MEGA IMPORTANT MATCH THREAD

I should've phrased my point better; sugary Coke is better than sugary Pepsi. Diet Pepsi/ Pepsi max are better than Diet Coke.

Nope, still all shit. Sort it out lad.

I'm willing to believe that in your case.

Steak pudding > battered fish

Just putting it out there. Has to be a pudding, not a pie. Of course, going back to where we started from, even northerners need a fork and prob a knife to eat one

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

What the fuck differentiates pie and pudding?

On a side note, on my commute in, stood next to a guy with Monster: The Doctor... I also have Monster: The Doctor... We are brothers in arms.

 

[veggieeater]

Steak pudding is suet based and sits upside down, its gorgeous. Steak pie is all crusty- pretty much like B2TF I imagine

Re Fish and chips, too true you cant beat Steels or Becketts, both great, though just Steels > Beckets BTW, though the scraps are miles better at Becketts. Does Steels do take away though?

Would like to try The Magpie at Whitby, stayed there all week and honestly the queue to get in was about 30 or 40 yards at times

I once had a fairly traumatic breakup over a steak pudding( lardy death abomination)

You can't say that without elaborating...

Ok mate, I will. When I was young I went to see the marvellous post punk band Mogwai in Manchester. I met this lovely lady from Rochdale ( technically Ramsbottom, but I digress) . Despite the long distance issues things seemed to be progressing well until the fateful Sunday evening at THE CHIPSHOP. I quite reasonably ordered a meat pie but my lady love persuaded me to order a steak pudding( lardy death abomination). Eager to go native I agreed. I wasn't prepared for the foul, fatty mess that preceded to my destroy my chip supper and exclaimed rather forcefully that northerners know absolutely nothing about food!
It was the beginning of the end for our coupling and despite assurances on both sides that the "long distance thing " was to blame, we both know it was the steak pudding( lardy death abomination).
Tldr? I'm a petty twat.

It took you half an hour?

We've all been in food related relationship hiccoughs though... When I was at uni I was in a long term relationship and I have two particularly disastrous food stories...

1. I was in Sainsbury's and I saw a quiche, so I utter "I don't think I've ever had quiche before". That's fine I hear you say... Happened to pronounce it "qweech". Oops.

2. She asked me to bring back a red onion, at this time I was naive as to what a red onion actually looked like, I presumed an onion but red. Went into the local shop and they had a collection of vegetables in the red onion tray. Now they didn't particularly look like onions, nor feel like onions, but they had red on them and they were in the tray so I thought, must be it. It wasn't, I brought her back a turnip...

I've also literally just laughed out loud in the office because I can still recall her reaction...

You should never be trusted with food or alcohol. Or anything frankly.

You can't leave that story hanging there also you should have left her just for the pronunciation of Quiche.

You mean she should have left me...! Rude.

Well, her reaction was along the lines of, "erm, what is this?" - "it's a red onion?" - "oh llama" <insert look of bemused bewilderment / how are you even alive>

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Talking of red onions, they're now my fave vegetable. I always quite like biting into one like an apple and watching everyone else's wtf reactions.

Wtf?!

You are really weird but I've done the same with a pepper before

 

[EnglishRed]

Eating an onion as if it was an apple is a sure sign of madness.

Just to add, puddings are also steamed rather than baked like pies (or re-heated in the case of 99% of chippies).

"foul, fatty mess"???? wtf?????

Clearly, if you're not up for a pudding, then you weren't worthy of a northern lass's attentions and were rightfully dumped

Chippies in Wrexham don't seem to do them so it's a treat (yes, a treat) I don't get to indulge in very often.

I should've phrased my point better; sugary Coke is better than sugary Pepsi. Diet Pepsi/ Pepsi max are better than Diet Coke.

No way, you've got it the other way round. Sugary Pepsi beats sugary Coke and diet Coke beats diet Pepsi, in fact I would say Diet Pepsi is one of the worst soft drinks around. But like Harrier94 I prefer Dr.Pepper.

edit - and oh, apparently, regular Pepsi has a lot less sugar in it than reg Coke. I can believe this, as Coke has way too much sugar in it.

Then call me Maddy MacMad of Madchester and carry me off to Bedlam. Have you really never bitten a chunk off an onion before a lingering French kiss with a Northern Lass. Drives 'em wild. They love it. *Pro Tip*​

Maybe we can agree that Coke Zero is better than Pepsi Max?

I suppose so but it's a bit like swine flu being better than Ebola imvho.

On a side note, on my commute in, stood next to a guy with Monster: The Doctor... I also have Monster: The Doctor... We are brothers in arms.

To be fair 'The Doctor' is by far and away the best tasting energy drink.

Diet Pepsi with Vimto cordial, yes sirree!

I ate a whole raw white onion like an apple once as a tie break for a pub quiz. I thought I'd like it but it really was unpleasant

 

[PaulHaddock]

Raw onion is perfectly fine to eat as a snack, I wouldn't eat it in people's faces as that's just rude.
