..to which your answer should be - "it depends on which part of the body you're referring to.."

Just like people think Home and Away, Neighbours, Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin portray typical Australia!

Aren't they o.O

Skippy?

*Boing boing boing*

On an unrelated note, my polish plumber told me I had "The lovely English accent"

I hope he doesn't mess with too many of my pipes

I like your towel!

UNEDITED quote from someone who was asked why she wanted to move to London....

PS, have NO idea what beignets are....

A beignet (pronounced /bɛnˈjeɪ/, French for "fried dough") in the U.S. is a pastry made from deep-fried dough, much like a doughnut, and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar, or frostings. Savory versions of beignets are also popular as an appetizer, with fillings such as maple or fruit preserves.

In France, beignet is an umbrella term for a large variety of pastries made from deep-fried dough with fruit filling. The tradition of deep-frying fruits for a side dish dates to the time of Ancient Rome. Names for beignet recipes vary throughout France: beignets, bugnes, merveilles, oreillettes, beignets de carnaval, bottereaux, tourtisseaux, corvechets, ganses, nouets, vautes and others.

The term beignet can be applied to two varieties, depending on the type of pastry. The French doughnut beignet in the United States is simply a deep-fried choux pastry; this variety is very similar to Italian zeppole or the German spritzkuchen. Also, beignets can be made with yeast pastry, which might be called boules de Berlin in French, referring to Berliner doughnuts which have a spherical shape (i.e. they do not have the typical doughnut hole) filled with fruit or jam. This variety is similar to the Polish pÄ…czki and to the Portuguese Bola de Berlim.

The western parts of Germany use the term beignet for variants having a fruit filling while referring to other variants as Krapfen.

In the US, beignets are associated with the city of New Orleans where they are served at restaurants such as Café du Monde. They are also the official state doughnut of Louisiana.

In Corsica, beignets made with chestnut flour (Beignets de farine de châtaigne) are known as fritelli.

Amazing...did you write the Wiki?? It said EXACTLY the same!!

Where did you think they got it from ..

Beignets oh yes please!!! Cafe du Monde would be great but right now would settle for Huey's on the River here in Savannah. Sitting there in the bar area EARLY before the tourists are stirring, watching the BIG boats come down the river and going under the bridge.

Oh yeah, just reminded me of something

Classic. I haven't been asked the queen question yet (probably because I'm Scottish and round here most people seem able to differentiate between Scottish and English accents, though they generally plump for Australian). I'm sunk if I ever do get tat question though, since I have actually met the queen.

That's happened to my dad - got chatting to some random bloke on holiday, and discovered he knew his brother.

My mum complains you can't take my dad anywhere but he meets someone he knows!

It is always strange to me when i am in Scotland and no-one asks me where I am from.................if nothing else it is a great conversation starter
