Whenever luscious foreign people come to the library, I feel a little bit embarrassed about my accent. There they are with their candyass fancy talk and I have to respond with swallowed vowels and raised inflection. Sometimes I can forget about it, but I am afraid I wont be able to for the next couple of weeks. I decided to play in my inner gutter, plug some depths, watch some morning tv. Good Morning truely is the devil, and I think they speak even worse than I do.
While I think of things that should make us all ashamed, I recall a German friend of mine who recoils in horror when she sees the inclusion of peas in a curry. While I was sorting stuff at the op shop the other day I found a book which included a pea curry. With sausages. OMG thanks Maggi, for photos of some of the most disgusting food I have had the misfortune of being exposed to. The pork chops baked with hard boiled eggs and limp vegetables haunt me to this day. And lest we forget, Alison Holst's sweetened condensed milk mayonnaise.
But however much I may cringe over our foods, I can't give up on lolly cake and cheese rolls. Not on the same plate though.
