Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 19, 2023 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2023 On a train from Manchester to London. Sat behind a delegation from Pound Bakery (would the collective noun be a batch?), it's UKFF in the real world. Finally evidence of this fictitious bakery outside of the North. They all look like they eat pastry a lot. There have been excellent descriptions of products and profits which they really shouldn't do on a public train, especially with a gossipy type who works in a related industry sitting nearby. But I enjoyed this the most: they told a junior member that Greggs have been continually able to offer 4 sausage rolls for a £1 by reducing the size by 1/16th every year and now they cannot shrink them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the collective noun for a bakery delegation is like bread, it could be rolls/batch/buns/cob/barm/bread cake/muffin/scuffler Just delete as appropriate and move on before you start a regional war against people willing to die on any of the above hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 5, 2023 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2023 A "British" caff. In Omaha. There's decent intentions there but oof! some real clangers. Quite the obsession with chocolate limes. Rice pudding just hanging out in the Mains section. And those Welsh do love their Bakewell tart. I'll let the Scottish contingent enjoy the 'Flying Scotsman'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted February 5, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2023 Reinventing high tea to be 80% beige buffet is an inspired move though. Greggs would clear up if they started offering that to tourists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 5, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2023 Harry Potter Butterbeer can fuck off for a start. We have enough real drinks in this country without including fictional ones. A Lilt milkshake also sounds disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted February 5, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2023 Regrettably the kitchen was closed, though I look forward to returning to the London Transport Museum's delightful canteen and getting my hands on a Metropolitan. Lovely touch naming some of their dishes after different tube lines. Maybe they can add a new sandwich which stuffs tons of ingredients together to resemble a packed morning commuter service, or some sort of melting, greasy dish to replicate the feeling of a summer journey underground.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
