I thought neeps were swede?

I love Turnip fritters. Mashed turnips, a bit of flour and an egg, then fried in a pan.. like pancakes.. but smaller..

I happen to love the flavor and texture of turnips. So good! There’s no accounting for taste.

Heart, liver and lungs I think. Minced, oatmeal added with seasoning and cooked in a tight bag, so effectively it's steamed from the inside when cooked. When the bag is pierced there's a beautiful moment of steam escaping before it splits open under the pressure.

Served with mashed neeps and tatties (turnips and pototoes)

Few things about being Scottish are SO Scottish as Haggis.

What animal organs do they use? I used to make a stew with lambs tongue, heart, head, lungs, tripe and a few other organs.. Used to cook them for hours then serve it with a "garlic water" (diced garlic with water) diced hard bread and lots of lemon juice.. It was a Traditional New Years day dinner., We called it PATCHA,,

This Haggis begins to interest me. Anyone know anyway I can get some here in the states?

There was something on BBC world ews travel show the other day with a Scottish / Chinese celebration, included a recipe for a stir-fry haggis recipe with a chilli/whisky dip

Offal are the internal organs, heart, liver, kidneys etc

Haggis is one of the great culinary delights available to mankind.

What is "offal" from a sheep? Is like a lunch meat, a roast? how is it cooked, fried, baked, boiled???

Haggis is basically seasoned offal from a sheep, minced and cooked in a skin, which was originally the stomach lining, but is now artificial. It has a fabulous flavour and texture, and is traditionally eaten in Scotland on Burns' Night, the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, whose poem "Address To A Haggis" is often read out as the haggis is presented to the room. With someone playing bagpipes in a kilt of course!

Best line of the poem (for me) is "Great chieftain of the pudding race", something I often call my cat.

Ok, never ever tried Haggis, what is it anyway? I have heard of it..
Isn't it funny how we develop our taste's? When my son was about 2 my husband put some spinich in his mashed potatoes, well he discovered it was in there before he ate it and would NEVER try it.. I don't think he even got it into his mouth.. He still won't eat it..

my wife says they used to feed their dogs tripe when she was growing up and the smell of it cooking was disgusting, this soup obviously had a lot of spices added

A neighbor was making soup and I said that smells so good, well she came over and gave me a cup of her soup, the smell was Curry, love it, but it was tripe, can't say I hated it, I don't think it had any taste, and was really chewy like grizzle, wouldn't eat it again but it sure did smell good..

Liver is pretty bad as is most other offal.

Raw clams and oysters are mot sushi and are not called sushi now. Apparently you have never been to an actual sushi restaurant.

Can't say I've ever wanted to try tripe either

Dinnae Ken

My dad loved tripe. Tripe and onions especially. BLEEEEEUUCH. The only food I will never, ever eat. And I'm Scottish, so had haggis twice last week for Burn's Night and leftovers!! It's not as offal as it sounds.

I love tofu. So many ways to fix it.

I love Spam but my heart doctor wants me to eat it sparingly

Sushi is a vinegared rice dish, sashimi is raw fish and meats

has anyone "tasted" tofu?

I'll eat any of the listed foods but I HATE turnips! They have a funky flavor that I can't get past. I love all other vegetables but I'll never put a turnip in my mouth ever again!

TO Me Treat meat is any kind of canned processed meats, eg spam, Armour meat, or even the Vienna sausages.. All PROCESSED MEATS,.

Tofu is curd made from mashed soybeans, used chiefly in Asian and vegetarian cooking.

I've heard Vegans make tofu turkey and color it..

To me it's very bland tasteless processed junk..

What is Treet meat, never heard of it.. I haven't tasted Tofo..

These three things make me want to gag!!!!!

Happen to LOVE LOVE LOVE SUSHI, When I was younger we'd have a Clam/Oyster bar in the next town and Dad used to take us kids that liked it to that place on Saturday nights.. Not to mention going "Down to the Shore" and eating clams and oysters on the half shell.. That's what they call sushi now. LOLOL

That is true, or so I've heard..

I love The Twilight Zone, too! I find it useful for anecdotes in every day life (though my friends and coworkers usually have no frame of reference lol).

Same. I eat just about everything

Well we found out when I ate Clsms I was 12 thst I was allergic to them

I don't like shell fish either.. I would have sushi with just veggies.. I didn't think I didn't like so many things..

Deeee-lish!

Try a California roll (my favorite): cucumber, crab or imitation crab and avocado

All sushi isn't raw fish.

😝

Suisi, can't hardly say it without gaging, don't like rare meat and can't even think about eating raw fish..

