Only a third?

#18  Just one, lotp? :-(

g(r)omgoru, switching Han for Bantu would be a bit more noticed than Han for Tibetan. And look how much attention Tibet is getting nowadays.

#12  Bangers and Mash, bubbles and squeek, fish and chips. The Brits have some damn tasty stuff they rarely get credit for.

#11  Ahhh but then there's the Ale and that makes everything all right.

#10  When I was young(about 40 years ago), I read an article that the Brits were fussing about all the good protein that they were wasting by feeding it to pets. I love our English cousins, but prefer to look elsewhere for dinner.

#8  China isn't going to get anything useful out of those parts of the world, foodwise, unless they manage to impose peace on the fractious occupants.

Based on past performance, I think they're planning to replace the "fractious occupants".

#6  Hey, I make a great steak & kidney pie. Not summer fare, but good on a damp, cold day.

There's GREAT food in the Orkneys - at least one Michelin starred chef moved back to his home there a while ago and started a small restaurant using only very local, fresh ingredients. One of the best we've ever eaten at.

But then there was London .....

#5  Steak and Kidney pie, bubble-n-squeek for breakfast. Yum.

#4  BIGNEWSNETWORK > MUSLIM NEWS - GREAT BRITAIN FORECASTED TO BECOME THE MOST POPULOUS NATION IN EUROPE. HMMMMM< "most populous" + mostly Muslim [ala WND].

* WORLDNEWS/TOPIX > CHINA IN GLOBAL LANDS SEARCH FOR FOOD.

OWG/Global Agri-Zones = Food Colletives, versus solely Chinese???

#2  What do they do with the other two-thirds?

#1  I have tasted English food; the waste basket is a good place for it. Grease fried mashed potatoes for breakfast? Yech! Kidney pie? Awful!
