Unless you're a member of the African Union, then he's pretty important.

Yes, because he supported terrorists. More specifically, terrorists that we didn't like. Quite openly in fact. He no longer supports terrorists though, so I fail to see the relevance.

Make careful note of the fact that I am not.

You should be! They throw the best parties.

The buffet is often sadly lacking.

Hey man, Ethiopian food is awesome.



Too bad there isn't very much.

Um, that doesn't look all that appetising, broseph.

You would have to eat it first, I think. Looks good to me.

Being English, you should have plenty of experience putting unsightly lumps of mush in your mouth.

Agreed, it appears to have already been eaten.

I thought it looked rather nice.

Meat balls in cream sauce.

Rubbish, there must be dozens. If you don't believe me take a walk down to your local constabulary dressed as a policeman and see how far that gets you (Unless of course you are a police officer IRL). There are similar laws pertaining to military uniforms.

Yeah, we don't have advanced cuisine like the corndogs and 'grits' you chaps have over there.

Touche.

On the other hand... Sheperd's Pie. :(


Let's just call it a draw.

We can both sleep happily knowing that we aren't Australian; born to hideous legacy that is Vegemite.

As I've said before, Vegemite is proof there is a God, and that He hates Australians.

Why would someone place an assortment of autumn leaves on top of a bowl of sand then call that food? I mean, the garnishing is nice I guess. I suppose a chef works with what he has available so I can't fault them.

I tried some once, or it could have been marmite or such (was a Brit giving it too me). I just remember SALT and BRINEY. Reminded me of fishing on a pier in the Gulf, get that taste.

If it came from Britain it was Marmite.

You will be pleased to hear that a new 'extra matured for fuller flavour' version comes out this week.

The devil convincing the world he wasn't real was actually his second greatest trick. His greatest trick was to get Australians to eat Vegemite.

Now, Black Pudding - THAT really is 'The Beatles' of unappetising foodstuffs. It's made of pig's blood, ferchristsakes!

Still surprisingly tasty, mind.

I suppose if Black Pudding is The Beatles, then Haggis is The Rolling Stones - minced offal and spices in a sheep's stomach? Some Scottish bloke must have been smoking space-crack to come up with THAT.

Again, quite tasty though.

Vegemite/Marmite is the second most awesome food in the world, after a good Rib-eye
