The Ramadan Arms
 

Welcome to our virtual Public House, a place to talk all things Ramadan, I will kick off with ... who fancies a bacon sandwich? brown or red sauce?

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Can I have a virtual pint of Guinness with that? And brown sauce, thanks!:thumbsup:

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

course you can, enjoy it :)

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Bacon and Sausage on Mother's Pride with......



Please.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

great stuff!! :)

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Piccalilli is top bollocks! Not the chunk, just the sauce (allergic to any and all veggies you see!).

So, a nice cold pint of....... Asahi, a bacon and sausage roll (with red and brown sauce) plus a bit of piccalilli in the centre as a welcome surprise! Boom!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Allergic to veg? That must be awfully difficult.

Anyways, I love the gherkins and cauliflower in Piccalilli, the little silverskin onions are lush too.

How about pickled cabbage and beetroot - only Ross's though - and NOT baby beets.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I kinda lied there an ickle teeny weeny bit! I'm not exactly allergic, just not a fan! Pickles of all varieties I am all over but not much else.

Essentially if it has never walked or swam I'm not a fan!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I'll pass on the bacon sandwich, and go straight for a large chunk of a decent pork pie.....which is incidentally what I'll be having for my first meal back in the UK on the 19th of this month... :)

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

love pork pies!! blood pricey here though

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Yep, and not exactly made locally...

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

my husband makes fabulous ones!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I only decided to like pork pies in April. I've missed out on their glory for 25 years...

I'll have a bacon sarnie, smoked bacon, brown sauce, soft white rolls please.

Pint of Timothy Taylor or something else proper will do.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

White floury roll. 1 slice black pudding. 1 slice lorne sausage. Red sauce.

Job done.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Can I have some halal bacon and a pint of alcohol-free porter, please ?

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

You're barred!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

so we have found ourselves a doorman :rofl:

I only got one pair of hands, food on it's way :p

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Do you only do Brit food here or can I get some Hax'n mit Semmelknoedeln and a Mass (large , really large glass of beer) please? :thumbsup:

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Bacon sarnie, extra crispy, brown sauce, white bread, mug of tea and a whiskey chaser please. :D

Also can someone put the tennis on? :getcoat:

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Non halal piggy and a pint of Guinness, that is the way of relapsing after being in Saudi too long!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Hey guys/chicks, what is going on here? It looks like ‘The girls want to have fun’ kind of party! is planned for Ramadan. Well I can tell you what the animal part of me is telling me right now, he is saying: how I wish I was not a Muslim so that I can join in the fun!!!!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Today's lunch debate focussed on how much more enjoyable 'licensed Iftar's would be ......if only eh!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Harram is all the more fun in Islamic countries.

I have friends who lived in Tehran in the 70s who said it made Dubai look backwards!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Some venues are saying that live music ends tonight. I hope they are the exceptions coz Ramadan doesn't start for several days, no?

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

You have your own versions of fun, like stonings, multiple wives, abusing women, starving yourselves. Wait...that IS fun right?

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I don't know. Getting stoned? Guilty. Multiple wives? No thank you, I've enough bother with Mrs. Janx, who dislikes this bored. Starving yourself? Well I'm an unheathy 42 KG, so I guess that all this MUST be fun...after all, what is the alternative?...Oh...Hmm, yes O.K. perhaps you're right, but I'd prefer a second opinion!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Ramadan is tomorrow.............

By the way: go to Spinney's in Mercato Mall early on any morning.......... pork section............ yesterday's pork pies more than 50 pct off.............. I've been eating them for months - tasty, and no 'after effects'..............

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

You've obviously being eating the grotty Saxby pork pies from Spinneys!
Needs must when the urge calls, but they are a bit pony...

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

See...it's a right laugh.

Anyway, let's not fall into that debate again.

I enjoyed my last morning ciggie in the car this morning. Currently trying to work out where I can smoke during the day.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

??? I thought I was a small pup at 64Kg!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Under your desk!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Strange people having red or brown sauce on a bacon roll! English Mustard FTW!

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

A guy I worked with in the UK was on the phone, fag in hand ready to nip out for one. Wasn't thinking too much and was chatting away. Seconds later he lit the fag, at desk, phone to his ear.

Priceless moment where he panicked, stubbed it out on his mousemat and blew the smoke in a draw whilst choking and trying to continue a call. It was awesome.

Really? I think brown sauce wins.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

Thought it started on Weds 10th, my mistake.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I thought it did too?

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

According to Gulf News it is Wednesday :) bacon sandwiches with brown sauce it is, Dean I saw those pork pies too, the frozen ones from Choithrams aren't bad either :thumbsup:

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I thought it was tomorrow too

My first Ramadan here, not going back to Uk until 1st Aug

Will miss wandering about with Latte in hand

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

I might as well have a pint while I'm here then. And a pickled egg.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

It's not that bad. This is the first year that I'm having to work normal hours though, that blows.

Time flies, this is my third summer and third Ramadan. I still remember joining this site as an utterly clueless chap.

Re: The Ramadan Arms
 

and that has changed? :rofl:

Pint on it's way :thumbsup:
