Well, personally I consider poutine to be an appetizer. Now HAGGIS, that will put some meat on your bones. After a shower, of course!

No offense, but IMHO lutefisk is about the foulest thing I ever attempted to eat. Poutine on the other hand -- YUM.

Wow!, I really learn a lot on this forum! I found this interesting quote on Lutefisk from the Urban Dictionary:

Lutefisk
Disgusting fish dish served anywhere Scandinavian grandmothers lurk, in the U.S. usually on holidays or other "special occasions." Also makes a frequent appearance on smorgasbords. Best described as fish Jello. Tastes bad and smells worse. Most acidic dish known to man (no joke). Dried codfish is reconstituted in lye (breaking down proteins/any structure), "washed out" with water for a couple of days, and boiled into oblivion. White fish served with a white sauce often on a white plate.

Lutefisk
Food used in Norway to torture children.
Child: "Mommy, I don't want to clean the kitchen!"
Mom: "Do it, or you will have to eat lutefisk again."
Child: "... *Runs to clean the kitchen*"

I'm gagging just reading about it...Greggo, "You first!"..

On the other hand, Lefse is delicious, especially with butter.

Lutefisk was always served at Grandpa's at Christmas. I don't recall anyone actually eating it.

Note the word 'attempted'. I was assured it was good by a friendly Norwegian fellow in upstate Minnesota. He got me.

Apparently "spread" is similar to Thousand Island Dressing, so this isn't far from poutine.

Lots of people eat fries with gravy. At KFC in Canada, gravy is offered as a side dish, presumably to use with fries. If we get a combination dinner which includes gravy, I just throw it out. Some staff will substitute a small salad for the gravy. The U.S. KFC site only mentions gravy for mashed potatoes or for chicken, so maybe gravy on fries is a Canadian thing... although not chosen by most Canadians that I've met.

To show this is still on-thread:In-N-Out Burger has exactly three things on the menu, burgers fries and drinks.
If you order a tripletripleanimalpro,animalfries, you get a lettuce-wrapped triple cheese burger with everything including grilled onions and the above-pictured fries. When you're done, unless you've been very very careful and weren't trying to drive too, you have to take a small shower.

I would rather have a doubledouble.

Edit... Apparently that is also an in n out burger. I was of course refering to coffee. Or a coffee-like beverage depending on who you are talking to.

Hahaha! It has been a pleasant diversion away from showers. When we hit antibacterial soap polluting the ecosystem I knew it was time! I've repent before Site Team Jim puts a contract out on me (hope its not too late)! Anybody heard from him, hope he didn't blow a fuse! I went back and reread from the beginning and just about had a stroke from laughing so hard!

Back to those showers folks, what's the best way get that water out from behind the toilet?

Hi: Greggo... An artificial chamois does a great job wiping down the shower. Works better when it's damp. We keep ours in a Zip-loc baggie so it's ready to go to work...when you're finished!!! Alf

Dear Santa,
I think I have been good all year. All I want for Chritmas this year is a new shower head and for a moderator to step in and put this thread to bed!
I hope Rudolph and all the other reindeer are well.

My original shower head doesn't really shut off, it only goes down to a dribble. I know some have replaced theirs, what have you used? does it work with the original wall mount or did you need to swap that too?

Bob - we bought this one: Camco Shower Head

It turns off completely and fits in the original wall mount. It doesn't come with gravy though.

Greggo - we use a squeegee on the shower wall, and then a quick wipe with a microfiber towel.
