A view from Ireland (where Kerrygold would be just considered bog standard butter)- all our primary diary and meat produce is incredible and it is down to the rain and grass- one of the things I always miss when I’m overseas is milk, I’ve never found anything to be the equal of Irish milk.

Yes, I love browns but brewers have an issue with the name. I suggested “Dark Amber”

I’ve had two- one bittered with heather and another that was bittered with bog oak.Both surprisingly drinkable.

Beer nerds: “Pumpkin beers are stoopid and should be banned”
Also beer nerds: “Do you brew anything with children’s breakfast cereal???”

German and Czech styles- primarily lagers (marzens, kolschs, helles, vienna etc). I know brewers swore off them because they wanted to differentiate themselves from the macros but if anything they can prove that there’s so much more to these styles. We have some really good examples here in Ireland and in a couple of…

I see they made the decision to finally remove the patch of vomit that the scientist guy always had on his chin.

Dammit, I’d forgotten the Incredible Acting Jaw was added to the cast for the fourth series.

Cue multiple food poisonings as everyone in the US sets the oven temp to 190 fahrenheit...

Here in Europe, we have the Precautionary Principle- animal welfare is of primary concern. This means the meat is fit for human consumption at any point. In the US the meat only has to be passed as fit for human consumption at the endpoint (hence chlorine chicken) and that’s why the FDA always recommend over-cooking…

Also, as we can see by the top picture, Boaty McBoatface lives on- it’s the name of one of the remote sub drones.

It’s less likely to happen if your waiter is paying attention to service, rather that trying to turn you into his new best friend.

I saw that episode. It was nonce-sense.

Tea. Accept no substitutes. Although I understand why it’s not on the list as Liptons seems to be the only tea you can get in the US and it’s horrifying...

In Ireland and the UK you can ask for these fees to be waived and give a tip directly to the waiter.

The simple rule is this: If you don’t want to drink it, don’t cook with it. Works with wine and spirits too.

I’m hoping the tagline will be “Ruddy Hell!”

I saw a cartoon recently, it showed a debate on a BBC news show and the presenter was saying “And here’s Professor So-And-So who is an expert in this field, and, in the interests of balance, here’s an idiot who read something on a website.”
