Demand custard creams!

You, sir/madam, will be cast into the outer darkness, where there is wailing, gnashing of teeth, and Unquiet Grave 1 played on a loop.

Any idea what it needs to fill biscuits with custard cream like the ones in pic
??
Custard cream filled biccies are not luxurious vat category, aren't they?

Intrigued to know, how do you have an orgy with Earl Grey tea?? It just seems so sedate..

One could always get a mould and freeze the tea into...
Actually, no. Let's just leave that idea untyped.

A really good strong cup of Earl Grey at about 4pm will reinvigorate, reenergise, and revitalise the body and mind, it relieves stress, and the bergamot is a mood enhancer. 2 or 3 cups with the right people will have you bouncing off the walls and pondering whether the ceiling joists will hold a f
uckswing.
The sedateness is a cunning ploy - we Earl Grey orgiastists don't want everyone to know that we're randy buggers and can't wait to run home, pop the kettle on and christen the patio so we give the impression of being frightfully proper. Trust me on this - we're not!

Wow, I never knew
There's Earl Grey here on a shelf but I'm not going near the stuff until I call the house insurance company first.
(Sorry to derail the biscuits thread)

I'm toying with the idea of a Viscount, to go with the Earl.

Icing bag or pump that looks like a large syringe is how I have done such things.

I think the lemon puff would be an excellent choice. A delicate flavour that would not overwhelm the subtle citrus notes of the Earl Grey. Also has the advantage of being relatively light... because no-one wants stodge before an orgy.

You are both right, they are lovely. They are a bit hard to find in my neck of the woods so if all else fails I might just have to "pick up a Penguin".
(or maybe Penguins are classified as bars??)

do we have to merge this thread with the book one too?

We can't (as far as I can work out) merge threads, only split them.
Not that you were actually being serious, I know, but...
FYI in general.
