Now I make sure those slimy little eggs are engulfed in sour cream or butter and I swallow the mess whole then chase it with a beverage. The most important thing is NEVER NEVER bite. If you pop those salty oily eggs in your mouth you will definately hurl!!
This is because we like to feed you your own stereotypes about us. Have you seen Crocodile Dundee? You can live on it, but it tastes like sh*t. The same thing with blinis with caviar. You like to think we like 'em. And don't we all just like reinforcing those idiotic stereotypes? Why? We just love seeing you as charlies, we'd hate it if you wisened up. I'm dead serious about this. This is exactly how many of my countrymen think about it. Behind your backs they often laugh their arses off. Not all of us of course. I, for example, don't. But there are scores of people out there who do.
