heywoodu 13,805 Posted November 14, 2020 Author #2282 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Dinner break - Part 1 Canada ends the afternoon session, could those two points they gave to Serbia have sealed the deal? There's only seven voting nations left, meaning there are just 84 points to be earned by a single nation. Only Canada, Malta, India and Ireland have a chance left to catch the Eastern European leaders, although Canada seems to have the only somewhat realistic road to do so. However, it is TISC, and things are never as they seem... We'll take a break from all the action and have ourselves some dinner. For those accustomed to a later dinner, their will be the option to eat after the final session. Again, we have two main options for dinner, one that is definitely Dutch and another that is not specifically Dutch, although some of the things on the side there may be considered to be so. Keep going on, the finish is in sight! We start off with erwtensoep, pea soup, which is also called 'snert' in Dutch. Soup being made from peas is of course not bound to one nation, but since this became a thing in the Netherlands - roughly 500 years ago - a different variety was developed. Snert is significantly thicker than your regular pea soup and includes things like carrots and, most importantly, pieces rookworst - smoked sausage. How does one know whether their snert is thick enough? Well, the saying goes that if the spoon can stand up straight in the soup, you've got it right. Snert is often sold at little kiosks along frozen canals, ponds and lakes for people having fun on the ice, just like hot chocolate. It's very rarely eaten in the summer and is very much associated with winter in the Netherlands. Even most Dutch people will agree it really doesn't look very tasty at all, but oh boy is it good...the thicker, the better! For dinner, we are joined by Normaal, a rock band from Twente in the very east of the country. Singing in their strong dialect, which is often associated with very rural life, they were founders of what became known as 'farmers rock'. Their by far biggest hit is called 'Oerend hard', loosely translated - from the Twente dialect - to 'Very fast'. The song is about two motorcycle riding friends, who've heard of the local motorcross and are racing to get there. Thy're known in the area as fast riders, but one day get hit by a drunk driver and people say they'll never be heard from again...however, at the end, they make a comeback and they're back to riding 'oerend hard'! mrv86, dcro and brunamoura 1 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
