Those stoppers have a new lease of life round here since the real ale pubs have opened to sell takeaway beer. I take down my (cleaned out) 5 litre kegs, fill them with ale and use those stoppers in the top to extend the shelf life.

Me neither, but my wife's brother says it's very much an acquired taste - as in one you acquire when you just want to get slaughtered asap and don't care what your head and guts feel like tomorrow.

Yup, that's why supermarkets sell those really small pizzas, the ones about 6"-7" diameter. Just dip them in batter and hoy them into the deep frier.
