OMG Carr.
I had to put my head back and guffaw at that.
It was perfect, from the subject matter to the quote.

I now you're right, Bruce.
I've just been sharing my health woes with Carruthers via PM. I was very grumpy that day.
Let's just say that orifices other than baby's mouths can feel like they're stoppered up.

Thank goodness for healthy young breeders who supply us with the helicopter pilots of the future.

Why couldn't they simply say egg plant?

Clodfobble · 01-24-2015, 06:41 PM

Aubergine I can remember because I think of it as a color, and that circles me back to eggplant. But courgette? I cannot keep the line between that and zucchini, it just won't stick.

WTF is arugula?

Something food eats.

Clodfobble · 01-24-2015, 06:58 PM

It's just a particular salad green. Maybe you call it colewort or roquette? I've never heard those names, but they sound Britishy.

Sundae · 01-24-2015, 07:04 PM

Rocket I think.
Or coriander.
I get confused. Which could cause a problem were I ever ordering salad in the States. Omg! something else to worry about!

Oh no, because you see ordering a salad is such a rare occurrence for anyone here, it would just come with whatever one green the restaurant kept on hand in the kitchen for the two salads on their menu, which are really both the same except one comes with egg and bacon and the other comes with cheese and croutons. You'd be lucky if it weren't iceberg, and the waitstaff wouldn't know the specifics if you asked.

DanaC · 01-25-2015, 05:24 AM

Yeah, it's rocket.

Where here is Texas

Clodfobble · 01-25-2015, 12:51 PM

True enough.

Sundae · 01-25-2015, 01:29 PM

How about Wyoming & Colorado?

Nah - here, I have to ask what a salad constitutes too, so I'm not being all Billy big bollocks.
Most small places make salad the same way Mum & Dad did in the 70s - limp lettuce, big chunks of tomato and cucumber and a dollop of Heinz salad cream. Sophistication is a sprinkling of cress.

This is why Mum STILL thinks I don't like salad (it came up over Christmas 2014) because I love 85% of ingredients I consider to be salad ingredients but dislike all of the above (I'll eat limp lettuce and dice tomato if it's free, but you'd have to pay me to eat cucumber or celery).

Ditto vegetables... because I don't like cauliflower or Brussels Sprouts.
Meh. Mums & daughters, eh?

But when I get squired to the North Western States I promise to eat meat til I sweat blood.
Well, maybe not quite that much. But not to moan anyway.
And when Clod osts me in Texas I'll eat avocado on burgers without even a bun in sight.

I can adapt.

Clodfobble · 01-25-2015, 03:54 PM

Ha! We're having avocados on burgers tonight! Except there will be buns, coconut-flour style.
