And why would it? But I've recently discovered (on Foodgoat) that such a practice is not entirely unheard of, and I fear I may forever be haunted by the visual whenever I hear "On Horseback". -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Mar. 11 2008, 05:35 I went for d). Though I'll be trying it later rather than now! I'm more of a lager person myself (once got a personal christmas card from Tennents.....). I realise you "Camera" types will spit in disgust but I'll have to try dunking in both lager (cough spit) and also an ale of some sort which I imagine might work better. What cheeses work best? I'm a chedder sort of guy usually but I imagine jarlesberg might work better? Oh I do love cheese threads.....   -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

As for what beer... they're all good to me (well, almost all), but I imagine it might work well with stout? Back to top

I mean dunked chocolate biscuits in onion and garlic dip!  It sounds like a really nasty combination at first, but it's actually really nice!  ...Honestly!   Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Mar. 20 2008, 21:56 This thread reminds me of a story about Vivian Stanshall.Viv was known to have a little bit of a disregard for American people on the whole.Although I dare say he managed to befriend more than a fair few in all reality.Anyway one day whilst sitting in an English country pub at around about lunchtime.Mr Stanshall is about to partake of a pint of the landlord`s finest,and has just ordered from the bar for himself;a Cornish pastie.Just at that point an American couple walk into the bar who are quite clearly tourists on one of those all encompassing European tours. I guess it kind of helps the story here if you imagine this couple being middle aged.Slightly obese and wearing gawdy floral shirts with camera hanging round their necks.But I do so hate to stereotype myself so I`ll leave that up to you.Somehow or other Stanshall ends up talking to this couple about whatever it is tourists and eccentric English musicians talk about.And the American guy turns to Viv and asks him.."So what is it that you guys have for your lunch around here?We`d simply love to sample some of your local food." Quick as a flash Stansall replies.."Well why don`t you just have what I`m having..A cornish pastie and a pint of beer."At which point Stanshall then proceeds to dunk his pastie into his pint.Taking great big hearty bites out of it like it`s the most natural thing in the world and making yummy noises. Of course this American couple think this is absolutely knock down fantastic and decide to join him.Meanwhile the rest of the bar are biting through their bottom lips trying to suppress their laughter whilst this couple.(napkins tucked into their shirt collars)Order their pints and pasties and proceed to follow Viv`s visual instructions to the letter.   Great stuff.The man should surely have been knighted if only for this simple act alone.
