Monkey nuts and burgers!

[phobic3000]

Five guys and GBK both offer you free monkey nuts before your burger like it's perfectly normal.

What's that all about?

[Louisa]

I think its a little nod to the fact that, you'd have to be totally 'nuts' to wanna pay that price for a burger and chips. Just a thought.

its this hand food shit meme that the hipster vermin seem to think is funky.

The only reason these hispter scum lice are around to flog us their shit derivative hand food concepts is that smart people invented eating utensils a long time ago and probably stopped humanity from expiring in its own gastro enteritis

these beaded prigs want us to go back to groovy stone age chic, except with full sleeves of tats and soya fecking moccas instead of pigs blood to drink

etc

Nuts are very filling.. so you may not be able to finish your burger giving

you the impression you got good value.. after feeling stuffed..

The salty nuts make you thirsty and so you buy more drinks

[keekybreeks]

monkey nuts not salted

[phobic3000]

They always seems really smug about it too. Like you should know why they're there and if you don't eat them you're a fool.

[Jeremy]

Because they're cheap?

[Louisa]

Smug bar stewards forcing their nuts onto everyone. Imagine if McDonalds did this??

Damn these places with their bastard bowls of complimentary nuts.

I prefer a chinese burn and a kick in the goolies before my meal, every time.

DAMN THEM TO HELL

[DulwichFox]

The EDT now sells small bowls of nuts for ?2.50.

Selling nuts? In a pub? Further evidence of East Dulwich disappearing up it's own arse.

Point I was making was that they usually sell Tavern Snack Peanuts at ?1.25 for 50grms

Probable the best peanuts available.

But now doing probably 30grm of unsalted nuts for ?2.50 pos. ?3.00

These Packet peanuts are only available when the 'Loose' nuts aren't .

Who said I was angry..

Some one was talking about Free nuts and I mentioned other places charging for them

Restaurants used to give out FREE bread and now most if not all charge.

just an observation..

I was thinking more about Keekybreeks, who seems particularly exercised about it.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Keekbreeks - your upset at the lack of cutlery at GBK I think is misguided... I'm pretty sure they supply a knife and fork. I do accept that there is nothing more enraging than a free nut though.

Fair play rahrahrah..

I no longer read keekybreeks' posts.

I've tried rearranging the words in a vague attempt to make a meaningful sentence, but alas have since given up.

Life is far too short.

Are you feeling ok?...... just wondered

[tfwsoll]

Why are they now called monkey nuts??? They were called peanuts in my day....

[Louisa]

I think what angers keeky the most is this faux urban trendy attempt to do something like say, eat a fancy burger and chips with a sort of smug "we invented this" kind of sneering. The same goes for posh hot dog eaters, acting as though they've 'discovered' a new way of eating. Makes you want to stamp on their bare toes with a stiletto.

Louisa.

[se22cat]

Now the Tories are in power again, perhaps there will be an increase in demand for such stiletto related services.

[keekybreeks]

i was roping in various contemoprary and historical points of interest- the adoption of utensils that allowed man to escape the faecel ingestion horro that was killing half of humanity at the time vs the new meme for eating wiv yer hands, the ahoy matey fisherman beards, the ballpoint pen squiggeled arms , the selective cultural rape of established working class iconography, blah you get the jist. The people who serve monkey nuts and then follow it with a dirty burger on a slab of bark and omit cultlery are the hippies of the st century.

christ my spelling is getting worser

[Louisa]

Can I just reassure everyone. I've NEVER walked across Michael Gove (or any other tory minister for that matter) in a pair of white stilettos. Ever. Thankyou.

Louisa.
