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 1904 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 1249 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1405 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 561 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 786 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 734 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1556 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 1362 Views

*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 1252 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1217 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 1381 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 1149 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1280 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1384 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 1427 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 1404 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1534 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 745 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1556 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 1388 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 658 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 581 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 774 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 784 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 741 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1564 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1298 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1397 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1266 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1285 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 1290 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1392 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1587 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 1362 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 1434 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1410 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 795 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 1122 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 788 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1469 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 783 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1387 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1342 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 764 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1371 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 774 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1400 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 712 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 745 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 772 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 727 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1496 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1468 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 762 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 758 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 779 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 747 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 753 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 1378 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 1430 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1512 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 1281 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1273 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1360 Views

How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 1294 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1282 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 712 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 728 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1431 Views

I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 701 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 725 Views

As Rebekah said, the SNP needs to keep its supporters hungry. Tim - 09/09/2010 10:51:33 AM 1427 Views
True, but... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:25:31 PM 1481 Views
They can blame being a minority government, and the recession. Tim - 10/09/2010 02:29:54 PM 1708 Views

Kebab deliciousness, to the power of ten? Maybe? Elaine - 10/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 1392 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 1325 Views
