there is not rule about what you can bring in as long as it's cold it would be seen as racist of us so called "aussies" to complain about another's snack choices

heybaby said:

LOL.

I have to admit I LOVE oxtails. I don't even need the hot sauce! I was home in the US a few months ago, and one of my relatives from the south made neckbones, which I hadn't had in at least 20 years. I TORE THAT S*** UP. But you can't get me to touch okra, or chitlins either. That's where I draw the line

Racism in Australia?

fhqwhgads said:

yeah one has to be careful not to offend

ZombieKitten said:

What does an Australian look like? It always interests me when I go to Malaysia and see billboards, adverts etc. , say for the tourist board or airlines, just who they pick as the face or faces of the country.

I think it looks like something one might find floating in a head.

could look like anyone really, but I'd say the majority would say we look like those of British descent. Most people on commercial TV (chat show, reality show, news readers etc) are caucasian, but turn on SBS and they represent the whole spectrum of nationalities. I also sat and pondered those malaysian billboards when I was there last

So multicultural.

On many ocassions I've suffered the unique psychological trauma (and nausea) of sitting before a plate of that smelly, jiggly anti-food, as in my family there are many full-fledged Norwegians who enjoy lutefisk and who, as in your experience, like to prepare it around the holidays. The only real difference from your description of it is that I've always had it served with melted butter instead of a white sauce.

A "chitterling" sounds like something you'd kill for EXP in Dungeons & Dragons.

I love it. There's noodles in there too, boiled egg halves, some herbs and then you drizzle vinegar in there until it's just sour enough. There are also others bits and pieces in there I can't identify - intestines maybe? parts from around the heart? I can understand how it sounds foul, but it's the best thing after a heavy night of drinking.

Norweigans...

Have they tortured you with Römmegröt too?

CalhounSq said:

Yeah when I first herad about ox-tails I was like WTF !! But my sister had me try it and now I love it! Ox tails is slammin!

fhqwhgads said:

roodboi said:

WTF is that? It looks like it's going to sprout legs....

Rhondab said:

Fussy eater.

WillyWonka said:

Must you post such large pictures of nastiness!

sonic said:

Damn, I don't think I could live w/o spinach. I love it in EVERYTHING - eggs, veggie dishes, meat dishes, alone. That's a staple for me

retina said:

My Scandinavian temperment precludes me from displaying any emotional reaction to your emoticonical commentary on Norwegians.

Rommegrot I don't mind so much; my father loves the stuff so my grandmother used to make it for him a few times a year. Are you not a fan?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

It's stuffed sheep's stomach. mmm-MMMMM!

superspaceboy said:

I chose nice, large pictures for the sake of emphasis, sir.

That head cheese picture in particular really does it for a person, doesn't it?

WillyWonka said:

Well my Scandinavian temperament makes no such preclusions.

I actually love Norway. My family has a little cabin in the mountains there and I go there at least once a year, sometimes twice. In fact, I was there just a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the clean, crisp air and the gorgeous scenery. The only problem I have with some Norweigans of today is that the oil money and strong currency seem to have gone to their heads. Lots of Norweigan tourists spill over the border to Sweden and party like pigs. We've also had problems with our neighbours in Norway recently, since they've been chopping down trees on our land to improve their view, digging up our road for their own sewage system without asking first, etc, and then just expect to pay off whoever might complain.

They never behaved this way before the oil boom though, and most of them by far still have a more healthy attitude that's rooted in a friendly and hospitable culture. Besides, they fought the Germans while Sweden just let them march right through our country, so there's no shortage of courage either.



Not at all, it's bitter and gross. Sorry.

roodboi said:

that's not a great pic, but seriously, try it. It's fucking lovely. Scottish parents, so I ate a lot of that kind of thing growing up

But it looks like a giant testicle?

I know, I know, it's probably really tasty.
