Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM
Shame on them.

But possibly due to the fact that we had lecturers/tutors from everywhere else except Mexico.

That's rather odd... but it makes sense if you studied in Europe to pick up Spanish Spanish. I'm not sure why Aussie Spanish classes wouldn't teach Mexican variants though. ;)

Well. I suspect it's down to who was available in Freezing Cold Dunedin. ;)

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1500 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 979 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1074 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 448 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 637 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 596 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1228 Views

Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1174 Views

*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 995 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1036 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 1020 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 972 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1031 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1031 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 1112 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 975 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1094 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 599 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1092 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 978 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 542 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 487 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 633 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 640 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 631 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1090 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1121 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1048 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1014 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1051 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 923 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1044 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1171 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 910 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 1101 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1073 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 673 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 979 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 668 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1088 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 673 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1167 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1070 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 626 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 972 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 642 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1125 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 525 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 613 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 638 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 604 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1093 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1124 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 633 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 629 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 668 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 622 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 619 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 986 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 993 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1181 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 956 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1004 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1012 Views

How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 974 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1019 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 581 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 615 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1123 Views

I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 584 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 596 Views

As Rebekah said, the SNP needs to keep its supporters hungry. Tim - 09/09/2010 10:51:33 AM 1001 Views
True, but... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:25:31 PM 1033 Views
They can blame being a minority government, and the recession. Tim - 10/09/2010 02:29:54 PM 1301 Views
