They usually make me hungry- not sure if that is good or bad!^ Yum, that even looks a bit healthy. I love the idea of photos in this thread. Food photos are the best

I haven't heard back, so I have gone ahead and changed your image to a link. If you do own the site, let me know, and we can revert it back.
Also, @Butters ... after only almost six months (
), I finally noticed there was a typo in the thread title. I went ahead and fixed it for you. But if it was some joke or reference or something that I didn't get, and you would like it reverted, please let me know.A typo?I haven't heard back, so I have gone ahead and changed your image to a link.

Ah. I never spotted it.
No worries; same. I think the brain just overrides with what we expect to see.
Ironically, I went from here to the Disco forum, and my brain auto-corrected a typo in a thread title there, too. I didn't notice it till someone else pointed it out in the thread.

Easy recipe.
Me too.
This is an urban legend but still amusing:
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws, and while there, went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up, eyes closed, and both hands behind the back of her head.
One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open and she looked very strange.
He asked her if she was okay, and she replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that she had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She had initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.
I saw a dramatisation of that one a while ago, can’t remember what it was on though.
this is propably slightly off-topic but I noticed the expression "hard Italian bread" which reminded me that when I was in the US I saw only sponge-like soft bread and rolls in the supermarkets. Was that just coincidence or are bread and rolls in America always made for the toothless? I found the structure very unpleasant and after 2 weeks would have murdered for something more chewy, like a crispy roll or a hearty wholemeal bread or at least a slice of rusk.
But hailing from the country with the world's most sorts of bread I am admittedly spoilt.

You have to go to a more gourmet-type grocer or a specialty bakery instead of the regular, run-of-the-mill grocery stores.

ah! Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to follow your advice when I next come to the US (i.e. in the post-Trump-aera; hoping that it won't become a beyond-Trump-aera

He keeps reminding me of Mr Toad.
Though admittedly in the past there were a few surprisingly good choices, as a general rule the Americans appear to have a very unfortunate talent for electing the most unsuitable candidate for President. This particular one has been extremely successful in damaging America's reputation in the world, I regret to say.
