Ohh that looks lush :P next time it's my turn to cook, I know what MY family's having
The latin? It's from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum and it means "Neither is there anyone who loves grief itself since it is grief and thus wants to obtain it" It's a little bit ironic because it's part of a thing called Lorem ipsum used in graphics and stuff as a placeholder until the real information is put in :L

Yeah it looks quite nice. I still couldn't eat it knowing there was peanut butter on it. I only like peanut butter on bread
Or in a hot cross bun The latin?

Oh right, I thought it was latin, I just wasn't sure. Do you speak/learn latin? I've always been interested in it, but I've never had a chance to study it.
I am now convinced M&S stands for Mass produced and ****ty. How!??? The ads looked so good =(

Hot cross buns hmm? I shall have to try that one. I'm defeated by the fact that I hate shrivelled fruit (eg RAISINS)
Well my school is pretty S*** and doesn't offer latin, so I got myself a self teaching book lol. I haven't got very far but I love it
I'm a total grammar geek, see me applying for linguistics 2013

You have actually redeemed yourself with this find. I didn't even know peanut butter pizza existed. It looks awesome.

I've always found the opposite to be true of Marks and Sparks - every time I get something I've seen on the ad, sure, it's not OMFG POODPORN like they show it on the ads, but it's always superlicious-fo-ficious.
Red Bull. Still don't have my wings yet ><
Well was not really from an advert, I was just in the grocery store and saw this, decided to try it since there are other Jimmy Dean products I like.
First off, even following the directions for microwave, which says you basically have to defrost the sandwich first, in the MW, then cook fully for 55 seconds.
The sandwich still came out cold in the middle and the bread was both cold and soggy. So I thought maybe Ill give it 10 more seconds. After this middle was heated but then the bread was tough and hard to bite into. And the cheese had started to scorch.

Oh yeah, and I tried THIS yesterday.
POM Juice.
I thought, "Ooh, I like pomegranates. I like juice. This woman in a bikini is telling me that it's good pomegranate juice. Why would a woman in a bikini be lying? She's baring all physically, so surely she's not holding back or lying to me?"
Well, let me tell you. I like prunes, but I despiiiiiise prune juice. I love tomatoes, but I hate tomato juice. I love pomegranates, but...
Well, I guess you could finish the sentence.

I was suckered into trying Disaronno on the rocks by those suave advert people.
It was nowhere near as great nor sophisticated as those foreigny-types made me believe.

What?!
Disaronno is the sex!
Quite and old example, but I can't think of anything more recent that has well and truly suckered me in. I quite expected these to be delicious, like little snippets of Mars bar loveliness, only crammed into bitesized chunks. I was sorely disappointed, they tasted like cardboard - really bland and nothing like Mars bars themselves.

That is the only pomegranate juice I have ever liked, most others taste watered down or stuffed with sugar, but opinions are opinions. And where have you seen an advert for it?

I absolutely love bbq sauce, I would eat it on anything. Never heard of the pizza before tonight though, is it worth giving up my (attempt) at being a vegetarian for?
Little known fact, you can make up to 3 alterations to a Domino's pizza free of charge, and on top of that you can swap tomato for BBQ sauce
So you could make your own veggie version (I am a fierce endorser of the Texas BBQ.)Original post by Roy064

The advert's on TV; it's pretty much just a woman in a bikini emerging from some water in a seductive manner, holding a bottle of POM. Needless to say it's not a subtle marketing move, although given the digestive benefits of pomegranates, it's better they went with "sex sells pomegranates" than "loosening your stools sells pomegranates" I guess...

Ah. I actually like the taste. And they must have took a leaf out of Activia's book.

L'Amour, I agree with this, the chocolate suffers from Revel/Poppet syndrome, ie special blend of non-melting wax that only has flavour when you crunch, and WHAT'S WITH THE "CARAMEL"?! It's not caramel if I have to chaw down like I'm eating an Irn Bru bar. That's called "Toffee".
Deceptive you are, Mars Planets.
To add to the list,
Twix Fino. I don't know what I was expecting. I think because I love Mars Delights, I was expecting something akin to a Mars Delight-Twix hybrid, and considering the worst bit of a "nowadays" Twix is the now healthified sandbiscuit (as opposed to the olden-days all-butter shortcake of yumsterminster), I thought, "How can I lose?"
It was just so unsatisfying. Just so crappy. Whereas Mars Delights are light but still have some substance, this was just... TOO light. And one finger with same calories as a Milky Way? I'll just eat two Milky Ways instead. It felt like it was missing something, a bit like when they brought out those limited edition Mars Bars and Snickers without the nougat and added more caramel. It's a cool novelty but you're like... "man, this is like eating a roast dinner with no gravy."

It was so depressing, especially because they were so expensive with all the hype when they first came out... I think I tried a couple of every 'flavour' before giving up, gimmie a traditional Mars bar any day over that!
BTW, I love your threads - even if all this talk of gorgeous foods is a deadly combination with my current diet, pah!

Disaronno smells amazing and tastes nice in drinks.. But on it's own it's a little.. weak.
Now this is an amazing amaretto!! It's meant to taste like a festival in your mouth and the smell.....
They sell it at Jamie's Italian restaurants for £4 a measure (35ml) and actually refuse to mix it with coke! But my god it's worth that £4!!! I miss working there for the booze alone!
