Would you eat...

[warpus]

I can live with that. I would say "sandwich roll" instead of "bun" because I think round when I say bun. Perhaps I am a bun extremist?

Yeah, that makes sense to me.

If I want a sandwich I visit my fridge. Just saying.

I don't own a fridge. I could have visited my girlfriend's fridge, but sometimes I like having someone else make the sandwich. Besides, while Subway may not make the greatest sandwich on earth I suspect that current contents of the gf's fridge would have led to grilled cheese or grilled cheese, which was not the sandwich I wanted at the time.

How can you not own a fridge??? Where do you keep the milk for your tea?

Milk... in tea...

Why would you do this thing to tea?

 

[warpus]

Only savages put milk in tea.

Black tea is the work of Satan and all his little goblins. Begone heretic or face the wrath of a righteous Englishman.

Delicious delicious tea is like an exotic woman. When she's all steamy and ready to go she's either lovely enough to enjoy bare or she's not. If you need to roll her around with cow juice to make her palatable... hoo boy. That's either quite a specimen or you got some interesting kinks going on.

I'm a homeless person. The only use I would have for a fridge is if I took the door off and propped it up like a lean to.

And milk in tea. What's that about? It's like all these places that have all this weird raspberry tea and such. It's all I can do to be polite and say "just regular tea" instead of "if I wanted some sort of off flavored and flat raspberry soda I wouldn't have asked for tea, now would I?"

Straight tea is bitter as hell. If made properly, which Americans have famously never managed.

Huh?

I put milk in my black tea, but not my green tea.

Wait...so if you make it properly it comes out too bitter to drink without milk, but if you make it wrong it is delicious and refreshing.

Is there an obvious flaw in the reasoning there, or am I seeing things?

 

[Farm Boy]

Add more leaves and burn the hell out of the leaves to make it bitter? It's not bad, but if I want more bitter I go with my exotic South American beauty instead of the Asian one. And I don't roll her around with the cows either.

All you need to ever put in tea is sugar. And maybe some lemon.

 

[brennan]

If you put milk in it it's not black anymore, if you see what I mean. To a Brit a black tea or coffee is one sans cow juice.

All that I ever put in tea is ice.

Properly made tea is made in boiling water for strength and with milk to take away the bitterness. Confusion and ignorance about this can result from being a benighted foreigner.

 

[warpus]

Isn't tea supposed to be bitter? If you need it to be less bitter, get a tea that's not as bitter, or use less teabags. I tried tea with milk in it once, and that stuff doesn't taste anything like tea.

I put a teabag in a cup, pour boiling water in, put the kettle down and hum a brief tune for timing. Then I pull the teabag out by the convenient string and drop it on top of the ice in my glass and squash it like a bug, using the little tab thing on the string to make sure I don't burn my finger. Then I throw the teabag away and pour the tea from the cup over the ice. Result---->

I attribute my confusion and ignorance to being very satisfied with how my tea turns out.
