h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Some of you may have seen this floating around teh interwebs. I reposted it myself, in fact, on Twotter http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTxpl4OWIAAjLJf.jpg

I'm facing the same problem myself. This weekend we're having a little party at work, a Thanksgiving party where everyone brings something in the way of food. Mostly people are going to bring traditional Thanksgiving dinner fare, naturally - turkey, cornbread stuffing (this is Texas, after all), cranberries, mash, glazed carrots and sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie etc.

I thought I'd bring along a few things of a more... British nature But here's the problem - there are people who are gluten free; there are people who are vegan; there are people who are vegetarian; there are people who can't digest milk.

Well, I'm going to make some gluten-free cider bread, if I can find the necessary millet flour. But I'm also taking along cider ice cream, and some , plus home made chutney.

A is a is a . It's made with meat and I really don't think gluten-free flour will make a good hot water crust. And ice cream is ice cream is ice cream. Hey, it's all organic and I'm using our own product in it. As for the chutney... is there such a thing as vinegar intolerance?

some people can/will eat certain things... for whatever reasons, others won't... or will... or can, or can't... - Surely, with such a thing, the idea is, with a varied number of people, being there, bringing varied things, then, there is by its nature, a variatey of stuff, some of which some will eat, some of which others won't etc., etc., it oughta all even out... and I reckon your home made porkpies are probably bette r than most this side of the pond

I'm certain the people with various food requirements will bring plenty of what they can eat, and have a crack at whatever else is on the menu that isn't going to give them a bad stomach, wind, or worse. The vegetarians and gluten free people will be able to tackle the ice cream, and the lactose free people can tuck into the . The cider bread went down well last time but I couldn't find millet flour at the co-op so I bought millet and ground it in a coffee grinder. It didn't do such a good job and the bread came out somewhat gritty.

it all just sounds fabulus to me! I'm hungry... can you tell? damnit... gona find some supper now!

Mmmmm, supper One of my favourite words.

Its one of my favorite words too... along with breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, high tea, supper, afternoon tea, tea break, snack, snackette, had cheese with a pile of toast last night, for supper.... and just had a pile of toast with butter for a lat eenough breakfast, that I can almost immediately go straight into lunch

You forgot elevenses, unless that falls under tea break. I have been known to have a three-course breakfast In fact I usually do on Christmas Day With

and he forgot Brunch

Oh 2legs, for shame!
