Wouldn't you know this company was probably the inventor of the 'teabag'? Seriously. I looked it up in Wikipedia. The particular brand has been around since the late 1800's and is quite popular in its country of origin, along with such tasty dishes as 'Toad in a Hole, 'Bubbles and Leeks', and 'Spotted Dick'. The colloquial expression arose much earlier, so is of no serious consequence there.
On the other side of the globe, my spouse refers to the implied eyebrows raising wink, wink with his explanation of the derivation of the improper but popular term there for 'Mister H' and yes, that had nothing to do at all with the despotic Austrian dictator and mass murderer.
Bubble and squeak you mean. Which can be made with leeks, when I lived there they said leek bubble and squeak to differentiate it from the standard cabbage.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Very nice to , it`s the thought that counts . ;-)
The other sort of teabag has a flavor that's almost, but not quite, exactly unlike tea.
"The flavor of tea" written in Spanish is what put this in my head I swear, because what else is tea supposed to taste like?
The patient knows you pretty well? Or wishful thinking?

Does that mean that the tea has medicinal properties?
Does Mrs. Grumpy like tea?
Which reminds me, Huma Abedin is back on the dating scene.
If the effects last longer than 4 hours, consult a physician....
The perfect beverage to go with your Hungry-Man dinner.
It's not artisan.
And if you are in London and fancy something a bit stronger than tea you could visit here...
