They aren't vegetarian as the red ones are coloured with cochineal. Not that I'm saying you are vegetarian it's just interesting trivia. You might be a vegetarian though, it's hard to tell in print.

Jeez, what have I started here?

Smarties are the new marmite. (And share several letters).

Thanks for that, had a craving for a Pernod and black the other night, went into the liquor store and asked the bird behind the counter where her mixers were because I was after some blackcurrant cordial.

The look on her face (to steal a Peter Kay phrase) was as though i'd just walked into her house on Xmas day and p***ed on her kids :eek:

1st error = no idea what a 'mixer' was
2nd error = cordial :confused: wtf

I left with some spiced rum and root beer.

I'm not, but I think most of the people I know are ;) Thinking of going veggie at some point maybe. I already drink soy milk and eat tofu so it wouldn't be hard! I couldn't give up fish though ...

Re: british food
 

you could always become a Pescetarian

I drink soy milk (dairy allergy) and eat tofu but I am firmly an omnivore...

Re: british food

Re: british food
 

Oh Moo! I know that look so well:( Usually at crimbo time when we sell down vests and I call them body warmers:eek: Or when people ask me what a FOG OFF (chamois sponge) is for and I call the windshield a windscreen, I am so used to getting this look::huh:

Re: british food
 

But you've been here long enough to not be using those words and phrases...no?:p

Re: british food
 

Your very welcome. Yes I have converted and in the main I do speak the Canadian, but sometimes, when I don't think, I will come out with the English word, especially when the Canadian isn't sure what something is called or is describing something, or if I'm really busy or tired. It's good for conversing I suppose, they then tend to ask me some more englishism's.:thumbsup::rofl:

Re: british food
 

Their is no such thing as Soy milk, its Soy juice at best:eek: we grow soya beans here and they cant be milked:rofl:

I can thoroughly confuse patients asking them to take their shirt off and leave their vest on. Or trousers off and pants on. I learned that one quickly- always always say leave your underpants on. It can be so gruesome otherwise.

Re: british food
 

That's a good idea actually! :D I like to call it "vegequarian" ... ha ha.

Re: british food
 

Oh Bless:rofl::wub:
