We still don't know the answer, Erik.

Republic - Ankara

Ow, is this a game (no it isn't! )?
But: What's the capital of Belgium?

It is a game, but not the kind of game that you think it is. No, this is a long game, played over several years. The rules are simple: If Erik forgets, everybody loses. If Erik tells us the answer, we win. If the game ends for any reason before either of these things happen, Erik wins. It's a subtle game, a game of diplomacy, persuasion, cajoling and begging, intimidation and psychology, and plenty of spam and random banter; as far as I know, the answer is still there, somewhere deep within Erik's brain, and he's still not giving it up.

One day, though, one day...

Yes.. I still recall what I put on my geography test my freshmen year of High school for the Capital of Turkey... yerp.. I remember that I said the Capital of Turkey is.... hmmm... I could go for a Turkey sandwich... or maybe Chicken.. I like Chicken... *Get's distracted by food and wonders off*

I've never eaten a chicken sandwich, you know. Maybe those things that people tell me about the blandness of Finnish cuisine aren't lies...

British cuisine is rather nice... heavy on the gravy...

Gravy? Pah! True Brits drown their dinner in Mint Sauce.

I'm not sure I had anything in mint sauce while I was there....

Pah, mint sauce is for old ladies dressed in tweed. Roast Lamb with onion sauce is where it is at.

I cannot speak ill of onions - but I protest that remark against the indefatigable Mint Sauce!

I can speak ill of onions... very easily... they make me ill... there.. I spoke ill of them....

Does anyone know how to delete a post? I are the confuse.

I can do it... but there shuld be a lil X icon in the lower right corner of the post...

MMMMMMmmmm, onions...............

I went to what was advertised as a Genuine English Pub (in the US) and ordered the shephards pie.

'Twas godawful. Praise the original BOO/\/\ ist for the beer.

Any suggestions if I go back?

Steak and Ale pie? Steak and Kidney pie? fagots? Hagus? peas Pudding? Anything with internal organs..

I don't know if there is such a thing as English cuisine.
Earl Grey and Rich Tea Biscuits at 4 in the afternoon is about where English customs should stop.

I still liked the food when I was over there...

OK. Bakewell Tarts are legendary. There. I said it.
That's probably one of the best British culinary inventions- High Tea in the Afternoon

I liked things made from Internal organs...

Internal organs are nice but blood is best - Black pudding for the win!

Max, I can't believe "Lincolnshire sausages", "Lancashire Hotpot" and "Yorkshire Pudding" didn't leap to your mind when someone mentioned British cuisine! We have loads of great stuff! Spotted Dick is another good example.

"Lincolnshire sausages", "Lancashire Hotpot" and "Yorkshire Pudding"

Northern, O Baron, Northern
Besides, I've never even tried the first two

You call yourself an Englishman? :P The Northerners may be gruff and either be miners or farmers but they do make exceedingly good food.

*hides from Jeremy*
*hides from Jeremy again by implying he was a Northerner, I think he still likes to be called a Midlander or something*

Meh. I grew up in Manchester and never tasted any.

You call yourself an Englishman?

Well... only half, I suppose

Hah - fair enough.

But make sure you taste 'em before you leave the country, if you get the chance. Worth having a look for...

And if any of you f00s are in London make sure you find a good Pie and Mash shop! And buy an eel and think of me!

^ Jellied eels. By his H47, the man likes jellied eels.

What you want is a nice good helping of spätzle with sauerkraut and bockwurst or bratwurst. Generally- central European cusine!
