In this time of Covid-19 isolation, I have been going out and buying a roasted chicken once a week and have been making toasted roast chicken and mayo sandwiches for lunch or dinner every day. But I had not considered makinbg stuffing to go with them. That sounds like a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 27 minutes ago, Maithanet said: It's very likely that the per capita death rate in the UK will be higher than the US, while Germany will almost assuredly be lower. So if you're trying to make an argument about "Country X didn't mismanage things, look at country Y!", then you'll probably have options whichever side of the argument you fall on. Anyone who is really paying attention can see that Trump has totally bungled the COVID response, and whether the UK or Brazil may be bungling it even worse is not terribly relevant. Per capita death rate really isn't a good way to be looking at this anyway. Unless effectively the entire population is catching the disease (not entirely out of the realms of possibility but we aren't there yet) it doesn't really tell you a lot. Outbreaks don't happen per capita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tijgy Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 In Belgium we are already waiting almost 1,5 hours to the press conference where we will be hearing our how-we-will-get-out-of-the-lockdown strategy. It will still take some time because first we have to see the finale of the two very popular Flemish soaps! Jeey! It takes also some time to make the powerpoint.

It is amazing to me that you managed to have bad food and still didn't manage the character building part. Still, even then, fish and chips, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, steak and kidney pudding, Findus crispy pancakes, cockles and vinegar, the Balti curry. You're missing out.

I've eaten curry in other countries, it sucks ass. It kinda amazed me how hard it was to find decent Indian food in London/ Manchester ( And yes, I went to Dishoom or whatever) when I was over there for 6 months. To be fair, what I did find was better than anything I had in the US ( but tbf, I was in Michigan) So many places that serve Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi food, or 'curries' as people call them ( we don't) leave a lot to be desired - which is weird given the significant South Asian population in a lot of these places.

Paxter Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yeah I haven't yet had a great curry in the UK. It's probably a bit like pizzerias in Italy...you have to do your homework a little bit to find the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
