Best country for food - Japan, without a shadow of a doubt. Best country for a good night out - England can't beat cheap pubs & crappy music! Best country for clothes in general - Hmmm, maybe the USA? Not very widely travelled so thats as far as my opinions go I remember going to Germany once & they tried giving me spaghetti for breakfast. I balked. Never forgave them for that haha. xxx
Best country for food: Italy Best country for sites: Italy Best amusement parks: u.s.a! u.s.a! Best looking women: Israel. Okay now this question may very well make me sound like an asshole (twat, wanker) but i have to ask it. I recently began watching this show called: "the secret millionaire" it's this show from Britain and well... a lot of the older women in that show have beards and 'staches. Now don't get me wrong i understand this is a show centering on the poor and the sick but still i have never seen that many women with facial hair in my life and i'm not exactly privileged. Is female facial hair common in England?
LMAO that was well funny. I've never really noticed, but I bet they also wear their slippers to go shopping in aswell. And wear showercaps outside when its raining. xxx
in my opinion Best country for food - France Best country for entertainment - ummm. Italy for general going out? UK..for music Best country for fashion - France Best one for cars - Germany So the electric car ws invented by a Scot?
*shudder* thanks but I'll pass. here's a pretty good answer I found here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080526183712AApBSed In olden times while carrying a sword, you would (right handed people) prefer a stranger to walk by you on your right side, so that you could pull your sword out in a hurry. Thus, you walk on the left side of a road (right hand drive). This carried on when when riding a horse. Then came the French revolution, which sought to overthrow everything the nobles had set before (even irrelevant things like this) and to twart tradition, moved to the right side of the road. Subsequently, with Napoleon, the French brought these ideas to the rest of continental Europe (along with the French Civil Code). The US uses a left hand drive as the French brought it over with them during the war of independence against the Brits. Thus, it is safe to say that the following drive using a right hand drive car: 1) UK 2) Many former UK colonies (other than the US & Canada who sought French help) 3) India 4) Curiously, Japan as well. The rest of the world follows the left hand drive as the US adopted it as a standard and from the 20th century onwards became a financial superpower. I sort of took all previous questions. Best country for food - hmm, India..but I'm biased Best country for a good night out - Italy, definately ooh lala Best country for clothes in general - France for fashion, but you get superb clothes real cheap in India so I think I'll pass France right now. Best country for sites: Greece Best amusement parks: USA(they have Disney World don't they?) Best looking women: Israel(I agree with Apathy) and Iran-Muslim women are beautiful. Best country for entertainment - I dunno, I guess fo natives every country is perfectly entertaining. Best one for cars - Germany(I agree with Sophie) I have two questions for the Aussies Have you ever taken a ride on the Claw? And if yes, is it really as scary as it looks? And did you puke? Also, why do hot air balloons only work at a particular time in Sydney?
Sorry folks were rude. I am from Mississippi which is in the Southeast USA and when I go to California they look at me with pitty too and treat me like an idiot. A lot of people in other parts of our country believe Mississippi is backwards and "old-timey" but they just haven't been here. We are called "The Hospitality State" because we are so good to people. And we are the poorest state of the entire USA but donate more to charity per capita than any other state.
Some of the things they invented sure were swell back in my high school and college days but I don't think I can talk about those here. I am all grown up now and have left all that behind, well some of it.
What is a favorite food from your country that you enjoy? I love chili! Do you have chili in your country? I also love sloppy joe, mashed potatos, and meat loaf. (Not all together of course! )
hmm.....my fav food is Rajma Masala(made from grams) and all kind of paneer(cottage cheese) mainly........but I amore all Indian food. and chilli....well, I eat raw green chilli, and red chilli pickle but I don't think you quite mean that? how is it made exactly? Maybe I dunno which dish that is in hindi.
It's a type of soup, comprising of a meat (usually beef but sometimes sausage or turkey) and beans. Aside from those two base ingredients, you can basically throw whatever you want in there. Here's a picture of it:
Bite your tongue! Real chili is not made with beans! The beans are served on the side. Originally, chili was a creation of a prison in Texas or New Mexico - I don't recall which - to disquise the flavor of meatr that was less than fresh. It is diced or ground meat, usually beef, flavored with ground dried chili peppers, chopped chili peppers, cumin powder, usually onions and garlic, and sometimes other seasonings. Newer recipes often add tomatoes, but the true "bowl of red" is colored only by the chili powder. Mixing the beans into the chili makes it milder. Rumor has it that armadillo meat was often an ingredient in the original chili due to the shortage of better quality meat. I make a mean beef chili with about a quarter cup of Caribe pepper flakes and two poinds of diced beef, plus onions, cumin, salt, garlic and beef broth. I also have several mider resipes if I'm serving to people whe prefer less fire in their mouths.
