I didn't think I'd laugh but I did. Laughing is good.

I'm surprised they didn't have this one:

Ambergris

I'm sorry, but what's the correct spelling for clammory, and what is it? It looks like onion rings.

looks a lot like onion rings tastes even better

calamari?

not much for scale in the picture

The correct spelling is "qcomber", not "comber".

Sorry, I didn't laugh. It's Monday Morning here. It takes a lot to make me laugh on a Monday Morning.

Yes, yes, I did. Out loud, even.

I tried not to. But failed by the time I got to the Ladus. Snortling damply at the Aspergers.

Unlike I.B., it doesn't take much to make me laugh on a Monday Morning. It does, however, require something funny. So no, I didn't laugh.

That other people spell the names of foods differently is a matter of laughter, I don't think so. You just need to take off your ethnocentric specs to see the world as in is, a hodgepodge of differences, including the naming of things. What makes me laugh is that people find humor in this.

I thought it was an pseudo-elaborate setup
for the Aspergers entry, which elicited merely
a smirk.




Dwest's entry made me giggle a bit, though.

At this... I laughed!

Please tell me the culture that serves "Peesuh Peezah". I wanna plan a vacation there because I think I'll enjoy myself. At the very least, I might learn something.

"Peesuh Peezah" are obviously different phonetic spellings of pizza. People hear words and do their best to spell it, because, believe it or not, not everyone in the world has spell check on their laptop. The culture that serves "Peesuh Peezah" could be any culture where our Italian "pizza" has been heard of or seen on TV but where it is not part of the traditional foods of that country. I don't find humor in this, nothing like "ha, ha, ignorant people don't even know how to spell pizza". Instead, I find it interesting and a little bit refreshing.

Oh Doug, I was not making fun of anyone's ignorance. I'm the grandchild of immigrants from Czechoslovakia and my friends grandparents were all from Eastern European countries. We had many laughs trying to pronounce each others' and our own exotic foods. There are many foods we have no idea how to spell or can no longer pronounce correctly and some foods that take me a few attempts to pronounce somewhat correctly. All of the recipes in my family were passed down word of mouth. Grandpap could read, I'm not sure Grandma could. It was funny to me to see the shoe on the other foot.
