And I dont know more iron could put you too sleep?!
Oranges are probably the only reason why I would like living in Florida. I can't wait till we get the chance to plant some orange and grapefruit trees in our backyard!:DQuote:

I'm gettin' hungry. Gotta stick up for my state, how 'bout PEACHES.
LOL. Okay, then, I guess I'm obliged to speak in favor of Massachusetts -- how about Chickadees? (Bet they have a lot of iron in 'em.) :p
I live for florida grapefruits, but customs doesn't appriciate the transfer of fruit products from the US. But since when has the government been able to stop the individaul appitite?
GO POTATOS
Oh goodness, a laugh and a half. I love it when things get off track. What was going on before we got into regionally iconic foods? Oh, oranges. I got nothing against oranges. (Wait, the orange topic is my fault, isn't it?)
I'll do California (nearly all fruits) and PA: cherries!
How come Mass. is only known for apples when they're cooked in some kind of pastry? What, no other state can pulverize and overspice their apples? :p
It's better to be known for pulverised and overspiced apples, than deep-fried mars bars and haggis
That is a good point, who would honestly eat that?
Texans deep-fry everything too, don't they? It's kind of like the southern equivalent of chocolate-fonduing everything.
I have to say that i had my first taste of haggis at the Robbie Burns supper i attended in January....no offense to Scotland or anything related...but ugh, what were they thinking????
The rest of the meal was wonderful though.
Having grown up in the Okanagan Valley (BC) I was totally spoiled with fresh fruit available at virtually no cost all the time: peaches, pears, apples, cherries and so on. There were always neighbors with different fruit trees trading off bins and bins of fruits and veggies. And then the canning, freezing, baking....bliss (I wanna go home!)
I think rather than eating all those wonderful fruits, if one wants a better night's sleep, one would be better off spending an afternoon harvesting said fruits. that'll do you in!
Anybody every heard of deep fried pickles? Lousianna.
Eeeeeeewwwwww. That's all I can say: Eww.
Anyone ever heard of a "chip buddy?" (You must have, kilted exile.) They always had them for lunch at my dad's work in Scotland. I think it's something like a hamburger roll with lard and french fries (the big chippy kind). Now, that's good home cooking *puke*
ah, but how about scrapple? :D
pork hearts here, pork butt there...
*tries not to barf
*nearly fails
chip butty, yes yes i have heard of them....and also bacon butty.
butty is the british slang for sandwich
(I used to live with a guy from Manchester)
chuddy is the slang for gum.
bog roll for toilet paper.
so many gooders, there just isnt enough time!
how did this thread go from "I can't sleep" to "I've lost my appetite forever"?
Pork butt's just ham. I don't eat pork though, piggies are just way too smart. I stick to tuna and deli turkey for my protein. Which means it's been about a week since I've had anything but toast or rice krispies to eat :o Don't tell mother.
LOL ohhh I'd never seen it spelled. Well, that makes a hell of a lot more sense.
Loss of sleep and loss of appetite... let's see, what necessity for life shall we scare out of people next? Anyone? Anyone?
um. not a good plan at the end of the semester...wait till after finals.
i mean, really, emily...what a waste of money!
;)
Tsk tsk tsk I'm so extravagant. *Reassociate, damn you, brain -- Frontal Cortex wants to have a turn making decisions!* :D
Jus give her
Speaking of disgusting foods, anyone ever heard of Black and White pudding? My sister got tricked into eating it when she visited Ireland. I don't remember any of the ingredients except pig's blood.
Black pudding is basically congealed pigs blood, I know it doesnt sound very nice, however it tastes brilliant especially with HP sauce. Many a saturday after getting my head kicked in playing rugby I would eat black pudding and potato scone sandwiches (getting hungry just thinking about it.)Quote:

I guess I just have a hard time getting around the blood thing. Then again, my sister is a sort of psychologically picky eater. She stopped eating mid-way through a dinner of venison when my uncle mentioned Bambi.
But how does bloodpudding taste?
Aww Shea, she's less finicky than I am. I think "Bambi" the second I even hear the word venison. Never taken one bite of anything but cow, pig, chicken, turkey, or fishy things. Now I don't even do cow and pig.
The best part of Bambi is when his mother dies and daddy comes up behind him and says, "Your Mother can't be with you now". Rewind, play again.
WHAAAA :( :( :(
*in tears)
Blood pudding is good. So is hagas. Yum.
Blech!
Talking of sleep, I spent my first sleepless night in years alternatively between reading George R. R. Martin and weeding through former post on this forum.
:( :)
That's not a bad way to spend a sleepless night, this forum got me through the hours of quiet, trying not to disturb the sleeping roomate.
I don't think I've gone to bed before sunrise since I discovered this forum. I suppose there are worse things to be doing. Nah, I should be sleeping.
And by the way, simon -- he says "Your mother cannot be with you any longer." :p (Haven't seen it since I was like 7, but that is burned in my brain.)
Thanks for setting me straight, I used to watch it when I was sick and I always rewound and watched that part twice, for some reason it made me laugh, and still does.
Well, I won't be the pot calling the psyche black. ;) We all have our dysfunctions. Who's to say which is sicker? Funny, though, my one memory of watching Bambi is also of rewinding (I'd keep pausing during the scene when he was curled up in a little thicket with his mom and see how pretty a picture I could make. Some amazing painting in that movie.)
The true therapy is to find the pathogeny of your sickness. If there is no certain reasons. Let time cure it.
Who needs to cure their disfunctions, bring on the unique quirky assets of individuality.
hurrah~ simon. i second your motion (if that was actually a motion!)
