you should be nice to User, he is from New England where they have 4 spices, salt, pepper, tabasco and ketchup.
I thought ketchup was a vegetable?

Indeed. The poor French remember their own food (snails, slugs and various other invertebrates, all liberally covered in garlic to disguise the taste), compared it to the towering magnificence of a proper roast dinner the English were serving and, knowing their own chefs were incapable of such brilliance, declared war to try and capture such cookery for themselves.This is the true reason for the thousand year war between France and England. Every time the two sides would sit down to talk peace, and the English were hosting, the French generals and diplomats would take one look at what was being served, and scream: "IT'S WAR!"![]()
I shall remember King's next time I've popped down the road to Solihull (I'm in Acocks Green).
Hmmm. Last time I went to Germany it was to lovely foggy Baden-Baden. Ok, so it was October. Anyway, the beer was goodD) but the food was... variable. Ok, it was average. But the best thing was watching the arrival of the pigs trotter at the next table one evening. They gave that poor sod a bib. And a hat.
Pretty much. Standard operating procedure now seems to be Astro posts an update, you'll get a few pages of discussion, debate, and speculation on future events, and then a short while later when people start waiting for the next update it all takes a wild digression into silliness.![]()

Geez, I only posted the update on Wednesday!!
Well, I always thought it was something for those from the North and Midlands. I discovered a very strange curry sauce in Hampshire. Specifically in Hook's 'Golden Dragon'. Despite the name, it is a chippy, not a chinese takeaway.No one has mentioned curry sauce yet![]()
The 'Dragon's curry sauce actually tastes like curry!Yeah but curry sauce isn't like those things (Or even curry TBH), it's just a sauce. Closest comparison I could give is some sort of thick gravy.
Got a place near us that does that (not a McDonald's, an independent shop), and seems to have found enough of a market to break even, thus far.Anyway, for some reason McDonalds tries out a lot of things in NZ and this time they were trying out a takeaway roast meal. Beef, potatoes, vegetables. I kid you not!
This is my first post in these forums and I wanted it to be here; in one of my favourite threads. I find myself completely inadequate to the task (both in alternate history and culinary matters) but I'll give it a try. After all I'm not an axis warship so I have some chances to remain afloat for a time (until the FAA finds me and sinks me, most likely in a night attack).
My question is: OTL during Dolittle's raid one of the bombers attacked the Yokosuka and damaged the Ryuho. Is there any possibility that McElroy could have found a Japanese warship this time? Given the recent events ttl a few of those could be in need of repairs.

And by the way, Poutine is a vile, disgusting contribution to world cuisine that should have resulted in Quebec being glassed. Repeadely. Just to be certain.![]()
I tend to agree with you on the poutine, Sir Dragon. But it was great fun watching them Yanks goobering it down. It's always a hoot to build up some vile concoction then foist it on somebody and watch the antics ... even better when they've been drinking.
