I think Feek was talking about having not been to that bar, not Edinburgh itself.

LordSplodge · 2 Dec 2005 at 21:36

Well I am back from the pub and still sore that Feek's beer thread had more replies than mine.

I had a pint (amongst others!) of Falstaffs Mind Storm a pale ale and by god it was awful. Good job it was only £1.39

Feek · 2 Dec 2005 at 21:36

I've been to Edinburgh many times, but not that place. Burbs, you're on

That's not my nose!

I've never been into the bars up that way, mainly because it's a bit of a distance. Feek, if you can be bothered looking up multimap, look for Bristo Square. The Pear Tree is just off it, going towards Nicholson St (or Clerk St, whatever it is at that point).

Excellent

I'll drop you an email nearer the time with my mobile number so we can find each other at the airport in Edinburgh.

I thought Feek was a decent chap but after the photo fit and the fact his pint goes under his mouth hes going to be drinking for a long night, reminds my alcohol nerve is twitching.

We need a geekzoid name for computer people socially drinking over their Keyboards

loving the feek

Don't worry Feek. It was, of course, all my fault for steping on your teritory.

I always respect my olders...now I am off to get some Golden Glory to get rid of the taste of that awful pint I had when out.

/edit I also have a proper "real ale" drinking glass

Morrisons do Bombadier - the finest beer about. You (and everybody else) should sample this stuff!

Lol the blurring is because I've alreadly had some of these this evening and couldn't hold the camera steady on zoom.

Oh man, even blurry that looks good.

Are pork scratchings like Jillies or Bacon Fries?? Please tell..

Pork scratchings are crispy pork fat. And they rock

Feek · 2 Dec 2005 at 22:13

Marston's Oyster Stout.

This is an export beer, it looks like greek writing on the back and it's just not readable. Luckily I spotted this in the shop and I, er, borrowed the thing off the shelf.

This 4.5% brew is very dark as expected and the flavour is almost as described. It's not overpowering, but I'm not sure I'd call it full bodied though. It's OK and is certainly smooth, clean and dry. No noticable aroma.

Agreed. They are basically as I described above, fat deep fried in fat and they do rock. Black Country Pork Scratchings are the bestest!

Oh right. I'd call that 'Crackling'. I think it's the same thing. You chew on it like a dog.

Isn't Pork Crackling when you rub the pork joint in salt and honey though and roast it?

Well, the stuff you get in packets isnt quite like crackling. Its crunchy in places and soft in others, and not really chewy. I have absolutely no idea how its made! "Seasoned pork rind" is what it says on the packet.

Feek never hugs me or MSNs me

maybe thats not such a bad thing
