Well, that wasn't too interesting
So, time for the Generic Lunch Thread!

Today, Mulligatawney Soup with a bread roll. Yawn.

Yourself?

Alt Q: Is there anything you should count yourself as a snob in? I've been arguing with a bloke at work because he wants to go and watch "Let Me In", and I've been pointing out that everything about the original is better, even though I've not even seen the new one yet.

Avoid pastry.
Pasty's a fucking filler with gastric complaints. I succumbed to a steak pie once and it nearly fucking killed me.

(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 11:59, Reply)
It very much depends on the pastry I think.
If it's nasty cheap and greasy, avoid at all costs. Good quality and freshly made seems to prevent a gastric attack (on me anyway), but not always. Sadly.

Hows about puff pastry?
You know, pastry for puffs
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:09, Reply)
Should be OK mostly.
The lighter the pastry the fewer the problems in my experience. I haven't had an episode for a good few months now, and if I do I take gaviscon and have a milky drink. Or if not gaviscon handy, peppermint.

I'm not a snob
I'm very fussy in the sense of what I like and who I socialise with, but it's not snobbery in the conventional sense.
How much money something costs does not necessarily mean quality these days.
How much money someone earns says nothing about their character.
Using the brand name of something instead of naming it is for tits.(Apart from Hoover and Tannoy. That's fine by me.)
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:04, Reply)

In fact there's also Coke and Pepsi. But you know what I mean. When birds say "My Manolo Blahniks" instead of "My shoes" or "My Prada jacket" instead of "My parka". Are you so insecure and in awe of money that you have to desperately mention it? If you were truly 'minted' or 'well-bred' you'd find that sort of name-dropping very crass. I bet you had nits and dodged the rent man as a child.

Are you making a serious claim that you can tell the difference?

(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:12, Reply)
Yes
I am confident I could pass blind taste tests.

Fair enough. I can see a distinction between their 'diet' and 'regular' varieties
But between the two brands, I really fail to see how they differ.

Pepsi tastes like swigging sugar

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:15, Reply)
^ this
My sister didn't believe me either when I said I could taste the difference, so we did actually do a taste test and I can. Pepsi can only be drunk on sufferance and in the absence of anything else more palatable.

Definitely

this is true
on the subject of taste tests my parents did one on goats milk versus cow's milk when I was little in the hopes of fooling me

You can absolutely tell the difference

^ see above; I'm sceptical
But I will admit I don't drink either very often.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:15, Reply)
Pepsi's a bit sweeter.
Although I prefer Coke. Paradoxically, I can tolerate Diet Pepsi, but Diet Coke is rank unless it's the one with lime in it.

I like how it's always said in a semi-apologetic way
Pepsi is inferior to Coca Cola.
(I helped save b3ta! Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:12, Reply)
And Coca Cola is inferior to Diet Coke from anything but draught.

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:14, Reply)
No
I don't like Diet Coke, apart from that stuff with lemon in, that was alright.

Diet coke tastes like bicarb
My fat relatives drink it so they can excuse their obesity.
"I'm trying, look!"

I love it when fatties do that
I mock them wholeheartedly for it, though usually just in my head.

^ pretty much this.
I freely admit to doing most of my basic bulk-buy food shopping at Aldi. Their frozen chicken breasts are half the price of fresh from mainstream supermarkets, you get more and it's not filled with fucking water. I tried stir frying some fresh chicken breasts from Asda once; I may has well have just dropped them in a pan of boiling water.

Mind you don't let Swipe hear you saying you shop at Aldi
She'll stop talking to you!
(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:12, Reply)
A lot of their stuff is far superior to anything you can get in mainstream supermarkets.
For basics it's sound. I do supplement the basic shop from other places, but why spend double the money when you can get the same basic quality at half the price?
(I helped save b3ta! Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:14, Reply)
That was exactly my point
Especially their frozen stuff.
(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:15, Reply)
Their fresh produce rocks and you can get a great variety of continental meats and cheeses there
I just don't have one near me
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 12:17, Reply)
Ours is about 200 metres along from us.
Which is another compelling arguement for shopping there.

Their frozen fish is mostly pretty good too.

Lidl ain't bad and a bit nearer
I should go there when I get my olives/cheeses/meats-type feasts.