There are no foods that I Absolutely hate, just some that I enjoy more than others. Most of the foods on this list are ones I enjoy eating a lot. Especially liver, spinach and brussels sprouts. And no need for any ketchup to cover up the flavor of the liver.

Me too, not enough ketchup for that. 😝

Liver.

nothing on the list I hate, a few I'm not keen on.
I don't like eggs, fatty meat or some fish much so avoid them where possible.

I never liked liver growing up, but that was mainly the way it was cooking. I've had it thinly sliced and pan-fried with the right sauce it's delicious. I've also made my own chicken-liver pate which is wonderful fresh

Coconut

Ivoted for "Other", because I hate bamboo shoots and canned beef.

The only Series I rewatch is Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. I watch it EVERY year during its marathon. I LOVE it.

My mom used to put junk mail in the envelope and mail it back too. I usually just use it for scrap paper.

YES! Right now it’s 12 STRONG, then NOTTING HILL, DOWN PERISCOPE, HUNTER/KILLER, BATTLESHIP, and maybe anything John Wayne!

I use them to eat potato chips as disposable plate. Because I don't like getting my hand in the bag every time.

but most junk mail is sent from from other mail distributors that the royal mail has a legal requirement to deliver, they have to recover their costs by charging everyone else more for their services. Another flawed government policy to try and introduce competition than puts unnecessary costs on existing infrastructure

unfortunately that wouldn't work in the UK, the post office has a legal requirement to deliver all post

That was my thought too! I think the cost of postage in the UK would put off even the most hardened junk mailer. They'd be bankrupt before the postman delivered to number 37!

Weird. Reading the replies I realize that paper junk mail is still common in the US. For me junk mail is mainly what I get in the email. For that the SPAM filters are becoming quite good.

Where I live a red card or large red dot in or on my mailbox signifies NO JUNK MAIL. I never have to deal with junk mail.

If it has a return envelope prepaid, I stuff it full and mail it back

USPS mail is returned free of charge. Its a included service, providing its not registered or signature conformation.

I tear it up, then throw in in the streets where it blows onto neighbors lawns and litters the neighborhood.

I recycle it and if there is enough blank space I print S__tpuzzles (crossword puzzles used on the throne) before recycling them.

If sent by a person or company, I usually write on it and say, RETURN TO SENDER, and put it back in the mailbox.. Send it that way costs the sender return mail fees..

Resolutions are a usually a major disappointment, due to the fact they usually are never fulfilled.. Never made one so never in my life have been disappointed by not fulfilling them.

I think of the waste of a tree!

Luckily I don't get much, but it normally goes straight into the recycling bin

in all seriousness, it doesn't take much to recycle paper.

Burn it

I burn it in the wood stove.

I put it in the outgoing box and I never see it again.

Almost 2/3 of us don't make resolutions. Bravo!

No

I don't think he has much chance, he hasn't played since 2012

To be as smart as rabbitoid.

I made a resolution about 20 years ago to never make another resolution - so far I've stuck to it

Yes! Achieve total world domination.

classic, I like it when Thin Lizzy plays it

Because it's the law. It supposedly funds the BBC. Personally I would happily pay a subscription for the BBC instead as I think it's the world's best news provider

That doesn’t mean I have to like them I didn’t mind them until I got sick last Summer

They all are a necessary evil in this world

Why do you pay for tv license in UK ?

We had this too. The tax was only abolished last year.

I'm not a big fan of paying any bills, but I do not understand why we are still paying a tv license for the BBC? Especially since I never watch or listen to it any of their programs.

Every time I see their ad on tv, I always say to it when they want to know "What's in your wallet!" I always say to the tv, "NOTHING because you have it all." OK, don't judge when you put the blame on me. Deserved YES, but not neccesary...I know.

Blizzard

He was so clumsy and cute

She is my favourite too, although she is a little cruel to Rudolph by laughing and calling him names

the other reindeer!

She liked Rudolph no matter what his nose was like.

He was brilliant

But I like Foghorn Leghorn also...

I have always loved Sylvester the cat and nothing has ever changed that lol I still have a blanket with Sylvester on it plus a Christmas ornament and patch i keep at my desk! I loved that even though he had a lisp he was always confident and stood his ground! As a child and growing up, Strength was important and still is!

Tasmanian devil!

I like foghorn leghorn he should have made the list

IT WAS A QUESTION, NOT A STATEMENT!

I don't know how to vote on this, I like all of them EXCEPT a few I don't care for.. To hard to call for a favorite..

I loved Pepe la Pew !

Munro - (who was only four).

Finally someone with a good taste

The greatest cartoon character is Me, Myself and I!

