Ah, dbd33, it is so easy to wind you up, as the Brits say! You crack me up! So, you shall never say "East Indian", eh??!! Oh dear, maybe you should leave the colony and move back to the mother country, eh? You might feel much more comfortable here with your superior attitude! Ahh, come on now, quit acting so posh - hey, another cool Brit word introduced to us by the Spice Girls- and get off your high horse!!! Chill out man and have a Kokanee! Or two or five! Really, chill, relax! Now, promise me you'll stop being such a smart ass (yes, we say that) and play nice! Or we shan't play at all then, you and I ! I'll just play with all the other lovely folks here.
And oh, why, why, dbd33, did you have to remind me???? Gravy on fries! Oh, how I miss gravy on fries! Nooooooo! Now, I want some! Oh, bloody hell, I'm going to make some of me own one day!
Anya, cheeze whiz is different from Kraft dinner. Cheese Whiz is melted cheese that comes in a jar. (If it was processed anymore, it would actually be plastic! But, I love it ! )
Anyways, gotta go down to the corner shop. It's run by a lovely East Indian family- I'll see if I can buy some gravy mix !

Cheers (another great word, doubles as goodbye and thanks, right? Very nice! I thought Brits only said it in the movies!)

Um, I know. I'm a Canadian, born and raised. I thought you were looking for both Kraft Dinner and Cheese Whiz?

Turquoise

No Anya, I was just looking for Cheeze Whiz. I like to make my own version of Kraft dinner by mixing Cheeze Whiz with macaroni. Cheeze Whiz is also good for making perogies as using real cheese can be expensive. Funny the things you miss when you live in different country! And yes, Kraft peanut butter. The peanut butter here is, well, can't compare to good old Kraft peanut butter. My fiancee thinks the peanut butter he gets me from his native South Africa is the best but I need to set him straight!

I really wonder if the Canadians or Brits are more amused by this thread. This is too great; we both think the other is insane.

Me, I still nearly die every time I go to England and a person tells me he's going to have a fag.

dbd33

Kokanee? Ha! PBR is a better beer and cheaper.

Turquoise

I like Kokanee. I shall never drink PBR.

Lol. It never fails to amuse me in Oz when they talk about wearing thongs.

This one guy in a snowboard shop said he liked to wear thongs all summer! I had to tell him that had a WHOLE different meaning in England.

on the general subject what the hell are californian ceilings. i keep mmm'ing, when described to me by realtors but havn't the foggiest.

dbd33

Is that perhaps a cathedral ceiling? One where there was a flood or similar which irreparably damaged the plaster so they tore the proper ceiling out and painted the inside of the roof?

hot wasabi peas

I'm not completely sure but I think it means 'white'.
