You and Col are a curious pair. Col has American insults running out of his ears yet claims name calling is rude and you for some reason pick food from a plethora of subjects to ban - ?!?

I don't have American insults running out my ears, I merely point out the idiocyncrasies of the USA, and pick up on news items that would not be shown in your censored media. If America (or Americans) didn't think it was gods gift to the world and acted normally instead of being hypocritical and stroppy then it would be treated normally.

Get this straight - America does not rule the planet, the sooner it learns that the better.

Name calling is a personal affront to another member - that's why I don't like it or do it. It's rude and offensive. It resorts to amateur schoolboy intelligence, but some on these forums think it's acceptable. Naturally, those that do it are from the USA, so I suppose it will continue.

I wouldn't ban food, not only do I like it but we would all starve.

Ken I am puzzled by this response, you defend America and Americans against criticism, as I have in the past when I think people are wrong, all I am doing is putting you right about our food, is that not allowed? I do feel that criticising certain aspects of a country does need first hand experience and food is an obvious one, but if you want to criticise a countries food without having been there then go ahead, risk making a fool of yourself I just expected better.

Perhaps he has a different word for you, now what could that be?

It'll probably be some American term we've never heard of and therefore can't take umbrage at

You are a bit touchy on the food thing - Lighten up, after all I was using the infallible bbc as a reference -

Ah! now I understand, if somebody criticises the UK and we try to put them right we are touchy, but if we criticise the USofA then we are ignorant and the Yanks have every right, nay a duty, to whinge.

Hey - don't blame me. I've tried to get your buddies to lighten up

Buddies is an American expression, please use English terms when addressing us

And what would I use - his 'chums' ?

I'm glad someone still has a sense of humour over there - Although that 'get this straight' thing Col used was funny as well

q 1) I think this says more about your knowledge of food than anything I could try to explain.

I'm intrigued by this, first I suspect you misinterpreted what Ken was saying for q1.

But secondly if the question for q1 is "Whats the differance about Kiwi lamb?" - what is the answer, apart from anyone who needs to ask must be an idiot? (thats usually a clue that the answer isn't known!, unless of course Ken has proved himself in the past to be an idiot and anexplanation would genuinely go above his head?)

I'd say about 5 pound a pound?

? Not following you here Paul -

 

[Pauldohert]

Well - I assumed you meant what is the differance between food and everything else, as in a topic you were allowed to have an opinion on? I may be wrong , but thats what I understood.

If thats what you meant, I don't understand Brians reply - Ie the answer to q1 as he puts it. Do you?

It does seem to make sense - if you take you post to mean - "Whats the diff about differnat types of food".

It may take Brian to clear it up what he meant with his answer to q1?

 

[KenHigg]

Oh. Yeah that's what I meant.

I'm guessing he simply took excessive offense to me making a slight poke of fun at your (brits) food?

Note to self: If Brian is participating in the discussion avoid kidding about uk food if I want to keep him as a buddy.

It wasn't our food but that of one of our finest colonial cousins
If you want to take the pi## use the Aussies, they can't be insulted

How the heck do you figure I did that?

I'm quite sure thay CAN be insulted, just maybe not by you -

The inclusion of the word KIWI in the original post

I said nothing derogatory about KIWI Lamb - Did I? Where? I simply said that it was more likey that the average person would probably eat a product made from meat slurry, like burgers and sausages, than they would KIWI Lamb.
