Wanna Brew?

'Dietry Specials' do a twin pack of white bread for £1.99, which has about 20 slices of bread in it. However, given that gluten-free bread is half the size of a normal slice of bread, you need about four slices per portion. So I would say one portion of gluten free bread equals the same cost of one loaf of normal bread!!!

And I think tea has the more caffiene, or not a lot in it.

Tea.

I now have it decaff. Milk (skimmed) and NO sugar!

Coffee is the vilest thing in world. After Osama Bin Laden and Jason Gillespie's hair of course.

I'm definitely a tea man. I have only ever drunk coffee (about three times) when at least slightly intoxicated, and twice it had salt in it. The smell of coffee gives me a headache.

When I finish work, the reason I look forward to getting home is because I can have a cup of tea whith a pile of biscuits. Rich tea are the best plain dip (despite Peter Kay's reservations) while I'm also going through a cookie phase, although you have to be careful not to dip along the 'grain', as they fall apart easily then. Chocolate digestive/rich tea/malted milk are also good, but only one per cup (two on extravagant days). Plain digestives are acceptable in a crisis, but should be avoided if alternatives are available. Hobnobs are right out! Don't ever try feeding me a hobnob, chocolate or otherwise. Peter Kay may consider them to be the marines of the biscuit world ('Dip me again!') but they are only good for feeding to dogs in my opinion. Malted Milk are ace, but always present a dilemma: dip them, and eat the soggy bit; or eat them dry so you can accurately munch around the cow. I used to munch around the cow, but am more inclined to dip them these days.

Sadly, as Lemming has moved out, he's no longer my tea-making bitch - I have to make my own. It still tastes good though.

I'm now at work, and should probably do a bit more before I leave, but I'm tempted to go home for my tea and biscuits now.

I'm just going to have to be different here, I prefer Hot Chocolate to either Tea or Coffee!

Enjoying a decent mug of tea (cups to small) and troughing through a box of broken buscuits like a propper fat bastard. And by golly, I've earnt it today !

But you can still answer the question Alison, and of course should. If I can reiterate the only two options are the two most common hot beverages (namely tea and coffee), and the question asks you which you would take if offered both, let us assume you are parched and need to choose!

Thanks,

I drink both tea and coffe, but more tea than coffee. I drink PG tips or Earl/Lady gray. I'll also drink russian tea and quite like lapsung sushung tea. As a youngster Sri lankan school friends introduced me to the delight s of kandy, darljeling and so on. However a cup of "builders brew" ( milky strong tea with 2 sugars)

I've been known (when very tired) to make a cup of coffee and dangle a tea bag in it and throw the resulting conconction (coftea) away.
I also drink mint tea. My wife won't make tea as she says mine is incomparable.
i've no idea about ground coffe, either 'sock juice' or 'caffeine rush'.
As for biccis, well pass the cake . Too many faves to list (a la tea time fat cat!)

[Alison]

But that's not nearly so much fun! Besides it usually depends how I'm feeling as I'm quite happy with either.

So how are you feeling now Alison?

Would you at this point prefer a cup of tea or coffee? You MUST choose at least one!

Now that you have your answer in your mind, keep it there.....

....keep it there....

....keep it there....

....VOTE! VOTE, ALISON, VOTE NOW!!!!
