Plus McDonald's and Burger King do nice food, despite what some "sophisticated" and "hip" people want to say.


Guess we all have different palates

That's fair.

And mine is anything Burger, Pizza, Potato, Italian in general, or Curry related (and I don't care from which country either) Curry is Curry at the end of the day.:joker:

Mmm one spoonful is adequate for me … I must be a lightweight .. although I have a very sensitive palate .

Is the Intense stronger than the Gold Blend or just different ?

We’ve had the standard Nescafe on holiday and found it bitter compared to Gold Blend

i vary the beans i use regularly, because your palate gets used to the taste very quickly and you lose the benefit

I got a no frills hot chocolate from a mobile vendor last week and it cost me £4:70 :conf:

This morning I felt mildly rebellious so I mixed a little Nescafe Gold Blend with some Mellow Birds … rather dreamy !!

A chippy with no Mushy Peas, and looks at the customer in amazement at wanting Vinegar is no real Chippy in my eyes.

Its madness .. even their junk food is awful .

Added to the fact that they dont have nice sausages over there and the bacon is shocking.

We had to pay about £3 each for tins of Heinz beans from the supermarket
