Starwberry and Chocolate Gateaux

I had the 2nd best slice of cake in my life yesterday.

I like the way you called it "STARwberry", as if subconsciously, you was thinking, what a star! I made myself curry last night. It was supposed to be um, tandoori but came out more bhuna. And burnt. But just at the bottom! I ate the top half okay.

loool

what's the difference between tandhori and bhuna?

I didn't know "gateau" was used in English! Do you aswell put an "x" when plural and none when singular?

Yes we do add the x for the plural of gateau. According to my dictionary the word is of French origin, now there's a surprise. The term gateau is usually used for a fancy cake but to me they are all just CAKES.

I've been moved. Where to?

"I've been moved. Where to?"

Yes well I had heard that you are not here right now. You posted this in Shaolin, and, as riveting as it is, I thought perhaps better placed in General Chat. Seeing as you did not chin na the cake, rather chowed it.

Xavier, I meant by my curry comment that it came out rather dry, in my limited and british influenced experience of curry a bhuna has less 'sauce' if you will. There is a much more sophisticated answer regarding flavour, but, it won't come from me. I'm mostly a khorma girl, wimpy really, i like the spices and taste but can't take the heat in large doses.

Hi Yatish, what was the first best slice of cake?

by **Yatish Parmar** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:57 pm

it was in a "ye old tea shoppe" in the new forest. run by old ladies. They possessed some kind of bewildering recipe which created a cake so light fluffy moist and melt in the mouth I was lost in the sheer experience of it. What I do remember was the clotted cream was so thick and fresh from a cow it wouldn't come out of it's receptacle, even with serious shaking.

I obviously needed more peng.

Is it just uz or is it nigh on impossible ta seh t' wut cake wiyaa' gonneur intoa eur Yorksha accent.

Is it just me or is it nigh on impossible to say the word CAKE without going into a Yorkshire accent.

by **Yatish Parmar** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 4:14 am

Man.

CEEYYYK

That's as bad as when Americans say MOOOOOOOOM.

by **darth_freak** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 5:01 am

Wow... Is Yorkshire accent that bad? I may go there next school year... :shock:

to improve my English accent!!

by **Yatish Parmar** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 1:39 pm

Come to London...

haha you know what makes me laugh? At camp there are people speaking English in all sorts of strange accents. And the one person nobody understands is me the sole London-born English cat.. Maybe Yorkshire is a better bet!

i love cake and yorkshire. tis nowt wrong wit' yorkshire accent. Darth I recommend the University of York, I studied as an undergraduate there and got my MA from there, it's an excellent school and York is a gorgeous city. Having said that my brother attended LSE and he reckoned living in London was the best ever. So, I think either way your English will improve..so long as you don't hang out with Yatish. Although you may wish to in order to discover the secret location of the world's best ever gateau. Now I'm peckish.

by **Yatish Parmar** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 3:29 am

Second best.

I was taken through to the first via bewildering route through the new forest which ended up at ye old tea shoppe.

We need to find "The Chiropractor" to get to Ye Old Tea Shoppe.

Where's Indy when you need him?

actually I'll be there to assist a French teacher in secondary school. So I can't choose what place I'll go. I had to pick 3 regions where I'd like to go and I asked for Surrey, Yorkshire or Sussex. Now I wait for my... allocation (? :-/)

I didn't pick London cause I've been told that they're few true English there compared to the ratio of foreigners walking the streets. And it's said to be expsensive as hell!!

by **Yatish Parmar** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 4:22 pm

We had one of those in my last school. It's an OK job. Make sure you are clear on your contract and boundaries because schools will seek to take advantage of you.

If you are working in a state school and expect to pick up "good English" prepare for a shock. London or not, working class people don't have great English!

Wo' yew saayin' on 'en bor, cor blarst me, tha's a lotta ol squit, I'm workin' clarss an' I go' bloomin' proper good English.

When I know where I go I'll let you know and maybe you could tell me if I'm gonna need a local translator :p
