Pub quiz snacks

I went to a pub quiz last night (the same one I’ve mentioned here before). Occasionally we do well. Usually—like last night—we don’t.

One of the usual participants had a friend in town for a week who joined us. Before the quiz began, she wanted a snack. She went to the bar and got pickled mussels.


I didn’t know that mussels were something that were commonly pickled. I definitely didn’t know that they could then be purchased in a pub.

In sports news, there is a huge controversy raging over the England-Pakistan cricket match last weekend. It’s been one of the leading stories on the radio for the last two mornings (and it was the subject of one of the quiz questions last night). A brief quote from the article: “The Pakistani side refused to come out of their dressing room after tea in protest at the umpires’ ruling.”
