    EATING TEA!

    Even though i have known my American friend almost 5 years now i still have a few words/phrases that confuse her once in a while.

    She came on line a while ago and asked me what i was doing and i replied "eating my tea" she of course said dont you mean drinking your tea and i said well yes i am drinking my tea,but im also eating my tea

    Some of we Brits call our dinner...tea,but it was hard trying to explain that to an American...lol.

    John.

    To add to the confusion, there really is an 'eating tea' meal. It is a Tibetian Sherpa 'delicacy' called "Tsampa" (I think) which is made by cooking tea leaves and barley. It is NOT a staple diet fo the sherpas generally, but apparently, they use it as a filler while travelling up the mountains!

    I don't know a lot of things. Football for instance...if you told me that David Beckham was the Dalai Lama's grandson, I'll probably believe you (btw he's not, is he? [msnscared]).

    But I think I can manage Las Vegas without help, thanks [msnwink].
