    The first movie I ever saw in a cinema was Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang. I think I was in kindergarten at that point.

    Actually, I think the :ack: factor on a sauerkraut drink is something we can both finally agree on. I barely enjoy the taste of the food itself and just the odor of it reminds me of the memory of my Polish grandmother's kitchen. Not to mention it comes in a close second to asparagus in guaranteeing to make your pee smell funny.

    I am so-so on marmite.

    I don't mind a bit of it on a cracker or toast or something, but I can't eat a lot of it. I definitely don't 'love' it but I don't 'hate' it either.

    Never understood why people get so polarised about a spread and why the company plays in to it with the adverts!

    Why? That only gives them the notoriety and attention they crave.

    that's not what i meant - more like when you talk to fellow germans on the net none of them had any relative on the wrong side during the third reich but then someone must have worn all those brown and black uniforms - purely statistical.

    as to mass shooters: i'd like to report them as another madman found his demise today - no names and burry them in nameless graves, too.

    as to nazis: a relative of mine (not really a relative but a brother in law on my grandma's side) got hanged in '47 and rightly so

    asparagus is just great

    try this

    They certainly do exist.

    Available on the shelf at my local Publix. You obviously live outside the states, but this picture came from the Amazon website, so I hazard to guess you could purchase them there. They are delicious.

    my location says (new) berlin which is
    • the berlin that doesn't need sth like , kansas attached
    • an ini joke on my landlord who advertises under das neue berlin (the new berlin)
    • a more than obvious star trek thing

    My bad...there goes that perfect score for me in Trek Trivia :lol:. Well, that might make it easier for you to find the product in a brick & mortar store depending upon how it's distributed. Like I said, they've been available at Publix for years now and if memory serves (and at my age sometimes it always doesn't :(), I've also seen them at Target. Since some of those pictures on the Google image page also were from Walmart, I would think they might be found there too; although I'd sooner have a root canal without Novocain while lying on a bed of hot coals and listening to Justin Beiber before I set foot in that evil empire.

    I love Berlin. Had a great time touring the Olympiadstadion when I was in Germany a few years ago.

    Although (and no disrespect to Berliners is intended) I kind of liked Munich better. Not just because of the Oktoberfest. Although that was indeed part of it. :lol:

    srsly, Berlin is a fine city as well, I love both, can't wait to go back.

    Only sad part is I will never set foot in Tegel Airport again (now that it's shut down). You HAVE to love any airport where every gate had its own checkin desk, security line, and baggage claim...

    For the record:
    • I *LOVE* black licorice, as well as anise, so I will happily drink Ouzo and Sambuca.
    • I used to like candy corn, but I haven't had it in years, so I don't know if I still do.
    • I hate pickles with the heat of a thousand suns.
    • I like beets and carrots, so I might like the juices, but haven't tried them on their own.
    • I hate sauerkraut even more than I hate pickles.
    • I also hate cabbage, which seemed to be part of every Polish dish my grandfather made.
    • I like asparagus.
    OK, I'm completely blank on this. Do I need to turn in my geek card?
