Tea is poisonous to owls without ginger biscuit antidote

Now you've gone and made me hungry. You do know it's the Caliph's responsibility to keep his wifelings fed. What's on the harem menu, O Great One?

I made Fat Tire beer battered chicken and zucchini last night.. brought the left overs to work. numnumnum

[Captain Oates 911]

I thought zucchinis were found in zoos but it's a courgette so that's all right...

Them and Swedes (rudabakers)

Very hard buying food here as you never know what they are, as they change the names to keep the ex colonial masters (2nd nation Americans), starving.

It's tragic, yes. An eggplant doesn't have the same cachet as an aubergine.

But more importantly what are you feeding ME?

Well as your palate has been exposed to fine English delicacies, there is no going back to western cali bush tucker

The best steaks in the world are in Paris - actually just outside Paris where there are no tourists

The best Icelandic haddock with Yorkshire batter (forget all the beer and bilberries and honey and junk they use in the US), is in North West, West Yorkshire.

The best curries are in Bradistan (google it)

Best pork pies are at Wiegman's Otley, Otley

If you want boiled pigs feet with your sauerkraut then my stamping ground is Schwabing, Munich - top place and they know me there. Actually I only drink in Munich as the grub is dire to the extreme apart from the wurst which is the best.

That should keep you from ending up with Anna Recksia

ps why doesn't the US do plain food, they always tip everything into it like it's a plus

All the cheese and stuff on the food and berries and honey they put in the beer. I can't taste the food or the beer - just all this additional junk

*SWOON*

Yes, yes! This all sounds dreamy, a real gourmand's delight, a true compendium of comestibles. (Though I'll skip the pigs feet, ta muchly.) Must I leave the wild and woolly climes of SoCal for this menu? Or shall I find it all waiting for me in the palazzo/harem upon my arrival in the Caliphate of the Cascades? At least I know I shan't go hungry if that's the case -- even if I must share you with the Owl and Val (Sundays only during Andy Rooney), I will take solace in the delights of the kitchen on my off days.

By gum lass tha's got it right on the button there.

and after all that there is rhubarb pie and ruby port with cheese and crackers.

Munich is SO sophisticated. I went in the gents toilet there and they have a VOMITARIUM. I asked my pal who lived there and he confirmed it's a VOMITARIUM. It's like a sink with huge stainless steel vertical gripping bars on each side. You hang on to the bars and do a hughey - then you come back into the beer hall and the waitress (Heidi) gives you a plate of radish to refresh your palate before you sink another 5 litres of Helles. I mean if that isn't the pinnacle and the marker of a truly civilized culture ? When will the US ever catch up with that ? Never mind the moon landings which were of limited relevance to real people.

In Tenerife, they think parked up convertibles are for that purpose so rent a hard top there.

Glad to know my thinking is in line with yours, sweet Alan. Pie and port and cheese and crackers sounds infinitely delightful. I am VERY much looking forward to moving to that there harem.

And the concept of a vomitarium is truly the mark of a sophisticated society. The Romans invented underfloor heating and of course had their own vomitaria; it is merely accepting the reality of a Munich beer hall to provide a specialised receptacle for the inevitable result of being deep in one's cups. Although I am a little disturbed to see you praising German culture this way. I suppose given the result of Sunday's game you feel understandably let down by an England that would produce that team; keep in mind though the pork pies and bacon and tea and port and fish and chips and mushy peas, oh mushy peas, and Landlord, pints and pints of Landlord.

Ta for the top tip on Tenerife -- I shall leave the Mustang parked in Burbank.

Well of Course Germans aren't really Germans as they were separate kindoms not so long since. I have a pal in Berlin where even the women are 6 foot 8" and ride pedal cycles and are very sensible

Then there are the Bavarians who are a foot shorter and are dark haired unserious crazies and more to my liking.

There was an incident in the first world war where the Bavarians raised a banner over their trench - it read: "Don't shoot now, the Prussians are taking over here tomorrow"

The Prussians raised a banner which said "Gott mit uns" (god with us)

The English raised a banner which said "We have got mittens too"

Okay, that made me giggle immoderately.
