In USA pizza and apple pies are sold in inches. ( 8,10,12, 16,18, 21 ) I did a quick lookup on wikipedia..... Holy f*** it is complicated. Just looking at yard and foot in inches requires you to calculate when converting between units. Inch, feet, yard, mile need calculation when converting between …

That steak is served a bit like what I tried in Hungary, back in the early 1990's. It was a pork chop, fried and served with an egg on top. Some gravy and a kind of wheat knöden on the side. Tasted good. For me, I had this pigs liver pate kind of thing. Something that are national to Denmark. Served …

Mah. It's far too over commercialized. There must be something that you like 😁 Weird period for most of us this year, let's make the best we can out of it We have time, to make better food than we are used to. We have time to tell our children stories. We can devote more time to the ones we love. …

I don't really think the "holiday joy" exists considering I got blatantly harassed on twitch for something as innocuous as not noticing a raid (or more specifically not knowing what to say at the moment because my mind was focused on the game more) leading to me banning everyone involved and saving …

The date system I really dont care for. If I write in Danish I use the Danish way, DD-MM-YY and when I write in English, then I usually write something like 1-Jan-2021. It all depends. If it is a personal message and the reader is American, then I write 12-24-2020 or whatever date in question. …

Same here my friend. The past tastes better than the future. It's not so much fusion food as just individual dishes from each culture It is done, only need to rest now. However this is what it looks like, when getting out of the oven. I have not resized the image, so it is large... And no. Not …

I am making "Ripper-pork" today. It is my own recepie, and I am only using herbs and spices, that was to be found in London in the 1890's. Hence the name Jack-The-Ripper-Pork. I develloped the recepie my self, and I named it. The picture is from when it went into the oven. The black liquid is a pint …

Intel486dx33 does have a point in that Californians don't seem to have a distinct regional accent. It's just generic 'American'. The east coast has several distinctive accents, as does the south and west. I can also usually tell Canadians from Americans by their accents. But there doesn't seem to …
