Almost? I shall have to work
Almost? I shall have to work harder then :) and anyway - I don't approve of clipping bird's wings... no... I don't... and no one can make me! No... they can't :)
I LOVE PURPLE CARROTS!! and corn - but not here. David and not now...
me too Uli!! but I eat them in english these days :) I have eaten them when they were koolraap, schorseneren, pere en bone but unfortunately can't remember what they were called when I ate them in Bemba :(
*make note to stock up on parsnips* thanks, Mike!
In the olden days, as you probably recall, Chris... that's how they cooked, and yes, it might well have been onions, Mikey
Now... at the risk of coming across as completely out of my mind... I am going to say something that I never thought I would say to einsteinians... and that is... you're overthinking this.
I would also like to remind you that

things are different now... and if that doesn't help, I will be back in a bit with a clue...
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

There's a new show on the Cooking Channel about food myths. Among other things, the first episode told us that French fries should really be called Belgian fries, which in fact they are in Belgium.
I doubt this advances the mystery, however.

Continental skinny things that you pay three times what they are worth in McDonalds. What we want is proper British chips!
Yep, and most probably will do :-))!
+1 on principle. It's only for tradition anyway. During WWII they all flew away, but we had the strongest monarchy ever.
We used to toast crumpets and marshmallows over an open coal fire in the 1950's before this new fangled American craze for central heating came in, and gave everyone headaches, dry eyes and sore throats.

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
Oh my... that does look yum,
Oh my... that does look yum, Gary :)
@David I believe you can take credit for what we call crisps though (and what I used to, and large parts of Africa, and America, and I think Australia too, call chips). One of your chefs lost it when someone returned their fries to his kitchen - for being cut "too thick" - so he went to the other extreme and was somewhat peeved to find the patron really enjoyed them.

Or died trying to catch a bus :( My son did a week's work experience there a few years ago now, and he was told something very different. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say what, so I won't, because I wouldn't want to get him into trouble - but if it is true then :/ and :(
Yes :) They could claim a foot in both camps, so of course they were strong :) but all the more reason why they should stop laming them now. Ravens... not erm... royals :) I'm not sure which is worse, clipping both wings (which apparently they don't do anymore) or just one so that they can sort of take off, fly lopsided and then crash/beach themselves short of their target. At this rate they'll get so frustrated, they'll either evolve into something resembling an ostrich or emu, or go the whole hog and become winged flightless kangaroos with a beak.
As for toasting marshmallows - scuse me... *ten minutes later* they catch fire quite well over a gas flame too - and are still exceedingly good :)
No. None of it did. At all.
Perhaps this will though...
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Hmmmm ... the perennial
Hmmmm ... the perennial question : is garlic a nightshade ??? :-)
.... in New Zealand these are called 'chups' as in "have some fash and chups", just before you throw "sax thock logs on the farr". :-)
As for marshmallows I have always considered 'toasting' to be equivalent to 'briefly setting them on fire'. :-)
Cheers, Mike.

RE: We used to toast
What ever happened to a hot coal fired poker and a pint of Guinness? Not done anymore?
Well, I don't think anyone
Well, I don't think anyone will beat me to identification.
And I'm wondering if we are talking about the black death? Although a source says it should be missing fruit, not vegetable. Although it may have been both.
@ Annie - There is plenty of
@ Annie - There is plenty of info on the web about the Tower ravens. They only clip one wing now so that they can fly around within the tower, but not outside. They were taken inside in cages once as there was bird flu around. And at the end of the war they had just one breeding pair left.
In principle I am against clipping, but I am now convinced that it does the birds no real harm, and the RSPCA apparently condones it in this instance. And by 'eck they survive a lot better there than in the wild. Look at their menus? they are better fed than patients in hospital!!! They could escape if they wanted, and have done in the past, but they know when they are well off!
The Royal family are of German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha descent, but during WWI this was seen as a tad embarrassing. So in 1917, King George V changed the name of the royal house to the House of Windsor. In times leading up to WWII, Edward the VIII was seen as a bit too friendly with you know who, so was shipped off to the Bahamas out of the way. Then we have Phil the Greek of course. Most European royal families have mingled :-)
@Robl - What ever happened to a hot coal fired poker and a pint of Guinness? Not done anymore?
You are talking mulled ale here. The poker caramelises the malt components of the beer. Not generally done any more unless at Olde Worlde Dickensian themed Christmas Fayres.
By Spring 1349 the Black Death, a pneumonic plague, had killed six out of every ten Londoners. That is separate from the The Great Plague, lasting of 1665 an epidemic of the bubonic plague. That is where the nursery rhyme ring a ring a roses comes from. Posies of herbs were carried as protection.

My first reaction to "We want them NOW!" was figs, but they are (not sure how this relates to what Gary said) fruits, not vegetables, and grow on trees, not underground. So then I remembered that Mikey mentioned
My community college history teacher said "Chicago" was an Algonquin word meaning "place of the stinking onions."
But all those plants you've been waving at us look more like potatoes than onions.
