  • What's that, you want to feel up Captain Picard!? Who do you think you are, Beverly? :-P

  • Bergamot is disgusting and whoever decided to add it to tea should be flogged.

    • Iirc it was Earl Grey, who decided to just sell the tea that was spoiled in his ship's cargo hold when a container with bergamot broke above it.

      • The potential capital loss from rotten tea results in foul-tasting swill that becomes iconic because of a sci-fi show about a socialist utopia... there is a message in there somewhere, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

    • Man, ain't it weird how tastes can vary so much? It's the bergamot that made me like Earl Grey, which was what made me finally enjoy hot teas at all.

    • I want a word with the person who was drinking an earl grey tea and thought, "This is the flavor my loopy fruity cereal needs. A toucan would definitely eat this!"

    • I feel the same way about patchouli, but I’d substitute “drowned in fluoroantimonic acid” for “flogged”.

    • I feel like your on par to fall your British lifestyle compliance class.:p

      • Earl Grey doesn't seem to be especially popular here actually. Just plain black tea. Which I appreciate.
