So, you would eat roadkill, but not snake or anything containing brain?
That makes no sense to me.
47. Mini Chicken tikka masala sandwiches: yes
do you remember that luke used to try to order eggs benedict every time we visited house of pies, but was always foiled? they only serve it on weekends and holidays.
"but...it's flag day!"
Lauren: I was going to strike roadkill before but JPat mentioned that she would eat a deer that had been hit by a car and I would have to agree. Unless it was all exploded and gross. I just can't say absolutely that I would never eat anything that was found dead. See? Not picky.
Also, why does not eating brain not make sense to you?
Robert (yes I know it's you): MINI SANDWICHES! I was just telling my parents that story the other day. They laughed indulgently.
the american additions to this list amuse me. i feel like we're being indirectly insulted. i mean, really. hot dog? pb and j? BIG MAC?! that's it?!

Well, it was written by the Brits, so your "indirect" insult theory is probably sound.
