Have to agree with you on that one I like the Yorkshire gold, make a nice strong brew.

I buy Tetley's British Blend...it's available in most supermarkets.

You didn't mean *this* kind of gravy then?

Gotta say i don't get instant coffee either, what is the point? its just as quick to make real coffee, so why anyone would spend whatever amount of £ or $ on $hitty instant is beyond me. Lets face it i remember when they brought tea granules out, it was wrong to disrespect the tea by subjecting it to freeze drying and granulation, and what happened the tea drinking public stuck 2 fingers up and said we won't have it, its gotta come in a perforated bag or nothing, and instant tea disappeared

Why has'nt instant coffee gone the same way??

Sorry rant over.

Keep it REAL.......coffee

My sister still buys instant tea granules in the UK. I always take my own tea bags when I visit her.

I drink coffee maybe once a month and then only 1 cup... instant coffee in the UK was actually nice....

here I don't drink it at all... its just bad bad bad.

more worryingly is the fact that they still make instant tea . I honestly thought they ditched that stuff yonks back

Think she buys it from Asda.

Yeah, right! And I don't mean those kind of "biscuits" when I am talking about missing British biscuits. Mind you, I quite like American "biscuit", even if it's a bit salty. Here in North Carolina there is a fast food place called Bojangles which does great hot, fresh "biscuits".

Well, it depends what kind of instant you are drinking, and that's my point. You can't get great instant here in the US, so people don't know about Douwe Egberts or Cafe Noir, which if made properly are better than a lot of the bog standard filter coffee that is often served up here.

How much?

We get the catering bags from Costco in the UK - 1000 at a time! Street value of over $100 at US supermarket prices!!

Considering the subject matter and the demographics of this forum, my children may well be posting on this thread in the cyber future......

Recently discovered World Market, either TyPhoo or PG......otherwise Tetleys from the grocery store.....just add an extra 3 or 4 bags for a pot

Coffee addict, fraid to say........it tastes like cr@p (even percolated as I make it) but its great what it does to you.

A mug of tea is lovely as soon as you get in the door or on the weekends during the day.......its been donkeys years now and I still cannot drink "iced tea" There is someting just fundamentally morally wrong with "iced tea".....

Absolutely right. At my first works lunch when I arrived here, I spotted a large jug of what I thought was apple juice. It was a hot North Carolina day and I thought, "Excellent, just what the doctor ordered". It turned out to be "iced tea". Yack! So many people drink it here that "tea" means "iced tea", and if you want tea you have to ask for "hot tea". But then they don't know how to make tea, so it's best just to have a coffee, and enjoy tea in the comfort of home.

I just love a big ole glass of sweet ice tea!!!!!

Gotta admit, since moving stateside I love Iced Tea especially in the summertime.
