Food and drink

I wasn't sure whether to say bell peppers or capsicum. We just call them peppers but didn't want to confuse them with chillies.

For future reference we say courgettes for zuchini and aubergine for egg plant.
Divided by a common language indeed.

This actually happens in the U.S. as well, because we have regional differences in what we call some ingredients (and other things as well). Combine it with regional accents and changes in food references coming from someone's mother country to the U.S. and things can get confusing.

One thing I noticed when chatting with an American chef in Marrakesh was that he pronounced fillet the French way with a silent T where as we Anglocise it and don't.

I did not know that. And I'm insanely jealous you visited Marrakesh.

Great place and I'm not usually a fan of cities. I did a tour which took in Fez,Cassablanca, Tangiers the Rif mountains and much more. My freind and I visited all the medinas ( medeaval town centres ) we could.
I'd like to go back some day.
Great food too.

Just remembered something funny which happened when I was in Egypt.
I was having a smoke when this American dude came and asked me if he could "bum a Camel" I replied "probably but you will have to pay it's owner for the pleasure" his blank face was priceless.
Be like me going to the States and asking if I could smoke a fag.

I made a scrambled egg sandwich a few minutes ago. Had a small glass of caffeine free coke (my wife is pregnant, I'm not a wuss!) with it. Now I'm drinking my first dose of black coffee.

Congrats, man! You got others, or is this your first? My happiest moments are throwing babies in the air like I'm training them for the trapeze.

This is my second. Our first daughter turned two this summer. "Proud Emoji"

Congrats. We stopped at one. We figured we could do one at our best and it would be all downhill from there.

It's a whole nuther level when they have a sibling around the same age. Our first four are in pairs, so we'll probably have another to even out the teams. Can't have the only girl all by herself.
