Absinthe & Cookies (a bit bitter, a bit sweet)

The MacDonalds' in Japan serve California rolls. And they have the CUTEST stuffed Hello Kitty dolls! There's a bride Kitty and an astronaut Kitty...

this odd whitish green substance instead of ketchup for your fries

I believe it's called "mayonnaise."

Kacie: that's kewl!

Steve: No, it wasn't "mayonnaise". It was almost tartar sauce like, but not quite. And why the attitude? I don't even know who you are, so I'm a little baffled as to why you show up here and take the time to comment just to be condescending.

Why the attitude?

I could ask you the same question.

"I could ask you the same question."

Gee, Steve - this is Ith's blog, not yours - I don't think you have any business asking her.

And? As I said, I don't know you, we're talking about dipping sauce for french fries, and I can't say I've ever met anyone who gets their knickers in a twist over tartar sauce. Not that you don't run into something new every day...

Would you like to talk about the fish and chocolate breakfast I had with the Dutch family I stayed with? Since you've been to Holland, maybe it would be a subject we could talk about. Where did you go while you were there? Did you get a chance to visit the house Anne Frank was hidden in?

I'm not sure what you're expecting, but if you're looking for someone that's going to hurl curses at you so you can justify your actions, you're barking up the wrong blog. I wouldn't go to your blog and mock you over your posts, whether I agreed with you or not. It's your 'home' as this is mine. So if you'd like to discuss Holland, I'm more than happy to. If not, then thanks for dropping by and I hope you find someplace to comment that's more to your liking.

Whoops, sorry -- I see you allow comments, but I guess I forgot you're a right-winger, and therefore can't tolerate disagreement. My bad.

Steve, if it means that much to you, then we can say that what they serve in Holland with fries is mayo. Not sure what my political affiliation has to do with our disagreement about condiments, but whatever floats your boat [g] It seems that you have more trouble with me disagreeing it wasn't mayo, than I do with you thinking it was.

Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend! Maybe we should stick to discussing mustard next time.

*snicker*

HEY, I hate mustard! Especially that French Poop-on stuff!

;-P

How do you feel about brown deli mustard?

So, Steve disagrees with your posting a link to Cassandra's Liberal Anti-War Hypocrisy post. But instead of trolling at Cassandra's or on even on your post, he comes to this thread and argues about mayo/tartar sauce? TROLL!!!!!!!!!

I've only been to the airport in Amsterdam, so I don't have Holland McDonalds experience, but my hubby thought it was great that they served beer with Value Meals in Germany! Of course we were on a chorus tour with a tee-totalling Christian college, so he was a bit disappointed as well!

Ahh, yes McDonald's. Or as I call it when travelling beyond the USA, "The American Traveller's Aid Society" for McDonald's not only has food familiar to an American but they are the only places one can always count on to have clean toilets! (If only the ones in the US were so clean, eh?)

On a first stay overseas, I (like several other Americans I've shared tales of living overseas with) scrupulously avoided McDonald's. Somehow, we all supposed that would "contaminate" our ex-pat experience, I guess. Second time, phooey! Never again would any of us so foolishly hew to a false pride. Gimme the clean toilets! And the taste of home - even if it is slightly bent by beer in Germany, mayo (that does oddly taste of tartar sauce even in some of the local "fritjes shops") with french fries in the Low Countries, or a splash of teriyaki sauce in Japan.
