the trick to learning anything here on the net, , , , , you got to figure out who knows what they are talking about & who is full of BS hahahaha , I resembell that remark ! hahaha Enjoy, Vince, yes I have been in the scotch tonight ! hahaha when am I not !
That is the history of the potato chip Vince.
Traditionally fish and chips were served in newspaper. In WWII and post-WWII England there was a shoratge of just about everything. This included newspaper. So if you wanted fish and chips, you had to provide your own newspaper. My grandfather was in the RAF and CRAF in WWII and he told me this story many times.

I like to have a cup of hot tea after I smoke a cigar. I find I like English Tea after a mild cigar and an Earl Grey or some Irish Tea after a richer cigar. I find that the tastes compliment each other very well.
Why would one replace "French" with "Freedom"?Capt said:
Capt, I'll start posting on the AmBack Coffee forum when I think of some good questions. I wanted to ask you about Peaberry Coffee and why you like it.

The french were a big help in the war with England back in 1776, but since then we have had to pull the bacon out of the fire ( WWI & WWII) , one french general was saying at a nato meeting , why must we speak English at all nato meetings, ? an American Admarial told him point blank, we fixed it so you wouldnt need to learn to speak Greman , , , when President George W Bush was putting together a coliation to go Back to Iraq to finish what his father had started, france was a thorn in his side & didnt want to help out, so there was a back lash in this country replacing the word french with Freedom ....... it is way to early in the day to get into a political discussion, but after many, yes a whole lot of manys, years in the kitchen I have found the french to be some what rude & pompus , I know that is not a good representation of all the wonderfull people in France, just the ones I have had to deal with, as a suborinate & as a leader, I have a RED, White & Blue collar on my Chefs Jacket , not a blue white & red one ( the French Chefs collar ) , so you went to the "Cordon Blu"~~~ B.F.D. I went to the school of hard nocks & I am willing to match up my cooking tallents against any one, including all the Iron Chefs, & Emeril, I might not win , but I will give them a fight they will remember , so there is a weeee bit of rational thinking about replacing the term "french" with the word Freedom
Please dont take this as a put down of everything French, it is not, just a small % of the people who think they are better than the next human being, , & God knows I am not one of them , I am a humble & Freedom loving American with a mixed ansesrty so diverce that I could only be an American , , I have family in all parts of Europe & North Americia from the Med. to the Baltic to the Irish sea, I asked my grandmother what Nationality we were, she told me we were American, , the great melting pot of the American way of life, Italian , German, Scotch/Irish, Russian,French,Spanish, Serb/Croaition,& some Scandinavian blood all mixed in with a little American Indian, , I did ask my Grandmother what tribe , & she said no tribe , just a wondering Indian. so what else could I be but an American? , I hope I didnt offend any one , it is not my practice to offend, just to enlighten some & confuse others , my self included, No I havent been in the whisky today , well not yet anyway ! hahaha Enjoy, Vince

Thanks for the explanation, Vince. I wont (nor do I want to) make this into a political debate. I'm pretty sure you all know how I feel about George W. Bush and his adminitration. I just wanted to hear from someone articulate (like Vince) to shead some light on why one would go through the trouble of deleting a word from there vocabulary.
Were the French wrong to not participate in the invasion? I certainly was against the invasion from the get go. Will you stop talking to me because I disagree with some of your views? Well, no, I know the conservative folks on this forum are intelegent, level headed people. It's certainly refreshing to converse with folks that don't blow up because you disagree with them. I hope you don't mind my questions. I have lots of questions. By talking to each other we can all understand each other a little bit better.
Thank you, Vince.
cheers:wine:

Re: Temporary Thread Jack
I was not in favor of any war , but when push comes to shove some times you have to act. any war no matter what the outcome is Bad for every one , it takes up time ,money & man power, it is counter productive to making a living , some do profit from it , but some Pay the price dearly. I am a Navy vet & I enlisted to beat the draft back in the 60's Viet Nam was big then, you might have read about it in History class . I support the troops, they are sent in to do a job & while they are in harms way I will do what I can to help them, from sending cigars & phone cards so they can call home, My Brothers in arms Viet Nam Vets Chapter 862 of which I am a life member & the Disabled American Vets ( again a life member ) send Packages to the men in uniform all the time & I will contune to support that, I dont like to fight , but I have & I will again if needed . Support the troops is high on my list. I hope it is high on your list also, no matter what your political out look is, End of Rant !!
Enjoy, Vince
I would never stop talking to anyone for political reasons, , but if you were a swisher sweet smoker I might hold that against you hahahahahaha,Brenda said:

I have some very good friends who are of the liberal persuasion, while I am of the rabid right-wing stripe. I avoid political discussions, because I treasure my friends and friendships, and it seems that political discussions end in bitter results.
Brenda is SUPER SWEET! (Note that I did not say Swisher Sweet Vince
)
BTW, Brenda, please remember that my offer of excess storage for your cigars is still on the table
(Another BTW, I was shopping last night a Target, or Tarshay' if you're French, and my wife found me drooling over the Igloo section. "Why are looking so long at coolers?" Oh...... no reason dear. )

Zolotoy YOU MUST BUY A CUSANO HERMANOS VINTAGE ROBUSTO They are almost identicle to the special R. Same tobacco, same factory, same roller, 1/4 the price
I love all cigars, I just prefer some to others so I would not call it beginners luck.
Coffee is my drink of choice with a cigar. I love a good scotch though.
