Well, I did have a burger for dinner last night. Diced onion, capsicum, lean beef, marinated in Soy, Worcestershire sauce, paprika for a few hours before making the paddies. Burgo s must have beetroot. 

In the USA capsicum is called "bell pepper". I had to google capsicum to learn what it was. Never heard it called that before now.

Maybe it was the Australian accent that made him believe I was winding him up.

6'6" matey ... so now it's clear you are picking on me grumpy ... as an aside, you are rather tall for an Aussie I would say ... no Northern European ancestry in your lineage ...

 

I entirely agree (about the capsicum)

And that, Mr Bunny, is quite questionable ...

Bell peppers? Good stuffed and roasted, excellent with eggs and put into a sandwich. And a staple in some Mexican dishes. Yummy.

I have to agree with CDW, capsicum is red peppers native to the Americas, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum. It's related to nightshade which we consider to be a poison.

Nightshade is particularly poisonous and deadly to cattle. When I was young, my father would walk our pasture to point out the nightshade to me. He then explained it would kill our cattle as they would readily eat it. He would quickly remove it once he saw it.

That’s what my kid do say, they’re  poisonous 

That's what my kids say about almost everything that adds flavor to food, grows from the ground, and is not normally fried!...... Ketchup is the only edible red vegetable in their eyes.

still the pickiest eater I've ever seen

Mine aren't picky They pretty much eat like horses so long as it is the same stuff and you don't embellish on the recipe for added flavor! :(

I really really like your builds but you should give the flags a bit more love, they deserve it ;-)

 

cheers,

 

Dirk

Be careful what you write Dirk, you may be blamed for picking on RGL. He's somewhat sensitive with his SMS - as he put it, although, I would just refer to an inferiority complex :huh:

 

Oh Greg, it isn't personal, you just bring out the worst in me ... crappy builds, ordering at the wrong internet shop, you know  ... the lot ...

 

Oh, nearly forgot, thanks Dirk, and good to have your positive feedback

OC, it is too, cap'n sicum, always nauseous when on board. Glad I'm not tom, never could ketchup ... Look how RGL simply passes me by with his build, never had a chance to catch him (not even up), could not get a long side, even if I wanted to!

Thanks OC, I'm still looking into the "placement" of the decals. Got enough to plaster the hull with it, so thanks for the offer, but don't bother. Waste of money to use the postal services ...
