    You split the biscuits and stick a pat of butter in each one while they’re hot so that the butter soaks into the soft interior. Then you can add honey or jam inside with the melted butter. A buttered biscuit is the best thing for mopping up the yolk of a fried egg.

      Think she must have been confused. People mix butter and honey as a spread alone. not in-addition-to the gravy.
      generally one or the other for sure.

      You don't have both on biscuits. You have butter and honey, jam if you want something sweet on them. If you want it more savory than you put sausage gravy. Not both.

    Well don't worry grandad, here in the South we drink that for lunch and dinner and in between... But even for breakfast, we'll have a cup of hot tea or cup of coffee
    For the bloodsuckers: make sure you drink a whole glass of water before you go. It helps plump up your veins... And include a little vitamin C everyday. It also makes your veins stronger as well... I had issues with my veins, and that's what helped me plump mine up

    Oh my gosh! Grandad, I'm terribly sorry for your vein issue.
    I'm only in my 50s and I have the same problem.
    In January, I was hospitalized with pneumonia for two weeks and I was literally black and blue all over my hands, forearms, and even in the crook of my elbow!
    And guess what??! In the end, it was a sweet and gentle young student nurse who succeeded by using a tiny needle for babies.
    Sometimes our veins will roll around and not allow themselves to be pierced... 😮 You speak up at the doctor visit, and tell them to try a baby needle, so you don't get so badly bruised. I've seen your bruised hands in previous videos.
    Big hugs from 🇨🇦 🍁

    In the south there's sweet tea and then there's sweetened tea. The difference is that with sweet tea you boil the water along with the sugar making a watery simple syrup before you add the tea to brew. Sweetened tea is brewed tea with sugar added after. Surprisingly it does make a difference in the taste.

    Hi Grandadjoe, I am in my early 50's & from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺.There is nothing wrong with being old fashioned. I like things the way they used to be. I like peach ice-tea. But during the day went it is warm outside. It is very refreshing. But for breakfast it is a hot cuppa. I am Disabled & suffer from Depression, so mornings are not my best time of day. So depending how I feel, depends on what I have to eat.
    Bit of a trick for when you have blood tests. Make sure you drink enough water. And get a balloon, fill it up with some warm water & tie a knot in the end. Hold the balloon over were you would normally have blood taken. Apparently the warmth helps to distend the veins, & makes it easier to take blood. Hope you can get your glasses fixed quickly.
    All my Grandparents died when I was young. And I Never knew my Mum's Mother. She got TB from a sick neighbour who would not stay home. She died when my Mum was 4. So my Mum was brought up by her Grandparents. I miss having Grandparents.

    A trick we found is to put a tiny amount of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in the iced tea. I use 1/8 tsp for two cups of iced tea (500ml/16.9 US fl oz). The bicarb dissolves the tannins and makes the tea less astringent. You can google it for more info.

    I much prefer it iced without the sugar at all. Maybe grandad would too, but I wouldn't go interfering with a good mans nice cuppa.
    Will you compare our pig n a blanket for Christmas time please, ours is pretty much just a sausage roll to you guys realistically as I understand.
    and the british one is wrapped in streaky bacon. which is just bacon bacon here, but thats another thing entirely.
