Play-dough, chocolate, &c

This thread continues the discussion which was going on at the end of the "Peanut-bloody-butter" thread... and, for what it's worth, I like chocolate and I like crisps, but the thought of mixing the two does not appeal!

My brothers used to eat peanut butter, pickle and potato chip sandwiches, which I think is completely disgusting, but what can I say, they were kids.

They also used to eat that homemade playdough, too.

Since we're talking about crisps, you can't get the tomato sauce flavored ones here. I miss them.

For Tracy: clarifying something from the old thread....a malteser is a malted milk ball, only more delicate (and better, in my humble opinion).

chocolate and crisps: bleugh. I'd imagine that as tasting something similar to chocolate and bread... which is something that shouldn't be done.... on the other hand, I'll try lots of things once.

as for play-dough.... wonderful smell, but not a very edible one.

What's really disgusting is those places that sell chocolate-covered insects (ants, grasshoppers, etc). Haven't worked up the courage to try those, yet.

My grandma used to try and get my brother and I to eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

I think that was Elvis's favorite food.

Deep fries peanut butter and banana sandwiches were Elvis favourites. Which kinda explains his waist-line and slight problem of having heart-attacks whilst sitting on toilets (loo, bathroom, dunny....)

I bet Elvis' mum didn't make his PlayDough, that's what's at the root of his problems.

Can I tell my favourite Elvis joke now please? Oh, go on? Please? PLEASE? *stamps foot*

Thanks...

A biker chick goes to get a tattoo of Elvis on her upper thigh and when the artist has completed it, she complains it doesn't look much like The King.
She asks him to do it again on the other thigh, and this time to "do it right". This times it comes out perfect, but the biker chick complains again that it dosn't look like Elvis Presley. As she is standing in the doorway without anything on, a biker passes by. She grabs him and asks him, "who do they look like to you"? The biker answers, "I don't know who the two guys on the ends are, but the one in the middle sure looks just like Willie Nelson......"

I don't get it

& why was the other thread closed? It wasn't very long.

It had gone to 112 posts, and the "crustimony proseedcake" around here has been to stop at 100. I was actually hoping someone else would close it, because I often seem to be the one who ends up doing that, but nobody did, so I did.

I don't get it either, Dell, but I think it may be rather vulgar.

100 posts is very short to close a thread at. You can't get a proper discussion in so few posts. Especially not with the amount of people who post here.

100 posts is very short to close a thread at.

With the way the fforum works, it's not. You may be happy with scrolling down several pages to get to the 1 post you haven't read, but I'm not.

You can't get a proper discussion in so few posts.

Which is why the thread is (in effect) 'moved' by opening a new one with a related title. Discussion carries on, less people get RSI through scrolling, chocolate is good and here comes that coffee I was promised earlier.

Ah, broadband! If you haven't got it (I have now) it takes forever to download a thread with 99 posts. Stop at 99, please. No thread survives to 99 posts without being wildly off topic, so why not start new ones? Lol.

I agree about not mixing chocolate with crisps. Peanut butter & crisp sandwiches, OK, although it's years since I've had any of them... Adding pickle (of what kind?) as well doesn't sound very nice to me.

Recipe_ 'Peanut-butter sandwiches a la Duchess': Cut two slices from a loaf of white bread. Apply a moderate coating of peanut butter (either smooth or crunchy, depending on personal taste...) to the upper surface of one slice. Sprinkle generously with black pepper, freshly ground if possible. Place the other slice of bread on top of this.

I wonder how well peanut butter and (a gentle drizzling of) Worcester Sauce might go together? One to try when I get home this evening...
