true... we have one at a nearby mall... maybe there aren't any in NY.

last night i enjoyed so of my amah's hommade dumpilings, they were soooooo good, i like to dip them in sweet & sour sauce!!!

well i hope you get your Japanese fix sooner than you expect! ^_^

colorful comment about your mommy. trust me i didn't take her picture behind your back

I'm going to try and sweet talk my husband into taking me to Ichi-Ban this weekend...Glasgow City Centre is not the best place to drive on any day, in fact it's downright hellish...heavy traffic, narrow roads and lack of parking spaces.

Yeah...I'm always teasing my mother...she's used to it. She knows by now that it's her fault that I'm short, have big hips and no boobs. :mrgreen:

Speaking on the subject of food...American food...I miss Jack in the Box. They had the best shakes and burgers.

what's wrong with trans fats and salted grease.

Typical Scots diet, what with all the chip fat consumed, no wonder they say the Scots have the highest rate of heart disease in the world. They love everything fried - fried pizza, fried cod, fried chips with lots of cheese or curry sauce, fried mars bars, you name it.

Heh. I've heard that. I was born in Scotland, my parents are (obviously) Scots, but they don't really eat much fried at all.....

yeah jack in the box is a west coast chain....:)

Hiya...Anime Dad...what part of Scotland were you born? My husband was born in Elderslie but grew up in Ferguslie, rough area. I had never heard of fried pizza until I came here. I've never tried it yet, even tho I've been here for almost 4 years. There isn't much choice of take-away here in Scotland...only 3 - Indian, Chippy and Chinese. That's all. It's the same question everytime we want to get a take-away - so, what'll it be tonight...Indian, Chinese of Chippy? I got spoiled for choices when I lived in Hawaii. Just recently, an Indian guy who owns a take-away, created a fried Donner Kabob (strips of lamb cuts in a pitta bread with lots of sauce, onions and salad)...which has become very popular.

Tu-triky...

When my husband moved to Hawaii, he got hooked on Jack in the Box. It was his favourite place to eat. When we got ready to move, he even wrote to one of the head offices asking of they would ever consider setting up a chain in Scotland. Unfortunately, the answer was no for various reasons I can't remember.

Hi ganmo :)

I was born in Helensburgh, and apparently lived in a little town called Arrochar. I say apparently because I came here to Australia when I was 4. I don't really remember Scotland at all. Although I still have a LOT of relatives there - my dad was the youngest of 11. His oldest sister recently turned 100 :)
