Flavoured coffee for instance - YUK!!!<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banoffee_pie<br /><br />Your Mexican restaurants down there will be a deal more authentic than ours, which are Tex-Mex, heavy emphasis on the Tex. I had a very nice desert in Austin once, in a Mex cafe - sponge cake with a thick custardy filling - haven't seen it on a menu anywhere since.

Have you tried it...do you like it? I may try making it soon. I assume the name is a cross of banana and toffee.<br /><br />Here in the deep south, we have "cajeta", a Mexican caramelized milk. I love it. It can be purchased ready-made at most grocery stores here.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-30162132498823109602013-01-12T20:23:31.369-06:002013-01-12T20:23:31.369-06:00Cor Blimey!

I'm thinking about Rhianna. Yes, yes, you found love in a hopeless place. You told me that already. Now please tell me where you were, why it was "hopeless", how you found the love and what happened next. Her song about diamonds is not much better. Is she too busy wearing fur and snakeskin and partying to learn any lyrics?Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-53976151756311984502013-01-12T10:27:29.875-06:002013-01-12T10:27:29.875-06:00Two cents plain...efforf...shaddi...anticlockwise....Two cents plain...efforf...shaddi...anticlockwise...bees knees...blow me(!)...duff...gen up...jammy bastard...naff off...on the piss...owt for nowt...shag...zed<br /><br />For a list of British colloquialisms: http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml<br /><br />Doubt that I'll visit Britain soon, but I'll take a British language class when I do!