My faves are GARFIELD and SNOOPY ♥️💕♥️💕♥️

PINK PANTHER is cool too. They should air reruns of this. I have it on DVD but I don’t think it’s on tv anymore.

THE FLINTSTONES and THE JETSONS are also good.

I’ve loved cartoons since I was little. The little girl in me still does. Hee hee 😊

Dick Dastardly and Muttley...

Some of the options are not characters, but whole shows like the Simpsons which is not the title of the poll. I can't think of a cartoon character I like more than any others.

Peter Griffin from Family Guy.

My home office on my computer with Goldtoken.

Probably the living room, closely followed by the bedroom. But I probably spend more time at work in my office

garage or the Dog House...

I like to garden when I’m home. My back yard definitely.

Hey, how many rooms have I got in my city apartment to pick from?

The living room, my tv, my iPad, and my recliner is in there... Also I can watch it snow..

my sunroom-it's four season and I can watch the snow fly which I love

living room. My apt. is small and the largest room is the living room which is perfect size to be both airy and yet cozy at the same time.

Now some men like a fishin'
And some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear

I will just keep on keeping on. Not one thing will change. Though I am hoping to move away from this snow.

Our family has done this since I can remember...
Each family member chooses, at random, 12 grapes. Each grape represents one month of the year. The hope is that each grape is nice and sweet... Hoping for 12 good months!

Yeah, for me it's never really been a big thing. I like letting go of anything I might have grudged from the year before, and starting with a mindset of being positive and trying new things.

Happy New Year to everyone here! May 2023 be fun and peaceful!!

I'll be working.

I thought I'd be alone on this one but it is nice to have some company. Pleasent dreams and Happy New Year!

Celebrate my birthday

Hangover.

Red Dwarf fan here too, Cat has some of the best lines!

Enjoy this show. Love Cat!

I also enjoy watching Red Dwarf.

Is my favorite.

Trading Places [A $1 bet between the owners of a commodity trading company leads to an account executive and a con artist swapping lives during the Christmas season.]
The Family Man [At Christmas, a Wall Street executive who is a bachelor is given a glimpse into the life he could have had if he'd gotten married and raised a family.]
Serendipity [Just before Christmas, a man and a woman meet and fall in love. They decide, however, to leave their relationship entirely up to chance.]
Starman & Paul [Each of these movies is the story of a lovable alien miracle worker.]
Freezer Burn [An alien company called Gazcon takes over the Town of Laxdale. The aliens mess up the weather, causing a winter heat wave. Bill Swanson, a former hockey player, works with a woman named Gina to rectify the situation.]
The Ref [A cat burglar takes a family hostage on Christmas Eve. The members of the family are always bickering, so the cat burglar has to work at settling their arguments.]
Are We There Yet? [This is the story of a man taking two children on a road trip during the Christmas season, so the kids can spend time with their mother.]

I won't argue Trading Places... often pops up in an Xmas movie debate. I don't recall the others well enough to have an opinion.

Certainly, some of the listed movies aren't Christmas movies... but The Polar Express???? I think someone misread the question!

In my opinion, the following 8 films all are Christmas movies: Trading Places, The Family Man, Serendipity, Starman, Paul, Freezer Burn, The Ref, Are We There Yet?

TWO...Forrest Gump, The Perfect Storm

Great ! Happy x-mas and a great New Year !

Shèngdàn Jié kuàilè!..chinese

I can speak some of English, French, Spanish and Chinese. Of the four I don't know Chinese Merry Christmas.

this site would seem to indicate that means daughter's day, so I feel you are probably wise not to say that to a Klingon
https://sites.google.com/a/klingonword.org/klv/klv-klingon-standard-vocabulary

Some time ago they also had a Klingon translator but some sad natured manager took it down.
There's still a free one here: https://www.translate.com/english-klingon that says the correct translation is jaj puqbe' . I'll take their word for it, I'm not going to argue with a Klingon.

I bet it isn't, I'm sure languages that don't celebrate Christmas don't often have a word for it.

For example, in Arabic it translates to happy birthday. You need to be a little more creative and say eid eisaa - feast of Isa (Jesus) or eid almasih - feast of the messiah

As many as there are languages in google translate.

Feliz Navidad and merry Christmas.

Jools pre heat the oven then use off it works but you will have shut the oven doors the smell will knock your socks off

I love my token also!

When I clean I like to do it properly, so I hate cleaning the oven most as no matter how hard I try it looks no better when done than it did at the start

I really don't have one. I just want to be on top.

Toilets!

My least favorite chore is paying the housekeeper when she comes on Tuesdays.

I would have to say dusting because it triggers my allergies and asthma. I like doing laundry the most.

