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.

Boo.

That photo makes them look quite frightening, I agree. They looked more appetising in the flesh, but they're not an aesthetic food it has to be said.

Beeling Ear Festival, more like!

 

(Is "beeling" purely a Glasgwegian/Scots word, or does it translate? I'll be pure beelin' if it doesn't.)

Sorry, that's a new one for me! I like the sound of it though. Explain!

It means angry, but tends to expess impotent anger or embarassment.
"Ah missed ma bus, and the driver wouldnae let us oan at the traffic lights. Ah wiz beelin' so a wuz."

 

Also used when taking pleasure in another's misfortune (wee fuds are big on schadenfreude, so they are):
"Haw, look at that bam tryin' tae get on the bus! Haw big man, ye're pure beelin' noo, ya faaaaaaaanny!"

 

Most likely a corruption of "boiling".

ace. I'm having some of that for sure.
