Sinbad was Persian and Ali Baba Iraqi!
"Jayzus !" and there was I thinking they were Irish !!.
No they weren't Irish, you must be thinking of the famous explorer Mark O'Polo!
Actually, I had consumed rather a large helping of (properly prepared/cooked/served) 'Hossenpfeffer' just prior to making my gaffe, intoxicated by the alcoholic beverages which accompanied (and were part of the ingredients) of the meal, I made an error in judgement.
I have just been reminded (on viewing your avatar) of the wonderful taste and texture of that meal and do wonder if you would be interested in joining me (in a participating capacity) for dinner on Saturday.
Kindly present yourself a day or two earlier since the process of initial preparations are (as you probably are aware) quite time consuming.
