Tea🍵 🇬🇧

I'm pretty much the opposite. I can't drink coffee. I don't like the smell.

I also don't do and fruit teas. It's not proper tea.

@NR_DaddyI knew I was going to get chastised for my tea choice!😂 I have more proper teas also. It was just what I had yesterday. It was twinnings though.

I'm not chastising lol ... it's just not british hahaha .... and I was only giving my opinion.

Not many people here drink twinings. Mostly it's PG Tips, Tetley, or Yorkshire Tea as everyday teas.

@NR_Daddy I have some PG & Yorkshire on my list.

But I learned something new today. The Orange chocolate comes in regular bar form? Not just the breaking orange? 🤯 And there's an Advent calendar? These are very exciting revelation.!

[NR_Daddy]

PG is okay, but not strong enough a tea for me. They do a stronger variety but I have others I prefer.

So Terry's, who do the orange chocolate ball, also do orange chocolate bars.

Cadbury's also do orange chocolate buttons, Fingers (chocolate covered shortbread biscuit) in orange and an orange chocolate Twirl bar.

Personally I don't like orange choc but plenty of people do.

@NR_Daddy Let me guess. You like dark chocolate?

We only get the break apart Terry's oranges her and only at Christmas time ...my favorite time for treats. We might get a peppermint one also, but only at Christmas. I'm not obsessed with orange chocolate, but it's something a bit different. Bars and buttons would be handy.

What you're really saying is I'm going to have to spend all my American $'s on British treats. Tea and chocolates! Too bad I can't have a Tesco meal deal shipped. I think I'd be a fan of those!

Not at all, I only eat one type of dark chocolate and that's after eights.

I'm not a fan of ready meals. I make everything from scratch.

If you want to try a typical English meal, you could also try mince and potatoes. Seperate and boil the minced beef for about 10-15 mins til cooked, add gravy granules (I use Compton's gravy salt) and thicken with cornflour whisked into water. I also have carrots and broccoli with that and also Yorkshire Puddings.

@NR_Daddy No importing British treats.. or non healthy pre made food...got it 

Ok, so what then? You like cakes and strong teas, but not biscuits or chocolate?

Oh I do like biscuits and chocolates, but try to have a balance and restrict myself from buying too much of the naughty stuff. I already cut back on indulging to protect my waistline 😂

@NR_Daddy okay fine. I suppose that all sounds very sensible.
