Hello All,

I signed up as a member AGES ago when my employer first started talking to me about a move to USA. Well, I'm finally here, en famille, in NJ.

So, hello everyone - I look forward to contributing to the forum as well as learing from you all in due course.

In the meantime, for info - no, I'm not Swiss (am from UK originally) - we have just moved from Switzerland - and we miss the mountains!

Hey-ho

Welcome to the US.

Good thing it's only mountains. We have plenty of those. If you were missing something made of unobtainium, like British Bacon for instance, you'd be SOL.

Thanks ABY

having survived 4 years on 'speck' (kind of Germanic bacon substitute) I am perversely finding the US equivalent an improvement...!

Speck sure ain't bacon....

Now, about sausages, that's another kettle of fish entirely, as it were...

Any tips on decent bangers in NJ???

Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk.
