Huh. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM
Juices down there are called "aguas frescas," which translates to fresh waters. It never made sense to me that I'd be offered fresh water and receive sugary fruit juice.

Do they use the "Spanish Spanish" term as well? Is it jugo de fruta?

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1592 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 1024 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1144 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 472 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 662 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 624 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1297 Views

*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 1050 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1078 Views
I mostly mean meat on a stick, with the occasional veggie, roasted over fire or grilled. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:14:43 AM 1092 Views
Ah. In Britain, "kebab" means Doner Kebab. I think they call the other one Shish Kebab. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:17:56 AM 1010 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1081 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1099 Views
Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:24:57 AM 1181 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 1055 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1191 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 620 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1211 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 1085 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 562 Views
Uhg! I went to Scotland and ate nothing deep fried! Ben! Where is my Mars bar??? *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:03:22 AM 499 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 668 Views
Maybe he figured you didn't want to eat American food staples while you were there. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/09/2010 12:26:30 AM 667 Views
But the Fried Mars Bar is for some reason, a Scotish national dish! We did have great food though mm *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 04:32:10 AM 659 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1181 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1156 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1113 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1065 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1096 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 1003 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1122 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1247 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 1010 Views
Might be used for tomatoes too, sure. But zumo de naranja, zumo de manzana, etc., all works. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:01:47 AM 1171 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1143 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 694 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 1009 Views
I don't know if that's weirder than manskirts, musical vacuum cleaners and eating sheep guts... *NM* ßelals Girl - 08/09/2010 11:40:03 PM 694 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1166 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 693 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1210 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1128 Views
Okay. We'll just have to conclude they're really, really obscure/rare in most of those countries. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:00:07 AM 653 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1079 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 665 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1185 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 552 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 634 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 659 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 629 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1181 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1196 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 662 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 653 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 686 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 647 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 647 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 1073 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 1083 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1253 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 1028 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1064 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1085 Views

How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 1041 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1080 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 607 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 639 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1178 Views

I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 617 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 627 Views

As Rebekah said, the SNP needs to keep its supporters hungry. Tim - 09/09/2010 10:51:33 AM 1088 Views
True, but... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:25:31 PM 1122 Views
They can blame being a minority government, and the recession. Tim - 10/09/2010 02:29:54 PM 1393 Views

Hopefully. I am at work right through to 11pm, should get to the chippie around 7pm.... Michael - 10/09/2010 03:01:02 PM 1099 Views
