This was worth getting wet for.

Not really. A very ordinary shot.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

Perhaps your ordinary shots are better trhan the more contrived ones?
I would fave it if you did the suggested crop.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

I cannot say, never having had trhan. But when the crop is harvested I'll endeavor to try the stuff. Ealing is full of foreign and ethnic food outlets, and one of them must sell it.

Happy New Year.

Give me good old English grub with shepherd's pie and gravy.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

Me too, but without the gravy, please.

My pet hates where food is concerned are cooked breakfasts served tepid and any main course saturated in gravy, the vegetables sodden. Also cooked breakfasts with fried tomato and/or baked beans, the water and/or tomato sauce making everything on the plate wet and soggy, and hot puddings served on the same plate with ice cream or anything cold, so all ends up tepid and soggy.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

Yes, you've mentioned these obsessions before.
How would you cope with vegetable soup?

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

They're not obsessions, just preferences based in good taste and common sense.

I cope because I drink soup using a spoon, and don't attempt to eat it using a knife and fork. Soup, moreover, is supposed to be wet.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

Ah, so you don't mind sodden vegetables if they're supposed to be wet (as in soup), which suggests that it's the rules that matter to you more than the taste.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

It's more to do with the fact that while (in small amounts) gravy can improve the texture and taste of otherwise dry meat, it does not do that with vegetables, particularly potato, and especially roast potatoes, which are meant to be crisp on the outside, not soggy and wet. Ugh!

Some vegetables go well with soup when the taste of the soup is compatible with them, which gravy is not.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

Potato with gravy is really yummy, especially if it's King Edward.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

If King Edward were alive today, he'd be turning in his gravy.

That might be the first pun you've made that's actually funny.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

I wouldn't have the sauce to deny it.
