        Indeed. Perhaps you could market it as extra creamy with a velvety texture?
        Hard Brexit now!

            this was a blokes big engine thread... start your own!
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              Too many chunks for that.

                Where is the puking smiley when you need it?

                Marmalade with a faint hint of cheese and onion and a slightly pissy aroma.
                Mmmmm delicious.

                  how about : Robinson's Golden Showered

                  Yeah, bad joke I know....

                    On-topic (not sure how it got to golden showers...!)

                    - The prototype ME109 and Stuka both were powered by Rolls Royce Kestrel engines
                    - When President Roosevelt asked Edsel Ford to manufacture Merlin's after Churchill requested help, Edsel said yes, but Henry Ford apparently said that 'he hated the British and Churchill in particular'* and told Roosevelt where to go. Packard ended up building Merlins in the US instead.
                    - The Ford plant in Manchester was compelled by the Air Ministry to build Merlins, not sure when they started building them but most Merlins were built by RR in Derby
                    - And Churchill, you're right, there is no more beautiful sound - and sight.

                      The gunners dream

                      Floating down through the clouds
                      Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
                      In the space between the heavens
                      and in the corner of some foreign field
                      I had a dream.
                      I had a dream.
                      Good-bye Max.
                      Good-bye Ma.
                      After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
                      And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
                      You hear the tolling bell
                      And touch the silk in your lapel
                      And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
                      You take her frail hand
                      And hold on to the dream.
                      A place to stay
                      Enough to eat
                      Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
                      Where you can speak out loud
                      About your doubts and fears
                      And what's more no-one ever disappears
                      You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
                      You can relax on both sides of the tracks
                      And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
                      And everyone has recourse to the law
                      And no-one kills the children anymore.
                      And no one kills the children anymore.

                      Night after night
                      Going round and round my brain
                      His dream is driving me insane.
                      In the corner of some foreign field
                      The gunner sleeps tonight.
                      What's done is done.
                      We cannot just write off his final scene.
                      Take heed of his dream.
                      Take heed
