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!

another bloody yank

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...!

MsElui

speck aint nothing like bacon - lol - i lived in dusseldorf for a year and found speck a bizarre thing!

Swiss Tony is a gunny character on the fast show too!

Welcome to be!

Swisstony

Thanks Ms Elui

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???

That depends... what exit?

Swisstony

Ah

I'm vaguely aware of what you are asking. but I don't know the answer.

Morris County?

moving to New Jersey is like making love to a beautiful woman.

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.

Welcome to NJ Tony, where in Morris County are you?

MsElui

ah that explains why the instant slop in a cup i end up drinking is not particularly satisfying!
