When did you last eat spam? [... if ever]

Edit: Pressurised cream? Never bought that either, what's it made of?

Y'know... cream that comes out of a pressurised can like aerosol when you press the botton.

The Tip Top is in fact UHR cream topping (80% cream) - I thought it was non-cream, but ah well never mind. The usual non-healthy supplements in it, you know, invert sugar syrup, glucose, flavourings, thickener, carrageenan (whatever that is, don't bother!), propellant gas, nitrous oxide, possible traces of soya. Hmm it's put me right off now! Maybe I should just stick to the Anchor Original. The thing is, stores store Tip Top on their open shelves, not in their coolers; but in any case all these pressurised creams definitely last much longer than tubs, which is why I get them. I cycle off all the calories.

It's also been some time, but I think Angel Delight is still purchaseable - either that or the packets in my cupboard must be rather old! The chocolate one is almost a good as the butterscotch. A dollop of pressurised whipped cream on top is an essential addendum, imv. Truth be told I use Nestles' Tip Top.

Truth be told I have never tasted what they called on The Royle Family "squirty cream"

I would beg to differ that it is "essential". Sounds rather the opposite, given the litany of strange ingredients...

But, just now, looking on the Net, it says about Nestles Squirty Cream "Once opened keep refrigerated and consume within 14 days" But then, you do cycle daily .....
Maybe it's another thing I need to seek out in the supermarket? (I fear I may have to go in disguise when next shopping ....) Otherwise I may lose my street cred!

So that means you have squirty cream daily? Actually, I may get some, does it work on very strong espresso? That may be tempting ...

Oh you'll have to ask someone else as I don't indulge in espresso. Spoonful of Blend 37's my luxury. Typical unreconstructed bachelor in many ways, me...

Not squirty, one just pours it, but diabetic coz likes stuff called ElmLea. Very sickly and full of strange things but she thinks it good and safe for her. Has anyone tried it?

I'm an addict and... no... I think it would turn to sludge on hot espresso. It would probably curdle into lumps or something. Iles flottantes au café... Non merci !

[Nick Armstrong]

Ok, I've googled it. I want to vomit!

Don't worry, the R3 Forum isn't always like this! Welcome aboard

No, sorry saly, that's a new one on me. I don't really do sweet puddingy things.
I am custodian of Uncle Bill's journals from when he was a PoW in Stalag VIIA Moosburg (he was a Paratrooper captured Invasion of Sicily 1943, liberated 1945) I have his fantasy meals that he wrote in 1944 when the Red Cross parcels were drying up. I might post them, if they are of interest.

Oh, I'm sure, what with your new sports coats, you are quite the reconstructed metrosexual these days .... Although Blend 37 is not really terribly chi-chi is it?

It's my dad's sweet condiment of choice I've tried it - not bad on the old strawbs

What day is it? Might have been the previous Saturday.

You see, my wife is a native-born Puerto Rican (with a follow-up MA degree in Eng Lit).

Best consumed with red beans and rice!
