Hahaha! Rolling Rock…I guess I order it when I don’t actually want to taste anything strong. There are sometimes when I need the beery equivalent of water…and that’s when a cold Old Latrobe (Rolling Rock) comes in handy. It’s sorta like Gatorade.

I haven’t been to Prague…yet… Hoping to get over to Eastern Europe in 2011 (got a bit of an excursion planned). I will look for your ‘Kozel’s’.
I’ve never heard of Reissdof Kolsch. I wonder if we get it in the UK…

Newcastle is a delightful tasty beverage. It a true English brown ale. Yummy

Reissdof Kolsch from Cologne is incredible. I am still trying to find a distributor in the US for it.

Budvar, or in the US known as Czechvar, is AWESOME. Easily one of the best beers ever.

When I was in Prauge, there was only one other beer that was sublime. In my drunken idiocy, I failed to write it down. I think it was Kozel’s pale lager. Mmmmmm yumm.

As for Rolling Rock, is that a beer? I thought it was meant for cleaning the contact terminals on batteries. A friend and I had a case one weekend. I was sequestered in the bathroom reliving myself for several hours. He told me, “Oh, that’s normal with Rolling Rock. You get use to it.” Needless to say, I haven’t had it since. There are somethings I don’t want to get use to.

Can’t it be both?
Meanwhile, now’s a good time to discuss beers. Favorites? I’m partial to Newcastle, Budvar Dark, Rolling Rock, some Trappist Ales, and the concept of stouts in general…yes, including Guinness. Really though…if I’m seriously just needing a bit of lager, I’m not too picky.

I am slightly confused. I don’t know if I am reading the cognitive writings of a formidable connoisseur of pastry toppings, or the ramblings of a veteran semi-solid sugar junkie reliving their greatest highs.
Either way, you seem very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. So many people go through their entire life trying to find happiness. It’s nice to you found at little bit of that in a frosting can. I’ve done the same, but in the beer bottle. Not sure which is better. Just watch out for the sugar crash.

Haha! Wait…what’s the 7th best chippy called? Is that an official rating?

That’s right. The bigger the better. Fave flavor?

Right, that’s it. I’ve been trying to be on a diet for 3 weeks during which time Cadburys- and therefore lots and lots of bars of chocolate- have been all over the news, the World’s 7th Best Chippy across the road from my house has re-opened after being shut for 8 months; and I keep getting invited on Olympic standard pub crawls. And now- you write this. With photos! Darn you. Consider yourself darned.

We are cut from the same mold, my friend. There are few things that sound better to me than a mound of chocolate Betty Crocker frosting on a spoon. A soup spoon. A serving spoon, maybe.
