Guns are actually not that easy to get in the US. Especially in a city. Especially in the North

Truth.

I'm just wondering if we're going to need a really big kettle and cup for your tea. The dutch only have teeny tiny little cups, they're too small even for humans really

I have my own kettle and cup.

The dutch started a war with england over salt and pepper.

 

[InsanEleven]

Actually at one point we were at war with Germany, France and England. At the same time.


So we flooded the country and sunk the English navy... and then we won

We just wanted to buy our tea in peace xD


(actually there was way more too it, but yeah, we wanted tea.)


So, I heard you Europeans don't drink iced tea?

 

[InsanEleven]

*looks sideways to a bottle of iced tea*


No, not at all, got no clue what you're talking about.

 

[BookWyrm]

Wait what? No iced tea in Europe? Like, no sweet tea either? Okay, I'm not the biggest sweet tea drinker in the south, but still.

 

[InsanEleven]

It's only everywhere? Got more brands of ice tea than cola by now.

 

[BookWyrm]

I'm talking about true southern sweet tea. Not sweetened ice tea, that is different.

Ah, that's the best X3


None of my friends can stand southern iced tea, but I love it.

 

[InsanEleven]

No, that's an unfair question, that's like me asking you if you have stroopwafels and salty liquorice.


Well, actually, we do have that arizona brand iced tea? Or lipton or pickwick... got quite a few brands so I am sure you'll find something that is close to it.

 

[BookWyrm]

You would be surprised what we have in the states. Depending on the region you are in you can find some rather authentic european cuisine because of the people that settled in the area.


Arizona and lipton are good examples of Southern sweet tea.

Salty licorice is nasty. Stroopwafels are pretty good.

Chicago = POLISH. SO. MANY. POLISH. SO MANY. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.


Then there's my people, the Irish and Scottish X3

 

[InsanEleven]

Salty liquorice is nasty in the US cause you got no clue as to what liquorice is. It isn't red, and it isn't sweet, and it definitely shouldn't be sticky or sugared.

 

[BookWyrm]

Liquorice period is nasty, salty or otherwise.


Gotta say...since we are on the topic of European food, I'm a sucker for schnitzel

 

[InsanEleven]

Apfelstrudel is the light of my life and the reason I fit in a size b bra. (':3)

It's black. Or you can get it any flavor you like, actually. Just because we do it differently doesn't mean we're wrong.

I can't breath right now xD

 

[InsanEleven]

Escargots are really good too, or a well made raw tartar. The only thing I'd say you should never eat is the christmas chicken in Britain. Those people have no clue how to cook a chicken, I swear eating a piece of that leaves you with less water in you than you started with.

 

[InsanEleven]

I can't either, but that might be from cardiac arrest...


Anyhow, I do love pastries of all kind. Even the american ones.

Sounds like my Aunt's chocolate pound cake. One bite and instant dehydration

 

[InsanEleven]

Dutch food is pretty bland usually but at least it isn't dry. And my aunts make some wicked good cakes, cheesecake, schwartzwalder kirsch... Or just plain old apple pie.

 

[InsanEleven]

The only thing you should watch out for while eating in the Netherlands is to avoid the shady kebab places.

Yuck.


Worst is dry thanksgiving Turkey. Because then you look rude if you don't eat it and you don't want to insult Grandma.
