Yesterday, I made fried potatoes and over easy eggs for breakfast. I ate it with a SPOON!

Your Highness, the peasants have no meat.
Let them eat lungs.
But your Highness
And let them eat the heart and liver together with the lungs, and let this be
ground into sausage, mixed with oatmeal, and stuffed into a stomach.
But
And let them enjoy it.

My boss's wife said she thought it was pretty good stuff when she tried it
in Scotland - so how bad could it be?

Sure, if you think sausage should have oats in it. Or organs.

At least hot dogs are pureed so that I can't tell what's in them, on those rare occasions
when I eat one.

As long as you know what's in them, so you can make your own decision.
Unless you don't care, as long as it fits in da piehole.

I always look at the label when I buy hot dogs. It says "beef and pork", but not which
parts of the animal. I'm happier not knowing those particular details.

For sausages that are more coarsely ground, I can tell it's muscle meat.

This was probably some hotel haggis. Perhaps it had less tasty bits in there.

It is a clash of cultures. That's kind of a good thing for tourists from the mainland. They can eat Asian type food but don't have to deal with people that don't speak English. It's also good for Asian tourists because they can come to the US without being hassled for how they look or speak.

I can eat Asian-type food here, dealing with people whose English is light-years better than my
(nonexistent) Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese. It's simply not a problem. I often
wonder where you get your ideas.

I'm pretty sure Asian tourists can come here without being hassled. Of course, there's not much
for tourists to see and do, unless they like college football.

I also have a goal to eat natto. My guess is that it's worse than haggis. I suppose I can have your share too. Thanks a lot!

Why do yoose trolls like to use ruskie servers? What's up with that? I like this picture better. Please use it instead for your lame attempts at photo trolling. Your "work" looks like it was done by a spastic midget.

Thank you. I also look at the labels of Polish sausages and such. If it has
chicken (Hillshire Farms, Eckrich, etc., I pass).

You might like Cacique Pork Chorizo. It's all pork, no burd, and it's cheap!

INGREDIENTS: PORK SALIVARY GLANDS, LYMPH NODES AND FAT, CHORIZO SEASONING (PAPRIKA, SALT, SPICES, MUSTARD, GARLIC POWDER), PORK, VINEGAR, SOY GRITS, SODIUM NITRITE.

Lots of folks consider salivary glands and lymph nodes to be something other than meat so I suppose you could call this stuff "vegetarian." OTOH, if you're into Mexican chorizo, I recommend Reynaldos pork chorizo because it has somewhat less fat and water.

Jill, I don't think that anyone here is "in a love fest" with anyone else here.
One or a few posts that are in agreement doesn't constitute a love fest.
This NG has conflicts galore, but no discernible alliances. Most folks here
have posted at least one disparaging thing about every other poster. That's
the norm. Civility and hostility alternate. It's bizarre. No one is innocent.

That's an ignorant and arrogant thing to say. You wouldn't say that if I was white. The reality is that I'm familiar with American food. I've lived on the mainland and eaten at joints on the mainland including Minnesota and Florida. There ain't nothing about the foods I ate on the mainland that was surprising or new to me. The only food you seem to have knowledge of is the Dataw Island County Club food. Mostly, you could only go on and on about how bad the food is and how stupid the menu was. That's so lame.

The reality is that the chefs of Hawaii have to be knowledgeable least 4 different cuisines to be considered respectable. That would be the bare minimum.

Well everybody has their opinion about what goes on in the USA. You got yours, I got mine. It bugs the crap out of you that nobody cares about your opinion. That's pretty sad but that ain't got nothing to do with me - yoose only think that it does.

I also have a goal to eat natto. My guess is that it's worse than haggis. I
suppose I can have your share too. Thanks a lot!

Well everybody has their opinion about what goes on in the USA. You got
yours, I got mine. It bugs the crap out of you that nobody cares about your
opinion. That's pretty sad but that ain't got nothing to do with me - yoose
only think that it does.

Why do yoose trolls like to use ruskie servers? What's up with that? I like
this picture better. Please use it instead for your lame attempts at photo
trolling. Your "work" looks like it was done by a spastic midget.

Your experience on the mainland is minimal. You know no more about what people on the
mainland eat than we know about what people on your rock eat. The difference is, we're
not arrogant enough to say we know when we're only guessing.

Sure, I tease Julie sometimes. But I never said anything like "Her
daughter should kill Julie for allowing her to become disgustingly obese".

That is borderline psycho, Bryan. It is literal incitement to murder.
Sure, you can tell us who you 'want dead' (the list keeps growing) with
impunity, but you are starting to slip.

I have, in the past, seen people dissappear from Usenet after I made
reports to the FBI for posts with similar sentiment.

I visited many European countries, I never tasted any foods there that
were better than I could eat aboard ship. European cookery is way
over rated, and I long ago figured out why, European cooks are the
cheapest *******s on the planet, well almost as cheap as Oriental
cooks. European cheeses and breads can be good but their cooked foods
suck... I never liked any pizza in Italy, sorry but they don't come
close to a Brooklyn pie... the Italians must export all their cheese
because they never put much on their pizza and other cooked dishes.
Don't go to Europe for their food, and portions are so small you'll
starve. The dearest commodity in Europe has to be refrigeration,
order a beer and it's warm as ****... and those snoots will tell you
that room temperature is how beer is supposed to be.

You have no idea what my experience on the mainland is. When mainland restaurants open up in Hawaii they pretty much keep the same menu and all the locals know what the food items are. We eat local food, we eat Asian food, we eat Hawaiian food, and we eat American food. If you believe that we think that American food is exotic stuff, you're vastly misinformed. You've been stuck in Michigan far too long. Mostly, you've shown yourself to be a local yokel.

Aye, it's a pretty sad state of affairs!
