Chick, if I thought it was really a "hating" thread I would never have joked with you about it.

Yo Dude - go bake something. . . merkin style

Sundae · 04-15-2010, 03:10 PM

I got the cups and spoons... I might just do that!

classicman · 04-15-2010, 03:13 PM

DOOO ITTT

I was expecting, and admittedly a lil disappointed, a whole thread about your cooking with all this crazy merkin stuff.

Sundae · 04-15-2010, 03:47 PM

Sorry babba.
It's just been that I've mostly been dieting since Christmas.
Oh, except when I was in Amsterdam... I've given photo evidence of that so I can hardly deny...

I'll tell you something though. The 'rents are hooked on Merkin pancakes. Mum has now bought her SECOND bottle of real Maple Syrup (from M&S - they do things properly). And making them without Merkin measurers (is that even a word?) wouldn't be possible.

Oh - we're still using J&J's packet pancake mixes. Yes, we're getting short on them now, but that's not a hint - we're also getting fat!

classicman · 04-15-2010, 03:57 PM

No sweat. - I was just guessing anyway.

FWIW - How much is the REAL maple syrup there?

DanaC · 04-15-2010, 04:01 PM

I paid a little over £4 for a bottle last week.

Sundae · 04-15-2010, 04:07 PM

£6 is the cheapest I've seen here.

classicman · 04-15-2010, 06:56 PM

thats what like $8? That seems cheap to me.

Clodfobble · 04-15-2010, 07:14 PM

Current exchange rate puts £6 at $9.30. It depends on how big the bottle is, of course, but they run from $11 to $15 in my grocery store.

DanaC · 04-15-2010, 07:38 PM

330 gram bottle.

Edgar Wright (Director of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) is also a huge Who fan. At the time Spaced was written/ broadcast, we were still in a Who desert. Therefore there are far more references to Star Wars - Tim was supposed to be an obsessive but not completely a geek. Or at least not such a hopeless geek that he revered a programme that had burnt out (during the first series of course - second series addressed the new trilogy of Star Wars).

Had Dr Who not been on hiatus during Spaced I'm sure there would have been more references. But as Dani says, they are horses of a completely different colour.

The League of Gentlemen (shoehorned in again) for example were all fans (Pemberton is a Gent) but never referenced it. Mark Gatiss has written Dr Who novels, episodes and appeared in one (as Professor Lazurus) but still, in a series heavy on film and TV references from their childhoods, there was no Who. But if you listen to their commentaries (esp the guest commentary on The Blood on Satan's Claw which makes me laugh even now) you can tell what a big fans Gatiss and Dyson are.

Syrup - growing up - Log Cabin. Adult - rela 100%. Old fart - sugar free.

Pertwee is one of the funniest names ever.

ZenGum · 04-15-2010, 08:35 PM

Well, if you'll settle for "MAPLE flavoured SYRUP" it comes fairly cheap, and it's "made with 10% PURE MAPLE SYRUP and 90% sugar.
