Oohhhhhh...

But lard makes the flakiest pie crusts!

My mother-in-law used to swear by rendered bear grease for the same purpose.

Stick with me, mate! I'll teach you all the bad American slang.

Let's start with "Toss Your Cookies" since we are going Drinking Around the World.

Randall

P.S.- Is "Fosters" really Australian for beer?

Hugging the porcelain prince!


OK here ya go...


Brittish = American

Chips = Fries
Crisps = Chips
Fizzy Orange =Orange Soda
Still Orange =Orange Juice
Lemonaide =Sprite

And whatever you do, dont ask where you can get a cigarette by asking "Is there anywhere I can buy a......................."

OK you got me. I hardy understand a word in this thread I started. But I'll give it a try:

"Toss your cookies" - Never heard of that but I' rather not write what I think it means to keep this board clean.

"Is there anywhere ...." I am completely lost here

And if fosters is Australian for beer. Don't think so but Australian beer is not so common in Austria.

And hugging the porcelain prince might be the same as we say "hugging the porcelain altar" which brings me back to the cookies and if there is any connection to this my first guess was wrong.

Sent ya a PM.

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Sent ya a PM.

Oi!

Brill or Brilliant = awesome
Chav = trailer trash
Shattered = pooped out
Knackered = also pooped out (must be that whole northern latitudes thing for sleep deprivation...
T*sser = a not very nice thing to be called (ABSOLUTELY -- not to be confused with Tossing one's cookies -- LOL!)
Marmite = a not very nice thing to eat on toast
Rug = horse blanket
Tons more obscure horse terms that I won't bother everybody here with and oddly *well -- to me at least*, my English horsey budz tend to have potty-mouths. It is VERY liberating!)

Thank you Horse & Hound Online for helping me to become me a Citizen of the World!

p.s. -- That was an English "Oi!" not a Yiddish "Oi!" but it kinda works either way...

As a British granny once told me and a friend during GayDays...

"I we had known you poufters were going to be here, we never would have come, but it's been brilliant!"

I wish you a great Disney trip in December, it is my favorite Disney Season. I wish the DVC timeshares were not so competitive to get at this time, without a lot of pre-planning.

I grew up with my Buby (grandmother) who made home made chopped chicken liver from scratch, using the hand cranked grinding machine, the schmaltz, it was the best ! Now I am content with Beef Chopped Liver, but it isn't quite as good, and comes from the Deli.

What I really miss even more is her Kreplach ! (Peasant version kind of a chicken ravioli, but way better than that sounds).

Have fun in Disney.

Hugs, Phil

Hmmmmmm...seems like it would take quite a few chickens (not to mention TONS of work)

Hi Everyone,

just returned from a business stay in Sofia, Bulgaria and I am proud to present a totally new giblets recipe in addition to chopped liver. "Fried chicken hearts". They also don't look very nice but smell quite good and as long as they're hot taste quite good. Though I wouldn't recommend to eat a whole plate.

Guess it will also need a lot of chickens for a Bulgarian family dinner

Started to open my advent calender today, as there are only 24 days left to our vacation!!!!!!!
