffee and hoping the rest of the work day is smooth. I'm sure the staff meeting later will be tons of fun.

Unfortunately, now I have seen it.

Scrapple is essentially hog offal. It has a very similar texture to English sausage, the taste wasn't too far off.

Note to self, try a boulevardier...

All good saussage has some offal in it I reckon. Hog offal is the best offal.

Maybe that's what Murican saussage is awful. All the good offal bits are going into scrapple.

This kind of crap makes me so angry. People are just eating it up. So, I used to love sweets and hated bitter. Now that I 'trained' myself to like bitter IPA's and no longer can stomach sweet things, does that mean I trained myself to be malevolent and psychotic? Or does it mean I was like that from the beginning, and was bound to prefer bitter things?

Just stupid. At least it was no more than a 30 second read.

They're good. Especially if you dislike gin.

You lasted longer than me. Could barely get past the click-bait and the headline.

Also @beermeDuffman . If you are ever in Ireland you neeed to try

Clonakilty Black and White Pudding.

Mmmmmm. Sizzle

 

[iijakii]

Would try. The bloodwursts I tried in Germany were great.

I like gin.

I like negronis. I also like manhattans. Just never thought to combine them.

I love blood sausage.

German, Irish, Taiwanese. Each has their own signature.

My bad...

OT:

Ever have white hots? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hot

That's right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add it to my must try when traveling lists.
We were actually thinking about visiting my wifes name-sake county Clare in the future, so going in with an idea of what to try food wise is a plus.

Never have understood the appeal of eating things with blood in them. I cringe when I watch bizarre foods and he's showing people making blood foods or one episode in Africa where they drank blood straight out of the cow and ate the bits that coagulated in the container. Blood is not part of any of my food groups. To each his own, I guess.

 

[Zekk]

I like IPA and black coffee. And I'm left handed, wasn't that a thing for psychos too?

Mine is very coppery. Pairs nicely with a good pasta dish.

I like blood sausage. My wife used to like blood sausage. She works in a hospital OR and is now pretty turned off from the smell/flavor. Reminds her of surgery I guess.

Cheese and salsa were in the cups. Salsa is pretty damn good. The chips not so much. Too thick, no salt
