Wtf LeVar?? First it was dogs. Now it's toast?!

Well for what its worth I would rather eat a slice of Toast than spend time around a Dog...

So to re-cap

Cat > Dog

Toast > Dog

Dog loses both battles, so the big questions is what wins in Toast vs Cat...

Never thought it would be something I'd have to compare, but these are the sort of things that happen in this great corner of the world that is Forum Games...

Still allergic to them, but...

Gotta go with Cat

Cat > Toast > Dog

Next it will be beans

Now if only there were a food quiz! It seems to be the only thing in life that I can confidently say I know what I'm taking about

One of the easiest things in the world, and awesome spread on toast

Just looked it up, takes 3hrs apparently :eek:

Controversial opinion, but Toast is over-rated.

Ham and Cheese Toastie on occasion is superb (especially if you're in a pub with a few pints down you), but outside of that I don't really get the appeal...

if you put the tin, unopened, in boiling water it turns into caramel. Might have to look for a tin next time I go shopping!

That scares the life out of me, boiling an unopened tin of anything for hours.

No stunts pulled here, I just buy the already made caramel!

The only thing I can ever be arsed to bake/make is banoffee

But not too often because I'll be eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner

When it comes to cooking, if I can't just simply add heat to something, I'm usually just not bothered....

On the topic of milk, when preparing a cappucino, do you add coffee or milk first?
My coffee machine adds the milk first but if I was making it I would add the coffee first

Coffee first always.

Its amazing for making toffee / caramel. If you have a sweet tooth you will have eaten it at one stage or another, in one form or another.

Ah yeah, I'm sure I've had it on many occasion in something, I just don't get enjoyment out of cooking or baking, so I wouldn't go out of my way to make anything, so I would never have paid much attention to the baking ingredients aisle in the supermarket...

I had a Vietnamese coffee stout last week, and I was surprised that it was so sweet until my wife told me that Vietnamese coffee was a thing. I had just assumed it was where the coffee beans for the stout had come from. I don't drink coffee, but it was really nice beer.

So in the Walrus sign up threads the host will have different categories such as:

Songs to wake up to
Songs to eat breakfast to
Etc.

You make your selection for the categories (normally a single song in each) and PM them to the game host who proceeds to listen to them and ranks them in order of their preference.

Ah grand. I was overthinking it then. Didnt think it could be that simple lol. I do enjoy the music ones so may jump into the next one

Still no idea what it is, but the Celebrating 120 years and the fact it's been knocking about since 1899 does confirm it is old... :pac:

Dafuq is Carnation Condensed Milk? Is that an old person thing? Was it part of the rations for WWII or something?

You can't just throw a statement like that out there and not tell the backstory of it. That's both oddly specific and random enough to have a back story. :pac:

Many years ago a group of about of 8 us had the first ever BGRH forum meet up. Obviously none of us knew each other, so we had no idea how we'd recognise one another. Someone jokingly suggested that we do the old film thing of wearing a carnation in your lapel. That was dismissed as being silly and that everyone should adopt the far more sensible approach of bringing a tin of Carnation condensed milk instead, which most people did. It then became a condition of coming to your first BGRH beers that you had to bring a tin of Carnation condensed milk. This culminated in the epic Night of a Thousand Corsets beers which resulted in a significant tower of condensed milk, all of which was taken home by one of the forum regulars and converted into the world's largest banoffi mountain. We even had a beers in Germany once, to which condensed milk was brought. Obviously we had standards, and should you bring a can of Carnation evaporated milk or, even worse, non-Carnation condensed milk, you were opening yourself up for at least an evening's worth of abuse. Somehow over the years the condensed milk requirement was adopted by some other forums so, while it's now pretty much defunct and most of the regulars no longer post on Boards, a little bit of BGRH lives on.

Can someone explain how Walrus works? Specifically where you PM the games organiser a music choice?

I was going to enter a game the other day but hadn't a clue what to do.

Found forum games by chance when a Sheep popped up on the main page and I joined in cos who doesnt enjoy a good sheep
