Once again, I live on the edge of what is allowed in civil society.
It tasted ok, if a little creamy.

According to wikipedia, coffee mate ingredients are:
corn syrup solids vegetable oil (including partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oil)[4] sodium caseinate dipotassium phosphate mono- and diglycerides sodium aluminosilicate artificial flavour annatto colour Carrageenan: Extracted from red seaweeds, this food additive is a type of vegan gelatin and has been in use for hundreds of years.  You choose to put this in your tea? |

I'd run out of milk. If there was a thing called Tea Mate in my cupboard, I'd have tried it.
I think "British Army Tea" is made using powdered milk, so in a way, I'm just being patriotic. There should be a powdered Tea milk. "Tea-Riffic"! I've even invented the branding. |

I consider that one of my five a day, that sounds like a superfood. |

That sounds like the sort of thing you'd use to grow bigger tomatoes. Hopefully my nads get bigger. I'll keep you posted. |

Sounds wonderful.
The wiki article claims to have extracted the information from this site https://www.coffee-mate.com/Products/Original.aspx#b936f373-d1f9-4af0-a4da-32221f22135e Just click on the nutrition information next to the version you prefer. Some wonderful reviews I must admit. |

A tea drinker. Away ya big girls blouse.
Be a man. Coffee and black with no sugar. Goes well wae a wee Tunnocks Teacake. |
|
By:
I drink both, which is why I thought I'd try coffee mate.
I mix my drinks, I'd hot beverage you under the table. Stomach like an iron smelter, nads like tomatoes, that's what they say about me when I walk past. |

Agree with you about the coffee Aka but have never tasted a Tunnocks Teacake. Where do you find them?

I thought I'd treat myself with some Nescafe Azera "barista style" coffee that I thought was supposed to be premium, it's pretty horrible, not getting it again. Tin might be useful though ..
I stayed in a hotel that had free Nespresso, that from what I remember was nice enough but not sure it's worth the money? |

You're missing out on a right treat Foinavon.
Made in Uddingston by Tunnocks and are definitely available down south as they recently ran an advertising campaign in London. As part of the campaign they did a spoof advert changing the logo to a union jack (something to do with the Great British Bake Off programme) Anyways there is an SNP activists group up here called The Scottish Resistance who took the spoof seriously and called them traitors. Two of them James scott and Sean Clerkin ( our version of the chuckle brothers) actually protested at the factory in uddingston.  |

They are kind of biscuits with marsmallow on the top I think? LOL
"Retired RAF bomber pilot Tony Cunnane told of how Tunnock's Teacakes became a favourite ration snack of the V bomber nuclear deterrent flight crews based at RAF Gaydon, especially after discovering that they expanded at high altitude. This ended after one was left unwrapped and exploded on the instrument panel." |

I'll look out for them Aka. Love the clip, you sure it's not from Monty Python?

The Scottish Resistance are comedy gold Foinavon.
Thers loads of stuff on them on utube. Laugh a minute stuff as well. My fav is of James Scott in London arguing that Robin Hood was based on William Wallace. Said he'd studied it for 30 years. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. |

That's him in London. |

He goes on a bit. He has a strong accent so luckily he was speaking slowly otherwise I wouldn't have understood.

He's an absolute nutter. Him and Sean were very proactive during the indy campaign.
Screaming in peoples faces who were in the NO camp. At one time the SNP, after receiving complaints about them, claimed they weren't SNP members. However about 2 hours after that statement it was announced they had been suspended by the SNP. Were let back in though. |

He makes Jeremy Corbin sound like a Tory so probably fits in well.
