      Yo soy tonto? Quizas...pero usted es totalmente un gillipolla.... ="I'm stupid? - maybe but you're a total d-head" You really think someone fluent in Spanish doesn't know the correct spelling of Chilli, or Chile???

          He's done that before with my posts.

          He jumps in like Tigger, looking for someone call a village idiot, only to prove yet again that it's him.

            mmm, doesn't seem to mention that in Wiki.

            I like their description of the cherry bakewell shot though

            The Cherry Bakewell shot[citation needed] is a popular alcoholic beverage made from amaretto, cherry liquor and Baileys. A skilled bartender is able to layer the ingredients by pouring the respective spirits over the back of a chilled spoon. The name comes from the similarity in taste to the aforementioned Cherry Bakewell tart.

              The recipe for Cheddar cheese was stolen from Lithuania by some Janners.

                To be honest I regret responding quite so harshly to his post. He can't help it, poor thing!

                    Actually, I think the Italians did do Pizza first, it was just a bit of very thin bread with a light cheesy coating on top. The US just vastly improved it.

                    Update.
                    I was wrong. The Greeks invented it.

                      Anyone mentioned Caesar salad ?

                      It wasn't devised for Julius Caesar or someone, but was invented by a Italian-born Mexican chef called Caesar Cardini.
