on Imperialism/Empire being its own downfall?

like when you play consequences
"Imperialism is a concept and a reality of many parts and part of that is DOOM. It's own doom, wrapped in layers of respectability and custard"
OK, next

involving whipped and cooked milk, sugar and egg yolk mixtures. Custards are typically very rich and thick and have many uses in desserts. Custard bases may also be used for quiches and other savoury foods. As a dessert, it is made from a combination of milk or cream, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin is added.

imperialism is sweeter than custard, but probably not all things considered better for you. It has more in common with a McDonalds than custard in that respect.

acts as a non-newtonian cover for doom-based activities. But outside of this custard cocoon, imperialism finds itself in a world of hurt, attacked from all sides by small ant like creatures intent on its destruction and bumming

I totally fucked up a lemon meringue pie this weekend. I failed at the cornflour + boiling water stage and the whole thing was just a congealed mess. Plus the lemons I used were value lemons so they had no lemony flavour whatsoever. In the end I just picked at the meringue topping over the weekend and then binned the rest. Sad face.

that the meringue was perfect, so it looked delicious, but in reality it just concealed a gelatinous goo pile of blandness.
I did make a toffee apple crumble last week that was fucking amazing. I had to eat it all myself because my other half doesn't like desserts (freak) and I was expecting to feel all "please god, no more" by the end of it, but I just wanted to make another one straight away.

I think I've even built up an immunity to undercooked chicken from when I lived by myself. However, desserts and sweet things are my forte. Except for lemon meringue fucking pie, obviously.

lemon meringue pie is totally my favourite
my mum made rhubarb and ginger brulee the other night. I've never tasted anything like it. it was incredible.

I'm not a fan of rhubarb though, it's just sour and horrible. Although that's based on a childhood experience of being forced to eat rhubarb crumble gooseberry icecream *shudder*

I've only recently started to eat it.
the pudding I mentioned was unbelievable. All 6 of us were astounded by how good it was.

I disagree with your idea.
Sorry, not 3000 words, but this twitter age has ruined my ability to string two sentances together.

it's a discussion question on the gravediggers of Empire being imperialists themselves, but my tutor is a bit of a lefty and I know what he'd mark down (me blathering about external and economic forces)

the fact that they repeatedly fucked up the Death Stars, and one of them convinced his old man to bung the Emperor down a big shaft.
