Mmmmmmm, just how I like my marshmallows too. ON FIRE!!!!
Ditto. Especially when they get that black, charred layer on the outside, and then they’re nearly liquid on the inside? This has inspired me to get skewers and roast marshmallows on my stove.
Yummy, me too. Omnomnomnom
Marshmallow Bonfire: Now come with angry mobs.
Oh, I thought that was normal!
THOSE AREN”T MARSHMALLOWS! THEY’RE BELGIAN!
I’m with you. If I wanted a raw marshmallow, I wouldn’t have bothered to skewer it with a stick and put it over the fire.
Besides, it doubles as a weapon. Don’t underestimate the pain that a still flaming glob of sticky marshmallow goo can inflict upon your enemies!
Somehow I always seem to be in the minority on that. The other day I was roasting marshmallows with bunch of friends and one of them looks at mine and is like, “oh my god, your marshmallow is on fire!” and I was like, “good”. No one else agreed with me though.
I like my hotdogs grilled till they have at least some black on them. Don’t give me a raw hot dog, make mine well done.
I agree! They should be just this side of crunchy.
YES! What is the point of cooking with fire otherwise? I mean really!
OK, PK marshmallow roast!
*passes out skewers and white goodness*
You need new friends, Jane.
That’s how my entire family (minus me) likes them. You’re in good company.
The poor man’s napalm!
Or the results of the Ghostbusters……
*bites into flaming hot marshmallow* My ongue! My ongue ith on fir!
heeey! where are the pitchforks? you cant have angry peasants without pitchforks.
The peasants are revolting!
Well then, make them wash.
Quickly! To the store for Hershey bars and graham crackers! THIS is how you do a flame war!
No can do, we have neither down this way..
Australia sucks. Internet censorship and no Hershey’s chocolate.
or graham crackers..
Graham crackers = digestive biscuits. If thats what you call them in Australia. It’s what we call them in England anyway
Ah, yes, in England crackers = biscuits, but I don’t think graham crackers = digestive biscuits. I certainly wouldn’t swap.
The digestive biscuits I’ve seen don’t look anything like graham crackers. However, there is a store not to far from me that specializes in food from the US. The only problem is, things like graham crackers don’t have a long shelf life so it would make me wonder how fresh they would be.
Hm, I didn’t really mean equals, more equivalent to. From what I’ve found out, the closest thing to graham crackers you can get here is digestives. Really I’ve never even tried graham crackers, but I know that in the US they are used to make smores with marshmallow and chocolate and here we use chocolate digestives
Yum.
Also, I will try to clear this up:
American – English
Cookies – Biscuits (But actually we sometimes call the type with chocolate chips cookies)
Crackers – Crackers (But we call them biscuits sometimes, epecially when referring to cheese and biscuits)
Biscuits – Scones (Probably, or maybe muffins. And also on that note, if you come to Enland and ask for a muffin, you will probably get an American muffin, rather than the bready ones if you know what I mean)
Wow, I tend to drag along a bit with my posts ,don’t I?
‘s OK. It’s about food!
Food is good
I’m just crackers about CHEESE!
Cheese is good too
Cheese and crackers got all muddy!!
That’s very informative.
So what do they call English muffins in England?
muffins?
Enough of your logic! It has no place here!
*is chastised*
But that begs the question, what do they call Canadian bacon in Canadia?
What do you mean by Canadian bacon? Because we don’t use that term at all.
It’s really ham, cut in 2-3 inch rounds, for topping pizzas.

That…is awesome!
Mabs & DU: we would probably refer to that as back bacon.
Wino: We call that Funny Movie
Canadian bacon is not bacon. It’s fvcking ham!
Do we really need to bring Ham’s sexual proclivities into the conversation?
Just to tell you, we do actually call them muffins
We call muffins muffins, scones scones, and the American “muffins” are “American muffins”!
But what do we call American muffins in America? Oh, I’m so confused!
In America, you call American muffins, muffins. I think.
You just call them muffins, which is odd, because they look more like tray buns.
Yeah, but cookies are also called biscuits. So if you ask for a biscuit, who knows what you may get. Where as in the states, biscuits are more like what scones are here.
Damn, I’m getting a headache trying to sort this out!
Throw them for a loop, and ask for a cat head biscuit.
Yes and no. Whereas scones can come in such delicious flavors as chocolate chip I’ve yet to have, or want, a chocolate chip biscuit.
No, those would be muffins.. scones (at least here) are more like biscuits in the States. Now one thing I have really gotten my head around is what they call a Devonshire Tea. You basically have a scone with jam and thickened cream (more like a custard, but not really the same). Man, I loves my Devonshire Tea.
