with noodles or is that only in Salzburg?

Pommes or, if it's good, Spätzle. I've become rather picky about Spätzle
since I learned how to make my own 8-)

Pommes is French for apples how could a Francophile like you make such a silly
mistake :-)

Oh no, you are talking about *pom*, whereas she was talking about
*Pommesssss*! ;-)
A completely different story!

Then that is not a free market!

In what way isn't it a free market?

One area of Dutch free enterprise excellent is in french fries / chips.

and pumping flood water.

Oh my goodness. I wish I remember the name of the place in Amsterdam
where I got the most incredible chips of all time. It was around a
corner in an alley and there were all these different sauces you could
put on the chips. Dang that was good. I'm sure happy there was no
Royal Dutch Chips & Potato-Related Processed Food Products monopoly,
that day!

Any idiot can make good chips. I bet you loved FEBO, and krokets washed down
with a bottle of Heineken.

I don't know what the **** you're talking about,

American in Amsterdam favourite diet,.

but, maybe your
average Dutch idiot can make good chips? Every country has their
specialty.

Neither of us are Dutch, neither of us has problems making good chips.


In Germany, I like the schnitzel.

Are you still going to visit Stonehenge this year? I look forward to your report

You know I meant pomfrits and you also know i'm not a francophile 8-)

You get that a lot in Germany, but it's originally from Austria. The real
Asutrian "Wiener Schnitzel" has to be made from veal btw.

I love Wiener Schnitzel, but Schweineschnitzel Wiener Art is great, too!


I've seen "Pute Schnitzel" in German and Swiss supermarkets. I know the
German for turkey is der Puter/die Pute and, perhaps more formally, der
Truthahn/die Truthenne.



I'm sure I'd like that, too, if I ran across it over there on a menu.

Oh right! von kalb

It came from some kind of fruit dressing. It was a nice touch. What I
*really* like is when a friend egg is place on top of it.

I'd be interested to know your alternative form of government?

That's a different Schnitzel variant.

Not to be confused with puttana schnitzel .

Anything that can be flattened, including road kill, can be inside the coating
of a schnitzel.

Not road kill, please! 8-)

A democracy where people aren't elected on a first past the post basis using
arbitrary election areas, some sort of PR, in a country where the
population is
legally obliged to vote

Exactly! This is why the authors of the US Constitution did not make
the new nation a Democracy. They knew rule by the Demos meant mob
rule. That is why they made the USA a Republic. Not doubt this was
easier with a clean slate versus centuries of "common law", thus my
comment, there is no... originating set of specifications for
government responsibility or explicit limits on its power, as in the
USA. So with the UK, is at least the collection of restrictions on the
monarchy codified as something to point to? That would be a start.
