Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:14 pm     Thanks Seanflynn! I'm glad it still has Land of Enchantment on it. Guess they felt it was necessary after the Olympics in Atlanta debacle amongst many others(phone operators wouldn't sell them tickets as US residents...US Olympic Committee actually issued formal apologies in all the NM newspapers that year for their faux paus) |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:31 pm     I can't believe Ali didn't know what a brat was. |
Weinermr | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:34 pm     Yeah KL, that seemed to be her wurst mistake yet. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:35 pm     Oh, I didn't know what a brat was until I moved to WI (from the SW). I couldn't believe the people in WI didn't know what a chorizo was, LOL. It's all regional I suppose. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 10:36 pm     LOL Weinermr! And Gouda grief, she didn't know what Brye (Brie) was either! |
Jazzzy | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:11 pm     Whats Chorizo ? Guess what state I live in...... Btw= during the food comp. none of them knew what lutefish is. Its fish cooked in lye, and it tastes as bad as it smells. It was in the gross food comp, and they still took it? How stupid is that? |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:17 pm     Jazzzy...I'm guessing you're from the same state as ketchuplover! I lived in West Bend for 2 1/2 very cold years. Chorizo is Mexico's equivalent to German Brautwurst, only much spicier. Dangit...up there they didn't know what masa was either....but then, I didn't know what lutefish was either until I moved up there. |
Hamsterlady | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Chorizo is wonderful!!! It can be spicey. OK, it is spicey, in varying degrees....LOL. But it is wonderful. But i'll never try lutefisk. Think of chorizo like spicey bratwurst. Except more delicious. Edited to say: I'll try lutefisk to win some money.....a substantial amount of money that is. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:25 pm     Yum yum, you betcha Hamsterlady...and I agree about the lutefish. Just smelling it was enough to turn your stomach (sorry to all you lutefish lovers out there, but I can't help it). I know there's some Norwegians (or is it Swedish?) out there that must like it still. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:26 pm     I meant yum yum to chorizo...on second reading...my prior post didn't type out quite the way I wanted it too, LOL |
Ric_Munoz | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:35 pm     Un-spicy chorizo is faux-chorizo. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:46 pm     LOL Ric...very true. Un-spicy chorizo is...bratwurst! LOLOLOL |
Hamsterlady | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:50 pm     Exactly Canga! Chorizo is really yummy but you have to like spicey food. :P |
Ric_Munoz | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:55 pm     Life without spicy food is simply not worth living. |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:58 pm     You got that right Ric! My mouth waters just thinking about spicy food. Fortunately, I have the best of many cuisines. I grew up in NM, am Korean (another spicy one!) and married a hubby that loves both of those cuisines plus Chinese Szechuan...spicy life is yummy life. |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:03 am     "..spicy life is yummy life." Exactly and indeed. |
Ric_Munoz | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:04 am     'Roo & 'Lady: I second those emotions!! |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:06 am     You are all making me hungry for my favorite spicy cuisine -- Tex Mex, from the land of my birth!  |
Cangaroo | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:08 am     I'm snackin' green chili on tortilla chips now...some odd reason I got in the mood. |
Cangaroo | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:08 am     Bonza...I just sliced up some chorizo too...havin' a midnight snackfest here... |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:10 am     Canga... yum! Or rather, "yummy life"! |
Ric_Munoz | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:11 am     I'm getting hungry, too, Bonz! If it gets worse, I'll dash over to Benito's (a 24-hour fast-food joint across the street from the CBS Television Center on Fairfax & Beverly) and get one of their tasty chorizo & egg burritos! |
Weinermr | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:13 am     Ric, Why don't you go to Pink's and get a Jalapeno Dog, or a Spicy Polish Dog? |
Ric_Munoz | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:16 am     Weiner--good idea except that those lines at Pink's drive me insane (or, rather, more insane than I already am). Plus, Benito's has better parking! But there's always tomorrow--that Jalapeño Dog sounds delightful! |
