so my ?: is it just Americans who are rude?

Come on in, the water's fine!

It turned out the OP was American anyway, so we all had a good laugh about it - from about post number 5 onwards actually; the party's been here all along. The smut thread was just the overspill/chill-out room.

Turns out American and English cobbler are the same thing. Then Chas revealed that his mum invented a random dish and he's trying to pass it off as an actual recipe

Seriously though, I think we have established a general consensus that what Chas describes was a lamb stew/casserole with what sound like badly made dumplings. Not that I'm trying to dis yo momma or anything.

If they were sconey, then they have been baked instead of steamed, which makes them too dry to do their dumplingy duties of soaking up lovely casseroley juices.

Look I don't care who eats or doesn't eat lamb.

the discussion was what the scone like things are called in a lamb dish. Implying they were called something different because it was an American dish

I was simply pointing out that the everyday "American type" cuisine doesn't include lamb.

The fact that it was an Australian website re-enforces my point that at most it was an international recipe.

Now i get that most "American" food is from other places.

But the discussion was over why Americans call something cobbler that supposedly isnt cobbler.

I don't care where the website is other than it wouldn't make it a "Domestic American dish" if its on a Australian website is all.

OMG I had to google that and you dont want to know what I came up with.

no mentioning of pie, shame on you all

to the OP, u think americans are rude...boy, are you wrong...

We passed the pie around several hundreds of post back

No, not quite.
Chas thought that the lamb thing was a cobbler. Chas is British. Chas misunderstood the nature of cobbler.

To cut a long story short;
Chas, a British man who has lived in many countries, was once served a dish of lamb topped with doughy things by his mother. He thought this dish was a lamb cobbler.
We have now established that it in all likelihood was a lamb casserole with dumplings.
No one thinks American cobbler has lamb in it. No one has ever thought that American cobbler had lamb in it.

This whole sordid affair is the result of Chas, and the blame for the whole sorry mess needs to be laid squarely at his door.



Soooooo......how 'bout ................that local sports team?

Thank god this '/me' talk crap cant be done in SL, i'd have orbited my way to a perm ban by now.

Gadzooks man, I was a child. I didn't get to pick my butcher!

I do now though,and he's a very nice fellow who does indeed supply a rather nice mutton, and a very tasty breast of lamb (I agree on that one). He even does me double thick chops, which I greatly appreciate if I'm roasting them.

Huh? That's why we do it here... try it inworld. At the chat line, type "/me laughs his head off"
and you will see:

Thunder Starbrook laughs his head off

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm branching out this year. Having a pig carcass delivered next week! Then I am going to make sausages and salamis.

We could throw a few biscuts on top of it too, but only if they came out of a can.

/me balks

Doesn't anyone eat vegetables anymore?

Oh, and further to this - because I think I see where the confusion lies Collette - Oryx was posting that link in support of the assertion that Chas' dish was a lamb casserole. We were simply attempting to identify Chas' mystery dish of British origin.

Can we gat back to the smut, whingeing, griping, cynicism and mysogynism for which the Cartel is famed now? Let's face it, that's what we're all here for!

/me wishes Thunder happy orbiting

It can be done and is done in SL, which is why we do it here. You should try it sometime

"Vegetables" was Ozzy Osbourne's most underrated album.

I accept full responsibility.

But I'm definitely going to have very strong words with my ol' mam, who told me what I was eating was a cobbler, probably because she cobbled it together out of Sunday's lefovers, more than likely including the leftover scones.

Except I made it all up just so we could have fun

Yes. I eat a lot of vegetables actually. Probably about 8-10 portions a day (the "Five a day" is the minumum, not the recommended amount by the way. It's actually 7 for a woman and 9 for a man ideally).

Or that's what she was talking

A consigment of geriatric shoemakers.

Yes, Sally, I roast the vegetables with the chops.

I do a nice nut roast for my vegetarian friends. And before you ask, Conan, I don't include peanuts, because they're not nuts, they're peas, goober peas according to Georgians. Apparently.

"Death by Vegetables", sounds like a new rp sim in the making. Or "Vegimatic".
/me screams as a carrot chases her across the sim. No, no, let me die a peaceful death with all of that cholestrol clogging up my arteries and I go into cardia arrest.

Oooooh I love roast vegetables, can I have mine without the chops but with goats cheese on top please?

When I was a child, we had a well known brand of icecream treat called a "Nobbly Bobbly"


Just thought I'd put that out there.

You left out the last bit, probably deliberately. You are a cad and a bounder, sir, and I may have to call you out.

You get to choose weapons.
