I've seen a fair bit of discussion about Roundworld equivalents of Dwarf bread, but I can't help feeling that Dorset knob biscuits might take the- the, ah, the thingy.

As a person who grew up in Dorset where these pebble-like delicacies were sold in nearly every shop, I can say truthfully that I've never ever seen anyone eating one, but that if loaded into a slingshot they could probably break windows.

'Infusions of Virtue'

"Both the wild hedge-row, and the working garden, provide the green-doctor with highly virtuous worts whose potencies may not only be employed within the creation of charms, or for burning to issue forth their powers within magical rites and workings. These gifts may also be made great use of to prepare potent infusions to give their virtue, aid and strength unto the needs of body, mind, and the spirit.

Here follow but some of the various worts and their virtues enjoyed within West Country infusions;

Bramble Leaves

The Leaves of the Bramble, or Blackberry, are good for the trearing of cankers or ulcers in the mouth and the throat.

Camomile

The Camomile is good for the soothing aching stomachs, for ulcers and for the pains of teething.

Elderberry

The ripe Elderberry is good against phlegm and for the suffering sinuses.

Elderflower

The Elderflower is good for relief from fevers, and with honey it is good for chills.

Melissa

The Melissa, or Lemon Balm, is good for the treatment of depression, arracks of anxiety, and for the circulation.

Mugwort

The Mugwort is good for colds of the head.

Nettle

The Nettle is good for the digestive system and works against pleurisy and infections of the throat.

Pennyroyal

The Pennyroyal makes an elixir to be drunk for enlivening of the spirit and against fatigue.

Periwinkle

An infusion of the Periwinkle will encourage passions and love within those who partake of it.

Rosemary

Infusions of the Rosemary should be applied to the scalp to ward against hair loss and to encourage strong regrowth. Some say that the potency of this infusion is enhanced greatly by collecting the water to be employed from the hollows in the roots of great Beech Trees.

Sage

Infusions of the potent Sage should be drunk regularly for good health, long life, and to ward off lethargy.

Thyme

The Thyme is good for the treatment of sore throats, headaches and insomnia. Valerian The Valerian creates an infusion that will draw love unto its drinker."

The Poole Bay wreck, whose timbers have been dated to be 1242 and 1265, has the potential to rewrite historical understanding in areas from shipbuilding techniques to trade routes to just how 13th century Britons sourced their gravestones.

Tom Cousins, one of the Bournemouth University archaeologists working on the site, said: “Very few 750-year-old ships remain for us to be able to see today and so we are extremely lucky to have discovered an example as rare as this, and in such good condition.”

Yeah, no offence to the North of England and Scotland, but I've visited there a few times and like, your cider selection is shite. Lovely places otherwise but I'm pretty sure that you (collectively) think Strongbow is good and not what it actually is, which is fermented apple tango. I need proper West Country cider, something that tastes like the orchard.

I love that this is like, your main beef with the north lmao. I like a good strongbow dark fruits but I’m not the best person to ask considering I like my alcohol to taste as much like juice as possible. I’ve had “proper” West Country cider and frankly it tastes like apple flavoured turpentine. That shit could strip the paint off a boat
