Today I have decided that Pimms is not really very nice.

Crashing headache aside.

I like mint on new potatoes, but I don't think I like a giant leaf of it swishing about in my mouth.

The strawberry bits go soggy.

It's too sweet.

It's brown.

It's frothy on the top, and that's manky seashore gopping frothy, not lovely mousse frothy.

It is either way, way too strong (hence headache) or too weak and you have to drink 7 glasses of brown lemonade to feel even slightly giddy.

I'm not going to have it again this summer. I shun Pimms, in all its numbers.

Noooo! Don't pollute perfectly good champers or sparkling wine with that vile Pimm's!

That's a travest against champagne.

apple stays firm and goes fizzy too

Ibuprofen just taken expat

No I care not for firm & fizzy apples and cucumber.

I don't like Pimms anymore. It's off my list for the rest of the season.

Better with ginger ale rather than lemonade. And a slug of Gin to sharpen it up a bit (it's much weaker than it used to be about 10 uyears ago)

I can't stand the stuff it tastes like medicine.

Slubberdegullion · 20/07/2008 21:30

Well it's obviously a marmite thing, love it or hate it.

My pendulum has swung riiiiight over into hate today.

I LOVE Pimms!!!

Does make you puke though, when you drink it by the pint (classy bird, me)

Has anyone tried the Winter Pimms? - it's yum - we had it at our wedding reception

Slubberdegullion · 20/07/2008 21:36

I have an unopened bottle in the drink cabinet (gift from FIL). I am now a little about it. Please tell me it is not just benylin to go in warm red wine with cinnamon sticks and orange slices floating in it.

Too sweet, really.

I like a mojito or Campari.

But have ben known to neck back Pimms - I always imagine I enjoy it, but don't when i stop to think about it.

expatinscotland · 20/07/2008 21:39

If I had an opened bottle of it I would re-gift it.

Slubberdegullion · 20/07/2008 21:42

I expect (lovely) FIL will want it served during the festive season. He sees it as his mission in life to keep us well stocked in strange weirdy coctails. If it wasn't for him we would have two bottles in there: Blue Sapphire and Tallisker
