I like a hard yolk, none of this runny yellow stuff. Otherwise though, it sounds good - tell me your cuppa tea method.

Gawd bless ya MaryPoppins!

I love a trong coffee but I admit my tea is filth: looks more like hot milk than tea

Top tip; stir a little wasabi paste into your mustard. It'll end up looking like snot but you'll get that supercharged effect you're looking for.

Gret idea! Thanks, I'll give it a go.

That's preposterous. That's like going to bed without a sheet on - your marmite needs support, not to be left alone on that toast.

Think of the marmite.

Agree 100%, but "buttering someones marmite" does sound a little bit dodgy.

WSS Brewing is important.

Brew time is a critical component, but is subject to the question "how strong do you like your tea?".

Go to the Senf (Mustard) Museum* in Köln (Cologne) where you get bits of hot sausage and bread to test all the different types of mustard they have. In Düsseldorf there is also Lowensenf who have a big shop (and there's a good mustard shop in Nürnburg as well, up near the castle.)

* Over the road is the Chocolate Museum, you put pounds on just walking in...

Well I would say I like my tea about 3000 times stronger than that pathetic girly watery 'tea' that the Dutch drink. Utter wimps, the lot of them; they pour hot water into a glass, then a few minutes later they tip a puny bag of weak tea in it for about 5 seconds, then put the tea bag on a little saucer and re-use it twice. A nation of girlies.

I like mine very strong with a small splash of milk - like all civilised people, surely.

I won't stand for a fake strong tea - i.e. not brewed long enough; with a very small amount of milk added to attempt to give the initial impression of a strong brew.

Plenty strong with not much milk. Only skim milk too - if no skim, then black.

Or Earl Grey, without milk obv. for hangovers.

Give over, you know you love your marmite buttered on a Sunday morning.

Strong tea is a sign of a nation of stout and solid citizens who don't take tulip from anybody.

I've long thought that the British, Irish, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and many East Africans are made of stouter stuff than others, and I think it's the tea that does it.
