Crisps 

Just finished watching this week's episode of Wife Swap and there was this short clip of one of the swapped wives that made a packed lunch for the children; and put crisps in their lunchbox. This is something that surprised me back when I was eleven and on a language course in the south of England. We were always given packets of crisps when we were going on an outing, as well as a small Kit Kat. We were sometimes served crisps instead of potatoes or chips when we were having supper. This was normal for the school we stayed at, and I've later learned that this is quite common throughout the country. Do you not know how unhealthy it is? Have you never picked up a packet and read the list of ingredients? Have you ever heard of good nutrition?

Besides, English crisps have got the funniest flavours. Prawn cocktail??? Who the f thought "ooh, they'll like this"? Norwegian cuisine isn't exactly reknowned for its exquisite look and taste, but I understand why the English kitchen is the laughing-stock of Europe.

Current track: Nothing.

LOL, have you got any idea how long it took me to click on that "publish this" button? Phew! One must have a mature and unbiased look on things. Something I'm not too known for. ;-)

You better not say that too often, you might end up being confused for an American ;)
