The only reference I have seen regarding "joika" is Norwegian for venison
meatballs. Open the can...

JOIKA is not a word of Spanish language origin. I'm pretty familiar with
Mexican food and that is not anything that I ever heard of.

How sure are you that it is Spanish? I googled on joika and got a
reference to canned raindeer meatballs from Norway:


http://www.norwaypost.no/store/asp/p...asp?product=87


It also appears (although it's not clear) that JOIKA is the name of the
company that produces them, not the name of the food. I think that is
true of other canned foods, that the name of the company is in bigger type
than the food item.

Someones askes a question and they're a troll. There can be no discussion of

Your "superior intelligence?" That's a good one, steve. Sort of like Danny
DeVito's "superior tallness." I must say, however, that your sense of humor
takes the cake.

It just seemed like an innocent question. Thats all.

> and saying they're sick of this and sick of that,

Are you sure of that? How? If they choose to "blast Atkins" don't they have
the freedom of speach to do that? And if that subject doesn't sit well with
you then why not simply pass the thread over and move on to something "you"
enjoy talking about? I guess the problem is is that you're not interested in
getting along with others, its much more fun to instigate and stir up shit,
right Steve?

>not to mention

Suspect posts and similar style? Sounds pretty circumstantial. I sure hope
you're not a Federal Prosecutor!

I didn't flame you, I simply pointed out that you can't come into this NG
and post a question without passing it by you first. Ya, know, making sure
everyones papers are in order and such. If it made you feel better to call
me a babbling idiot then I guess you are a better person than me.

I can't tell you the extent of my jealousy Steve. In fact I sit here now
wondering why I bother to live another day when I'll never amount to
anything close to what you've become Steve.


In the end it was just a simple question but if you've been around long
enough you know, there aren't any simple questions in Usenetland. Every
single thread turns into someone (usually the same people) bickering over
the most insane things. I manage to function everyday in the real world
without having to call others names and others don't find a need to call me
names either (school yard type stuff don't ya think?), yet it happens here
quite regularly. Its kind of ironic that the most common offenders of this
childishness also seem to be the ones who proclaim to be the most
intelligent, but how can that be? If you don't ask the question properly,
from the right newshost with a unique style you get labeled a troll and
called names. I remember when Usenet was useful and full of people that were
friendly and courteous to others. Nowadays almost every NG has their "thugs"
that make sure every damn post is checked for spelling, comprehension,
accuracy and whatever else they can find wrong with it so the original topic
is lost within several posts. In a sense these thugs are the "trolls" since
they cause more noise than any of the original posts would have created. I'm
sure glad I don't know any of you people personally.

Definitely not Spanish. The first two ingredients are reindeer meat and
sturgeon.

Come on, Steve, you can't fool us. We all know the cabal (there is no
cabal) met last year and appointed you in charge of authorizing discussion
on this newsgroup. It doesn't matter how many times you deny it, we all
know the truth.

Clearly a Scandinavian language. Pretending it's mashed German plus
English plus Norse and faking some words I get -

Ingredients in cans: reindeer meat, fish meat, water, potato,
salt, milk protein with modification. Sauce: Stuff I can't even
guess.
Net weight 400g, serving size 200g
Store something with refrigerator
Best for use by 2008

Wow cream of reindeer stew. Rudolph and all.

That must be the ø which is not used in Spanish (and especially not
in Mexicanian).

> Definitely not Spanish.

My best guess is that it's Norwegian. Somebody out there needs to
get their language radar adjusted.

Arri, I'm disappointed. You should know these things come from over
near the Mexican-Norwegian border. Very popular in Olaf's Cantina.
Usually served with a side of lutefisk frijoles.

Says right up there. It's the reindeer buljong that adds all the best
flavor.

Sauce is: boullion, wheat flour, some sort of fat (dictionary didn't
have the other word) and goat cheese.

LOL! I've just not been to that part of Mexico yet.

Ah, yes! The next great food fusion trend to bamboozle America with. Take that
Bobby Flay and your silly vacuous Southwestern cuisine!
