What's the perfect accompaniment to coffee?

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Bacon barm, sausage muffin, both.

Are you bi-polar?

Who uses both barm and muffin?!

Throwing it down the sink?
Now if you’d asked about accompaniments to tea then it would be a Canadian Maple doughnut from Tim Horton’s. Followed by some Timbits.


Can’t wait for the new one near the Trafford Centre to open tomorrow!!

Hortons? I went for a swim at Broughton baths one Sunday morning and walked straight past Mcdonalds to try a Hortons breakfast. Worst thing I ever tasted in my life. I see queues outside there in the evening. Either I got a bad one or the night time menu is a lot better than the morning one which was putting it lightly terrible.

Indeed. I was more railing against the culture of "going for a coffee" which is an Americanisation. You don't hear people going for a tea, or going for a Vimto or Bovril in the UK

Please forgive me if I’m wrong, I do remember drinking tea all through my teens, basically my whole life growing up in England.. putting a brew on, having a cuppa, maybe that’s not a thing anymore?

You imply that you would have gone in McDonald's........ no wonder you didn't like Hortons. Anyone that thinks cardboard for breakfast is nice needs their taste buds checking.

It's hard to accurately assess the demographic breakdown of tea v coffee drinkers in the UK because all the surveys I've seen are sponsored either by 'Big Tea' or 'Big Coffee': and are highly selective in their data. What you can probably say is...

Coffee consumption in the UK has continued to rise over the last 2 - 3 decades.
Tea continues to be a staple but has a problem with the under 35s where consumption is significantly lower
About two thirds of hot drink consumers say they drink tea and about two thirds of people say they drink coffee, so lots of people like both
Some of the decline in traditional tea drinking is masked by the increase in fruit teas etc which have become popular with a younger demographic
The claims that coffee drinking has overtaken tea are a bit dubious but unless the drinking habits of the younger generations change as they get older, then it will be the case coffee is king in the UK.

Went to a tea parlour in Cambridge, Mass. a few years ago - it was a bit up itself / hipster twatsville but the massive choice of teas was very good. Maybe that's how tea will have to fight back in the UK with younger people?

Got to be filtered coffee not the freeze dried shite.
Cinnamon bun or a Danish pastry.
