I am lost, but it sounds pretty. Would you recommend it for retirement?
Hubby and I are starting to look. We had to postpone it for five more years, but that will be here before we know it!

It would be hard to beat Ashville, NC for a retirement destination.

Nah- Greek or Italian beat it hands down, especially with respect to portion size. I'll let you eat the pigeons...

No offense to Greeks or Italians or the Chinese with their fabulous culinary tradition but French cooking beats em all hands down and if you think French cooking is all about small portions....you've never been to a French Restaraunt.

It's called "Inglorious Bastards". It's supposed to be a WWII version of a spaghetti western. Brad Pitt is one of the stars. Looks good. Should be out in August.

Plot is a group of Jewish American soldiers are dropped behind enemy lines in France to kill Germans.

It all depends on what you are looking for. We moved here from Upstate NY after some research (pre-internet) and comparison with other metropolitan areas between 200,000 and 500,000, no college towns, no resort towns, low crime, good schools, low cost of living, low taxes, lots of sunshine, adequate rainfall, four seasons and a diverse, vibrant economy. When we retire those needs will change. Southwest Virginia may be better for us then because the taxes are lower, the economy isn't great there but that won't matter to a retired couple.

The question doesn't really work. How can anyone say they don't like English food or American, Indian or Chinese? I like the food my Mum cooked and I like the food my missus cooks. I like some Chinese food but prefer northern and Shanghai to Cantonese. I like cod and chips but not haddock. Swiss cheese is lovely but so is English.
Last night I had a Thai beef salad which was to die for, followed by a pork steak and finished off with apple pie and cream. We drank French wine and Chinese beer and all in a French restaurant!
So really this thread is about adults telling each other what they like to eat! Earth shattering stuff, what!
 
Cod and Chips, what a load of pollacks!!