Andrea

I am disabled and can't do any chores except washing dishes which I like to do. The rest is up to my caretaker!

Direct your attention to the Notice at the top!

From now until December 31st, if you send an idea for a poll to the Pollmaster and the Poll Team approves it, you will be awarded 2 random poll tokens. You will need the poll question and several answers for it to qualify.

Good luck!

Probably something to do with rabid commercialisation

Wow! Seems to me that somewhere along the line that the spirit of Christmas has been lost.

I chose other:
Because now it seem if you buy something,
Sometimes it’s not good enough or they wanted something else.
So I don’t give them gift cards, I just give them cash money.
And if they ever complain about that, they had better not expect it again.

depends for I'm buying and for whom. If I see a bargain I may buy it in advance, but usually some time in December. No thanksgiving sales for us who don't live in the US

This is 2022... Whenever I get an idea for someone I hit the keyboard and Amazon it.

I know the feeling. I have the same problem, but the sentence usually comes from Mrs Rabbit.

I seem to hear that every time I approach a table with attractive women.

People can't drive during normal rain...(drive too fast and hydroplane)..... it gets that bad on ice/snow stay home.

They're saying 41% rain today... we can only hope.

that's the problem with the UK, it happens so infrequently nobody is geared up for it when it does come

They get snow in the mountains and it has even been known to snow in the deserts on occasions, the temp rarely gets into single figures in my part of the country though, 30 deg here today

Definitely not something we see in the UK. I know two people who switch to snow tyres (one from Canada, one from Sweden) in January/February if we get a bad Scottish winter.

I live near a hill to a railway bridge, and the total ineptitude of drivers in even light snow is incredible. Very basic training on use of gears, gentle inputs etc. would go a long way to stopping the road getting blocked by a sideways car every day!

Pretty overcast today. Supposed to be 56 F in the Marina tomorrow.

Snow chains?? I haven't seen snow at a Southern California Beach in a long time. Shoot, it doesn't even rain here anymore...

Or look at the date. Do they have April 1st jokes in KSA?

Not much chance of seeing that where i am in Saudi Arabia, so if I saw it I would wonder how the hell I got where I was

I don’t drive any more.wrecked my car 3 years ago and my daughter convinced me I was too old. Didn’t agree then, but I’m getting used to the idea.

I would chain up, they wouldn't tell you to if it was not needed, and it's better than sliding into someone or off the mountain..

Snow on the ground in Paris? Not in the last 10 years. and when there was snow The city became a big parking lot anyway, chains or no chains.

Well if it's a "big" meal I expect the following:

Butter knife
Soup spoon
Fish knife & fork
Salad knife & fork
Dinner knife, fork & spoon (or meat knife)
Dessert knife, fork & spoon
Coffee spoon

And yes I know what order to set them out and use them

Foons.

Hmmm, sporks were not an option. You know, those utensils which look like a spoon, but have mini tines at the end?

I am going to have to look for those!

When I lived in Beijing I tried to use chopsticks.

I chose knife, fork, and spoon but only if there was ice cream or soup on the menu. It's too unsatisfying trying to eat soup with a fork.

Chopsticks used at my house for most meals

Count Yourblessings

But I went with Basie

I like the count(down) of rocket launches....

Mine too! I found mini treats that were Count Chocula themed. Like chocolate rice cereal treats, very tasty and just a bite or two.

Count von Count

I would like it it was count money.. I would like counting money if it was mine.. lol

Lol me too

I don't like none of them!

That was one of my favorite cereals when I was a child.

Count Laszlo de Almasy In "The English Patient" movie.

hilarious ‼️

How about: "Count me out of this poll?"

I am Edmond Dantes!

Count me out for this poll.

Count von Count... Sesame Street

Count Almaviva from The Barber of Seville.

Lol

I know when I shop grocery or retail, sections are moved continually and you have to find what you're looking for in a different section. It's frustrating.

I know what a planogram team is, I worked in retail. Displays are usually seasonal so yes they "move" depending on the season. That's still not what I consider constant. I shop for my items in the actual aisle instead of shopping by what's on display.

Precisely the reason. There are "teams", for example at Target (Planogram Team) who constantly move displays all year long.

it's done for a purpose, so you have to look in areas of the store you don't normally visit.

Here in Saudi they don't tend to do it, but some products are not in stock for weeks or even months (usually imported stuff) and when they come back in stock they forget where they belong so get moved. Some things are only available in some stores, so I have to look around the complete store every few weeks to see what's come back in stock

I hate when people hit me in the ankle with there cart, pay attention idiots..

Grocer Jack, grocer Jack, get off your back
Go into town, don't let them down, oh no, oh no.

