As are the much more suggestive sounding \"crumpets\" which are a not
dissimilar recipe but only cooked on one side and rather holey.

We love crumpets but they are hard to find here. Ikedas in Auburn has
them so we stock up when we pass through there.
There must surely be a British shop in somewhere the size of San
Francisco. I recall there were a few \"British\" and \"Irish\" pubs.
Recipe isn\'t that difficult if you are inclined to DIY.
Camelot, on the crumbling cliffs of Pacifica (look for drone vids of
Pacifica on Youtube) is a proper fake British bar. The fish and chips
are optionally oysters and chips.
My British friends who are now US expats invariably demand to go to the
chippy when they visit the UK - something they can\'t easily get at home.
Not seen any of them since lockdown started.

Do you have curly fries in Olde England? Civilization is greatly
diminished without curly fries.

We have something called curly fries. Are they what you mean?

They look like and about as appealing as worms to me!
Or do you mean what we would call crinkle cut chips (which were all the
rage in the 1970\'s here as I recall). Chunky ones and thin cut ones are
more common now. I can\'t recall when I last saw them crinkle cut.

A few places here do proper french fries, skinny and crispy and served
in a fancy metal cone thing lined with newspaper.

They seem about 4 days late with their April fools joke! OTOH
Google searches suggest they might be serious.
Polariton based QM memristors are one of the front runners for
a viable memristor.
https://journals.aps.org/prapplied/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.17.024056
And a lot of false dawns too eg. :
https://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.5042281
Reminds me of a book that a friend won in a raffle entitled:
\"The Magic of Honey\" by Barbara Cartland
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Honey-Barbara-Cartland/dp/0552103365
Every bit as bad as her trashy novels.
It\'s good in tea, and apparently a decent treatment for burns
and bed sores. Good on English muffins.
Surprisingly it is extremely good for certain skin damage as the
very high sugar content osmatic pressure acts as a non-specific
sterilising agent against some otherwise almost intractable wound
infections.
ISTR they concentrate and purify it for this particular use. There
are traces of natural bee related antifungals and antibiotics in it
too.
Do they have English Muffins in England? Sort of like Canadian
Bacon in Canada. And French Fries.
\"French\" fries came from a Francophone region of *Belgium*.
Half of Larkin\'s posts sound like they were written by the village
idiot. Discussing Honey used in memristors and this guy starts
talking about English Muffins. BTW, that term has a very different
meaning in England.
We don\'t call them \"English\" muffins but they are a breakfast
staple. particulalry in the colder months.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/english_muffins_56640
Thomas\' is the iconic brand here, widely available. \"Fork split.\"
One of our favorites is fried shrimp on a English muffin. With kettle
chips or tater tots.
In the UK, shrimps are ~6cm long, and the edible bit fits on the last
joint of your thumb. Prawns are ~9cm. Both are delicious
https://britishseafishing.co.uk/brown-shrimp/
https://britishseafishing.co.uk/prawn-and-shrimp-species/
The only difference between shrimps and prawns is the 1:3 price ratio.
The $7 a pound shrimps at Safeway are actually pretty good. Probably from
Viet Nam or something.
Larger still are Dublin bay prawns (scampi, langoustine).
The enormous tropical prawns aren\'t worth eating, IMHO.
The bigger they are, the easier to peel and the less flavor.
That is simply BS. I cook shrimp all the time and the best shrimp are not
frozen, which here typically means gulf shrimp. I\'ve had frozen gulf shrimp
and they are not as good. I have never seen any correlation of size to
taste. But then I don\'t buy the super colossal shrimp. I usually throw in
the towel at colossal or my favorite is extra jumbo (16/20 cnt).
The ones from the Gulf of Mexico are best. They snack on oil spills and
Mississippi river silt.
The key to boiled shrimps is Zatarains.
https://www.amazon.com/ZATARAINS-Shrimp-Liquid-Concentrated-8-Ounce/dp/B088F1XSNX/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3BBG4026BBKKT&keywords=zatarains+crab+boil&qid=1649270102&sprefix=zata%2Caps%2C264&sr=8-5
I actually knew old man Zatarain when I was a kid. Crazy old coot by
then.
Boiling shrimp is ok, but grilled with a special seasoning blend is much
better. I recently had offers of sex for my shrimp. lol
It\'s kind of funny that Puerto Rico doesn\'t have much in the way of spicy
food. It\'s actually pretty bland. Lost of plantains.
Did you bother to read my post?
BTW, Martin,
Do you have a copy of your PHYS362 notes page handy? It\'s nowhere to be
found on the web, even on archive.org. I\'m going through old sci.optics
posts for the new book, and IIRC you said it had everything about all
kinds of dispersive spectrometers.

I can\'t find my own old post about this but I suspect you mean the JMU
astronomy instrumentation course PHYS362. This one?
https://www.astro.ljmu.ac.uk/~dfb/teaching.html#past_years
It must be a decade or so since I wrote about that. If you need it
quickly you are best off asking the lecturer who wrote it. Link above.
If you can point me at my own Usenet post it will give me an idea of the
date range to look and more importantly the filename!
I might have a copy squirrelled away on my (N-3)rd desktop but at the
moment it is doing a good impression of a Norwegian blue parrot.
To be fair there are no warning beeps on boot but it outputs no video
signal at all and refuses to connect to the network. However, my recent
move to FTTP and new router on a different subnet may explain that.
Firewall running on the old XP machine is very aggressive and paranoid.
It hasn\'t been switched on for a couple of years now...
Does anyone know of an very elementary discussion and working
principles of echelle monochromator as a review article/ website as
how the order sorter works and how the spectrum is obtained in a two
dimensional way. I have a chemistry background, most websites are
either too technical company advertisments. Google images for a simple
diagram of an echelle monochromator, leads to mostly astronomy
webpages. I am interested in its applications in atomic spectroscopic
analysis.

I\'m not sure now but I think the guy who put that page together may have
been David Bersier at Liverpool JMU. Contact details below.

If you drop him a line he might be able to help you or point you at
whoever did create that old web page on the various spectroscopy
techniques. His webpage says he taught PHYS362 so there is a chance.
If I do find my copy I\'ll drop you a line privately, but I\'m afraid the
odds are stacked against it if it was a web URL. PDFs I usually download
and keep but I only scrape webpages if I expect to need it again.
