No details yet. He says he will post about it at length tomorrow and it will be worth the wait. So this is just a placemarker for the moment.

Once again we have a thread mentioning food and I like everything. I'm either unfussy or just a greedy bastard!

You are all wrong, apart from @GriseldaandMike and I acknowledge @murasaki is mostly right.

@ErrolTheDragon I also have to agree with you. My DH (the Walrus) does cook celery and put it in with the roast veg and I can't taste it. I assume it enhances the meal, but everything he makes is bloody delicious, with extra deliciousness because I don't have to lift a finger - I have no idea how our new convection hob works.

But the rest of you - wrong.

Fortunately I am a sensible lion who is happy to be friends with people who enjoy foodstuffs I don't, so it won't affect my love for you all.

I'll take that!

Umm just dropping this here, Neideregger make a marzipan liqueur, (which is also amazing in hot chocolate) not sure if you can get in the UK Lűbeck is a beautiful city to visit, but I didn’t think the Neideregger cafe was that amazing sadly, although the window displays of what you can make out of marzipan were impressive.

I would totally try that!

murasaki · 06/08/2026 15:05

I find disaronno does the job re marzipanish liqueur, also in hot chocolate.

My best friend is not allowed it when out with me for as some reason even a tiny amount sends her snooker loopy. In her own house, crack on love! I'll tidy up.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 06/08/2026 15:05

Also I like celery both as a stick to dip into things and as a sauce/soup/stew ingredient.

Oh lord, not another mallow and tunnocks related love in. You are all batshit. How can so many, otherwise intelligent, interesting and educated women be so consistently wrong?

Tunnocks wafers are the snack of disappointment. Like when you are hoping for proper chocolate or decent biscuits and all you get is an bastarding wafer. And mallow is just sickly sweet pointlessness.

I have to question my feminist credentials at times, I really do.

This is without a doubt the single wrongest opinion ever uttered on Mumsnet.

Which is impressive, given that this is a forum where we regularly get told by certain posters that up is down, left is right, black is white and men are most definitely women.

This is all well and good, but what we really want to know is whether you are made from Lion Bar wrappers or not?

Oh, perhaps you aren't my long lost twin after all. Even cooked celery is vile 🤢 - I can detect homeopathic quantities when someone tries to sneak it in to food.

I should also mention to declare a conflict of interest that I’ve always found dunking biscuits in hot drinks disgusting!

BiologicalRobot · 06/08/2026 15:24

EdithStourton · 06/08/2026 09:43

Root beer tastes like Euthymol toothpaste.

Both are disgusting.

My dad used to have that and wouldn't use anything else, while the rest of the family had Aquafresh (with 3 stripes!). It was absolutely vile. And pink. And very medicinal tasting. Bleugh.

I can vouch for Lidl caramel wafers as being very similar to the FWR staple.

MyrtleLion · 06/08/2026 13:27

Frankly marzipan, celery and root beer are the work of the devil. Do not get me started on Dr Pepper. It is genuinely evil.

This is the truth.

💜you, Myrtle.

I shall have to consider that for a while....

SidewaysOtter · 06/08/2026 15:33

@MyrtleLion I respectfully disagree on the marzipan, I've not tried root beer but celery is the work of the devil.

Celery as a stick is preferable to chopped though. Makes it easier to lob it into the bin in one go.

I cannot bear the idea of dunking things into a drink. Mushy biscuit and BITS in your drink <shudder>

But pleasurable. Oh so pleasurable!

I hate it when I get the timing wrong and half a Rich Tea or Digestive falls into the cup and turns my tea into a heap of soggy crumbs. Ginger Nuts reliably don't do this.

murasaki · 06/08/2026 15:38

Ginger nuts and bourbons. Dunking anything else is off the table for me. And only in coffee or hot chocolate as I loathe tea (apart from honey , ginger and lemon, that's the only acceptable tea for me, no dunking allowed in that).

Judge me as you will.

Dunking Bourbons <sucks in breath> ooh, dunno about that. OK, maybe in hot chocolate.

Rich Tea tastes best for dunking in tea (it'sin the name!) but the risk of biscuit collapse makes it a delicate operation.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 06/08/2026 16:03

Biscuit crumbs are going to detach and fall in no matter how careful you are

True, but you can mitigate it by choosing a more structurally sound biscuit. And moderating the length of dunking. It's a science, dontcha know.
