I'm reasonably convinced that the only reason the British Empire existed was to go out and conquer other peoples just to bring back their cuisines. Once you could get good take-out (take-away?), no more Empire.

I have become a fan of Portuguese cuisine myself. Never thought that would happen, but it pays to have Portuguese friends who can cook! An American Southern cooking is teh awesome as well. French? Not so much.

![]() I don't miss TV, and there's honestly not much I watch, but I'll be honest: I wouldn't mind a subscription to a sports channel(s). I love me some tennis and rarely get to watch it unless I go out of my way. I might try and catch the finals if they don't clash with MrMacologist's football...
