Didn't we talk about this the whole time? Is it my fault you have such bad fantasies? :P

ok, we are on the same page ;)

Wow, that yerba mate looks just a bit strange to me, too tiny. Maybe it has some mix with some fruit, citric or something. Here is a pic that I've took a year ago with my purchase at JJgames and my "mate" ^^ Regular mate without sugar.

What do you mean by tiny? Too ground up? It's just a random picture to show all the elements together, most pictures I found didn't show the cup properly, or didn't show the water, this is the only picture that showed everything.

Whoa, the drink come with free N64 games?
I'll take 3.

It is one of the "acts" of the bullfights. They still do the capes and sticking pointy things while on horseback. I never saw a sword, but I do think they use something to hold the cape straight — it could be a sword.

As for the purpose, I think it is just for some stupid ego-related reasons. I really see no appeal in it, so I "don't get it".

Those are my thoughs on it. Don't cows sleep laying down, like most land mammals?

Our house cows in the stable, yes. In the wild/open slightly different. There they might sleep standing up as a method of being able to escape quicker when being hunted. You don't remember the good old animal series from Walt Disney (IIRC)? Nowadays it is considered to brutal for kids ;)

Yup. It's horses that sleep standing up, and if you tried tipping one of those, you'd get a swift kick to the head. Possibly more.

The celebration of in Portugal has evolved over time. The more traditional regions include costumes (such as [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Carnaval_de_Podence_2008_17.jpg] these or these), rituals and some kind of pranks.

However, in the last decade and a half I have noticed that people have started to copy the Brazilian carnival, with undressed ladies dancing samba on top of vehicles. The problem is that on Brazil it is summer, while in Portugal Carnival happens during winter! It often rains that day! Yet, they still go ahead with it!

For more information: Carnival in Portugal section in Wikipedia.

Could be what the French call "Waterzoi" ( actually from Flemish, Waterzooi ) http://chefsimon.lemonde.fr/gourmets/chef-simon/recettes/waterzoi-de-poisson . Something you'd reasonaly expect to find in the Lille area ( although I'd rather link that recipe with Gent, in Belgium/Flanders )

I've been to Canada numerous times. A lot of Canadians say "about" differently from Americans but it usually sounds more like "a boat" than "a boot".

Some redneck chick at a bar asked me, "Why are you White?" when I told her I had moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was kind of taken aback. It's amazing how many people don't know that New Mexico is part of the US. I thought everybody had seen Breaking Bad or any UFO movie ever.

Looks great!

But no, it wasn't.

The bowl which was used, (ok not really matching, but the closest I was able to find in the moment) looks like this. Rather big bowl. The colour of the soup went into direction of Bouillabaisse. But whenever I tried Bouillabaisse it was a different taste and just served in small bowls.

And I might try this recipe (and by the way, if you say it is a Flemish recipe, why is it on a French site? :-O ;) )

I guess you could easily find a recipe for fajitas in German ;-) Here however there is also a common background, plus geographical proximity.

nb : Flanders was cut in half as a result of the Spanish succession war. The southern part was taken over by France, whereas the northern part became part of the Austrian Netherlands, nowadays Belgium. The Lille area is "Flandres françaises".

Provence - style soup is another possibility. It's quite widespread. An example : http://www.dille-kamille.be/fr/content/2808/soupe-de-poisson

I still have somewhere another side, less disturbing stuff, have to check for it again ;)

And they still don't like each other ;) One of those feuds which will be never over.
Will never forget, I was on the way from Germany to France, stopping at a petrol station in Belgium/Flandre, greeting in French and asking politely if she speaks French (my dutch is even worth ;) ). Yes she did. At the same time the typical french barked into the shop and without greeting or asking, just started shouting his question in French.
For sure, she didn't understood suddenly a word of French anymore ;) Made me use my little bit of dutch I knew (she was able to see my number plate and guessed I would understand at least a little bit) ;)

Yes, they love each other ;)

Sounds better than the other one! Bit of Garlic, some piment.....But Gambas as traditional? :-O

EDIT:

Found the other one:
