a question of global significance (Page 1 of 2)

Break them in half put the choc sides together and then dunk in your coffee.     

1. No idea. Though we do have a cookie called Keebler Fudge Stripes. Those require a dunk in cold milk to make the chocolate harden, then I eat it chocolate coated side down.
2. I pick one up, shell it, salt it, sprinkle on some hot sauce, and bite into it. No silverware is involved. Nor plates. If this offends you, I recommend that you NEVER go into an Appalachian bar on account of the pickled eggs and their consumption. What they do with pig's feet may cause a more severe negative reaction.
3. After. But so long as you buckle up before driving off, that's what matters.     

Jim, it's got to be chocolate side up just in case the chocolate breaks off and hits the floor.     

chocolate side up
dont like boiled eggs so no opinion
and after i start up, and some times i like to be a dare devil and thumb my nose at the nanny state go with it out on short trips 

i have questions to
why is there brail on a drive thru  atm key pad?
why does cargo go by ship and a shipment go by truck?
and why is there an expiration date on  SOUR cream     

I love that a biscuit called chocolate digestive. It  has got  to be something a doctor would prescribe to help one maintain good health and regular bowl movements. Here in New Zealand they sell biscuits called Chocolate  Thins I often wonder what the opposite of a Chocolate Thin would be called. That thought could  keep me awake all night what is more desirable a Chocolate Thin or a Chocolate Fat. Maybe the person at the politically correct  café  selling them might ask of the customer," would you like your chocolate obese or anorexic"?.

I often cut the pointy end off chocolate eggs! Then suck out the creme inside. Well done Brian you made me laugh out loud on a cold, wet,depressing windy day.     

I don't favor the pickled pigs feet myself, but I much prefer the term "trotters" for them.

I have no idea what a cockle is. Is it a rooster with a hard shell?

Not sure what cawl is, but I suspect it's something different than here, as here it refers to a placenta. I would hope you're not eating those in pubs.

I do like curry, but I prefer it made with goat or seafood rather than Welsh. They put up too much of a fight and then they sing you a song about it.     

Cockles are a small shellfish which are in great abundance here as is lavabread or seaweed, my father loved cockles with lavabread and bacon for breakfast! I prefer my bacon in a full English, yum yum.

Cawl is a kind of soup traditionally made with lamb, potatoes and various veg all boiled together in a big crochan or pot in English.

Welsh curry is not made from Welshmen but if it was it would taste great and sing sweetly to the sound of a Welsh harp! One side of my extended family are from India and they love their goat curry. I prefer chicken madras myself

I have read that if manufacturers succeed in driving down current sky-high production costs, you may soon see lab-grown meat not just in fancy restaurants, but on grocery store shelves, too. Some scientists expect  that lab meat will be in the supermarket within two to five years, and could be as inexpensive  or cheaper than conventional meat in a decade. Does this mean all our  farm animals will end up becoming extinct due to a lack of money to keep them healthy and happy on a farm.? Maybe it could be a good thing if they could grow lab fish so that over fished fish stocks in the ocean could rebuild their numbers. Not sure where this is taking us the high tech world. If you have robots and labs growing and distributing all this stuff what happens to the human worker? I don’t use the self check outs in the supermarkets as I like the idea of a human in paid work doing it for me. Many of my neighbours around here don’t even go to the supermarket they shop online. Me I like to be surrounded by what I am buying but I must admit I enjoy getting out of the supermarket and getting our food home. My Maree can spend all day looking around shops where as I like to get in and out of a shop without too much hanging around.   Though I mentioned meat as being inexpensive above, here in New Zealand it is actually expensive. We pay more for our meat locally than the people overseas pay for the same product. Why that is I am not sure something to do with we need to export more than we import and overseas money has a better value in the exchange rate. Phill your mention of cockles  reminded me of my dad and his parents when I was a kid singing at parties.
In Dublin's fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"

Hi Brian. The weak minded will always follow the latest trends...remember hipster trousers? I still have bad feet after winkle picker shoes! We had a big thing a couple of years back concerning GM foods, that has gone quiet so we're probably eating it without our knowledge! Still, this third arm comes in very handy at times...lol

(I had to chuck the joke in as this thread is getting very serious)

In some area of the US, the facility the Brits refer to as a "loo", we call a "john",  and the best known brand of tractor is John Deere.

Thanks Phill
