Killer of giants? You know the battle between David and Goliath, in which everyone expects the big one sweeping the floor with the small one. :-)

Oooooh! In Canada we call them "reuzend<u>oo</u>ders" with the two "o"s. Now I'm with you.

OK, but who's going to win the Euro 2004? I put my money on Greece.

I do too. Arthur, go get some Lunenburg sausage from Victor Greek for you Sunday brunch. In the late 1800s a ship of immigrants from Athens to New York crashed on the Nova Scotia coast and they just decided to stay. No one could pronounce their names so they became "Joe the Greek", etc., and with some families it stuck and became the surname. Apparently it is exactly the recipe found in one province of Greece. If you are in Halifax you can go to the Spartan at the corner of Oxford and Quinpool for mousakka. I think I will skip the retsina but it will be all blue and white...except for my Portugal jersey...at our house. A more deserving pair of teams I could not have imagined. Those with nothing to lose against the home team. Should be good.

...Lunenburg sausage...
Isn't that also called Lunenburg Pudding??

I think it is called pudding when loose and sausage in a coil. Same stuff. Good good stuff.

Aha! So that was what my better-half was eating a couple of months ago.

lunenburg sausage and pudding are not the same thing. you eat the "pudding" with crackers or bread as a type of pate that you do not need to cook. "sausage" needs to be cooked (boiled off and fried)and is best eaten with mashed potatoes, mashed turnip and mustard pickles (in my opinion!!).
we always buy ours from victor greek's in bridgewater, nova scotia. it's delicious and always freshly made!
enjoy!!

Tell Victor to start selling it on the internet for shipment to Ontario.
