All but Kaiseki.

About the Indonesian Rijsttafel... that is a Dutch invention:

The Dutch ruled Indonesia, once the richest agricultural region in the world for 320 years. The Moluccas, a part of the Indonesian archipelago, were the original Spice Islands, suppling the entire world with black pepper, nutmeg, mace and cloves. These centuries of Dutch rule left an indelible mark on the country's cuisine.

They are responsible for the Rijsttafel (rice table) which originated with Dutch plantation owners who liked to sample selectively from Indonesian cuisine. It became a kind of tradition, and the Dutch because of their fondness for Rijsttafel, introduced it into the Netherlands. Today, in both Holland and Indonesia, the Rijsttafel is a real culinary pleasure.

Called a forerunner of the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, Rijsttafels, at times featuring more than a 100 dishes, are a great way to sample numerous Indonesian dishes in one meal.

Count me in on traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. The "brunches" I've attended have been not quite breakfast, not quite lunch... sort of quiche like, if you get my drift.

I have been to numerous old fashioned, family type Italian meals.

What is dim sum, I love Chinese food! I might have had it but didn't know the name!

Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, brunch, and probably the Japanese thing as I was over there for a while. I'm not familiar with the word though.

I'll assume that American Thanksgiving dinner is same as what we have in Canada.

I'm not sure if I've had English breakfast, although I have had breakfast in England. What does it entail? Maybe I'll know if I've had it if I know what's in it.
I've never had Indonesian rijsttafel. But I've had Ethiopian dinner (with the big sourdough bread "plate"), Passover seder, Hanukkah dinner, and Japanese breakfast.

Classic english breakfast is eggs, sausages, bacon, tomato and toast... sometimes with beans or mushrooms... all fried.

Dim sum is lots of little dishes... things like steamed pork buns, spring rolls, egg custard tarts, taro dumplings, shrimp balls, rice steamed in lotus leaves, usually served from carts; the staff wheel the cart around and you point at the dishes you want and they mark a card for the price.

I guess I've had that, whether or not it was officially an English breakfast. I've had English breakfast tea a lot--does that count?!

We always ordered "family style" with a lot of everything. I thought dim sum was one specific dish! Boy, do I feel dumb. Shows how long it's been since I've been out to eat Chinese!

American Thanksgiving, Christmas dinner, brunch. In the other category, I like some Indian food.

I think English Breakfast tea only counts if you have it with a lot of fried eggs and pork...  * wink *

I've probably done that. Although I often have English Breakfast tea at non-breakfast times. Very inappropriate of me, I'm sure.

Never had an American Thanksgiving dinner - even though I've probably had the actual food served. Just not on that day (whatever day that is) or for that occasion.

I think it's okay to have Thanksgiving dinner not on Thanksgiving... we're having it next weekend.

Have you heard the new Kate Bush album?  * smile *

I am the shame of the kate bush community. I don't like the new album. But I think it could be a slow grower. I hate 'The Dreaming' when it first came out, and I now love it to bits.

I think that the Pi song is a bit odd... but I like it a lot now.

I love the second disc. The imagery of A Sea of Honey/A Sky of Honey really grabs me...

I'm sure that the Kate Bush community will forgive you eventually... some day... maybe...  * raspberry *
