Ha! And that was all that were left after ...
... I bribed the border officials. They thought I was some sort of commercial biscuit dealer!
What most impressed me was how many packets were open before we even finished brunch. I thought they would at least last a few weeks. ;-)
And it was that same morning that I learned never to order a 'flat white' in the United States, nor try to describe one to a barista. I got into more cultural trouble that ordering a 'long black'. ;-)
The joys of travel.
Miss you.

OMG - Purists really are the best...!!!
A few weeks ago there was a thread from Ed which showed a Green Tea Kit Kat which I found interesting so we arranged to do a swap with some Orange Kit Kats which we get in England. Today I recieved a box which has blown me away and shows that Purists real...
Santa does exist after all :o)
The Green Tea is yummy....like white chocolate with a very subtle hint of something else :) Yours, Andy.
OMG - I don't have
AP PPro shirt yet :) :) Santa my size is XL :) Yes dear Andy PuristS are the best! Generosity is just something we don't see so often in modern world and it just blossoms among Purists. I had same experience month ago with our fellow WS Moderator and his ...
This is true....PPro rocks..!
Like you say there is very little generosity in the world and it's this sort of gesture which puts a smile on the world :) Yours my friend, Andy.
Ho ho ho, have you been a good boy this year?
I think Santa heard you Damjan.... :) Regards, ED-209
Awesome Gesture..
How cool :-) Green Tea Kit Kat :-) I never knew about that one, now I definitely have to source some. Very Cool of you Ed :-) Some of the best people I've met in my life and who have had a major positive impact on me have been Purists. S
You know what I'm going to say about it....
Because we're PuristS, and that's what we do! LOL :) Hope all is well Salman! Regards, ED-209
i have been amazed by the generosity of purists too.
I think its a case of do good to others and what goes around comes around. Very zenlike of me i know. G
Indeed...karma...
I'm just a little annoyed our Royal Mail let the side down but not to worry it'll get sorted :) See you Sat dude, Me. PS - we now have matching AP shirts..! :) Team Purist..!
a good Japanese friend of mine sent me some when he found out i love the green tea kit kat
first Durians...not these?? :)- best, Horo ...
Yummy aren't they..!
Never seen them in this flavour before but now a new favourite...mind you the orange is good...! Yours, Andy.
LOL! I see that Durian
has been one of rare food traumas for you :) :) Best dear Ming D
PuristS are all great people, but among equals, some ...
are more equal than others, and Ed and DRMW are the best of the best! Looking forward to reading your comments on the various flavours, and of course, you have to be wearing the PPro shirt while taste testing, that just completes the experience! Cheers, T...
I agree with you TM
Ed and DRMW are great PuristS. You also deserve a little credit. :-) Without ThePuristS and PuristSPro most of us would not know so many great people out in the cyber world or in real life when we are lucky enough to meet. Regards, JerryW
+1, just following...
Nicely stated Jerry. Just following in the footsteps of The WanderingPurist! Happy Thanksgiving. Regards, ED-209
TM, that's not quite right...
"...but among equals, some are more equal than others..." I thought the saying was 'God created man and Samuel Colt made them equal'...or something along that line! ;) -MW
I have two friends who might disagree with that...
I'll introduce you to Mr. Heckler and Mr. Koch sometime...they're kinda ornery though, just like Mr. Colt, not like affable Mr. Browning. :-)
There IS a world beyond gunsmiths...
Of course, we have George Orwell to thank for the seminal quote in "Animal Farm" (which has now passed into the vernacular): "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". Samuel Colt's most erudite contribution to the English [US] ...
Top two guys indeed....
and I haven't met a Purist I wouldn't call a friend....great place to be :) Yours, Andy.
Great to hear that it made it's way over to your side of the pond
Hi Andy, Great to hear that you're enjoying the treats! And thank you for being a part of this great community and looking forward to meeting you in person in the near future. Regards, ED-209
Thanks again Ed....
Your next parcel is ready to go..!! Let's hope the customs dog is now full..!! :) Yes look forward yo meeting you all soon..... Yours my friend, Andy.
A wonderful gesture from Ed...
...and very representative of the generous Purist spirit that infuses our virtual HoMe and reaches out into the real world. :-) I have definitely reaped the rewards of being a Purist when it comes to snacks. AndrewD once lugged a ton of Tim Tams all the w...
Thats quite a collection too..!!
Yes the generosity always shines through here :) Have you ever tried Penguin biscuits..? Very similar to Tim Tams I believe. Hope to see you soon too, Andy.
Haven't had Penguins, but...
...will look for them in the Brit specialty store near me! Cheers, Daos

Thanks again for the treats, Andrew!
Come visit again -- flat whites seem to finally be hitting our shores! I think several places in LA now know how to make a proper version. I will leave you to judge for yourself however, since you're the expert! Miss you too! Daos
