I work as the only brit in an american office, and from what I can tell they have a crap load of these spreads and sauces... so they have started to make me taste some of them (in reaction to this thread) and I can honestly say, they are all indistinguishable, additive ridden, heart-cloggers... Especially Baconaise... That was the worst! At least ours taste good, and won't kill you, or make your kids fat...! Seriously, spreadable cheese that doesn't say 'Brie' on it!?
You should tell them that leaving the Empire was the worst mistake they ever made.DeanoTheGod said:
They'll really appreciate that, and you'll become the coolest guy around.
I gleefully worked out for them that their beloved country has still been in out possession longer than it has been in their own!!Daystar Clarion said:
We also have a lot of posters up around the office that take the piss out of each other! Its pretty funny! Also if they talk about the UK, I correct them and ask them to refer to it as 'the Motherland'!
Sounds like fun.DeanoTheGod said:I gleefully worked out for them that their beloved country has still been in out possession longer than it has been in their own!!Daystar Clarion said:

If only the rest of the world could joke around with each other like that.
Get in line, I have hundreds of worshippers.Malty Milk Whistle said:
Unrelated. Is your avatar an Uragaan?
If so, I approve. You'll go far in my organisation.
You fools, touting your false gods of Branston Pickle, Marmite and even worse... peanut butter. You all all forgetting the ONE TRUE god of spreadable fillings, the one who gave unto us both a meaty drink AND a meaty spread.
As a drink, Bovril is the winter warmer to end all winter warmers. Especially with some pepper.CaptainTrilby said:You fools, touting your false gods of Branston Pickle, Marmite and even worse... peanut butter.

But as a sandwich spread? I'm not a fan.
You'd be surprised! Whilst attending a presentation from some Danes that started with them telling us about there country, they mentioned their Queen. They called her 'the Queen Margrethe II'.Daystar Clarion said:Sounds like fun.DeanoTheGod said:I gleefully worked out for them that their beloved country has still been in out possession longer than it has been in their own!!Daystar Clarion said:

Later I had to do our country presentation, (There were 15 countries doing this...) and I mentioned Her Majesty The Queen, and added the caveat that 'we had The Queen, and not just 'a Queen' like certain other countries...' Luckily everyone took it in good humour!
I was on a course with some Iraqis once as well... There was a lot of good Banter throwing around there too!
I know what you mean though, sometimes people just don't have a national sense of humour...! :/
It's very much an acquired taste but on some toast, I find it heavenly.Daystar Clarion said:As a drink, Bovril is the winter warmer to end all winter warmers.

What. My avatar is no meager Uragaan. It is THE mini uragaan. I have my own theme tune. but thanks...does your organisation involve kidnapping and murdering of certain kittens or other small animals or humanoids? if it does, i'm in.Daystar Clarion said:
I know this guy, we use to hang out every weekend until he had his claim to fames. Just throwing that out there.Best of the 3 said:[HEADING=1]3:[/HEADING]
Marmite has been made into fine, edible, works of art. Branston art, is there such a thing? OF COURSE NOT. Branston lacks the elegance needed for such an accomplishment.
I have no idea what the fuck I just read; but I love it. Thread of the year!
Your avatar suits that post surprisingly well. It's like you're just sitting there writing this post, and then get distracted thinking about Branston Pickle.Hookman said:
absolutely priceless, along with the entire threadDaystar Clarion said:
OT: never tried Branston myself, haven't had the opportunity, as my family don't eat it and I've never known someone who did eat it well enough to steal their sandwich (or a bite thereof) while their back was turned.
