Got into the snooty world of loose leaf at uni.Tea is fun and no one questions you really a pack of chocolate hob nobs in one sitting if your tea has flowers floating in it

What did you think might have changed in order for people in the UK to stop drinking tea?

SatyrSack ,

VanHalbgott OP ,

The rise of other beverages in the country.

Like coffee and sodas.

No love for the God tier hovis biscuit?

Yup. Carrs or Jacob’s or oatcakes with any decent cheese is a good snack.

To add: this is what I had for lunch today: Jacob's cream crackers, Nairn's oatcakes, Double Gloucester and Lancashire Blacksticks Blue - served with celery, pickled shallots, and a nice red apple.

Yes, big fan of Carr's Table Water Biscuits and a bit of blue.

Oh and also with a bit of Lurpak for a wee treat.

I know this will piss off british ppl but the brits dont drink tea. They drink warm (not hot, warm) milk with a flavor of tea (from a bag btw).

Well that's a good way to get Brits riled up. Next, you'll be saying that biscuits are French. 😱

The UK still imports £223m in tea a year. It has gone down since COVID. £271m.

But yes tea is still a very popular drink in the UK.

Syltti , in What's your go to lunch during the week?

A Ghost energy drink.

blackn1ght OP ,

Is it better than pussy?

Syltti ,

That is fucking brilliant, and OF COURSE it's British! Sadly, I live in the States. I highly doubt I could get my hands on this here.

I like OG Tabasco on eggs rather than siracha.

But otherwise, the beauty of working from home is that lunch can be pretty varied. That said, if I can find some decent tomatoes then nothing much beats a really good BLT. Mmmm.

I usually grab a couple of falafel and a small handful of nuts. I have recently thrown a few grapes into the mix. Which, when typed out, does suggest my life is just a series of double entendres.

Hossenfeffer ,
@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk avatar

Bet that's quite the mouthful! Bet that fills you up! Maybe add some nice plums?

Emperor ,
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

Plums and a sausage!

KillerTofu , in What's your go to lunch during the week?

When I make dinner I always plan an extra portion for lunch.

If not that, then a lunch of snacks. Crackers, cheese, some fruit.

Diplomjodler3 , in What's your go to lunch during the week?

I go to whatever has the shortest queue in the dining hall.
