Buffistas

You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Discussion Threads

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

So, what's the American dish that unAmericans utterly fail to get the point of?

Oh my God, where do I start? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Oreos? (They taste like charcoal.) Crackers with soup?

Kate, I am most certainly taping Buffy and Angel, so you and I and Plasmo will in one way or another manage to get together for a viewing (among other fun things of course!)

I've never heard of Spearmint Milk in my life. It must be a Perth thing. It sounds disgusting.

OK, though I don't eat them often, I do love PB&J. And don't get how you can not get it. But...crackers with soup? What's not to understand about that???

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oreos?

The point of Oreos is not the taste. The point is twisting them.

Australians don't eat crackers with soup? Chowder just seems un-chowdery to me without them.

I've tried banana milk before. It was OK, but I couldn't figure out where it fit into a meal or snack. It was too sweet to drink with the meal, but it seemed weird with dessert, and I can't see having it as a snack. But my eating habits with respect to sweet foods tend to be very odd, so probably no one else would have this problem.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I maintain that the worst recipe of all time, anywhere on earth, is the "salad" made of lemon jello and corned beef.

That sounds truly vile. Here's one to match it, urk for urk: banana & anchovy salad. It came from a recipe book for bananas. Take banana, cut in half lengthwise. Put anchony on banana. Serve.

We eat bread with soup.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What do you eat crackers with?

Cheese, like normal people!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've never heard of Spearmint Milk in my life. It must be a Perth thing. It sounds disgusting.

I would probably try it, because I do like spearmint. In Rhode Island, the flavored milk product of choice is coffee milk.

Tomato soup with Ritz crackers? Heaven.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mmm... coffee milk.
