I feel so sorry for the mother of the groom. Someone should have loaned her some sparkly stuff!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I never understood why it was considered a walk of shame. Shouldn't it be the Strut of I Got Some?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They should call it the Walk of Stop Assuming We Had Sex, Maybe We Talked and Then Had Ice Cream; Ice Cream Is Awesome Too and Don't Lie, You Want Some Right Now.

That works.
Heaven knows I was always smirking when I strolled into the dorm on a Sunday morning while wearing the clothes I left in Saturday night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Simone Smith visited a gourmet supermarket in Berlin and found an American section among the ethnic foods! Now stop and guess what she found there before you see it. I imagine they stock it with “comfort foods” requested by Americans living in Germany
Huh. Hershey's Syrup is American ethic food. Also baking mix, V-8, Jim Bean, Jack Daniels, Swiss Miss, Newman's Own salad dressing... and Mac and Cheese!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I went to China for 3 months and ate the local food. Much of the time, there weren't any other options. I ate street food. I ate food cooked in people's homes. As far as I can tell, everyone in China is a great cook.
I ate little to no meat while I was there as I didn't trust it to be refrigerated, etc, and I avoided eating raw foods. I never had any problems.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I eat a lot of food I probably shouldn`t and I get sick sometimes but it`s usually worth it. I ate snake off the tree in the Venezuelan jungle--held it so the locals could skin it. I ate sheep intestine grilled just off the sheep on Navajo land. I mean, someone offered it to me, so I ate it, I didn`t really fuss about it. And I`ve eaten chain restaurants in odd places. I love Hawaiian McDonalds because you can get eggs and portuguese sausage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jamaican water is typically supposed to be very good quality, but you can't fight incompatible flora.

YES, DO THIS. I would like a detailed report, please.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've seen several UK people on cooking forums recommend this site [link] as a good place to get American foods not usually available in the UK. The first time I started clicking around that site, my reaction was, "It's an entire website of all the foods that my mother wouldn't let me eat as a kid!"
They've also got a special section for ingredients used in Nigella Lawson's cookbooks.