My absolute King Of Annoyances in supermarkets is people who cannot let go of their trolley. They walk somewhere, then see something on the other side of the aisle, and as though superglued to the handle, they cross over, pulling the trolley diagonally behind them, completely blocking everything, oblivious to the queues and grumbles around them.

I'm REALLY lucky in that I pass smaller shops at least twice every day at quiet times. But I still get blocked sometimes.

Are these stores that "constantly " move things around not in the states? The stores I have worked in and shop in don't do this. Each aisle is number and tells you what is in the aisle and might get moved if there is a remodel of the store which doesn't happen that often. CVS where I used to work had a yearly reset but that was more about discontinuing products and adding new ones. Sometimes shelf placement changed.

Laura, I know what you mean about the stairs, I only have 3 also and have to set the groceries on the porch and get up the stairs and put them in the house..

I used to enjoy going food shopping because it was a way for me to get out of the house.. Also always dreamt of doing a service for Seniors and other's that were unable to get out of the house and do their shopping.. Alas now I'm one of those "Seniors" that's unable to go shopping so order them online and have them delivered to my front door.. Then I get whoever is home to put them away..

Do have to mention that putting the groceries away was always a hassle for me..

I agree.. I have a problem with stairs, (even tho its only 3 to get in my house). So I have to set everything on the porch (small area so sometimes it don't all fit), Then carry in it from there (but I can set my walker by the door and set the heavier stuff on it to get it to the counter).
I usually try to pick up the bigger and heavier stuff , like cat food, etc. when my one friend can go with me, she carry's that in for me then.
Last time I ordered the cat food (since I haven't been able to find the one I buy around here lately) and when fed-ex came I asked him to set it inside for me.

All of it is annoying so I do pick up shopping as much as possible.

I agree with the moving things from place to place in the store, They should realize people are creatures of habit.. The store I'm used to going to has moved everything except the produce, meat, and bakery, but I've had to hunt down or ask where them moved some things, to me that is so annoying.. Maybe they should hand you a map when you come in their store..

If you can't agree with me that carrying them into the house, then you need to move in with me and carry them into the house!

Apart from people who manage to find the most inconvenient place place to stand and gossip, I think the them constantly moving the location of things is the most annoying

I put other because I, actually, do enjoy grocery shopping. Are there annoyances? Of course. But, not enough to spoil shopping for me. Not enough cashiers, I wait; shelves too high, I stand on a lower shelf; can't find something, I ask. Happy shopping!

Well, as Banner Blvd. says. "You can learn more about a person by watching them play for an hour than you could learn in a year of conversation!" WELL, without further chat I'd like to direct you all to watch Khatia Buniatishvili of Paris and also Valentina Lisitza of Holland! I do believe in UAP's because these gals are from another galaxy! ENJOY!!

I haven't been for a while, but I still prefer to see them perform at the smaller venues, but most seem to want to do stadiums (which I've never attended). I went to see my son perform in a massive school choir event at the O2 several years ago and couldn't see a thing on stage, so wouldn't go and see a band or comedian perform there.


I'm lucky that I live near Brighton which still is on the list for some performers and only about an hour from London, which still has enough smaller venues.
Brighton has some great comedy venues so hope to get and see some great comedians perform before too long

I would love to see Elvis, Sinatra, Aerosmith, Michael Buble, Sammy Davis Jr. Johnny Mathis, The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Stacy Kent, Tom Brier, Joshua Rifkin....oh, so many. But they are either playing in that big concert stage in the sky, or the ones still alive have priced themselves way out of my reach.

If I had the money I would legit fly to see my favourite band Alta Falls.

Actually I chose 3 hours, but that depends on how much I have to pay to see them.
Because if it is extremely expensive I won’t go at all.

Saw Aerosmith in Vegas. It was fun watching 74 year old Steven Tyler climb a ramp while singing Walk This Way. We placed bets on if he would pass out and slide back down.

Drove an hour and a half or so into Atlanta to see Sheryl Crow, Lionel Richie, and Billy Joel. Spent the night in Atlanta. Well worth it.

I did a weekend trip to see Sting on the Soul Cages tour, and to see Simple Minds on the Jeweller To The Stars tour. Oh, and Thea Gilmore for my brother's 40th birthday. About 6 hours travelling and overnight stays. Incredible concerts in different ways. For "local" concerts, I've travelled a couple of hours several times. Live is always good!

Unfortunately most of my favourites no longer satisfy the "alive" condition.
Most of those who still breathe should have stopped performing long ago.

Boulez conducting Varèse' "Amériques" at the RFH.

