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.

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

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
