Gold leaf is sometimes used on kulfi, and also in some alcoholic drinks.

Danziger Goldwasser, produced in Danzig (a.k.a. Gdansk), since 1598, but apparently only from 22ct gold rather than 24ct gold. 

Quite a few white wines, sparkling and still, contain gold flakes. Most of these seem to use 24ct gold. We have a bottle of Australian Chardonnay at home, for example. 

I don't think it has a noticeable taste...

In fact, when added to sparkling wines to justify an exceptionally high price, one could argue that it is rather tasteless.

I haven’t ever tasted gold nor do I intended to but this post did remind me of this.

24ct covered gold steak anyone?

Without being vulgar, sieves at the ready? 😆

Well, imagine flushing gold down the toilet, worse still, Imagine eating it in the first place.

The only thing that should be put on fish and chips is gravy.

Sorry southerners.

Really though, no gravy at’ chippy. There’d be up roar up north.

As Peter Kay once said ‘As’t tha nowt moist?’ 😂

I spy a norther at heart?

I like it all over, just like gravy on a roast dinner.

Oh no! Gravy is for meat, not fish! 🤮

Cheese, chips and gravy on the other hand 👍

Mother told me not to play with kids north of Watford 😂

Only north of Watford 😧

I hope you didn’t listen to your mother on that point.

Southerners: “You can’t put gravy on fish”

Northerners: “Challenge accepted, are you watching?” 😂

@Roy I was recently having a conversation with a friend in U.S who couldn’t believe the ‘rivalry’ or rather differences of opinion and the differences of dialects in UK.

I pointed out that it’s a relatively small island with a history spanning many, many centuries of history. Rivalry of football teams, difference in dialect and accents, even just miles apart. I explained, you ask a Man City supporter to support Man Utd or a Wolves supporter to support West Brom as examples of course and they couldn’t believe the rivalry despite the proximity of the teams.

Or ask a Lancastrian down at the pub to put a flag up saying ‘I love Yorkshire’ outside their house and they’d most likely get punched.

Now after reading this and seeing how small the UK is compared to some states in U.S. I get it.

But at the same time it makes me smile knowing that on a small isle we can have our differences in a small area but we can still come together when needed, accents, football teams, county flags and gravy aside.

It's probably our greatest trait.

I'm still learning, I didn't know of the 'Morecambe/Blackpool' jealousy until recently 😎

Even the mice under the floorboards of the same house can fall out at times. 😆

Came here expecting a bunch of nutters licking sovereigns and discussing their bouquet; "mmmm, the taste of this 1880 from the London mint really evokes thoughts of dysentery, chimney dust and the joys of woollen clothing. Yum".

Bloody gutted it was about flakey fish and whatnot.

You could always lick some of your own sovereigns and report back to us if you experience that wonderful collection of Victorian aromas you mentioned. 😆

Just don’t blame us if you get cholera.

I actually thought it was the normal thing to do until just now. My doctor keeps trying to book me in somewhere for "observation" and is always giving me these antibiotics which entirely ruin the experience. I enjoy this extra dimension to gold ownership. Well I did, until the boat accident. 👅🪙⛵😭

These Gold bars take some licking:

I have not tried them battered and deep fat fried yet though.
