Yuh huh. Phelix Send a noteboard - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 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?


Sure, you can use it, but it's proper and stilted. They'd understand you, but know you weren't native.

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1872 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 1231 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1382 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 548 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 771 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 721 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1534 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 1338 Views
Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1498 Views

*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 1228 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1200 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 1353 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 1129 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1255 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1359 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 1399 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 1375 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1495 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 733 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1532 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 1363 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 646 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 570 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 754 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 772 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 725 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1525 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1274 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1366 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1238 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1263 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 1245 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1360 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1559 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 1334 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 1410 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1386 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 780 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 1101 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 772 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1448 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 772 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1369 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1317 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 751 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1336 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 760 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1376 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 694 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 732 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 759 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 711 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1467 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1447 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 749 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 745 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 768 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 733 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 741 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 1339 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 1403 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1487 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 1253 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1251 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1335 Views

But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1256 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 697 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 716 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1411 Views

I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 685 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 711 Views
