    I always thought smarties were made from chalk. Hmm, guess you live and learn. But it's still disusting to eat toenails even wif they have been washed. And how do you not get sleeping sickness from DRINKING a tsetse fly? Beyond me, tell you that

    Buff, frankly I would have thought that if you drink tequila that regularly sleeping sickness would be fairly normal.

    Friedrich, I always thought that the attitude of most people I have encountered, that no race is better or worse than any other, is rather childish. I do not want to come over as racist, but surley some peoples are better adapted to their environment than others and hense survive where others wouldent. This is mainly a cultural rather than physical thing (though come to think of it, I would say that dark skinned people are better adapted to life in equitorial areas than I am, being blonde and all) but if you took your average londoner and stuck them in the australian outback they wouldent last 15 minutes, an Aboriginal on the other hand would. I guess this is mostly nurture rather than nature but the idea of 'race' does involve culture as well so it makes sense.

    Couldn’t rightly say urqh. I’ve never tried eating the tubes? :confused:


    Wrong way round buff. The toenails are fermented in the brew but not included in the bottle. That would be ridiculous.

    The Tsetse fly is pickled whole in the bottle and doesn’t dissolve, (unlike the Cochineal), so can be chewed or swallowed as preferred.

    Any resultant blindness or failure to respond when a huge pair of wobblies walks bye and wafts primeval musk at the subject, is not due to any Tsetse content but the absinthe-like qualities of dissolved Cochineal. The somnambulant state attributed to the Tsetse is from the liquor extracted from North African Tsetse syrup, where a few drops are added to a gallon of water and brewed with one hop. This brew is referred to in the industry as N.A.T.s. and believed to be widely drunk in the USA under the guise of various brand names. Despite the fact one gallon is brewed with only one hop, Americans are noted for falling over and sleeping for considerable periods after as little as one bottle. :eek:

    Not the tubes...they though would be the healthy part...

    Cochineal....dont know if still are, but coating on smarties was originally cochineal..

    Next we go for American Coffee, weve done the beer...one hop, a gallon of water and one thing you missed out 9 the flavouring..the sweat off those horses that pull the Budwieser carts at the breweries.

    Now American Coffee....All of the above but no hop, and for flavouring one tube of brown shoe polish...

    Not the tubes??? Oh dear, I got that wrong :confused:

    I could never manage a whole packet of Smarties. The brown ones put me off as they are too similar to rabbit droppings rolled in sugar. Yuck!!! Should be dipped in mustard. Again, I don’t know much about cochineal and red Smarties, but always though it fascinating the colour was named after a Chiricahua Apache Chief of the 1800’s. However, I would say the Smartie must be redder then he would have been?

    Always learn something new here. Never appreciated horse sweat was vital to American beer. Makes sense actually, they do have a lot of horses. All ours do is eat hay and deplete the ozone layer. :(

    Very interesting about their coffee. If the flavouring comes from shoe polish, by the time you add the Public Health Department specification fluorated water and the Public Health Department specification synthetic Super Sweetie Sweet Sweetener, there’s no point in including the coffee bean which itself is a product of under privileged countries under totalitarian regimes and strictly speaking in contravention the American Restricted Free Trade Policy (group 14, subsection 49b), stipulating that America will only import from independent democratic countries which it controls. :eek:
