Snacks and surprises (without the surprises)

In summary, the conversation discussed various people's favorite snacks, including poppadoms, beef jerky, purple jellyfish, warm salted nuts, boiled peanuts, tortilla chips, prairie oysters, olives, white chocolate Reese's, Kosher dill pickles, apple slices with peanut butter and cinnamon, larks' tongues, and peach smoothies. Some also shared unique or unusual snacks, such as purple jellyfish warmed in the microwave, a la mode with vanilla ice cream, or boiled peanuts cooked by a friend from India. There was also a brief discussion about the origin of the phrase "there is more than one way to skin a cat" and some jokes about Cockney cuisine.

I think that's the only one I didn't know :wink:

But of course, us southerners have a much more sophisticated vocabulary, tentatively venturing to use sesquipedalian colloquialism whenever in the propinquity of educated discourse.

If you catch my drift.

Matt


quite dear fellow, quite. How Southern are you?

What an absurd suggestion. Educated man, educated!

jimmy_p: Born in Essex (I am not proud of my heritage), raised near Cambridge and University in London - Kensington you know. I think that would put me safely in the 'soft southerner' category.

Oh, rather. Top hole to that one old bean. My humble abode is set up in a very soft and Southern most area of good old Blighty. Southampton doncha know!

Southampton eh? A splendid part of the world if you don't mind my saying so. I have a veritably sound aquaintance who originates from a vicinity not far from there and I must confess that they are most agreeable.

Uh, well, as long as it doesn’t taste like fish! :biggrin:

I'm not sure about the night of Ouzo and Greek dancing any time soon. Our nephew - -Tsu's sister's kid - was just stationed in Honolulu [military] and Tsu has been scrutinizing our Air Miles account with a magnifying glass ever since. So far, it looks like they will drop her off somewhere about 500 miles short of Hawaii! :eek:
