What seemed weird when I visited your country
Barmymoo:
That reminds me of something which I found weird whilst in my own country (I KNOW I'M CHEATING OK). I was at an animal centre and we were looking at the lynxes. A couple of women arrived with their children who were between about 5 and 10 years old. The women kept saying "look at the kitties! Do you like the kitties?" and I just didn't understand why they thought the word lynx was harder than the word kitty. Why not tell them the name of the animal?!
Method of Madness:
Kitty is not inaccurate, it's just not specific.
Barmymoo:
It just seemed really weird not to at least say "Look at the kitty! It's called a lynx!".
GarandMarine:
I love kitties, even giant murder kitties!

--- Quote ---Oh yeah pancakes in America are totally different. What we call a pancake in Norway at least is a lot thinner, kind of like a crepe but not really. You have it for dinner, usually you put blueberry jam or just plain sugar on it, and roll it up. Before pancakes you have something else, pea soup is pretty common.

You mean lefse, or is this something completely different?
--- End quote ---
Completely different. Lefse is served cold, and isn't necessarily sweet.
