hahaha, that was great. Well done all four of you (inc dog).

I think your main mistake was eating the pork scratchings straight after chocolate. That is not a good combination! They should go really well with a nice beer.

Speaking of which there is a beer festival running near my house and I'm off there tonight. With luck they'll have some nice big fresh scratchings on sale, none of this artificial stuff!

that was fantastic, genuinly 'laugh out loud'

I especially liked Tanner - "OMG! there's a /hair/ on it!!!"

The chocolates were all very good, I really really liked that one with the honey in it. I've had something like it before but I can't remember what it is. And the Boost bar is very good! The only one I didn't really care for was the Curly Wurly, and that's only because the caramel was so think it was hard to chew!

Now those scratchings... those are just /wrong/. Do you seriously eat them? I assumed they were for playing joke no foreigners.

if I bring home pork scratchings for my wife she is happier than if I gave her flowers - actually, flowers just make her suspicious...

Curly Wurlys are nicer if they're warmed up a bit, I think, as otherwise like you say they're a bit tough. Although, by the time you get to the end of to the end of one it's usually softened up enough anyway.

The honey one was a Crunchie. They're awesome.

:'D

The stuff in the Crunchie is puff candy (at least that's what it's called up here).

 

You can make it at home dead easy, too!

Ahhhahaha! Can't believe your dog wouldn't even eat it. Sometimes you get lucky with pork scratchings and get a nipple.

 

I have no idea where that puts the scores. Somebody figure it out.

Man, just my luck. A nipple would have made me piss myself!

I don't know but everything we've tried so far has been very good!

I'd say the Curly Wurly is something I'd associate more with younger kids, where they enjoy the chomping experience as much as the taste. I love the burning comment about Crunchie, the stuff inside is /very/ similar to cinder toffee, which tastes even more like burning, but I love it.

 

I don't eat pork scratchings, even over here most people would avoid them, fans of the stuff are rare but once you get one they adore it.

 

Good vid.

I think if it were a little softer it would be better (for me) but I can see how people would enjoy eating it - The Curly Wurly that is.

And the others, that Boost and Crunchie were very good. I'd eat those all the time if we had them here!

I'm convinced that people there will pretty much eat anything that doesn't eat them first!

Thanks!!

All I know is that /shit/ is pretty bad. So bad the dog refused to eat it!

But it was a great time seeing Tanner's reaction to it!

Curly Wurlys used to be /massive/. At least double the size they are now.

 

Leading one annoying and shit Scottish comedien to say "There's not a man alive that can satisfy a woman like a good 12 inches of Curly Wurly"

Just got around to watching the video, you guys are hilarious. :D

 

I totally agree with you about the pork scratchings, I tried one years ago /in/ a pub and /with/ a beer. It just made the beer taste greasy!

 

I am also a sympathiser with your view on black pudding.

 

Maybe I'm more suited to the 'merkan diet!

:-) The fact that the dog wouldn't even eat them just cracks me up! He licks his own ass!

Overall I really like the candies and chocolate!

Yeah I can't blame you about that black pudding stuff. Although I'm sure there are a few people who can't stand it over there. It would be silly to think that just because you're from an area on earth you enjoy the same things as everyone else who is from that area.

Glad you liked the video! We are having a blast making them! Going to do another later tonight, if I can keep my eyes opened. So sleepy...

Pork scratchings from the Ealing Beer Festival! Yum.

Dis/cust/ing!

We call it sponge toffee in Canada. In fact, it even says that right on the Crunchie bar.

Is it just me, or do they look like old curly toe-nails?

 

I'm with Ken, they look foul.

I FORGOT TO SEND MORE CHOCOLATES. And now can't till Wednesday.
