At one time oysters were so plentiful in London that they were regularly eaten by the poor.

It was like that with lobster also at one point.

De 'echte Bergse clique' is sneu en achterbaks vooral. Useless/incomprehensible info for you maybe but right as rain nonetheless.

The "real mountain clique" is sad and deceitful above all. 


I'll keep it in mind the next time I climb the New Orleans Mountains.  lol.

I figured this out on my own a while back.  In the USA the rural areas have a saying, "chewing the fat" to refer to friendly talk among men, usually sitting outside a store (the old days).  Well, if bacon is cooked crisp you can eat it quickly.  If it's not, then you have to take time to chew the fat.  The old-timers had the time to socialize and "chew the fat."

P.S.  I can't abide crisp bacon.

I met someone today from Connecticut, but I didn't find out exactly where.
