pancakes are made with flour, sugar, milk, eggs, oil. you fry them in a pan, they look like flat biscuits. i don't care for them much. has anyone else ever tried deer sausage? we have lots of deer and elk meat, as well as bison. and we pour maple syrup all over the sausages and pancakes!

hey i was readin the paper today, n there was this section, about useless facts about britain.
it said the word "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", was made up buy the welsh in 19th century, to attract people there, cause the town was so boring! lol
and the word "bangers" for sausages, came about, cause durin the world war, the sausages would explode when fried, cause the contained so much water! lol

It's prettin interesting to hear about this stuff. There is a place called Hell, Michigan but nothing I can think of that is obscene.
I have a food question: Here we always have cake and ice cream at a Birthday party and it is always eaten with a fork not a spoon. Even if you only get the ice cream, it is sill eaten with a fork. But only at parties. It would be weird to eat ice cream with a fork any other time.

it's true, we eat ice cream and cake with a fork. i know part of that is becuz you only want to hold one utensil, and for some reason, people have decided that holding a spoon looks silly. even tho it's easier to eat ice cream that way, and you can still eat the cake. i love the name wankem. i want to visit there someday.