(oh, and to qualify what tea is, I’m not talking about what you drink. Tea is more like a meal – for example, you have morning tea which is like a morning break, or afternoon tea which could be a snack or it could be your evening meal. Geez, that headache is getting worse!)
I had an ex who took me out to High Tea on a date once. Best. Date. Ever.
I had one once, not in a fancy restaurant. But those silly cucumber sandwiches? They are to DIE for!
*makes a note to take DU to the Ritz for afternoon tea*
Except they’re formed and baked completely different than muffins, or what we would term muffins. Now, I know that Americans can’t do anything without fattening things up but the scones my mom makes are traditional scone recipes, she just adds chocolate chips, or cherries, or a billion other delicious things. Mmmmmmm, just thinking about makes me want to ask my mom to make me some scones now.
Get the recipe from her while you’re at it! *drools, discretely*
My mom is one of those annoying cooks that don’t have actual recipes for stuff. They either just make stuff up or the recipe they have has been so altered (and not written down how it’s been altered) that it’s unrecognizable from its original form. If you were to ever ask my mother how she made something she would usually say, “oh, it’s not hard, just a little of [food item] and a dash of [spice item], it’s so easy anyone could do it!”
Right mom. Right.
A number of my moms recipes are like that, she’s taught me to make Kansas City Steak Stew three times, and each time it’s different. I have a similar problem when she tries to teach me the marinade for the beef jerky.
Jane, I must confess I’m the same type of cook as your mom as far as recipes go. With the exception of baking things, I pretty much either don’t use recipes or if I want to figure out how to make something specific I’ll look at 2 or 3 different recipes to get the general proportions, timing, etc. and then wing it. My mother, on the other hand, follows recipes to the letter after over 50 years of cooking. Go figure.
The proper pronunciation of scone should rhyme with ‘gone’. Rhyming it with ‘bone’ is ‘non-U’. Neither should be confused with Scone, the town in Scotland, which rhymes with ‘spoon’.
English muffin = crumpet.
Of course, crumpet is also what you get from a willing English person after a few drinks and some snappy necking.
I pronounce it so rhyming with ‘bone’. How is that non-U?
Rhyming with “bone” is a very lower-class way of pronouncing “scone”. Don’t ask me why; it just is.
Rhyming scone with spoon is just plain wrong, unless it’s the place in Perthshire, and not an item of baked goods.
My family come from Devon, and they pronounce it like me. :/
Ok, it’s considered very working class (steelmen and miners being the sort of people who would use it) in Scotland.
Are you saying all Americans are low class steel miners?
I could never be English. I HATE tea!!
I AM English and I hate tea. Explain that.
You were obviously swapped at birth.
With who?
Well, in Scotland, “High Tea” is a proper sit-down meal, typically what a restaurant would call an entree, followed by what the English call “afternoon tea”, bread and butter and/or finger sandwiches with sweet and savoury cakes, biscuits, English muffins and scones.
High Tea is also what you get when you mix tea and pot. But not into a teapot.
I don’t know about the not into a teapot thing, steeping it into a tea actually might work. I don’t know if it would taste to good though. I may have to recommend that to some friends of mine now.
But I hear you have awesome asian food. That makes me jealous, do you know how hard it is to get real asian food in Wisconsin?!?
I don’t know about awesome.. to be honest, I’m not that big on asian food, but there does seem to be a preponderance of those types of restaraunts. Oh, and Indian as well, but then I don’t eat that type of food.
My friend just spent 6 months in Perth. He came back raving about all the great Chinese/Indian restaraunts as well as the vast variety of sushi.
The only chinese place close to me is one of those imposter joints that uses the same sauce (probably from an industrial sized jug or can) for 8 different dishes, so you really are just getting the same exact dish with slightly different variations of meat and vegetables.
I bet they offer soft-serve ice cream for dessert, too, don’t they?
Yes. In THREE “flavors”! You can get flavorless vanilla, flavorless chocolate, or if you’re feeling a little wild you can get a flavorless twist of the two!
No cones. No fudge. No nuts. No whip cream. No sprinkles.
Just soft-serve in a dish.
Bummer! Real Asian food should be followed with something like ginger or coconut icecream. I have a sad for you, The Steve!
Well, as long as you remember to add “in bed” to the end of your fortune, the cookies are ok.
Oddly, the frozen yogurt place down the street offers coconut soft serve, though I don’t think they have ginger.
I see Bad Chinese Buffet is universal.
Ugh, I hate Chinese buffets. I’ve given them a chance in the past. There are a couple Chinese restaurants here that I love. When my dad visited earlier this month he desperately wanted to go to an awesome Chinese restaurant here. Sadly they were closed. It was Monday.
