shrader Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, if you want to split hairs, Scotland and Ireland are a part of the British Isles, yet their native tongues are not English. There's Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic. However, given the very long and very turbulent history between the English, the Scots, and the Irish, both Scotland and Ireland are bilingual. I hazard to guess that there are some people in both Scotland and Ireland who resent the presence of the English. (What makes it even worse is that Scotland and England are connected to the same landmass like Finland and Sweden are - so there's no real way that they can get away from each other. If you think the War Between the States was bad, North and South have nothing on the centuries-long acrimony between Finland & Sweden or Scotland & England.) I love when someone changes their username and then when you click on their profile to see who they are, you see that just about everyone else has done the same thing.

wjag Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 On a related note. Rumors are that Norway continues to reject membership in the European Union for the sole reason that the exclusion of Norway on the Euro coins makes Sweden and Finland look like a ###### and balls. That's some outstanding work... Now to the neglected topic of the title, the price of chicken breasts in Paris is $12.28 kg per Numbeo.com... That seemed like a lot but.... For comparison purposes, breasts cost $8.20 kg in Buffalo (kg, that Canadian measurement thingy), $12.51kg in Helsinki (aka the nuts of 'Navia), $11.94 kg in Stockholm (named after a famous syndrome), $18.05 kg in Oslo (they must figure chicken causes cancer to price it that high), $15.13 kg in Reykjavik (where all their breasts come naturally frozen) and $17.58 kg in Quebec City (Parisian wannabees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Do the Brits eat American bacon or Canadian bacon? Neither, don't they eat "bangers" instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 A rasher is part Canadian bacon (the loin), but unlike Canadain the Brits leave the fat on. It's pretty good. Bangers are sausage, surely you can't be saying that you can't have sausage and bacon on the same plate, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
