If you don't drink enough water with alcohol, you can become dehydrated quickly. 4% beer means you are drinking 24 times as much water as alcohol. I have never waken up with a "mouth like a badger's arse" when drinking just beer. Back in the day when I would drink anything I could get my hands on, it was a different matter. You’re just not trying hard enough then!  |

Personally I've never tasted a badger's arse so I can't speak to the matter.

Made a few tweaks to my Deadpool list so far for next year but too soon to post it. Coming soon to a BOGBS forum near you though.

I have no idea what grits are. Don't think I've ever seen them on a menu.

I was served them on my first visit to the USA.
I'll be a 'gentleman' and call them revolting.

I think you have to grow up with it. Does Oklahoma count as the South? That's the only time I've spent much time outside of the Northeast and I never went to breakfast while I was there. Anywhere else, I was just passing through and usually didn't grab breakfast. |

How about corn muffins? I like corn muffins and they are made with corn meal, flour, and other ingredients. Grits, and shrimp and grits are more of a southern thing but I think they are delicious.
That got me thinking, has anyone ever had vegemite?

That got me thinking, has anyone every had vegemite? An Australian friend, who knew I like Marmite, told me it was "Australian Marmite".
Well Marmite has a mixed sweet/ salty flavour and defintely does not have a nasty bitter aftertaste that Vegemite does.
Apparently many Vegemite eaters can tolerate and get to enjoy Marmite, but not vice versa!

A friend from Australia came to visit and brought Vegemite. We tried it on toast one morning, and I tossed the jar a few weeks later. I did not try Marmite when I visited England, mainly because I figured it was the same as Vegemite.

Hey now, before you go bashing American cuisine, my friend posted her chicken parmesan on Facebook tonight. Apparently, it consists of parmesan cheese mixed with spaghetti sauce over some sort of chicken abomination. When I saw that, my crush faded away because I realized she was bat shit. |

The main problem with American cuisine is that 75% of it involves a yellow rubbery product.

Jim, That sounds like chicken Alfredo which is delicious. |

Our favorite restaurant that is right up the street from my house has the best food ever. We have been all over the world and had some amazing cuisine but the Hyeholde restaurant near us can't be beat. The variety is amazing and they have food flown in from around the world. One of the best pieces of fish I have ever had was Dover Sole. It is literally fish near the cliffs of Dover and was flown into the Hyeholde. We had our wedding reception there over 20 years ago and we frequent the restaurant at least four or five times a year. I have included a link to the restaurant below. It was an old castle years ago. As I have said it is so close to my house. I can have a reservation at 6 pm and leave my house at 5:55 pm and I won't be late. The only thing that I would say that I am not crazy about is that they relaxed the dress code. You couldn't enter the restaurant years ago without a jacket and tie. If you did they would give you a jacket and tie. If you refused to put it on they would not allow you in the restaurant. It has become business casual now but I have seen people in there with ripped jeans and a Led Zeppelin t-shirt. But, since the castle has a lot of neat individual rooms they tend to seat people that are dressed similarly in the same areas. I think there should still be places where you have to dress up. I know the country club we go to that our friends invite us to a lot still requires a suit and a tie. Hyeholde Best Food Ever |
