Could you pass as a Canadian

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

6/10..I guessed that Newfoundland was The Rock. I knew what a Parka is because we Brits imported the idea and in the 1960s it became a fashion for scooter-riding Mods, i.e. Lambrettas and Vespas, as a hooded jacket. However I thought that a loonie, apart from an insane person (lunatic) was a water fowl...now I know it is a coin that has the bird on one side! That comestible sounds intereseting...our Belgian friends gave us chips with mayonnaise, and because curry is our national dish, we have chips in curry sauce! Chips in gravy I believe is a Northen English delicacy? I like chips and [Chinese] pancake or spring rolls...in student days our nearest Chinese takeaway made over 80 rolls a day!

And yes I gather that a French priest invented chips in the early 19th Century by frying potatoes in order to feed the poor. Hence French Fries! And our French cousins make some darn beautiful ones with French pommes de terre, thinly sliced and deep-fried in French oil, served up with a nice Dandelion plant salad (pis en lit).
