Guest Masonic Boom Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/7131248/Co-op-sausage-rolls-lose-their-badly-worded-labels.html Quote The Co-op is reprinting labels on sausage rolls that had been sold as "ambient". It was nudged into action by the Plain English Campaign, which said it didn't know what the word meant. The campaign has a point, even if the meaning was simply that the rolls were neither chilled nor hot, but chambré. These are turbid waters, for after a somewhat rarefied existence of 400 years, ambient has exploded into life in the past generation. Brian Eno is not without blame for using it of his Music for Airports album (1978). Now we have ambient house and ambient techno, and even ambient marketing, heaven help us. Ambience is all around. By the year 2000 ambient was embraced by Retail Newsagent as the mot juste for unchilled bottled water. The poor sausage roll had no chance of resisting its advances – until today. Next up: Goa trance pork pies, happy hardcore Cornish pasties and techno scotch eggs?

Guest Masonic Boom Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Surely an ambient sausage roll would be an Ambien wrapped in a layer of Klonopin!

perunamuusi Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use to buy some nasty cheap teabags, that just said storage : ambient, which at the time i thought a little strange, but the dictionary definition of Ambient (in my dictionary at the time) merely said "in a cool dry place" hence the classic "ambient techno" track, "in a cool dry place" from the System 7 album 777 [/cool story bro] Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/53072-ambient-sausage-rolls/#findComment-1231046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Masonic Boom Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 You know, I posted this on another electronic music forum that I hang out on, and there were two pages of suggestions. I guess it's true the IDM crowd are severely lacking in imagination. Come on! Dubstep Bagels! Jerkin' Jerk Chicken! Minimal Fish N Chips!