The fire part I could have taken....but beef? Nope. That would be an?insult to my religion. So I can safely say that there is no Indian dish like that, and I've never had it.
Well some families in Israel have versions of chilly. The only American chilly i've ever eaten was at a friend's house, it was really nice. I've also eaten Indian curry, it's different but I can see a distinct similarity. Israel consists of many nationalities, my mom came from Romania and she makes a mean golash, which also reminds me of American chilly. Unlike chilly it has to have beef in it and being hot isn't so important. It also has a special kind of dough added (we call them: bachkaniot, the Romanian word is spechel). Most of the food i eat is non kosher since it has some form of meat and cheese in it and I've eaten pork and sea-food. Most Israelis don't really eat kosher food now that i think about it. How about you neha? Are there any Indians that eat beef or do most of them abide by the religion? Is it only beef your not allowed to eat?
Fave 'English' food - ha probably fish n chips, how unoriginal, or roast dinner Is anyone from California here? I heard that you can drive when you are 16 there, but you can't drink til you are 25. Seemed a leeetle bit weird to me..unless it isn't true of course
I can't speak for the exact California laws, but nationally, you can drive at sixteen and can drink at twenty-one. The weirdest part is that you can join the military at seventeen. So from seventeen to twenty you're old enough to legally handle assualt rifles, sniper rifles, tanks, jets, grenades, etc... etc but you can't legally drink a beer.
Yeah, the drinking limitation, vs the military enrollment is outrageous. Neha -You don't have to have beef to make chili, some varieties have chicken. Ground turkey is also popular, because it has less fat than beef, but has almost the same flavor as ground beef. You basically use ground or finely cut up meat, fry it. (I usually drain all the grease off, and run hot water over it, before I add the meat to the pot.) Put it into a large pot then add you beans, seasoning, onion, some tomato, and whatever else sounds good at the time. Then you simmer it for a couple hours, stirring it every now and again. Then you eat it in a bowl. Some people (when serving or eating) like to add cheese, onion, and sometimes Dorito or corn chips. You could even add cottage cheese if you want, some people add sour cream. Others like to eat it with crackers or cornbread. I like cornbread. I have a special chili recipe that I made up and don't share. My chili is awesome, but not hot. I can't handle hot. I know, I know, I'm a wimp. LOL If you would like a recipe for chili look on the net, or ask an American, most all of us can make one version or another! Cogito, thanks for that bit of history. I didn't know that much about chili! I just know it is super yummy! There is also a chili, called white chili. I don't know exactly what is in it, but I do know it has navy beans, instead of kidney or chilir beans. Does anyone know how to make it?
White chili is made with a white meat, like chicken or pork, and uses hot and mild green chilies instead of the dark red dried chilies. White chili does usually contain (white) beans. It's also called green chili, or chile verde, except that chili verde is less likely to include the beans. I still prefer a bowl of red, but green chili can be good too. There is seafood chili, and even vegetarian chili. I cannot bring myself to eat vegetarian chili though - I've tried it, but it just isn't chili as far as I'm concerned.
Chili is one of the greatest foods ever thought up in my opinion. There are so many different varieties, and possiblities. You could make it everyday, and it could be an entirely different meal! I imagine for a meat eater to eat veg chili, is like a meat eater eating veg lasagna. it just never steps up to 'meat' the taste expectations!
Personally, this carnivore likes eggplant lasagna. There are many vegetarian dishes I enjoy, even though I like a meaty diet overall. But vegetarian chili just doesn't really work for me.
Right so can be killed for your country before you can have a glass of wine. Peverse or what?! ^^mmmm..lasagne I lovee pasta, I could live off it. When I am a student I wil end up eating it everrry day.
But it is not useful to politicians that you drink a glass of wine. However, it is useful to ship you off to some cesspool to get shot or blown up. Ergo, the latter is legal, the former is not. Lord Farquad put it best: Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am prepared to make.
I never really understood that. I have two mates who live abroad - one's a Welsh-Italian whose lived in Canada for the last seven-ish years and the other is an eighteen-year-old New Zealander - and they often take great delight in telling me that they've been able to drive since sixteen and fifteen respectively whilst I've had to wait until 17/18 to even apply for a provisional license. How come thier societies are allowed to 'get away' with that and mine isn't?
Definitely, and I'm pretty sure the type of license you can get at 16 wouldn't let you drive on the DVP anyway, so teens under eighteen aren't getting on the busy roads and highways.
