it´s a food-thread now.

Hm... someone pass the garlic bread.

Does each american know that pommes are french fries? I don't know that.

Nope. I do since I've been to Germany, but here they're fries and nothing else really.

Hmmm jummy! I want that know! Can someone bring me some garlic bread?

Nope. I do since I've been to Germany, but here they're fries and nothing else really.

I learned two great words in the US: roadkill and lovehandels
They are brilliant.

Well, I have high expectations of our American participants. So far they haven't let me down!

Garlic sauce! Jammie!!!

Here: (NL) Frieten, patatten (don't ask)
also: (FR) pommes (frites), frites
and: (DE) Pommes.

And fries/chips or whatever are the national food symbol of Belgium. Fries with mayonaise!

Ah! Knobibrot!

Unfortunately not easy to find here.

you don't want to learn American, they'll ruin your English

you don't want to learn American, they'll ruin your English

And you don't want to learn UK English, it sounds like someone is trying to swallow a hot potato.
It ruins your sound system.

Besides that, Dutch is WAY more beautiful!

its not about how they sound, its about how the americans have made the language too simple, where it is a complex and beautiful langauge which needs to be preserved.

and if you simply the manual gearbox, of a car, into a "stick"
it sickens me.

and shorten words, like Flavour into flavor
or over use of the Z.

i.e. Randomise/Randomize

I want some too... garlic sauce and bratwurst. Sounds like an epic German dinner.

Lovehandels? I don't even know that one.

No. I'd call it useless thing.

Well, what do you say to a "schuifhuis" (Afrikaans), aka the equivalent of an elevator?

For the record, I live in Flanders, but sometimes I don't know what they're saying here. Even though it is (supposed to be) the same language. I find Afrikaans easier.
