>Stories are told that the so-called First Thanksgiving feast, thrown by the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, featured no turkey but did have eel on the menu.

I understand that the eels went particularly well with the popcorn. It is such a shame that the tradition was dropped, it would be great going to buy some eels and popcorn on the way into the cinema. Of course, you still can in the East End of London http://www.pilot.co.uk/NewFiles/PFood_Eel.html

By the way, I thought that the Australians thought that we'd sent the wretched refuse of our teeming shore to them. Didn't the pilgims leave our ungodly isle of their own accord?