Fortunately I live just outside London so usually I can see my favourites every time they tour as they will be performing somewhere in town.

There have been a few occasions where I've stayed overnight though, either due to the concert finishing too late to catch the last train or because I've made prior arrangements to stay with family.

maxda is like

Amen Callie! I will live by that and will also die by that!!

yes i drove ole bill hickman off the road! He did not look so calm and rational at that time!!! I was a kid then! I LOVE FORD MUSTANGS AND TO THIS DAY STILL OWN ONE!!

Now if you want to talk about a car try the Gordon-Keeble.

I suspect the poll was written by a Brit as it has Vauxhall on it which are only available in the UK (Opel, Saturn, Holden, GM elsewhere)

I've been driving in my car
It's not quite a Jaguar.

50 years ago Cadillac was the symbol of luxury and best car. It's still made today, but it doesn't even make the list.

Mercedes Benz gets my vote

I did not find the poll you are referring to. Please PM me if you have an issue like this in the future so we can discuss it. Thank you

I drive a 1930 Ford Town Sedan. How many modern cars do y'all suppose will still be around after 92 years. haha.

"I know nothing" is right; when I played "car lot" in elementary school PE once, I thought "car lot" was a kind of car, so I chose it.

I've ridden in most of those makers' cars via Lyft and my favorite by far is a Lexus. I don't care much for Kia as the cars do not feel solid on the ground. Honda has a very solid feel. I've been in a Tesla and while it's fast it looks stripped down inside, no dashboard, just a shelf and a monitor. Riding in a Lincoln is nice still. Nissan SUVs are fun with a great interior and dashboard. I miss my 5 speed Mazda Protege from the 90s.

do what the arabs do, put it on the dashboard

Any model as long as it's manual gears. With automatic my left foot gets bored.

I own a 1999 626.
I'll pick Rolls Royce though for the top.

What?!?!?! NO Mazda?

where was this poll?

Leave it to a reality TV show to pull out all the stops!

LOL I just noticed it, I am seeing double

Hmmm, something looks off there.

I can't pick just one. I love musicals, comedy, romance, detective, drama...for TV, I also like all the old shows like Alice, Benson, Bewitched, Vegas, Las Vegas, The Waltons, 7th Heaven, Eight is Enough, Everybody Loves Raymond, the old game shows like Hollywood Squares, The Match Game, Family Feud, Child's Play, High Rollers, Jeopardy (it's still on)

I chose Other.

But for favorite type of movie I would say Thriller.
Like snake, an croc, an Destructive movies with earthquakes an tornadoes.

But for TV I like a lot of the old tv show like:
Emergency, Petticoat Junction, Gomer Pyle,
Land of the Giants, Mission impossible, Star Trek

For TV I like documentaries, but films it's pretty varied, adventure and some romance mostly.

No idea what EMS is ;;puzzledd;;
Having reality down twice won't help

A tossup for me: The Godfather or Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

Suspense thrillers are the best, imo

I too chose Mexico City D.F. I've been there and would love to return. Teotihuacan is nearby.

what's not safe about any of those places?

I would love to visit Paris, London, Switzerland, Rome, Belgium lots of places, but the way the world is today, I would never go anywhere. It just isn't safe.

i too was shocked to see it at the top of the list - it can't be due to financial constraints because "would like" should preclude that, that's the reason i'm unlikely to visit but i sure would like to - SO MANY places NOT on the list, like Istanbul and even Tehran !

also, Prague should be on that list.

I would love to visit Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, as my grandparents and in'laws were born there.. Have relatives and friends that go there even till this day and the country is so beautiful.

I'm amazed at the number of people who don't want to see any of them, how unadventurous.
I've been to a few of them and many not on the list. I too would like like to visit more Eastern European capitals and East Asian ones

I have seen a lot of those on the list, and some who aren't. I'd like to visit some of the eastern Europe countries. My kids visited Budapest and Prague and came back enchanted.

I will be visiting two capital cities in December: Tokyo and Taipei.

Mexico City for me, too. It is, afterall, sinking!

I would like to visit many on that list. I could only vote 1 so Mexico City it is.

I would like to visit London

Paris. Bien sûr.

I would like to visit Sacramento...

As far as I know it is a Hawaiian fish and it tastes icky

Fish Fingers

Thats good as well Jools.🐬

I've never tried Tilapia, but there again they're not native to our parts, so I doubt we sell them here. I do like swordfish, halibut, cod and haddock though.

I disagree, haddock is much better

There's nothing like cod for fish and chips! MmmmHmmm

Ok good! I love Long John Silvers fish lol

Vickie I gather Linda Sue answered your question.. I love Long John Silvers myself, and too bad there are none around where I live because I'd be eating there every day..

