Burney - you seem to have closed that thread, but re the avocado

[WES]

are you taking the piss? It is a truly wonderful foodstuff that enhances pretty much everything.

I can understand a traditionalist not wanting it with breakfast, but how could anyone not like dunking Doritos into freshly made guacamole?

Sublime.

Yeah, I'm the one that looks a total c*nt on this thread.

I am largely with B on this one. Avocado is basically a bit ****.

You've missed this one, Peter. Avocado is the Manuel Almunia of the food world for you.

I will however agree with you on something I believe you posted recently on gin and tonic. I have become quite the gin and tonic fiend over the past few years, can't imagine life without them. I even drink tonic on its own when I decide to have an alcohol free night. Don't ask why I do that, but I do.

Anyway, point is that after wasting too much money on expensive gin I have decided that you really don't need anything better than Tanqueray. They key is not the gin, it is the tonic. And what you have with it.

Fever Tree is the daddy here. Provided you manage to avoid the Refreshingly Light (this means diet) nonsense that they sell far too much of.

I have recently got into gin, having avoided it for 30 years after throwing up on Gordons gin. You are correct about Fever Tree, I generally stick to Hendricks with cucumber with fever tree, although did discover a nice tonic in Sainsburys with peppercorn

LA, how is the Guinness in Germany?

I am thinking of popping to Berlin for a couple of days and am going to need a drink

Scandalously, I have actually tried it in a pub in Berlin when I watched Everton Man City League cup semi (I think). Near the Museum Insel. It was inoffensive but I wouldn't recommend it - only ever had two pints of it in Munich and would say similar. Then again I wasn't too keen on the local brew either and one night I wandered around for ages trying to find a bar selling Augustiner, despite it being -12, there was 3 inches of snow on the ground and I could only hobble due to a severely swollen and painful knee. I loved the city though
