Post something cool from the Internet -2018

BBQ is different depending on where in USA you are of course.

And grilling is from the bottom.

At least here.

Well, BBQ is more a "concept" rather than an action for me.

Do you mean things like this? That's a gas BBQ.

We call it "en grill".

Wikipedia to the rescue!

In the United States and Canada, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is termed broiling

In the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries and Ireland, grilling generally refers to cooking food directly under a source of direct, dry heat. The "grill" is usually a separate part of an oven where the food is inserted just under the element.[8] This practice is referred to as "broiling" in North America.

Silly 'mericans with their silly words that make no sense.

Many UK words make no sense to me.

American English is more natural for me, due to an avid consumption of The Simpsons.

Doesn't mean that I'm entirely clueless about English English though.

I guess it sounds better than "fried cheese". D:

Or maybe "fried" is like "deep-fried" for 'mericans.

It's pointless to argue about this, as we're all right!

And "hob" is not a word here.

The first part I agree with!

The second part I agree with but also wish it weren't true, cause it's a nice word.

I use "hob" all the time when playing Word Jewels, thanks to VV.

That argument wasn't cool, all of you lose one internet.

Well, at least I have a bunch of internets left.

Here you go.

And people wonder why I don't understand cooking.

 

[thefadedone]

And people wonder why I don't understand cooking.

That's why the microwave was invented. There's nothing to understand except "Put food in microwave. Push START button".

The first part I agree with!

The second part I agree with but also wish it weren't true, cause it's a nice word.

Seriously! We need to adopt the word Hob. Just because it sounds cool.

Play and their mis-pricing has helped me get a few bargains. There was something I was desperate to get but it was £40 to £50 but Play had it for £9.99. So I ordered it. The next day it was listed as being £40. Took me 6 weeks and numerous phone calls but eventually they sent it to me. They were obviously hoping that I would get fed up of waiting and ask for my tenner to be refunded. Hell no!

I saw this on Evolve! campaign's page on Facebook (who by the way are amazing and worth looking up), it's cracking me up!
