It appears my sister is a bit on the dense side. Or maybe more than 'a bit' & more like 'quite a lot'!
This is the (recently turned) 18 year old sister.
A few weeks ago she told me she wanted to buy some of this bread she'd tried & the conversation went like this;
Strop; I had this lush bread the other day. I'm going to buy some.
Me; Oh, what bread was it?
Strop; Ermmm, panny bread I think it is? Yeah, definitely panny bread.
Me; What bread?
Strop; Panny bread. Haven't you heard of it?
Me; Erm, no.
Strop; Yeah, you know! That bread that they make those sandwiches with in Subway? They do the sandwich & then they grill it.
Me; OH! You mean Panini?!
Strop; Oh, is it called Panini?! I wondered why the Subway man gave me a funny look when I got my lunch the other day.
Me; *shakes head & grins* And Strop, Panini isn't a type of a bread, it's a grilled sandwich. You need Ciabatta bread.
I mean honestly, panny bread!
And that's not all sadly... She came into my room earlier & was very adamant that she wanted to buy some peripherals.....
Strop; I'm going to Asda next week. Will you come?
Me; I don't know. Maybe.
Strop; I really want to go, please come? Anyway, they've got peripherals for a pound a box.
Me; Peripherals? *confused look*
Strop; Yeah, you know those things that are filled with cream?
Me; ????
Strop; Oh you know! They're little balls that are filled with cream & they've got chocolate caps on?
Me; You mean Profiteroles?
Strop; Oh. Well the lady on the advert called them peripherals!
Me; *stops giggling* I'm sure she didn't Strop. I think it's more like your 'problem' rearing it's head again.... She's hardly likely to call Profiteroles 'peripherals' now is she? Especially on National TV.
Strop; She might! *goes red & laughs like a hyena*
I don't know if this problem of hers is exclusive to Foriegn food or just food in general but I am not going grocery shopping with her!
