That's rough Gav.  Hope it goes as well as it could considering the news.

It went ok, the dude was a huge Star Wars fan so I'm currently googling Star Wars condolence cards  :-\

[seawolf]

Shit Gav. That rough. Sorry to hear that and I can't imagine that's an easy thing to deal with.

[Megatron1505]

Thanks man, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Hardly a surprise either.

@Seul:

Here’s a fascinating article about traditional root beer (including an amazing recipe!):

Just bought a nice bottle of Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut Cuvée. Starters with fresh cheese burger, salad, some taboulé… Then Chili Con Quorne (yes us veggies do get silly now and then) with a wicked good red Italian Primitivo Salento... Then to cool the tastebuds off, some good white Fontareche... Then a Mikkeller Beer Geek Vanilla Shake...

I foresee a slight headache tomorrow...

@Seul:

fresh cheese burger

first finn talking bout coming to the US now seul is saying cheesburger in his posts, WTF is going on here . . . .

[Seul]

They're not the kind of cheeseburger you'd expect. I'll snap a pic later on It looks like this. We don't put it between a bun, just with some veggies on the side and some slices of bread.

And I hope the Brasilians' wine is better than their game… Ordered:

What the hell is that abomination?

[Megatron1505]

Belgian food, second only to British in the WTF?!?? Stakes of European food.

[mclaincausey]

I'd say the Dutch are in that race but I think calling their fare "food" is charitable at best.

[mvb]

get ready to get hungry!

[mvb]

probably the worst kitchen in the solar system

[theding]

Hey, we Brits know our culinary skills are limited. That's why there are so many Chinese, Italian, Indian etc restaurants around. But seriously, what Seul showed I wouldn't put in someone else's mouth.

[mclaincausey]

Here's a classic British recipe:

1: go to market
2: buy can of Heinz beans
3: heat beans
4: place slice of bread in toaster
5: dump beans on toast
6: pretend this is edible

[Seul]

They're really good… I'll post a pic of the complete entree later on... 

[theding]

Beans on toast is more than edible. I had it with scrambled eggs last night.

[Seul]

Maybe you fellas like my booze better than my food…
