#1 I have tasted English food; the waste basket is a good place for it. Grease fried mashed potatoes for breakfast? Yech! Kidney pie? Awful!

#4 BIGNEWSNETWORK > MUSLIM NEWS - GREAT BRITAIN FORECASTED TO BECOME THE MOST POPULOUS NATION IN EUROPE. HMMMMM< "most populous" + mostly Muslim [ala WND].

Speaking of FOOD > WND > CHINA LOOKS AT OVERSEAS LANDS FOR FOOD - LOOKING AT AFRICA AND SOUTH AMERICA.

* WORLDNEWS/TOPIX > CHINA IN GLOBAL LANDS SEARCH FOR FOOD.

OWG/Global Agri-Zones = Food Colletives, versus solely Chinese???

#6 Hey, I make a great steak & kidney pie. Not summer fare, but good on a damp, cold day.

There's GREAT food in the Orkneys - at least one Michelin starred chef moved back to his home there a while ago and started a small restaurant using only very local, fresh ingredients. One of the best we've ever eaten at.

But then there was London .....

#7 Speaking of FOOD > WND > CHINA LOOKS AT OVERSEAS LANDS FOR FOOD- LOOKING AT AFRICA AND SOUTH AMERICA.

China isn't going to get anything useful out of those parts of the world, foodwise, unless they manage to impose peace on the fractious occupants.

Based on past performance, I think they're planning to replace the "fractious occupants".

#10 When I was young(about 40 years ago), I read an article that the Brits were fussing about all the good protein that they were wasting by feeding it to pets. I love our English cousins, but prefer to look elsewhere for dinner.

#11 Ahhh but then there's the Ale and that makes everything all right.

#12 Bangers and Mash, bubbles and squeek, fish and chips. The Brits have some damn tasty stuff they rarely get credit for.

#18 Just one, lotp? :-(

g(r)omgoru, switching Han for Bantu would be a bit more noticed than Han for Tibetan. And look how much attention Tibet is getting nowadays.
