  1. White rabbits...the kids' favourite...they used to think it was funny to watch kids not used to eating them trying to peel off the paper

  7. Cool Hand Luke??........put you off eggs for life edited to add I see WHT solved this at 0650 see aove
  8. Yes that is correct. Until December 20, 1999. It is now a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. Much like Hong Kong. It is like saying "I don't know what to do with you yet because you are not communistic. I will deal with you later." One country, two systems. Any Portuguese influences in the food? You bet ya! There were a few thread discussions in the China forum on that. That's where we got our Dan Tart! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_tart ← And I thought Dan Tarts were all ours!! My favorite dessert. I do remember now reading the threads about Portuguese influence here, but the memory ain't what it used to be. BTW, I think Chinese food would be perfect for an RV, esp. if you have a wok burner. ← that RV is bigger than a lot of houses near us
  9. someone's got to be singing that
  10. I love the Coen Brothers, I love Frances McDormand and I loved Fargo
  11. How about "Not Spaghetti, Linguini" ← Sounds like Felix being pedantic in The Odd Couple??
  12. Casablanca??
  13. 'Memoirs of a Geisha'???
  14. 'hot sausage and mustard, cold jelly and custard'...is it Oliver, my brain is singing the lines
  15. Donna Leon's books set in Italy are full of amazing descriptions of the food consumed by her main character, the policeman Brunetti
  16. Peter, I have been glued to your wonderful reports. Laos is one of my favourite places on earth and you bring back so many memories; I can smell your posts (sounds silly). the last time I was going there and had the visa in my passport there were a few bombings etc and I was loathe to take the kids. (they got there anyway on 2 school trips through the French school they were going to in Hong Kong and also just loved it.) Now I'm just itching to return, thanks so much to you and your family for sharing your experiences. Oh, how is flying internally these days?? Must admit my legs used to shake getting on the old Russian planes that seemed to crash with monotonous regularity
  17. I second Charmaine Solomon's Complete Asian Cookbook. I bought mine in 1976 and I must admit after living in several very hot countries it is a tad mildewy but still going strong I also take Leviathan's point about there being more finesse and detailed knowledge in some cookbooks devoted purely to a particular cuisine

    Dinner! 2007

    I scrolled down to the bread Marlene and an involuntary 'ooh' came out of my mouth.....they really are perfect
  19. No. 67. 'ah, dessert, chilled monkey brains'....Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom As the only cartoon penguin film I'm aware of is 'Happy Feet', that's what I'm guessing for No. 68 but the only frog eating I can think of is the biology teacher who has been possessed by aliens eating a formaldehyde pickled frog in Invaders from Mars.......
  20. that was always a good memory for me as well however, a bad one involved the wooden spoon meeting my butt or my arm when I did something bad as kid ← that MAY be how I broke one of mine ......my son MAY remind me of it every now and then (no wonder he ended up working in a kitchen)
  21. I'm a 'normal' but I always smell my food. The question about sauces on the side is more American than continetal or English as well. No one I know does it (unless they are American )
  22. the killing of horses for food is banned or you could pretend that there really was a ban on vegemite
  23. hmmm, interesting Forest, if brief....first time I've been called normal for ages
  24. as I spent most of my childhood out behind the breaks on a board with my legs dangling in the water and have watched every surfing movie known to man I think the meatball sandwiches are from Point Break..... the movie's title is referring to the great right point break at Bells Beach where the end of the movie is set. Is that No. 36??
