    The smugness will last until your daughter tells you a Big Mac is delicious.

      I have a photo of my grandkids, about 2 and 4 chasing my wife down the hall demanding an olive. They also have the habit of raiding the cheese bin for the "special" cheese, the stinky one and sharp cheddars. They have never eaten at a Muckers but then thay haven't started school yet either :sigh: Start em young, teach them right to enjoy good food, worked for us and our kids!

      Cool, good one! My daughter also loves green olives. She isnt terribly adventurous with food, but she loves vinegar so olives, salad dressing, skate in brown butter, all that kind of thing she loves.

        :laugh: I used to like Bud Light, but my preference these days is Guinness :-\

        If you like Guinness, you should try Marston's Oyster Stout[^].* If that's not what Guinness should be, I'm a pastafarian. * No, it doesn't actually contain oysters. You have to buy them separately.

          Well, that is the UK. Actually these lamb shanks aren't too bad themselves, just the sauce that is wrong.

          WRONG! POLICE! QUICK, PERSON TALKING TREASON AND HERESY! :) Mint sauce is great with lamb. Actually, think of it as a cut down salsa verde. Just add some parsley and anchovy and olive oil to mint sauce and you have a salsa verde which like mint sauce goes well with all sorts of things.

          Don't get me wrong - I like mint. I can get away with mint jelly. A mint raita is nice. Fresh pineapple dipped in mint sugar is awesome. But that runny green diarrhoea they call mint sauce? Non!

            I'd just like to point out Budweiser is most definitely NOT a beer. It is yellow-ish water in a bottle or can purporting to be such. The same can be said for Miller. :)

              I was having dinner with my wife, daughter, and mother on a recent trip to the UK (from France). My mother had prepared some boil in the bag lamb shanks (the end of the leg) which had a sweet minty sauce (the British like sweet sauces) and my daughter says: "It is too sweet, it needs some red wine or something." I could have hugged her! To have brought her up in a country that appreciates food, cooking restaurant quality food for my family every night, red wine and orange sauces to go with duck, scallop bisque sauces to go with salmon etc, and my 8 year old daughter has such educated taste buds she can identify an unbalanced sauce and suggest cure! What an epicure! What a gourmet! My 8 year old! :) She is a star act, she REALLY knows her food!

                  Specifically the States, a certain 10 year-old, who I will leave nameless bought a King Sized Twix candy bar. (For those that don't know it contains four large pieces). He dropped the first piece on the ground in a wet parking lot and then picked it up and said, "Five Second Rule". I stopped him and asked, "Are you really going to do that?", He said, "Why not" and plopped it in his mouth. I suppose, our taste buds on this side of the pond are less sophisticated.

                  Some people eat tar-tar style, your son just cut the process in half. (American efficiency.) PS I'm from the states, I'm not flambee-ing us.

                    I don't drink, but every once in a while I have tasted wine out of curiosity (like, what's the big deal why does every one drink it?) and it is nasty. Probably due to the fact that the only sips I took were from under $20 bottles. Recently I had an opportunity to taste some ice wine, that stuff is good. So, yeah, there is a difference but I think most just drink it to be different from beer swilling dolts. Nascar is to beer as ? is to wine. (I think you will find it doesn't matter :) )

                    Personally, I go by taste. Quite often, I find in-a-box tastes better to me than an expensive bottle. Of course I don't pass myself off as an expert on wine either. That's what is funny about him praising the wine, since it would taste completely different to him if he saw it come out of a box.
