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 1728 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 1123 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1249 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 510 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 733 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 683 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1407 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 1208 Views

*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 1133 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1138 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 1227 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 1060 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1161 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1229 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 1289 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 1211 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1337 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 691 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1374 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 1234 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 610 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 532 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 722 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 734 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 689 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1345 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1217 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1249 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1143 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1170 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 1117 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1231 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1395 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 1178 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 1278 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1268 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 735 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 1050 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 739 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1325 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 740 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1294 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1212 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 714 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1203 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 715 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1294 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 630 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 698 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 720 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 670 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1316 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1334 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 710 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 698 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 719 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 694 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 690 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 1220 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 1240 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1365 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 1130 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1148 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1205 Views

But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1166 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 659 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 683 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1300 Views
