Although admittedly many people also aren't too fond of more exotic stuff like lamb and goat (or generally game for that matter)... Not me though, I like to try out new things and actually quite like lamb... smiley: smile

It's more a question of the supermarkets not selling it - but come holiday season they are everywhere - and cheap to boot. It's quite sad really - back when I was a kid, lamb and goat was incredibly cheap and everywhere. Today you can barely get it at a professional butcher shop, let alone supermarkets. smiley: sad




All the restaurants here in Austria are selling menus with it smiley: smile

Don't have Guy Fawkes day here but we have our share of religious and national holidays. Morten's Eve is coming up - also known as St. Martin's day. People tend to cook duck (pretty hard to get outside of these specific holidays, sadly) and often light bonfires. smiley: sarcastic


Really? Duck is quite abundant here, just a quick trip to the pond at the end of my road really smiley: wink

Here in the UK we celebrate Guy Fawkes Day tomorrow, the 5th November, when the afore-mentioned criminal tried to blow up the houses of parliament. He was prevented in the nick of time, and then tortured terribly until he confessed to the crime of being a traitor. Strange I know. Do you in other countries have anything like this tomorrow? We also call it Fireworks Day or Bonfire Night.

I'm not entirely sure bit I believe he is a symbol because because he was a martyr.

As I have said above, the reason for the "holiday" (loosely used because unless I get a day off for it its not really a holiday) is political propaganda. In other words the government made an example of him and with the holiday were basically saying "Look this guy tried to blow us up and look where it got him, I wouldn't try anything against us if I were you".

Why exactly is that day celebrated? That he was stopped? Or that he almost succeeded?



As I understand it, he was trying to overthrow the government, and replace it with an even worse one. All in the name of freedom. So why Anonymous and other "freedom fighters" use his mask, is beyond me.




You never heard of V for Vendetta?



He´s a symbol.

Well I have glasses but can get away with it because I'm long sited so as long as I don't have to read anything I'm fine to wear masks. Not that I generally wear masks, I generally prefer to let my victims see the joy in my eyes. Wait, I've said too much.

The older I get the less sure I am that I should be enjoying a day that was I am sure originally political propaganda. Although it is now really just about burning huge amounts of waste wood and having pretty fireworks.
