I thought I'd covered the cultural differences with "potato chips". Chutney is a spicy or savory condiment originating in India. Chutney is made from fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs with vinegar, sugar, and spices. It’s used to provide balance to an array of dishes, or highlight a specific flavor profile. Broadly, the word chutney is now applied to anything preserved in sugar and vinegar, regardless of its texture, ingredients, or consistency. Apparently, Major Grey's Chutney is a type of sweet and spicy chutney popular in the United States. Curry in Western usage is a dish composed with a sauce or gravy seasoned with a mixture of ground spices that is thought to have originated in India and has since spread to many regions of the world. The foundation of many Indian curries is a mixture of onion, ginger, and garlic. In the UK and Ireland, Indian restaurants and takeaways are very popular. There are several types of meringue, but the most basic is egg white mixed with sugar which is then beaten until it's light and fluffy before being baked. It can be a topping on dishes like lemon meringue pie or the base of dishes such as pavlova. The ones found in bakeries are hard on the outside, but may contain a slightly chewy center, and can include chocolate or buttercream decoration.

What a shame that you're both still suffering, Roger. We have a bank holiday here tomorrow which coincides with Halloween this year. I don't do anything to celebrate it, but a few of my friends were discussing getting costumes together for their children today. We've had a 2-day food festival in town this weekend. There were all sorts of street foods from around the world, a large selection of jams and chutneys, cookery demonstrations and various other attractions which included Latvian folk dancing. I had some very nice, freshly made crisps (potato chips) and a huge meringue yesterday, and a curry followed by mini donuts today. I've also got some raw honeycomb and carrot cake marmalade to eat over the next few days.

Gate Way Clipper Fleet(Pittsburgh PA)
Check out the Gateway Clipper website: https://www.gatewayclipper.com/ A basic 1-hour sightseeing cruise is $30, you can get luncheon on a 2-hour cruise for $47 upwards, while dinner cruises start at $52 and go up to $100 depending on the date, the food and the entertainment that's included. If you've got 39 friends, you can charter a boat for 2 hours for $1,000. Skipper, beware of the "New Year’s Eve Hors D’Ouevres Dance Cruise & Tour" - it appears to be a 3-hour tour.

One Word Song Titles
I've just seen that controversial singer Jerry Lee Lewis has died at the age of 87. He was described as "One of the last survivors of rock 'n' roll's golden age". At 22, Jerry Lee Lewis famously married his 13-year-old cousin. Obviously that never happened with our favorite cousins, but in 'One Armed Bandits' Bo did tell Daisy, "If we weren't cousins, I'd marry you.", to which Daisy replied, "That's never stopped anyone in this family before."

Sorry to hear that you have Covid again, Roger. It seems to be coming back at the moment - we have two supervisors at work who tested positive on Monday, and they work at different locations.

1/25 General Lee Build Help
You could try contacting Jim85IROC. He's building four different R/C versions of the General at 1/10 scale. His Radio Control Dukes cars thread mentions printing his own decals (and 3D printing parts).

Bye Bye, Boss
Did you notice how Homer told Rosco that the "Duke boys just robbed me. Picked me clean as a chicken.", yet Rosco immediately upgraded the crime and told Boss "You know, there's nothing like starting the day with a good armed robbery." Homer never claimed that the Dukes were armed, he just said that they'd robbed him. BTW. A bit of Dukes trivia: In which other episode does Homer Griggs make an uncredited cameo?

1/25 General Lee Build Help
Welcome to HNet, MoonRunner. Andrew D Charger Chaser's My Ultimate General Lee build in 1/25 thread has a couple of pictures of him making the antenna near the bottom of the page. There's also a scratch-built CB, but no close-ups or construction pictures. I don't think Andrew's been around here for a while - hopefully he'll be back soon.
