Did you know that if you put a Flake in the microwave it doesn't melt.

Someone will try that

Unless you mean a corn flake....

No, Cadbury's flake. I must caveat this by saying I've never tried it but I'm assured it's true.

Well I can confirm kit kats melt and I didn’t have to resort to google😉!  A practical application for us glasto goers therefore is that in a hot festival Flakes should be the official chocolate to satisfy the munchies. 

try melting a mars bar in the microwave and before it solidifies pour it onto Cornish ice cream. A decadent pudding.

A dipped flake, one coated with chocolate will melt on the outside, the dipped bit, but not the flake on the inside because of the make up of the chocolate.

That's actually the correct way to open a banana. It makes it so all the stringy bits stay on the peel and not the banana!

Exactly!

Most people seem to find it weird though

I have been known to mix M&Ms, Smarties and Skittles in the same bowl. No regrets.

When I have a pot noodle I have rounds of bread with it and make pot noodle sandwiches

This reminds me of a student classic- melted cheese on noodles on toast.... Mmmmmm

At uni I thought you could microwave an egg.

You can’t, it will leave a mess.

When I was a kid it was common to finish your meal with a slice of white bread to soak up the gravy (I have no idea if this was just our family, I just thought it was normal).  This was then extended to having it with the meal and we used to make mashed potato and gravy sandwiches which I could immediately taste when you mentioned your pot noodle sandwiches.

I haven't had bread with a gravy meal since I was a kid.  Why on earth not?

Is it just us Scots and the Irish who eat crips rolls/sandwiches? Or do the rest of you do it too?

It's fairly common in England too.

Glad to hear it, a great enhancement to the humble sandwich/roll
