Serious? Please explain....

I've tried it. But I've also eaten grasshoppers, spiders, various bugs, balut (duck foetus egg) and a stack of other food many people wouldn't even try.

When in other countries I've always been open to eating what the locals eat.

I've had KFC once, and that's enough for me. Greasy, terrible food.

If I am going to eat anything that greasy and fatty I'll have fish and chips. If I want to eat chicken I can't think of a worse option than KFC.

I've tried it once, and will probably never eat it again. Each to their own but I can't understand why anyone would eat that shit.

If you haven't experienced the multispiced mouse, youve never enjoyed the original recipe.

Thats is all they served mid-80s.

I think they were actually fined for this from distant memory. I have no problem with eating mouse btw, they BBQ it in Vietnam and you know exactly what you are eating.

It is 100x better than KFC.

Eating mouse is 100 x beter than KFC?
Yeah, nah.

Yeah, nah.

Yeah, yeah it is. And it isn't served in a bucket.

I've had both, and one is far better.

Anyone remember those submarines pizza hut used to make when it was a sit in restaurant?

Best thing ever as a kid. Apart from the "lasagne" my local wogshop used to make with pizza ham. Tied for eternity.

(term "restaurant" used loosely)

There is lot of chicken. Huge amounts of chicken.















in warehouses rotting, cause delivery systems failed and they can’t get it to restaurants

You can always sell it next year mate...

I think it's about doing it BBL style where you just have new Adelaide/Perth/Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane teams and then sign players from any side in the AFL. Ignoring the fact that the top stars in the world don't play BBL and i'm sure not many of the top stars of the AFL would give a shit about playing AFLX.

They play IPL because they get paid millions of dollars to do it, but AFLX guys don't get a cent extra.

The AFL don't seem to understand that cricket is a dying game and T20 is the only form.of the sport that has grown. The AFL is not in that position.

The AFL does not need a condensed version of the game as it is a great TV product already. Cricket needed T20 in this regard as Test cricket and One Dayers are not great to package for TV.

T20 is also fundamentally the same game. Just less overs which makes it more conducive to the batsman scoring quick. There are few significant rule changes compared to a One Dayer. The scoring is the same, the oval is the same, there are six ball overs, the style of play us fundamentally the same. That is the big reason it works.

I think the place for AFLX is more as a social game as it is more akin to Indoor Cricket than T20.

It's not for Australian audiences though. They keep talking about sending it to China and Hong Kong, which is why I can't understand why they want AFL players involved. Only ex-pats are going to have any idea who they are.

It'll end up being like what Carl Baron said when I say him a few weeks ago. Went all the way to London to do a show and the only people who turned up were Australians.

I can see it working overseas. But also agree that even then it will just be for expats.
I really don't understand the facination with growing the sport overseas. To me that is wasted resources when we see local and country leagues shrinking and clubs merging.

Not to mention it is not even the biggest sport in our country's biggest or fastest growing cities. Let's conquer Sydney and Brisbane before actively growing the game overseas

I think the more pertinent point is 'how good would it be for Sloane and Dangerfield to play together'. Well they did and most of the media couldn't wait for them to be in different teams.

Yes, I noticed that too & just chose to ignore it given they already have played together.

Many years ago I knew a guy who said he had a Kentucky Fried Mouse in his take home pack. He took it back and they denied all knowledge of it. He swore it was a true story - I'm not sure it was but haven't been there since just in case

This is two blocks from where I grew up: http://www.wbaltv.com/article/popeye-s-draws-scrutiny-after-man-finds-mouse-in-chicken/7042914

I interpret that to mean "How good would it be to have Sloane and Danger in the same Victorian team"

Great news! SA now has an official tartan.

It features, of course, the colours red, gold and blue

Still great hangover food, that's it's main purpose IMO.

If you want to eat chicken, you should be eating fried chicken with an onion sauce and waffles

An octopus with only six arms, it's a cheap knock off of the real thing. Like Port is a knock-off of the real thing... Adelaide.

I think that's an important development for our state.

I'd also like us to have an official pokemon and declare our favourite colour.

What do you mean "used" to be a restaurant?
