(You seem sincere, so at the risk of killing the joke, I want to point out that both of my comments are deadpan humor! The phrase is indeed “fancy a cuppa”, and I’m intentionally getting it wrong, like the tea preparation instructions in the OP.)
That is only a bit worse than what British people do with their tea. OK, theirs is reasonably fresh, but they let the teabag sit in the pot for ages and they commit the serious, undefendable crime of adding milk.
Yes and but that’s just how the distinction is made. Prime example: Shiba/Akita “Inu”. Inu is literally dog. Yet it refers to the purebred dog of Japan, not the american shitmix (no shade, theres just not much consistency with what they’re mixed with). Language evolves over time, even the dumb evolutions.
You drown the flavour of the bergamote oil with the honey, and kill off most of the beneficient ingredients of the tea with the milk. What’s the point in using a tea bag in the first place?
I doubt it, but now I wonder what the biggest amount of tea that ended up in the ocean is and how to search for it. I know whole ships were lost, but digging through manifests (assuming they exist) wouldn't be fun. I also wonder how many in Asia there would have been, possibly before tea even gained popularity in the west.
That’s because Pyrex sold pyrex. There’s a difference between the capital and lowercase “p.” Actual Pyrex with the capital “P” is supposedly the original quality. Anchor Hocking is like pyrex, lowercase.
I could be remembering wrong but didn’t How To Cook That disprove that? Either way almost all of the uppercase P pieces of cookware ended up being borosillicate anyway
There is a difference between “pyrex” and “PYREX”, but the difference is which company owns it rather than necessarily what it’s made of.
However there is truth to it. European PYREX is now exclusively made from borosilicate glass (the original material). There is older PYREX brand stuff made of other materials, but new stuff is all borosilicate. All pyrex glass stuff is now soda-lime glass instead of borosilicate.
Basically, if you’re buying new, the brand is a fine indicator. But if you’re buying anything second hand, the logos won’t help you as all three variants of the branding (Pyrex, PYREX and Pyrex) have made products with both materials at various times.
This is exactly why we didn’t want you to have independence. You clearly weren’t ready. I mean the whole Trump issue was one thing, but this… This is just monstrous.
What’s worse? A smart guy pretending to be dumb while tearing apart a country? Or a dumb guy pretending to be smart while tearing apart a country? Silver lining on the latter is at least you see all the stuff they’re too dumb to hide.
I see your point, though I don’t necessarily see it as a good thing. “Calculated” can be much more damaging depending on what the goal of the calculation is.
I prefer to use one of my well-used coffee mugs. The one that’s heavily stained and makes everything taste like coffee no matter how many times you wash it.
