I stayed at a Holiday Inn in London and the breakfast spread was crazy huge.  They did have Heinz beans though!  smile

Oh, and the beans? They are served cold.  Lukewarm beer and cold beans.  No wonder the English are known for their hideous cuisine.  
IIRC, they also serve some little sausages they call bangers.🙁

So, mixed memories, I guess.

Dave, I'll have to admit that some of that I've eaten (calf, squirrel, rabbit brain, sweetbread, [hog?] head cheese) and it's very good. The bull testicles I've never eaten, but I'm not averse to trying them, if given the opportunity. I think I've eaten something akin to blood pudding called blood boudin(a French term, IIRC).

Rod, actually the part that I found really amusing was 74 (Leftist) journalism professors. Their opinions are less than worthless.

Rod, are you waiting for Trump to tell you that it's okay to "wipe your a**"?

Rod, I suspect that only those with leftist inclinations engage in such stupidity. Most sensible people know to use paper towels and not flush them or, in an absolute emergency, hop in the shower.smile

Gas Price in New Orleans

Posted By Darian Rachal

I just checked on the Gas Buddy site and gasoline is selling in N.O. at a couple of places for $.879 and $.889/gallon. Around here(Alexandria), I saw it yesterday for $1.639.

Rod, if you want to see money well spent on roads, just take a trip through the countryside of Texas. The roads are well maintained and the speed limit is a comfortable 70mph. On the interstates, trucks are sent out to clean up any debris. I don't know how it is in CA, but the amount of litter along the roads in TX is minuscule compared to LA; I honestly believe that LA is the filthiest state in the entire US.
