Excellent take aways there.

I have learned this:

1. Ham is apparently not a trendy dish anymore (news to me - I thought I liked ham but now I guess I need to reconsider)
2. Adults actually do eat food from Taco Bell.
3. The whole concept of Evil Stepmother, which I foolishly thought originated somewhere in the Black Forest of Europe and was perpetrated by two European brothers named Grimm, is apparently limited to the United States - a land populated solely by dysfunctional, fat, selfish people.


Hey, is it a coincidence that the above sentence includes the word "black" which applies not only to a place in Europe, but also a type of ham, and ALSO the color of the skin that Sweet Baby James should have if he is going to match his name? This cannot be an accident.

I feel a trip to the deli coming on. I think I'll fix myself a big Black Forest ham sandwich, and then sit down and watch a Samuel Jackson movie, or maybe three episodes of Luther. However, I will NOT watch them from the kitchen table - this seems somehow fraught with danger.

Hmmmm...but we are only hearing the one side of the story.

I will continue to say the problem is not about the food. There is a storm brewing and it has nothing to do with food or seating.

Europeans look at Americans as not having a clue, and generally gluttonous, inspired by self interest only.
Where are YOU from, oh wonderful full of clues, skinny, self-sacrificing one?

Like the Black Irish? Maybe that is what she meant! Is this family from Ireland? I will have to do a re-read and see if Colcannon was mentioned on the bill-of-fare.

If you want my suggestion for European food with the word black in it try some Black Forest Cake. Its no taco bell Churros but mighty fine.

9. Europeans are selfless, drama free, superior beings.
10. There are actually shirts for just this occasion that say "My princess name is Taco Belle."

I was astonished at this fact.

Whatever you do, don't eat black pudding.

I mean, just don't. Don't do it.

The OP has a dinning room. When she first posted it was too big to use. At some point over the past two days it shrank and is now too small.

I suspect that many of these posters who support the step-daughter are step kids themselves or possibly self entitled "kids" themselves.
I'm not a step kid, I just know there are three sides to every story. And if a story changes from post to post, it's probably not the most accurate retelling of the story.

I admit that I like black pudding with a full English breakfast...as long as I don't think about what it is.

I don't like ANY black licorice.

I do like Idris Elba.