I tried Talipia only one time and the taste just didn't agree with me.. I've been eating fish since I was knee high to a grasshopper and that's the only "fish" I refuse to eat.. My theory is CHEAP IS CHEAP!!!!

Come one, come all! Get your selected tokens here.

To add to the info above...
You can still get your choice even if the poll isn't posted in November! We've never done that!
I hope we can keep up with all of the great ideas you have!

Yuck! I don’t like salmon in any form—AT ALL! I had tuna last night.

ladyvic - If you google "What kind of fish does Long John Silver use?", the answer is - wild-caught Alaskan Cod.

I did'nt know that Ginny! Thanks for the info.
Is that what kind of fish Long John Silvers uses?

I'll eat any other fish cooked or raw.. Love my SUSHI!!!!


Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine, and tilapiine tribes... This is why I refuse to eat it..

Vendance.

Lox is raw salmon

Tilapia is inexpensive and delicious cooked well.

Keep the fish, I won't insist for a share

Hake is the best in my eyes

I voted other. There are several that I like. The only others I like that are not on the list: lox and gefilte fish.

Out of those listed I choose tuna, but also like swordfish, snapper and haddock.
I think the best fish I've ever had is parrot fish, followed by marlin and kingfish

Perhaps most of you haven’t tasted walleye, but if you get the chance, take it!

I mean, technically I prefer "Fall Candy Day", but whatever.

When I'm home, my son-in-law decorates the yard, and two sides of the house and I do inside most of the rooms wall to wall, floor to ceiling decorations. It looks like a Halloween shop in every room. Happy faces on Jack-0-lanters, scarecrows, witches, you name it.
I paint little Halloween pictures on my fingernails and toenails too, and have Halloween pants and tops. That's about it. No parties.
I also make cute Halloween snacks for all the groups I belong to, like bingo, canasta, bunco, zonk, yahtzee, etc. but this year is bleak. I'm over 100 miles from home taking care of my 96 yr. old uncle in Hospice.

Guy Fawkes celebrations

The Yankees in the World Series.

Oh well.

Humm? Well I’m looking at everything that I should have done already, all the things that need put away before snow flies. This time of year I’m looking at my kness cause I’m always caught with my pants down! Not my favorite time of year! And it’s getting horribly cold, and that I really don’t like. And I’m living in the Pacific Northwest.

Several:
There are several birthdays I look forward to.
But I usually like to buy candy for halloween, and if no one come by,
that just leaves more for me.
But I really look forward to thanksgiving in November.
Because I love cornbread sage dressing.
But unfortunately I am not a good cook.

Rock n Roll 101 too. We miss Abby Normal.

Now this is a difficult Poll…….Impossible to pick just one…wish that: ‘More than one’ was an option.

I can even feel sorry for tonight's game.

JerNYC and golfnutruf and Sir Gilmour of the Gold Table are knowledge and sometimes even friendly.

Switch is similar to the card game Uno, I think 🤔

I neglected to read the entire question. I elided "non - GoldToken".

But even more dreary and with less player agency and ridiculous timelines... >_>

That's the one! Absolutely love it, though it can get stalematish at high levels without risks taken

I know of a board game called Jungle. The figures in the game all are animals. The weakest animal is the mouse; the strongest, the elephant. The object of the game is to get one of your animals into your opponent's lair.

What kind of game is Jungle?

I marked Guess Who down, which is a pretty fun game, but one that I absolutely love is Jungle. I even purchased my own set of it.

Disappointed it wasn't named here as gyan chauper/pachisi. Would have been easily recognizable then. Wait, recognisable.

Snakes and ladders originated as part of a family of Indian dice board games that included gyan chauper and pachisi (known in English as Ludo and Parcheesi). It made its way to England and was sold as "Snakes and Ladders", then the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders.

--Wikepedia

What's the generic name?

The most widely known edition of snakes and ladders in the United States is Chutes and Ladders, released by Milton Bradley in 1943.

So it's a trade name rather than generic

{ Image: i.postimg.cc/fyWHdYPh/chutes-and-ladders.jpg }

American maybe?

why is it chutes and not snakes & ladders?

You could argue that Moebius Moguls resembles Monopoly.

is my favorite board game. I chose "Life" as it was my favorite of the list.

I make something similar and call it Cowboy Stew

...anyone say that they put in some sort of a ringed sausage meat such as farmers sausage or ukrainian sausage or garlic sausage.
I just made a batch of chile con carne a couple of weeks ago and cut up some kolbassa to add to it. I call it my chuck wagon chile.
It's won multiple awards in my house. Lol

I use ground hamburger, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, kidney beans, pinto beans and spaghetti sauce, chili powder. Yum Yum!

