Kerala is a very special place not only in respect of beauty but also in terms of culture and festivals. There are many HOT DOGS that not only offer siteseeing but also to witness the cultural programs and festivals in Kerala. To name a few, Kerala boat race, Attukal Pongala festival, Thrissur Pooram festival, etc. are some of the very famous events which are visited by tourists from far off places. Kerala Boat race or Vallamkali is held in the month of August. Fierce races and water carnivals erupt every year on the backwaters of Kerala. It’s a dramatic spectacle to watch all the boatsmen acting in unison and the immense team spirit among them. They hold the audiences spell bound and amazed. Attukal Pongala festival is the only temple festival in the world where hundreds of women assemble together to cook offer the pudding to the goddess in the Attukal temple. The brightest and the most spectacular festival in Kerala is the Thrissur Pooram festival. It is celebrated in the month of Medom ie during the months of April and May. This festival is a grand assembly of Gods and Goddesses in and around Thrissur. The festival takes place in the Vadakumnathan temple premises where caparisoned elephants are accompanied by grand assemblies of Chenda mela and pancha vadyam (drums and other instruments). The elephants look majestic and the whole setup is a treat to watch. The processions and rituals go on continuously for 36 hours without stopping. A spectacular show of fireworks takes place during this festival.
I know this is a spam thing, but I replaced the advertisement link with HOT DOGS so now it's all cool. We needed a thread to discuss the culture and festivals of Kerala, anyway.
Perhaps Hot Dogs that eat you! I wonder if they also have cats there that can be smelled. Maybe tigers or something, I think there are still some of them alive in India.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of hot dogs. I realize there are parts of the country where that statement will get me lynched, so let me say that will eat bratwurst hot-dog style, I have no problems with corn dogs and I regularly consume what passes for a klobasnek in this part of the world. I actually will eat hot dogs on special occasions, but every time I do, I think of that damn joke my grandmother told me one time. Goes like this: Two guys from India were travelling to New York City. When they got there, they were excited to hear about how you could get hot dogs to eat in America (they came from that part of India where dog meat is considered a delicacy). So on their first day, they found a street vendor and paid for two hot dogs. The vendor took their cash and gave them what they ordered. The two guys looked at their food, then looked at each other. Finally one guy asked the other: "Uh.......what part of the dog did you get?" Damn stupid joke. Racist too.
What? Are they extinct already? @capi3101: That was actually the first time I've seen an American write 'Bratwurst'. I wonder how it is pronounced in English. But I'm sure it sounds funny, maybe almost as funny as an American saying 'Würstchen'. Sometimes I would love to hear you guys talking. Also 'Wurst' is a funny word. I can't properly describe why though. But it can be inherently funny. In much the same way as the English word 'spatula' is hilarious. ...ok, I am weird. In case you didn't know that already.
What the guy who sniffs cats? The thought never crossed my mind...... Can't say about proper spoken English, but in proper spoken Okie we either pronounce it "BRAT-WORST" or "BROUGHT-WORST", depending on what part of the state you're in. And then those with a substantial degree of redness around their necks pronounce it "HOT-DOG"...
Everyone I know over here in England say it in the same way it is said in Germany I do love a good Bratwurst eat them all the time here as well as Frikadellen I miss my time in Germany
Frikadellen are also one of my favourite foods. And a good Bratwurst now and then is something I also like. I wondered if the British like them though, because you are used to this other kind of sausage which is quite different. I don't remember how they were called but when I was in London I ate them with beans in some red sauce IIRC.
that's quite precise. 'wurst' sounds somewhere between warst (like in war) and woorst. So Braht-woorst may be the best fitting transcription. It differs a bit in different German dialects as well. Here in the southwest we say it like 'Brawdwoorshd'.
Sausage chips and beans a meal for winners! and when I say chips I mean Very thick fries lol You will find anyone in the military that has served in Germany loves german food got a friend serving there at the moment will soon be flying over to visit.
Beans and Weiners... that's a bit of a lazy lunch in these parts consisting of hotdogs cooked in with a can of baked beans (don't remember if they're a lima or pinto -cooked in a sweetish either tomato or molasses based sauce). My English backgroud though means that more often you'll find "bangers and mash" on my table. Basically its pork sausage with a side of mashed potatoes. It's my understanding that you're sort of supposed to eat the sausage with mustard - preferably a hot dijon variety, though French's yellow mustand cuts it just fine for me, even if I'm happier with ketchup instead. However, more often than not I subsitute in a nice bratwurst instead of regular plain sausages. I'm not a huge fan of plain sausage.. Breakfast sausages are a bit better.
Bangers and mash with a mustard mash just a tiny bit of good old English mustard which is very hot or some horseradish sauce in it and some onion gravy its magic!
Now this is a sausage topic im going to go off topic quickly to ask what is Kerala? even though im sure sausages are a better topic.
Cool thats all I need to know how about Indian sausages? like a sausage curry? saying that could just have a currywurst something I havent had in years!! I want one now
This could be my new favorite thread no sign of Destroyers we may have had a sneaky cat get in but all in all pretty good
