Charles said to be adopting ‘anti-confrontational approach’ to republican campaigners before visit

King Charles has said he will not stand in the way if Australia wishes to replace him as the country’s head of state, it has been reported.

Ahead of his visit later this month, the king is said to be adopting an “anti-confrontational approach” to Australian republican campaigners, the Daily Mail reported.

      Lots of fun! A few notes though.

      1. The host: “you halved it like a scone.” Someone not splitting it would give you that girl’s gif look around here. That’s what you do.
      2. The kids are right. Definitely better than scones.
      3. The gravy by itself is fucking awesome. That’s why it tastes just as good on chicken.
      4. It’s not what the British think of when they say sausage. It’s closer to Mexican chorizo because it’s spicier and ground up (not as spicy as chorizo though).
      5. The chicken thing is called, and I have no idea why, ‘chicken fried steak’ and it’s not just a Southern thing and the breading they’re using on the chicken looks wrong.
      6. It’s not “Southern tea,” it’s “sweet tea” and it’s nasty. You can have unsweetened ice tea. It’s much better. I grew up on proper English tea, so that’s what I prefer. Hot with milk and a bit sweet.
      7. DON’T EAT IN THE LIBRARY YOU PHILISTINES!

        I am American by the way. That said, what sausage are you using in your gravy? I have personally never had a spicy version. Why only steak is referred to as chicken fried, instead of everything dipped in batter and deep fried, I have no idea. And I’m only mildly interested, so I probably wont look into it. I will keep eating it though.

          Really? It’s always a bit spicy up here. Not like Mexican spicy or even close. Just noticeable heat.