Panda Inn has amazing Chinese food, they are owned by the Panda Express people, but the quality is sooooo much better.
Also, a friend of mine was in China last week, he gave very poor reviews of the Chinese food their.
I spent nearly a month there a year or so ago and heartily disagree. You gotta know where to go and fortunately, since it was a Martial Arts school trip, our teacher (born and raised there) knew all the good places. Had stuff that I can still taste and haven’t found here at all. Had most of the different cuisines and enjoyed all.
It was like that when I was in Singapore. Great food and not too expensive.
Doesn’t the food vary very much depending on what part of China you’re in?
(American chinafood is not much like Swedish chinafood, btw. :p )
Yes! There are many regional variations of Chinese food. In cities with large Chinese populations, you will find listings for different types of Chinese restaurants in the phone book (there’s a section that lists restaurants by type). What most Americans eat as “Chinese” is as about as Chinese as the Mexican food here is Mexican.
If you go to Chinatown in Boston–Mandarin, Sechuan, etc…
@mabs…actually, after being there and having the experience to make comparisons, I was surprised to find the number of local places that compare very favorably. Our favorite place here at home would be right at home over there and there a some places in Philadelphia (my nearest city) and New York that are very authentic. There wa a place in Boston (years ago) that would fit in perfectly in Shanghai in both menu and setting. There is a Thai place here in South Jersey that is addictive. You just have to know where to look…and where not to.
Wait…are you saying that Taco Bell…..no…NNOOOOOEEESSS!!!11!!!!!!!!
But those are actual cities. I know (having lived in Seattle, San Diego & outside San Francisco) that in cities you can find real Asian food. Albuquerque is really just a large town, with a small Asian population. Most people here think the Chinese buffet places ARE Chinese food. I’ve actually found that to be true of lots of people even in cities that have the real thing.
In the town we lived in outside San Francisco, there was a nice Chinese restaurant with a very American Chinese restaurant, but they would make things off the menu if we asked.
Chinese buffets. Ugh. “Hey, the Chinese like buffalo wings, too! Go figure!”
There’s one by us that has freaking tacos….and pizza. Ayup.
Mom and Dad went to China a few years ago, and when they got back, Mom wouldn’t touch American Chinese food. She said there was no comparison.
We used to live on the west coast where they have some great Asian food. Here in NM, when someone says an Asian place is good, we always ask if they like the Chinese buffet place. If they do, then wherever they recommend isn’t worth going to.
Mabsba, one of my favorite places in ABQ is Chen’s up on Juan Tabo just north of Central. Kind of small, but the food is very, very good (or at least it was when I was there in ’08). If you go, go early as it’s damn near impossible to get a table after 5:30.
There’s a place here that we go to called Ling Wah. They are by far the best Chinese that I have had here, and no MSG!!!!
Yeah, unfortunately even some of the places that say they don’t use MSG, do. Believe me, I can tell.
Me too.. I get violently ill and massive headaches bordering on migraines if I have MSG.
And FTR, I avoid the Chinese Buffet places. Weird things tend to get added to the food.
“Weird things tend to get added to the food.”
Yes, like too many germs and too little heat.
Hee hee. We just had a Chinese buffet place closed here for failing a health inspection.
I’m going for (westernized) Chinese buffet on Wednesday…now, I’m not so sure. Thanks guys.
They just opened a new place not too far from me. It’s called Quido’s Wok.. they specialize in pizza and chinese. I’m thinking, “WTF?!?!”
Steve, I think you should know that I heard this morning on the news that Perth was missing from the map. Police are telling everyone to be on the lookout for a Perth snatcher.
Don’t be hatin’.
His name is Sydney, yes?
S’mores?? where where where?? Funny enough I made some the other night.. i guess they saw our flames.
But WHAT’S the Carbon footprint for this flame war? (PPSST that was my LOL…
)
I keep on getting an image of Dr Frank N Stein relocating to Afghanistan only to find the peasants misreading his name and chasing him off with flaming marshmallows. “but but folks.. it’s the OTHER frankenstein you want”
Mmmmm, giant marshmallows!! What a great caption, I lol’d!
Omnomnom-ouch-omnonom-ouch
*receives a tap on the shoulder*
*listens to the stranger*
Ah, apparently you’re supposed to blow out the fire, then nom. I can see this would be much easier.
ZOMG I’M EATING A FLAMING MARSHMALLOW!!!
*Throws a bucket of water on the Cap’n and Rando*
Wet-shirt contest!! Woohoo….uh, Rando, would you mind going and drying off? We really only want to see Cap’t Wow…..
As to the pronunciation of Scone up above, in my neck of the woods it actually rhymes with ron.
My County is retarded.
