Tea and Brown Sauce

Foxhound38

Was watching Intermission for the first time in years the other day and it peaked my interest with this little "recipe" they were going on about for the whole film.

Tried it there, just a teaspoon full mixed in with the tea - not too sure what I think about it yet...

Anyone else ever try this?

No. Tea is sacred. You do not mess with tea.

Foxhound38

I'd rather do this than ruin it with shovelfulls of sugar as I see many people doing

Lattes and salad cream is where it's at

I've never tried this either. What happened when you mixed it in? Did it dissolve or congeal into blobs at the bottom? Cos this kind of thing could ruin a perfectly good cup of tea! :O

So is it hitting the spot?

Brown sauce is for ****.

Marmite for real men.

Real Dubs mix heroin with their tea.

You should try that for authenticity!

It just sort of dissolved into it with a bit of an aul stir. Didn't add milk as my guess would be that it would curdle instantly, which would be unpleasant

That's fcuking delish man!

Almost right there, your highness...

HP or Chef?!

I don't drink tea myself. Never liked it. Please don't judge too harshly, it's a tough cross to bear in this country. Any chance the brown sauce actually made it taste better??

Vincent Vega

Anybody else consider YR a 'brown sauce' too despite its taste being completely off the brown chart?

That's fine. That's not messing with the tea.

I don't really like tea..




I'm getting deported or something am I not?

Delish man

although I'd only actually (potentially) ruin one cup of tea, I've yet to try this. The thoughts of instantly having to make another cups of tea are too horrifying to bear.

Make two at the same time? One with brown sauce and one without.

It's possibly the most disgusting thing I have ever drank.

It's undelish.

For the summer, iced tea with piccalilli served in a chilled martini glass (note: make sure to use a silverskin onion from the picalilli for garnish).

OP you know not everything in movies is true, right?

Talib Fiasco

Yeah I've tried it too and it's not very nice. However brown sauce on toast is unreal. Using brown sauce as a replacement for butter/jam/marmalade. It sounds like it'd be awful but it works really well.

Tea with flavoured syrup. Fruitea!!! :pac:

Tried it with a friend when we first watched Intermission, lobbed a load of it into freshly made tea, managed to gulp a few disgusting mouthfuls without puking. It was the realisation a few seconds later that the brown sauce had curdled the milk, leaving little floating bits of mass vileness in the tea that finally brought the contents of my stomach up into the sink. Ah, the joys of living away from home for the first time!!

Pang

'Tis vile.

Wish I had never felt the need to try it.

I don't drink tea unless it is made for me. Maybe, next time my personal slave is brewing one up, I can ask for a bita brown too.

When I say brown I do not mean heroin either, although... I am from Dublin

Delayed Troll remains effective.



On an Intermission trivia note I once met two of the (11!!) producers of Intermission in a ski lift at the Telluride festival, I think they were still drunk from the Vanity Fair party the previous night. We had been invited but were too jetlagged to attend (anyway, you are supposed to ignore celebrities at Telluride and pretend you don't know who they are) We asked how the party was; the response "I have never talked such almighty shite in me life, it was fucking great!"

I saw the US Premiere of Intermission later that day and the opening scene was accompanied by the horrified gasps of the Americans and the hysterical laughter of five or six expats who got the funny.

Opening scene if you have never seen it.

Heading down = driving along.
Greenhills road = Greenhills road.
Stroked jammer = stolen car.
....... (winks eye) = obviously.
