question for the british folk

<Snipped quote by Sherlock Holmes>

Currently eating a grilled chopstick, am I doing this right? I feel like I'm getting a hell of a lot of fiber if nothing else.

@ClocktowerEchos

Just make sure you chew very well, otherwise things are going to get unpleasant rather quickly for you.

question for the british folk

There is no way to 'cook' lahmacun yourself. It's kebab and that kind of meat needs special equipment.

@Hank

Um, actually, all you need is a skewer and a grill to make a kebab -- not too complicated.

question for the british folk

there is no proper

@Doivid

Only Zuul.

question for the british folk

Wronger than wrong.

It is pronounced La-mu-joon. Alternatively Lah-ma-tchoon, depending on the accent/dialect of Turkish.

@JDolan

FML.

Possible to get a topic pinned?

@Sherlock Holmes Thank you ever so much. Hopefully I will get some more time to work on it later today and tomorrow. Was hoping to keep it open so that people would link in new ones for me to add as they come in, if that is alright. Would keep the mods from having to lock and unlock it as more needed to be added. Again, if that is alright with you.

@Lady Amalthea

That's fine if that's how you'd like to do it. No objections from my end.

Pinned. Let me know when you're done editing, then I'll lock it to keep anyone from cluttering it up with posts.

This is nicely compiled. Let me see what I can do.

Awwwh. I was actually thinking of taking a trip in that direction this year, maybe in the fall. NY and Boston, hopefully.

@Taaj

You've got a place to stay if you make the trip. No worries. Fall in Manhattan is pretty.

Spamily dinner time at Carmine's? I'm down.

@Taaj

Anytime. I've got a sofa bed for guests and you've got an open invitation.

question for the british folk

@Sherlock Holmes Yes, very much wrong. It's Turkish, though, so it contains sounds that English doesn't use at all.

@Hank

Now I need to get you on Skype at some point and make you say it so I can hear it correctly. Or you just need to come to New York. There's this fabulous restaurant near my place called Carmine's -- best meat lasagna I've ever had. (And they serve food family style, so the plates of it are HUGE, meant to serve 4-6 people at a time.)
