Bratwurst is pretty good wrapped in a tortilla, and of course the Norteños have their own sort of polka music. The ne plus ultra, so far as I am concerned is the chicken fried steak (read: schnitzel) topped with cheese & jalapeños you can find at a couple of places locally.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746486966764162127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-82853084181961282432013-03-15T12:03:56.657-04:002013-03-15T12:03:56.657-04:00Hey!

I've Irish root and am a Smith!<br />I also have Welsh, Scots, German, Swedish, Swiss, French, and God only know what else roots.<br /><br />Q: What to the Irish call St. Paddy's Day?<br />A: Amateur Night <br /><br />Also celebrate Oktoberfest, St. David's Day (I eat a leek), Burn's Night (haggis!), Hogmanay, and what ever else provides an excuse for eating and drinking. The 5th of May goes unremarked. Why a victory over the French warrants a celebration is beyond me. It's not like it's an unusual event.Stretchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-5435449456587872262013-03-14T21:33:40.388-04:002013-03-14T21:33:40.388-04:00Ah, hell!

Calling it "football" came later, not the other way around. <br /><br />Just sayin'. <br /><br />I will definitely be at the blogmeet.
