Am I the only dutch around here?

[beli]

aawww what about our licorice???
You can wake me up for it at night!!

Have you tried it once Beli?? Otherwise i will send you some!

Thank you for your generous offer but I will respectfully decline. I have tasted Dutch licorice and its not 100% compatible with my palate.

Chizip might like some though.

There is also sweet drop (like we call it)..

 

[Chizip]

Sometimes. The meat is pretty tough though. And you can only really eat the farmed roos. The wild ones are full of worms. It's mostly used for pet food here. Are you glad you asked?

 

[Chizip]

yes, i love learning about other cultures

well thats the sweet version!! so no salt..

Kangaroos are vermin. We have literally millions of them. The government shoots them to keep the numbers under control (unfortunately they sometimes do this in an inhumane manner but thats another discussion)

So we may as well use them for pet food/occassionally bbq them.

 

[Chizip]

ooh sweet drop sounds good

 

[Chizip]

do you guys have deer?

we have those and it sounds a lot like your kangaroos

there are too many here so we have to get people to take care of them

and some people eat them too

 

[beli]

Is sweet drop called sweet drop on the packet? Or something else in Dutch? We have Dutch lollies over here. Theres quite a few Dutchies that live in Perth.

Nup, no deer. All our native mammals are marsupials. The vermin imported animals are wild horses, dromedaries, European mice (ie mice that run on 4 legs instead of skip on 2), European rats, and bunnies.

interesting, i need to visit australia sometime, and maybe eat some kangaroo

And they will all kill me for not bothering to work out how to spell their towns properly. lol.

If you use this babelfish program at:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

to translate your posts into Dutch it amuses the Dutchies no end. Apparently its not accurate for some reason.
