Also the best fries/chips are KFC but only in Australian because they use chicken salt down here on the chips and chicken salt is Australia's greatest contribution to food cultute and virtually unknown outside australia.

No healthcare though. Just great hot sauce.

As I told my (Canadian) wife before we moved to Canada, we don't drink tea we throw it in the river. Because we prefer rum and hate that tea wasn't taxes but rum was.

This would change dramatically if I were able to go to a country in south america or asia though i stead of Europe.

The only time Americans drink tea is when they have a cold. The kettle is just that fancy-looking thing on grandma's stove she never uses.

My wife and I did an England-Scotland-Ireland trip a few years back and one of our most fondly remembered meals was Indian food we got from a grocery store cafe in Edinburgh, partially because a large European soft drink cup is a small American, but also because we got hustled into a terrible and overpriced Indian restaurant on the London leg of the trip.

I have an electric kettle and use it to make tea every morning (chocolate nut maté) and evening (fresh mint or lemon basil from the garden). Lemon basil smells and tastes like Fruit Loops.

Its genetics like how some people asparagas makes their piss smell virulent or supertasters who taste bitter at much higher percentages than normal so beer and coffee are undrinkable. Not insanity.

Brasky used to ride upon a steed, perchance to spy a lady.

The usage is typically that coriander is the seed and cilantro is the leaf.
