Yesterday we covered a product which I thought had a great start (Juice Republic) and then fell short when it came to execution – especially with it’s on-line presence. Today, we’ll examine the opposite. Honeybuns were sweet little cakes/brownies sold in a small tin like one would carry for lunch: The website is not all polish – no flash, [...]

Day 13 of being in the UK – 5 hours of sleep lie ahead before 5-6 hours of work and by 12 noon I’ll be in a car on the way to the airport for a 3.30PM flight. It’s been a rewarding and challenging trip all at once. I haven’t had nearly the amount of [...]

Ahhhh, the British. I love them. I thought they took the cake on weight loss shows when they came out with the bizarre concept called, Fat Teens Can’t Hunt. I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Why are Thin People Not Fat? I thought it was because they are less calories or perhaps were more [...]
Southern Alps – Beautiful Packaging

Awesome packaging and cool product – Southern Alps slow dried fruit was a wonderful discovery inside Heathrow Airport. The product is all natural, ethical, beautiful and lacks added sugar/ preservatives. Fruit dried the way our forefathers (and mums) would have done it. Their website made it a little difficult to find their products (the fruit on [...]

I am sure Dana will post on the virtues of Cadbury in the UK compared to what we receive in North America. Good Chocolate is a passion of hers – I love a bit in my chili! Cadbury has a series of commericals that I’ve seen on my visit to the UK that have to [...]

Sunday was my only day off during this 12 day trip to the UK – I’m scheduled 10-12 hours per day and it’s a fairly busy trip. I woke up early and lazed about until noon when my associate, pal and host brought me out for a tour. A typical Scottish winters day – cool, [...]

Saturday Night Laughter (and not); Glasgow
Posted in Scotland, tagged comedy, comedy clubs, glasgow, stand up, standup, The Stand on January 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Had a lovely evening last night (damn, starting to speak like them). This is a short post because it is very loosely tied to our focus here – food and drink. I got taken out by a colleague and friend named Martin. He took me to a comedy club named The Stand. I was somewhat [...]
Friday night in Glasgow

A quick post before heading to work this morning (after just writing a considerably long one for the ongoing series in making your own jam). I have learned that, especially on weekends, good food in Scotland often requires a reservation. Without a reservation you will be limiting your options significantly. I did not have reservations. [...]
