It is true that the Chinese eat many things that we in the West (and particularly UK) would throw to the dogs.
The UK is unique in Europe, foodwise, in that we eat the only the best cuts.
The French, for example, will eat just about everything, and there is a reason.
Britain has not been invaded for nigh on a thousand years, so our people have not been subjected to vast invading armies eating our food and moving people off the land.
The French on the other hand have had armies of many nations traipse over the countryside on an almost permanent basis, so have had to learn how to cook and eat a lot of stuff that would otherwise be ignored.
(It is the same for many European countries).

I have a Chinese friend that told me that they will eat anything with four legs and fur.
And many other things...

FTFY. Though it was a very English sort of invaision, William of Orange was invited to invade by the military to kick the Catholic James out, who went without much of a fight.

We threw out a mean, tight-fisted jock who ruined the economy and replaced him with David Cameron William of Orange who brought all his Free Drugs and Casual Sex with him.

... And put the rest in sausages (where it's smothered with so much bread that it's never no mind).

And the Chinese don't drink milk?

If you look at this map[^] about the distribution of lactose intolerance around the world, you can see why.

Just proves that they'll eat anything.
As long as it's low lactose paint that is.

Oh, they can drink it, but most will probably not enjoy it. Just think of Chinese food, do you see much use of milk or anything made from milk? Asians are among the people who have some trouble digesting lactose[^]

Can't rather than don't: Lactose intolerance by race[^]. Being able to digest milk properly into adulthood is the result of a mutation, most humans can't, we [Europeans] are unusual in being able to.

That would be a joy!
No, burning him and all his progeny at the stake would be a joy.
Overdubbing would be a compromise.

Actually, they're the most expendable and worthless items I could offer - in other words, they won't be missed. You know what they say about "throwing good money after bad."
Just pretend they're Greek provinces or something like that.

You're fired as negotiator.
North Dakota is a leading oil producing state (producing over a half-million barrels a month) and you just offered it up for free!

Interesting negotiating position. Too sell this to the Scots, I suggest the following ammendments:
(2) and excess 'u's in words. CUs are still permitted.
Fish'n'Chips, although permitted to remain, will be served in a pita. The pita may be battered, then deep fried upon request.
Also if the US formally apologises for Justin Beiber, that would sweeten the deal. I know he's Canadian, but I think the whole continent should apologise formally.

Apologise no. Black Ops - yes.
