SG, you'll have to tell us how he liked it.
Here is a Mexican-style casserole. This is the kind of thing that you can make fancy or plain. The basic idea is to layer corn tortillas with other stuff like black beans, cheese, corn, chopped onion, whatever you like. I dip the tortillas in a tomato-based sauce before layering in the pan. |

I believe a "sop" is a meal eaten only in England, consisting of some deeply domesticated foreign food eaten in the belief it is exotic, and eaten at a time of significant national distress, like losing a cricket game.

A 'sop' is a piece of food, usually bread, soaked in liquid (i.e dipped into a broth): that's mainly a medieval usage, but gives rise to the modern term 'sopping wet'
It is also: Quote:
I think that it comes from the idea that the 'sop' soaks up the bad feelings. It is not a foreign or exotic meal:P

I've been shopping at Aldi since I was a little kid. They always have the best cheap sandwich cookies. When I was in Vienna a couple of years ago I noticed a store with an Aldi-like logo. It was called Hofer. I went inside and it turned out to be an Aldi in all but name.
Thought that was funny. I'd always associated Aldi with low socio-economic areas in the US, and here I'd found one in a sketchy part of Wien. The nicest Aldi I've ever seen was in Newcastle. Makes sense I guess. |

An Aldi opened near me. I went in and became very confused and frightened, and had to retreat to a Trader Joe's to hyperventilate over a spiced chai tea and an organic flax seed and pomegranate muffin.
(not really, i just thought it would be fun to compose that sentence) |

I don't like the Aldi stores we have here. There's not a huge variety, and some of the product quality is not exactly what I prefer. It's great for catering kids and teenagers parties though. Lots of cheap lollies, softdrinks and chips.

So it's like a gas station convenience store, but on a larger scale?
