#EATCLEAN

[Thunderplex]

Just carbs and grease really.  Looks excellent!

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.

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.

@Chest Rockwellcan you tell him. He's making football jokes (?) and it's not fair.

They look like little pukey mouths. Can't wait to try them

It's posts like this and my poor will power that mean I have to take 2 lots of heart medication each day.

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'...

Not sure how I feel about an Irn Bru milkshake either

Where's the fish & chips? 

[Gus Mears]

Reinventing high tea to be 80% beige buffet is an inspired move though. Greggs would clear up if they started offering that to tourists.

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.

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.
