to think --some-- Americans are just stupid!

[Ithinkitsjustme]

Have just heard that during the Olympic opening ceremony, when Sir Tim Berners-Lee was revealed, NBC commentators came out with "Who's he?" and told viewers that they would have to Google him to find out who he was! Which, ironically would have been impossible without his invention, .

Whats Reeses ?

Laughing at "globe-trotting Brits" going round incognito

Reeses

I got some Reese peanut butter syrup the other day, now I can make chocolate peanut butter thickshakes and if I close my eyes and imagine REALLY hard I can pretend I am in the Shake Shack.

Ah, thought it would be something like that not really my thing

I'll tell you who are stupid.
People who like Hershey's chocolate.

Yes, all of you.

I think that's chocolateist, MoreLithium. I'm reporting your post!*

*not really.

I did know who he is but I am the 'Trivia Useless Pieces of Information Queen'.

My sentences usually start, 'Now, I'd don't know how I know this but...'.

Yes. And you are being racist too

I was hoping this was going to be a thread about Mitt Romney.

He's funny. We will have a lot of fun with him is he ever became president. World politics hasn't been much fun since Berlosconi went.

Peanut butter syrup? Was this in a normal shop in the UK, or was it from one of the American import shop/websites?

I so wanted to like him. I have a soft spot for Mormons.

Satire wise, if you liked Bush you'll love Romney!

It was actually from a shop here in Oz.

My local veg shop is extending out into international foods.

I'll tell you who are stupid.
People who like Hershey's chocolate.

No, Morelithium,

These are just people who have never tasted European chocolate.

Hershey's chocolate is horrid, I agree. But this is compensated by MARSHMALLOW FLUFF! Lushest thing ever, addicted to it. Must be the absolute nemisis of the no sugar mners though, it takes literally days to get the stickiness off ones fingers

Thanks for the American Soda link Tee. I've been half-heartedly looking for corn meal for a while.

Ah sure, I probably could, chipmonkey, as ILs are Irish, DH 2nd generation immigrant and DS considers himself half Irish (eg cld play rugby for Ireland under national selection rules. He should be so lucky.)

Point is, if you're struggling with a little basic Spanish in, say, Argentina, and they say "Inglese?" You reply "no, Irlandese," and the whole Falklands/Malvinas debate is avoided.

Corn meal is just semolina isn't it?

I always use semolina for corn bread etc.

Won't polenta do, Meta? (unless you want the white stuff.) It looks pretty much the same as masa harina to me. If it's cornmeal for corn bread, I've seen mixes in Selfridges food hall, and, I think, Bentalls in Kingston. Prolly horrendous price, tho.

If you like marshmallow fluff, and peanut butter, you need to make yourself a fluffernutter. Use white bread, or something similarly tasteless as it's just a vehicle for the PB and fluff. I prefer them with smooth PB. Fluffernutters and coffee milk = stuff of legends.

That sounds amazing! Will try..we even have strawberry fluff at the moment!

oh wow I can't vouch for it with strawberry, but with plain fluff it's lush. You do, of course, need to be able to appreciate a good sugar rush!

When did I branch out into poetry.

I'm American and yes, some Americans are stupid, but so are some English people. It's not a one-nationality thing.

Having lived in the UK for awhile, I realise that US-bashing is always a crowdpleaser. Sometimes the bashing's fair, a lot of the time it's petty.

Pleased to see others being critical of the OP.
