I pretended to be a hebrew and it was well worth it. Obviously the subterfuge wasn't going to last if they dug too deeply, mind.

Mine comes from Dublin 16, not Hong Kong, and it’s f**king rank. As it has been on most occasions I have ever had it.

The sweet & sour flavour from a Thai for example, lovely. Even an indian, lovely.

Chinese, rank.