Kidney beans

Same here!

Surely there is another normal name, like kidney or pinto or black. By the way, I prefer my chili WITHOUT beans!

absolutely here is my recipe
[ CookBook: Chilli con (sin) carne ]

Any kind of beans have an adverse effect on my stomach so never put beans in my chili.

And there’s some who feel the hotter the peppers the better.

used with cooked ground meat, tomatoes & chili sauce that has herbs onions a bit of jalapeno pepper small chopped pieces

Nothing in my chili. Like it with cheese toast on the side (slice of bread with thick slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese under the broiler until toasted and melted)

Says Robyn facetiously...

I'm a widower so make 3 gallons of chili at a time and freeze a bunch of meal sized containers of it. I make it from scratch! Lots more to it than the beans, but the question was about the beans: Use a small can each of black beans, of red kidney beans, and of white navy beans.

Sour Cream and cheese. Yummy!

Chow Chow? You put my late dog on chilly beans?

I put chili in my chili beans and eat with crackers.

They did!

tortilla chips, surprised it wasn't listed

That' actually mine, too. I blend the peppers into the chili, add meat, some beans, and corn. I use that to top Fritos, cheese, and a little sour cream.

I put Fritos and Cheese

Seventy six trombones led the big parade.

I have 76 at present - but it's over 100 when the Olympics are in full swing.

Many a tear has to fall but it's all in the game.

and those who sign up to tournies they have no intention of playing then resign or timeout

but over 50% of the poll have less than 50 games

Please do and hurry up,

The people who answer the surveys and especially those who comment tend to be more active on this site.

It distorts the results away from the people who play few games and are here less often.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my 114 games.

Hope that you feel better soon, Aprildawn. You will be in my prayers.

I have been sick, so I play whwn I can.

I try to keep up with my games. I don't want to make the others i play wait.

My favorite part of playing those who have hundreds of games is knowing they will move in the last couple hours and that the tournament I'm in will not last a month or two, but 6 months to a year. The joy.

Me 6th 😁

Me 5

Me four

Same here. I like to be able to move in all my games at least once a day and still make reasonable decisions.

I try to keep mine under 100

I like my games few - the Olympics really stresses me out!

Me three

Me too!

As many as possible - I love to play for hours on end while watching my tv shows

I want to be teacher's pet.

Ah, thanks for explaining. Hopefully, piggies will get another vote to get them to 1%.

I think if less than 0.5% it gets rounded down

It is

I think there are technical difficulties with the poll, since Guinea pig is at 0% and I voted for that option(of course), so it ought to be 1% now.

Why isn’t cow in the list 🤣

I have.

my kid had a hedgehog for three years, what a wonderful pet. was clean (poo and pee in corner on paper) was quiet, no noise at all apart from walking on wheel for an hour each night, would eat any protein (eggs, meat, chicken, worms, bugs), slept alot of the time apart from evening and late night when we wanted to pet it anyhow, slept all school hours, and was friendly when socialized and handled properly. was a much better pet than any hamsters or smaller things we had before. would highly recommend for any kid older than 10 who is able to handle it carefully and calmly. if handled rough or not socialized properly, would not be a good pet, would be skittish and shy .

My Pomeranian dogs

I'M CRAZY ABOUT CHICKEN

Yuuummmmmmm. Mak'en my tumble, grumble

The 8 quart concoction contains -
Chicken
Rice
Tomatoes
Onion
Garlic
Mushrooms
One Serrano or Jalapeño pepper
Green peppers
Chopped stuffed green olives
Salt, pepper, paprika, chicken bouillon and parsley.

I can it of course in glass jars.

I'm with you...Chicken Marsala is my own favorite and I forgot to put it on the list!

Chicken Kiev

How can chicken soup not be a choice?

Chicken Licken and Hen Len.

or should that now be chicken Kyiv?

Some very popular dishes:

Tandoori Chicken
Chicken Tikka (British favourite)
Chicken Biryani
Chicken 65 (very popular bar food)
Chicken Momos

Off the skewers is my favourite

Like chicken and Bisquick dumplings and, also, NO-PEEK Chicken. Love my fried chicken.

Depends on mood, budget and availability, but I'm almost always up for chicken marsala.

Mrs. Rabbit's chicken. Even after 41 years she won't tell me what she does.

I believe it's spelled Chicken Adobo, not Odobo. Delicious!

odd choice of dishes, no idea what some of them are.
My favourite would be be an Indian or Italian pasta dish

There’s nothing like a good BBQ Chicken breast 🥰
