crackers can also be biscuits

Bollocks. Crackers are salty. Biscuits are sweet.

You’re posting bollocks now. Biscuits aren’t always sweet.

What’s the difference between a braai and a BBQ, then, because I’m often told the braai is superior in some way.

Well, judging from what I’ve seen on cooking programs on the TV, barbeques are usually done over a flame. Do that in SA and the braaimeister will throttle you with his tongs. Braais are exclusively done over coals.

When little Andy comes to your class and says the correct pronunciation of “orange” is “olangee” because that’s what his second-grade teacher at school told him, and you are wrong

I hear that jp. Highly demotivating. I understand your frustrations.

@jimipresley

it’s like sticking an ungreased cactus up your arsehole.

My teacher said its, one cacti.

Bollocks are also salty, therefore my bollocks are crackers. Me do logic nice.

With the amount of running you do, yours must taste like the Dead Sea.

So salty that the psoriasis society recommends that sufferers give them a rub.

Next time you’re in town, I’ll put some peppercorns and coriander seeds on them and rub them on some kudu steaks to make biltong.

I thought Brits considered both crackers and cookies to be types of biscuits.

Don’t you braaai my balls. The judge was very specific on that point.

If you’re from a part of the US where BBQ just means grilling, then braai is better. If you’re from a part of the US that does proper smoked slow-cooked BBQ, then braai is worse.

I’ll raise you an aubergine

Thanks. Now I’ve got the Christina Aguilera song “Aubergenie in a Butthole” stuck in my head

Cookies are on a computer. Biscuits can be dunked in tea. Crackers go with cheese. But then there’s cheese and biscuits. Oh fuck! My world just fell apart.

Biscuits are sweet.

cookies are sweet, biscuits go either way

@jimipresley
