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.

lol, I acknowledged but it was in a post to zoobyshoe. Next time you are in a Cockney restaurant, tell the chef his food has the consistency of Henry the Third. :rofl: :wink:

What sort of food do they sell at a Cockney restaurant? The great East London cuisine of pie and chips? Of course, that comes free with a pint of lager and a blazing row.

A raw salted herring, hold it by the tail fin, dip in some raw onion, and enjoy :biggrin:
Now there is something you can treat yourself with :smile:

Yeuch... sounds like the sort of filthy stuff they eat here in Norway.

They also have this strange one involving a fish, a hole in the ground, some urine and waiting a year... yummy!

Is that the stuff they call Gevelkefisk? (or something like that...) We have some scandanavians in our area and they eat some kind of weird fish thing about which everyone says 'you have to develop a taste for it...' :eek:
 
  • #42
Monique, are you part sea lion? :rofl:
That sounds like what we used to feed the seals and sea lions at Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco!

Maybe it's lutefisk. "smelly old dried fish soaked in lye"

And then there's that rotting shark stuff that they eat in Iceland, I mean they literally let it rot for several months, all slimy and smelly. It was on National Geographic.

Hey, you guys just have underdeveloped taste buds :biggrin: :rofl:

Hmm, if I want my tastebuds 'developed' I'd much rather do it with a curry.

How about making a snack of these krinkle-cut French fries while throwing that cheeseburger and chocolate shake down your throat;

Polly said:
Me too, just love them, especially in winter time. Do you know the are great for our *ahem* intelligence too :biggrin: ?

Really? I had never heard that. Is that true for all nuts or just peanuts?

I will never ask for a Henry again - the chocolate candy bar sold in the US.

Peanuts seem to be quite effective when cooked with water (steamed, boiled, stewed or in soup), the other nuts don't seem to have that "side-effect".
 
  • #57
What "intelligence" or "side effect" is this?

NEGATRON, dude. But I can now see why you would think that. Plus, I don't have the right plumbing. The closest I could ever have come will have been when I passed a kidney stone that closely resembled a sea urchin. :surprise: :cry: :eek:

Hmm.. speaking of peanuts, my favorite snack is peanut butter & crackers.

Any brand of BBQ-flavored potato chips, washed down with fully-sugared Coca Cola. Hard to beat, folks.

Don't forget the scones and clotted cream!

Gawd Blimey, them crusty dragons somehow ended up in me nosh! Crikey!

Oh, dear something (eg.a fly) has landed in my food. Dang.

That definitely throws the spanner in the works.

That's screwed that plan up/that has ruined that.

The wonky, headcased duff was absobloodylootely gormless and a bunch of sixes and sevens.

That guy is crazy

He'd better gimme another crumpling bugger all, else id be cheesed off.

I better get some more food (eg. a crumpet) or I will be very annoyed.

:biggrin:

Speaks for itself.

Interesting. According to the online British slang dictionary I used, a "crusty dragon" registered as a booger. :biggrin:

I guess I screwed up there.

bluntly put. The original is slightly too long, no?
 
  • #69
Oooh that's a new one, I didnt know crusty dragon was a booger. I would have just said a piece of snot. :biggrin:

Thanx Math is Hard, maybe I can improve communication that way!

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.
