"I mentioned the war once but I think I got away with it."always reminds me of Fawlty towers, to paraphrase - " careful how you drive dear, don't drive over any landmines"

Apologies for multi replies (on the whisky), but also thought of :Yeah, but those are COMPLETELY different use cases.
My paternal step-grandfather, a quite non-jovial fellow, always called cool whip, "sheep dip". He also said things like pizza "looks like they scraped the top off the garbage can" and ten speed bicycles "that's just ten more things that can go wrong with them". Occasionally he would pick a fight with my grandmother about how many resealable plastic bowls she had in the cupboard, which would usually end with her saying "I'm going to the post office" as she was walking out the door and him calling out behind her "don't forget your broom!"
Most American's think curry is a very hot Thai dish that comes in yellow, red or green, not the real curry.
like the UK, the US has a very large immigrant population, it just depends on how far back you go.I'd venture that most americans dont know what curry is at all. it's not a widespread dish outside of areas with large immigrant populations.

- very 70s
"I mentioned the war once but I think I got away with it."
They sync perfectly - freaky (man)
Here in little old Vermont, we're quite cosmopolitan. When I speak of "most American's" I mean "everyone outside of Vermont".I'd venture that most americans dont know what curry is at all. it's not a widespread dish outside of areas with large immigrant populations.
The rest of their album is oddly 70s - sort of Prog rock / Jazz - I think it may involve flute
there are plenty and it's a constant flow as well. but it's limited to certain localities. The ethnic food mixing tends to happen on the coastlines and even then, mostly in urban areas.like the UK, the US has a very large immigrant population, it just depends on how far back you go.
The UK has a permanent flow - which makes our culture / food interesting - the US I would have thought is similar - but obviously spread over a larger landmass.
EDIT: After all - after Pangaea, we are all immigrants of some kind or other
Got to admit I’ve never heard either song.The rest of their album is oddly 70s - sort of Prog rock / Jazz - I think it may involve flute
Certainly has lyrics such as 'come to the sabbath cos satan's there', and a song about sacrifice - ah the 70s - marvellous (sadly I was a bit young, born 67), but remember a lot of it / look back on it with fondness / wonder / amazement
I would have thought Mexican/Tex Mex was pretty much country wide?there are plenty and it's a constant flow as well. but it's limited to certain localities. The ethnic food mixing tends to happen on the coastlines and even then, mostly in urban areas.
it takes longer to mix in further. and in places where there isn't a massive eating out culture (make your own food) ...that migration of foods may never happen.
Oh well, you've proven you are probably a youngish male... Thinking size is important.it's probably hard for you to imagine but the US is very big
yes, fair enough. In the UK, apart from the Invasion in 1066, the rest was just slow influx of people. In the 60, we had another large influx of people which Brought over another load of cultures / food etc. Personally I think it makes the UK excellent /more interesting.there are plenty and it's a constant flow as well. but it's limited to certain localities.

not unless you count taco bell as mexican/tex mex. Which i dont think anyone seriously does.I would have thought Mexican/Tex Mex was pretty much country wide?
You wouldn't be from California too, would you?
surely you want food to adapt and change, otherwise we wouldn't have pizza (no tomatoes, chillis, pepper etc), and most other foodstuffs of the world ?not unless you count taco bell as mexican/tex mex. Which i dont think anyone seriously does.
to keep a food from adapting and changing you need a fairly large group from the country of origin that is somewhat isolated (or they're a majority). it's one thing to have a presence in a city ...it's a much different thing to be around in a smaller town with people from different backgrounds that already have their own foods and no real interest in changing.
