Grandparents?

No, they all live near me and give me my presents when I see them in person.

I did find a lead though: the invoice said "Ebay" on it, so I found the company's ebay store, found the specific socks I got, and found that the latest order in the order history matched the order date on the invoice (December 20th). I don't think I can trace it any further though.

Came back from a canoe trip, I climbed up a small mountain, went into the coldest stream I've ever felt, and flipped in the first 20 minutes. All in all an interesting experience.

Is 'spaz cuber' an acceptable Youtube handle these days? It sounds more 1976 than 2016. When PC meant Police Constable, and Personal Computers, and Political Correctness didn't exist.

Haha, I just thought of a youtube username. It's very corny but its better than xyCuber. (I do wish I did something other than cuber, maybe I'll change it in the future.)

I might change it to spazguy, I may upload non-cubing stuff on there soon so it might be more fitting.

Are there any other nations that have awful food signature dishes?

It's one thing saying you don't like our fish and chips but it's another to label them awful for your question. There's no such thing as an awful dish, only personal preference and the very fact that a dish is a signature dish suggests it is very popular and much loved so the question kind of contradicts itself. I personally love fish & chips, with plenty of salt, no vinegar, scraps and perhaps some Heinz ketchup. I also like battered sausage and chips and a nice deep fried chicken leg quarter and chips, yummy. If the chips are done too fresh they can be a bit potatoey so the trick is to keep them warm but leave them 5 mins before you eat them. Unlike USA style fries our chip shop chips are much thicker and usually quite soft and stodgy which adds to their deliciousness. I love all chips / fries apart from some I had from an Indian takeaway once.

Top dietary advice there from Tony !!

Reminds me of a quote from my far-from-ideal neighbours:
The entire family + dog left their house, heading for the nearby shops, and the mother of the family was heard to loudly say to her son: "Errr, Steven, why are you eating an apple when you know we're going to the Chip Shop???"

Proper chips should be eaten with mushy peas and gravy, straight from the polystyrene.

We have those kinds of fries here, we just usually call them steak fries and they usually still have the potato skin. A signature dish from where I live? In the American Midwest, we have lots and lots and lots of corn, wheat, and soybeans as crops. I guess we do eat a lot of corn, since most cookouts I've been to we throw a couple of ears in the husk on the grill, and then put on some butter and salt and pepper. In Indiana at least we eat a lot of tomatoes, so a nice home grown tomato on a BLT in the late summer is certainly delicious. We also have fried tenderloin, which is apparently unique to the Midwest. Much of the cuisine around here comes from the south, so there's a lot of old recipes for fried chicken, cornbread, coleslaw, grits, and other things like that.

I do that and I was raised in the south (though I don't do mushy peas)

Bleh polystyrene. come to the proper south (aka new zealand). Newspaper wrapped chips. No gravy or peas to be seen

Yes newspaper was the best but they stopped doing that in the UK for some reason. It always had a sheet of clean paper to start with so no idea why.
