I feel like "turns up and eats the sad dregs of the chocolate box" should be a new meaning for the term catfish.

A species that subsits on purple quality street, bounties, and parma violets.

Well, we're back to the 80s, nostalgia fans...

We're either getting Thatcher 1.9 or 2.1, AIDS 2.0 is here (says who? says WHO, that's who) and the US will be getting Reagan 2.0, post Biden's Carter 2.0 Dem 1-term no-hoper after the previous Rep was so poo poo even the Reps wanted shot of him.

So take advantage of today's current cheap (in retrospect) house prices and hope it doesn't end in nuclear fire, because you can't get insurance for that.

This is why I normally always leave my Freeview on channel 11 so I don't see any news by accident that might upset me.

Being fair, you've not met me either.

I assume it's just.. The way you're raised and the food you're exposed to as a kid? I don't know. The UK has plenty of really good local food so I think the stereotype is generally underserved but then sometimes you have these illicit love affairs with chocolate oranges and black pudding that nobody understands except possibly australians who are just warm weather brits.

I'll definitely do that and report back. I'd have liked to do a lot more British food reports for the thread, but since I've gone vegan a lot of it is just off the table so we'll never know.

If you've ever had love hearts, or fizzers, same texture but it literally tastes like drinking perfume, horrifying.

Though if you like other floral flavours you might enjoy it?

Same, hate turkish delight (floral flavoured), don't like refreshers, or the bad kind of smarties (chalky sweets), but Parma Violets are fun to eat cause they taste so weird. In a good way, honest

I don't normally like Turkish Delight but I had a Turkish colleague who would bring Turkish Delight back from Turkey (I think they're officially Turkiye now) and that poo poo was incredible.

Parma violets are mostly baffling to me. They aren't even that unpleasant, it's just confusing why anybody would choose to eat them over literally any other sweet.

Aniseed balls are fantastic though, sorry for your bad tastebuds Lungboy.

My local Tesco have been selling Refreshers for 20p a roll so it's like "poo poo, I better buy 10 packs because the local store sells them for 50p and that saving is just leaving money on the table, almost pays for the bus fare!" And so I've gotten back into Refreshers and now I bet Tesco will jack the price back up :(

But yes, loving Parma Violets are just weird. Why the gently caress have you flavoured sugar with perfume?

The texture is great, but again, weird floral flavour that probably doesn't benefit from being synthesized with the cheapest esters available.

I did a while back buy a bar of salmiakki, and while I still hate liquorice, it did taste better than normal liquorice so I am forced to concede that Finland has some sort of good idea there I guess, although not sure if making liquorice taste slightly less horrible to people who hate it, is a good use of resources.

The British appetite for blood sausage and the Jehovah's Witness opposition to blood fractions might well be the two largest cultural drivers towards fully synthetic blood, which in turn would provide transplant media stock and also an egg substitute that's vegan, kosher, halal, and allergy friendly.

Satisfy those and you're halfway towards solving human donor medicine and good vegan cakes.

I remember hearing an old story where Ailtirí na hAiséirghe, an Irish totalitarian turbo-Christian corporatist fascist lot of bastards in the 1940s, held a meeting in a community building, and a small contingent of 'ra men went along to see what it was all about, then they got kicked out for refusing to pledge to the fascist allegiance that was demanded, said 'gently caress this' and got very drunk in a pub somewhere up the street to the hall, and by the time that the fascists had finally finished up and started heading out had armed themselves with half inch iron road pins, lurked outside in the bushes, and knocked the whole fash movement into insignificance/hospital beds with said construction materials in the space of half an hour.

There's a lesson in that for all peoples of all places.

You can also get the sal ammoniac salt and apply it to other things, like instead of table salt.

Also while doing mild wikipedia diving I found:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman%27s_Friend

Apparently both thatcher and macron eat lots of fisherman's friends and famously the fishing industry was pro brexit, so perhaps they cause bad political ideas.

Also technically blood is already a vegan egg substitute if you are committed or good friends with someone.
