Post by Christopher JohnsonPost by Dylan NicholsonI'd take it over any other condiment any day. Especially good on sausage
rolls (=AmE...um...anybody?).
No such thing in AmE, I'm afraid.
He was referring to sausage buns, not that all Americans call them
that.
Rubbish, Charles. A sausage roll is made from *pastry*
and so could not be (correctly) referred to as a 'bun',
which, by definition, is made from bread. You appear
not to know what a 'sausage roll' is, Charles.
I know better than you, being infinitely older, thus having time to
consume an infinitely greater number of both sausages and hamburgers,
but many Americans don't call sausage rolls by that term. That was the
point, since you missed it. 'Hot dog buns', if AUEers are right, is
preferred over 'hot dog rolls' in America: something you'd know if you
were paying attention a few months back.
You do know, I hope, than the bread that often encloses a hamburger
patty is correctly termed a *bun*, made from 'pastry', as you put it.
Post by Christopher JohnsonPost by Charles RiggsPost by Christopher JohnsonThey (Americans) don't know
what they're missing, do they? Oh well, you can't miss what
you've never known, I suppose! :-)
You don't know what you're missing either, unless you've been at least
as far east as Germany.
I've been to many European countries, including Poland.
Sorry. Since you keep telling us how your parents restrict your
movements, I didn't realise P and M let you out of the backyard. I
hope you enjoyed Poland more than you have America.
Post by Christopher JohnsonPost by Charles RiggsYour snide remark about Americans fell
especially short this time.
I'm sorry you found my remark to be snide, Charles. It
certainly was not intended to be so. Nevertheless, I
have re-read what I wrote but I found there to be nothing
snide about it whatsoever.
ObAUE: please check this out:
1 in the COD -- 'derogatory or mocking in an indirect way.'
You don't frequently knock Americans, especially their English? Same
old, same old, was all I was saying.
Post by Christopher JohnsonYou are simply over-sensitive
sometimes, and I stand by every single word I wrote.
You're the kid here, we're the adults. A concept, yes a concept, Coop,
you might consider. You don't tell me or anyone else here we're
'simply over-sensitive'. You haven't met the tiniest fraction of the
people I have, or that most of us have, so you're not in the best of
positions to judge character.
