View Full Version : Rice Krispie Quandary
Depends on where you get it...
Apple Crumble and Apple Pie are the same thing where I come from, but the apple tart is different....slimmer and the crust is crunchier....
Apple crumble is only apple crumble if crumble is used. Hard to believe, I know.
Its very simple and we shall have no more silly debate
Its Bun
and i am prepared to use violence against the cake people.
Ah no no need to go that far. We'll just throw 'them' onto to some godforsaken island and Nuke it:D
But you do need cases to make Fairy Cakes...
And are Jaffa Cakes really cakes or biscuits...no doubt at all...they're biscuits!!
Is is Apple Pie, or Apple Tart...........
The list goes on and on and on......
1. No you don't. They're handy, but not essential. Cases are essential for Rice Krispie Buns though, 'cos they'RE BUNS!!!
2. Jaffa Cakes are cakes, hate to have to say it. McVitie's did a demonstration for the English Inland Revenue or someone showing they were cakes to avoid people having to pay the extra VAT on biscuits as a luxury item. This included baking a huge oversize Jaffa Cake as a cake, and letting them go stale. The definition apparently is biscuits go soft, cakes go hard. The Jaffa Cakes went hard. End of.
3. Apple Pie and Apple Tart are not the same thing at all.
From Dictionary.com
apple pie: pie (with a top crust) containing sliced apples and sugar
Apple Tart is a small pie filled with cooked apples, usually having no top crust.
So stann is right on both counts:cool:

Apple Tart doesn't have to be small though technically you are right, pie is the one with the crust on top and Tart has no crust on top.

Jaffa Cakes are minging. How could u possibly want to eat some sticky jam on a hard spongy thing with fake choc.....yuck....after all meat and mushrooms, Jaffa Cakes are the next most evil foodstuff.

Mushrooms are great. I'm always suspicious of people who don't like them.

Same here. I eat about 2 kilos of them a week.
I'm even more suspicious of people who don't like meat though.

Is it all meat you don't like or just meat that doesn't live up to your expectations? :D

Correction, I don't eat meat. There was some meat I liked before I went veggie.

'Fraid not, Joe, saw it on QI if the truth be told! That man Stephen Fry is the fount of all wisdom in this world.
And sorry Magicme, have to say that I love 'em! I think it's the very fact that they are made of rubbish chocolate on rubbish sponge with pretend orange that makes them so great! There's too much of this natural food crap going the rounds, bring back the E numbers I say. But then I like meat too so what do I know...
Now where was I... ah yes, BUNS!!!!! :mad: :D

Yeah white chocolate is just wrong....only way to eat it is in a milky bar or belgian chocs.

No way. White Chocolate magnum is amazing. As are the white chocolate Lindor chocs.
Ever try them with white chocolate? mmmmmmm... nice.
how could you say White choclate is nice? Next you will be calling Rice Krispy Buns, cakes and it will be an the island for you!
As for mushrooms love the things don't trust anyone who doesn't but not as much as those who call Rice Krispy Buns you know...

Anyone ever try to make Rice Krispie buns with minced beef? They're a bit like burgers in a bun case, with Hundreds & Thousands on top...
Yeah white chocolate is just wrong....only way to eat it is in a milky bar or belgian chocs.
Or a Caramac!

Pear drops and Rhubarb and custard were good alright. And Cola Cubes. http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/kola-kubes-cola-cubes-p-509.html
Not sure I remember having Acid drops. (Not that kind anyway :D )
Peadar

And Cola Cubes.
Kola Cubes used to hurt the roof of my mouth.
Boiled sweets shouldn't be cubes. :mad:
There was these other hard cola flavoured sweets with a slightly chewy centre, in a roll. Frosties (http://www.treasureislandsweets.co.uk/acatalog/Frosties.html) they were great...
They're cheaper here... (http://www.handycandy.co.uk/cola-frosties-p-154.html)

The Stars

Fruit salads....nice.Stingers,remember i used to always by them in the showgrounds at the matches.
I spelt wopa wrong its woppa,
just found out they don't make them anymore:(
I like those pink and blue cola bottles at the moment as well.
May I remind people that woppa bars and other such memorable confectionary is exactly how the cake contingent intend to change the subject from them being wrong at the matter at hand..?? We have to concentrate! :mad:
;)
Cheers joesoap and Peadar.
Will have a browse through there the weekend!
Oh, and fruit salads were all fine and dandy like, but http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/black-jacks-p-413.html were the guv'nors! Seem to remember a different wrapper though.
Don't worry d f x-, we're not forgetting, the battle has been won is all. Buns, buns, buns!

Ha ha....just look at whats being advertised at the top of this thread!!!
Stingers are still available and will be on sale in the Monaghan United Shop tonite....see the treats you are missing out on DFX?????
I didnt eat sweets as a kid....except on Sundays when my parents would let us buy a bag of roses or a roll of munchies when we got the papers and they would be duly shared between my parents, my bro and I.....thats how I got to 18 without needing a filling!
:eek: They nearly had me there, thanks d f x-.
Cake:a sweet, baked, bread, made with or without shortening, and containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs, and liquid flavoring.
containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs.
Don't think you add these to make Rice Krispy Buns, They're just choclate and Rice Krispy's
Bun:any of a wide variety of variously shaped bread rolls, usually leavened and slightly sweetened or plain, sometimes containing spices, dried currants, etc.
sometimes but not always. Also slightly sweetened with choclate.
Since both are classed as a bread-like food that cancels each other out,
So I think Rice Krispy buns wins hands down:cool: :p

Now what could you have started eating when you were 18 that would have caused you to need a filling??? :confused: :D
