Dear me, Arthur, you do have a bee in your bonnet! You didn't even answer rrab's query!
Snowball? Do you mean Advocaat? Open it, use your nose, then taste. If nose and taste say OK, the go ahead and drink it.
I always use my nose and taste to see if anything is potable or edible, I don't go too much on use-by dates. I have used milk 10 days past it's date - it smelled and tasted fresh, so I used it with no problems! Big Grin

rrabs query ? i never posted-dont know anything about snowballs! i think all was lost in translation due to censorship.

i said you were obviosly a d--n-d good cook (cant use the whole word) or it will be censored.

there is a proverb in the english language-dam-n-d if you do and d--ned if you dont.

i dont think the english language should be edited by anyone.if they dont like the english language,they should go and live in another country.

A snowball is advocaat with lemonade added. I once made advocaat; Sugar, brandy and eggs cooked over a pan of boiling water. I got rather squiffy from the fumes while stirring!
Re Arthur's comment about the English language: here in South Africa there are eleven official languages. In this area, KwaZulu Natal, we use three, English, Afrikaans and isiZulu. My home language is English. but people here are very courteous, and if you don't understand them, they will attempt English. I must say that I understand more Afrikaans and isiZulu that I can speak, although I always greet the Zulu population in their own language. Again, courtesy.
When I lived in the UK, I received a letter from my GP's surgery, it was in at least 20 different languages. I did not read it, as I had trouble finding the English bit, so I sent it back, and said I would like a letter in the official UK language, which is English. I never heard from them, and never had any idea what the letter had been about.
I agree wholeheartedly with Arthur's last comment: If you don't like the English language, go to another country. Try France! The insist on French, and fair dues to them.

Well said Victoria! Imagine moving to a country, not knowing the language and then not even trying? Now, that is discourteous!

I am so impressed you made advocaat! Doesn't this word mean "lawyer" in Dutch? Anyway, I love the stuff!

I really don't know what you lot are banging on about. Every person I have spoken to at UKTVFood and even the moderating company, speak perfect English.

I find it very offensive that people are saying the moderating company do not or cannot speak English. They can, and they do.

As a side note......... Aldo Zilli came to this country with not a word of English. he has done quite well.
