the Italians make a biscuit like a rich tea only because they're not catastrophic cuisine fails they've made them so that they actually taste nice

They make one called Grissini that are great with a nice cup of British tea.

grissini are bread sticks
what sort of awful northern monkey dips bread in tea?
(lol man river definite greek god, Tue 12 May 2015, 12:27, Reply)

no one said dipping.

dipping is implicit in the concept of a biscuit
it comes from the old french bes cuit meaning "best dipped in tea"

Cantuccini are what we call Biscotti.

It means 'twice baked' doesn't it? I suspect they'd be nicer baked once.

See, there you go again, drinkwrong added to foodwrong.
A good cup of tea or coffee is a thing of wonder. However a poor one is adjacent to warm piss, a good example being any that came from a vending machine.

I got my company to start buying Yorkshire Gold teabags and about 20% of people switched from coffee to tea.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 12 May 2015, 13:05, Reply)

Once I plucked a number out of thin air and presented it as a percentage to look right about something on the internet too, it works about 107% of the time.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Tue 12 May 2015, 13:08, Reply)

My figure was based on teabag and coffee purchasing.
You are quite right, the people drinking coffee could, in theory, have reduced their consumption by 20% and those that were drinking tea anyway may have upped their tea consumption.

Seems unlikely though.

So you're the one responsible for making sure the staff room is well stocked with teabags then?
