I know - the history of the Shakuhachi is fascinating, in the old days the players were sometimes used as spies. And someone did spot it was Mike - it was a very individual basket...

Thanks for the laughter guys. [ yes I think all these names you use as FoR3 boarders refer to you as being male ].

So Goa in the Indian Ocean and cilantro .. .. thank goodness lutefisk is not allowed.

Sigolene - "Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction". (Interview with Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything (translated quote from a 1999 article in Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet).

I rather like it. With Global's agreement, we'll keep it in.

UHHHH, I deem lutefisk ... ... disgusting ! wobbly grey jelly, the house STUNK, and there was never enough gravy to submerge said fish in, nor any takers under the table with wet noses. Every Christmas Eve with the Swedish Grandpapa.. .. ..

>>under the table with wet noses

Probably had other fish to fry

Do you know it sounds a bit like bacalhau, a Portugese equivalent which is also truly vile. Except I think this is just salted not treated with lye

[sigolene euphemia]

Paul,


That is goofy playful fun - that costume ! And I thought I was a bit out there having my dog Tulip wear a string of pearls .. .. she windsurfed too !

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

er what about me gazpacho and smoked haddock Florentine is i banned or what .....?

[not in the least bothered by the absence of Norwegian or Japanese Fish delicacies]


[oh yeah and i confess to finding the Salad Nicoise at the Grand Cafe on Geary St just out of this world, like much else in that beautiful city]

[Paul Sherratt]

Interestingly ( he says ) you can't move on Spanish telly for bacalao being prepared ( honestly ! )

Calum,

"Walking into the Grand Cafe raises the spirits. Inside a person feels like a first-class citizen in a world-class city."

That's the ticket !

( Cafe Tortoni was a bit like that ... )

[sigolene euphemia]

bacalhau, lye

The word floats more tantalizing upon the tongue then said lutefisk.

[sigolene euphemia]

Any one for tea, now ? I see and hear the tea trolley being prepared. Shall I send it through the ether via Dr Who's phone box or do you prefer Zaphod Beeblebrox serving your tea ?

[Paul Sherratt]

sigolene,

I find with dogs it's more often the owners who are barking
