Now is that a cocktail, or a craft beer, or a very odd choice for a desert!

Would you not prefer a draft yorkshire pudding otherwise known as Tetleys Mild

I have given up my search for the dessert menu and decided to order a banana split and see what happens. Bob's having his cheese again, anyone else before I go to the bar? :?:

In the real world I think it does pork pies with the Quiz, and gets a catering van ie pizza and the like on other ocassions. But of course we can have what we want. I'll again go back to the seventies and have a slice of black forest gateaux with a side order of a rumbaba just to see if they are actually edible, and maybe a slice of arctic roll to cleanse the palate if they are not.

I'm a bit fussy when it comes to drink. I'm only interested in ones that contain alcohol - so what ever looks interesting will do for me :-D If they've got any Becherovka, or failing that, Slivovice, then I'll finish the evening with one (or two) of them, please. I'll buy you a pint in return if I ever get out of this station car park :lol:

I don't drink much, as I have a low tolerance for alcohol (and I also have a very simple rule; if I am driving in the next 24 hours I will not drink any alcoholic drink). However, I have been told that, while it may look revolting, the Monkey Brains drink taste is great (I have yet to try one, but I do want to at some time). It is simple to make, but does need a steady hand.

Half fill a brandy glass with Lime Cordial (Roses is best, for the sharpness that is needed). Now slowly and evenly drizzle some Baileys into the glass. As the cream hits the cordial it curdles, and (if you do it right) will form a lump floating in the cordial, with convolutions that should make it look like a small monkey brain.
