    Beer Garnishes

    Many years ago, there was a trend in the UK for serving Sol beer in the bottle with a wedge of lime in the neck of the bottle. This apparently baffled Mexicans, not so much for the lime but that the idea that Sol would be popular. Back there it was, maybe still is, considered to be of very low quality. Some wag responded by pushing a photograph of a bottle of Newcastle Brown with a sausage in the neck. I have searched for that image but sadly failed.

    I really like them a lot. They should be juicy.

    It seems the information I previously found on the giant tangerines mentioned upthread was incorrect. Rather than having been developed in Israel, it appears they were first bred in 1972 in Japan as a hybrid of Kiyomi and ponhan citruses. In Japanese, they are デコポン (dekopan). They are sometimes referred to as sumo mandarin or sumo citrus in English. An alternative name in Chinese, is 凸顶柑 (tū dǐng gān), literally 'protruding top tangerine'. They have been introduced into Australia and in limited numbers in the USA.

    Definitely not!
  9. In any other context, of all the surprisingly many meanings of today's word, the one they are using is possibly among the last I would think of.
  10. They're struggling to come up with relevant 5-letter words.
  11. That would depend where you said it. It is common in Scotland and northern England and is a corruption of assiette, the French term for plate.

    Obviously not all of dinner, but the best part. Uni on a bed of perilla leaf (shisho).
  13. Their definition of food terms is very wide. Today's food connection was at best tenuous.
  14. According to the link you posted, there are three producers. Anyway, I am downloading and give my impressions later.

    Every time you write that, my fading eyesight sees 'root canal' and the idea of root canal dough has me worried!
