    WHAT EVEN IS POLISH FOOD?!
    Stuff like chlodnik, and it's delicious.

    That is actually the Lithuanian version! The Polish version is white and is made with more cucumbers and garlic and no beetroot. Both are really good, though.

    Oh right! We also pickle everything. We put everything in jars and most of it is awesome. Our traditional pickles are actually a bit different than normal ones, though. you don't put the cucumber in vinegar or anything. Instead it's a mixture of water, salt, horseraddish, parsley, cherry leaves, dill, and whatever other stuff you want. Leave it for some time and voila! You get delicious old and wet cucumbers!

    I worked with a guy from Warsaw who once a week used to cook us polish food. It was good.

    Compared to the US, the UK definitely doesn't have as much of a Mexican presence. I've never had a taco in my life. I've never actually been to a Mexican as well, come to think of it. There's... one Mexican in Winchester. It's not very well known, though, and it's a restaurant so it's not the sort of thing I can just have.

    Americans: Taco Bell. Apparently the food is terrible, but you guys go there all the time. Why?

    Cheap and it's more of an in-joke that it's bad. It honestly isn't that bad. Usually when it's bad it's cause of location and not cause of taco bell.

    I mean it isn't the best thing ever but it's not super bad like people say it is.

    Princessa's good and all but Prince Polo is where it's really at!

    Yeah, that reminds me. We have really good candy and chocolates and stuff like that.


    Also, US guys - do you always buy pumpkin in a can for pumpkin pie? Because I try to make that every year, and yet we don't have those cans so whenever I look for an American pumpkin pie recipe I have to dig really deep to find one made with actual pumpkin.

    Do you just buy a pumpkin instead?

    I can send you cans of Pumpkin Puree if you want.

    I do! And I like making pumpkin puree from scratch and it's pretty easy so I was wondering why I can never find recipes for pumpkin pie with actual pumpkin puree instead of the canned stuff.

    I dunno. I had Taco Bell in California and it was pretty bad. That was 2002, though. Maybe I'll try it again someday. It probably doesn't help that I prefer hard shell to soft shell.

    I had more Mexican food in NZ than I have had in the UK, but it's still pretty common over here. I get Mexican stuff from Sainsburys pretty much every week because their enchiladas are pretty great.

    Phone coverage is fine. Depends on the phone and the provider, just like any other place.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    They're gross and literally carry Leprosy here in the Southern US.
