Here's an interesting article related to Costco's liquor pricing and how they can sell so low. https://punchdrink.com/articles/how-costco-kirkland-signature-spirits-whisky-scotch-pricing/
Yes, Billy, I need to try to get back there and most likely today. The person in front of me at checkout had half a dozen bottles and the person behind me in line asked the clerk if she could run back to get a couple of bottles when she saw that person and me both with that scotch. Even the clerk knew what a deal it was on that bottle. They may already be out of stock on it at the store I was at--there were only about 10 or so bottles left when I was there. But there's another Costco across town and nearer to where I work. Perhaps I can pop over there during a break this afternoon.
Going to try some red wine I got from Londis on special offer at only a fiver a bottle, so I went on a mad spending spree and got two.
I definitely agree. Well, except maybe for the part about Nigella Lawson's lady bits. And I don't know what a bacon sarnie is. But anything with bacon has to be good.
David, that photo of the wine with the lights twinkling away in the background is beautiful! The wine could taste like shite and the photo itself would more than make up for it.
I’ve worked in health care to know that sometimes the well presented can have unkempt no-go areas, which if the body was represented by the Hunt-Lenox globe, would be decorated by the words "HC SVNT DRACONES"! I’m sure Nigela has a perfectly serviceable reproduction unit, however I’m certain I don’t want “essence of...” inserting into my expensive beverage. I do however think that relative rarity can reasonably raise prices. What if a case of roman mead was perfectly preserved in a glacier (from some adventurous explority mission) ... that’s have to be worth a few quid
Writing this in retrospect but works Christmas Ball last night so in no particular order: Champagne Red wine (Malbec) HPA Jagerbombs Old Fashioned Some random Sloe Gin based cocktail G&T's and some other things I don't remember and couldn't work out. Home by 5 this morning and currently suffering on the sofa having just eaten 2 bacon butties
Ok, chari1, I'm trying to get some of these UK foods straight in my mind. So...a bacon sarni and a bacon butty are the same thing? I was involved in a very long series of posts awhile back regarding the qualities and virtues of the bacon butty (including sauce) but thought that a sarni was something else. Sooo complicated.
