And maybe we were already full but have to say that it was the least tasty of the dishes we ate at that restaurant.

Do drink though. In fact, I sometimes think that if I don't do that when watching Arsenal, I might actually have a heart attack and die! ;(YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-82290564089770223212009-03-19T07:39:00.000+08:002009-03-19T07:39:00.000+08:00"though you don't need a "big game" to distract! ;..."though you don't need a "big game" to distract! ;b"<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of a game like Arsenal v.

Terrific for watching the big game.<BR/><BR/>In the United States a very rough equivalent might be pig's feet which can be served barbequed, pickled (especially in bars) or fried. They are considered downscale--making use of a part of the animal that takes a lot of work to prepare and that is often ignored--but can be delicious. <BR/><BR/>The photographs make me ewafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339565669634286677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-27055011021007828012009-03-18T06:29:00.000+08:002009-03-18T06:29:00.000+08:00ytsl,Everything looks so good.
