I'm going to the game today. Will be disappointed if there are no biscuits involved after all this pre match hype.
This is stemming work. I particularly recommend the Fortnum and Mason ones. Proper ginger biscuits, buttery and delicious with real ginger. And no silly talk about nuts. Ginger is a root. You’d think that the forum pedant, @Keighley, would be aware of that.
A meme flavour is whatever a fair number of people agree it is. A fair number of other people will then disagree and will be cancelled, screamed at and told to check themselves. Comedians will find it all a rich source until next month, when everybody but a few will forget about it. Those few will become obsessive about it and spend their lives searching for obscure supply outlets. Historians of the future will be totally puzzled, but will make stuff up about it, probably giving it a name, like 'Biscoff Syndrome'.
I can neither confirm nor deny it. But the ginger biscuits that I associate with the word ‘nut’, are teeth breaking and cheap. Made by McVities, but probably offered at half the price in Lidl’s own packaging and, and slightly nicer. If I visited someone who was under the age of 95, and they offered me a cup of tea and such an uninspiring biscuit, I would judge most unfavourably. If they were over 95, and still had the teeth for such a biscuit, then I would applaud them. But then I would return the next day with 10 tins of Fortnum & Mason biscuits, so they could see out the rest of their days experiencing the real thing, and start pondering what heaven is like. watford 1 cardiff 0
For all this biscuit talk, nothing tastes as good as being a physical specimen feels. I can testify to that. 3-1 Cardiff, tough afternoon for the fatty biscuit eating Hornets.
I've heard the Aldi caramelised biscuit beer (read Biscoff) is meant to be rather good. In fact I've purchased a bottle for research purposes and will publish the findings later.
Back on a good pitch today against a side who have won 1 in their last 5. Despite a poor performance on Wednesday, I am optimistic today.
With all the anti-Pozzo doom and gloom merchants out in force yesterday after the transfer window it feels really important we get a result today. It will be a very tough game, Cardiff tactic, as always, will be to kick us off the pitch. It's worked a few times for them at the Vic in recent memory. Need to see some big performances from our attacking players today
Oh really, interesting - I do find that is often the risk/pitfall of rich stouts that aren't quite high enough an ABV. Generally I've found that if it's 8% or higher it's almost guaranteed to be that rich, silky/slightly syrupy consistency that I, for one, am really looking for.
I saw this suggested in a post on Reddit, and right below it several other people saying it was actually disgusting, so I'm on tenterhooks for these findings.
Hope Pollock or Sierralta starts in CB today - Cardiff are brutally good from set-pieces, with 45% of their entire goal tally (16/35 goals) coming from set-pieces, with 14 out the 16 set-piece goals scored coming from corners. Those 14 corner goals are double (!) what the teams in 2nd (Coventry + Swansea with 7) have scored.
Good choice to bench TDB he was awful midweek. Pollock keeping his place makes sense. Sema/Dennis hopefully get some more minutes today.
Good to see Pollock get the chance to build on his last game. Hopefully Asprilla will go back to the right wing with Martins on the left.
Very interesting, thanks, I've not had anything from, Yonder. To go full wannker, the best coffee stout I've ever had is the Imperial Biscotti Break from Evil Twin in New York - 11.5% but perfectly balanced, not too cloying or too syrupy, as some of Amundsen's pastry stouts can tend to be. That being said, I have a one of Goose Island's yearly barrel-aged Bourbon County stouts that I bought just before Christmas - it's from 2021, and will continue to age in the bottle for up to 5 years. I'm trying to find the right momentous occasion to take it out and open it, which includes being able to be immobilised soon after, as it sits ludicrously at 14.5%...
Ahaha, perhaps it would be, though I feel in my waters the bottle-ageing process will likely be carrying on this afternoon and into this evening and onwards if so.
Bowler had been utterly s*** until he pulled that out. We’ve looked out on our arses from the get go. Need to switch the ball quicker - there’s space down the sides if we move the ball with more urgency.
