They mean the baby goat “kid” not a human child… but still why specify it was a female!?

It’s really written “Slice of roasted goat leg, W/ broccoli, garlic and oil with roasted potatoes” the “corada” is few roasted.

Either google “Donner party,” or, easier still, read the posts above. In this Information Age, there is no excuse for ignorance.

sorry about typo in last post. Coradas, not Dorados means ruddy, blushing, stained (reddish), ashamed etc

By: jack

jack — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:01:00 +0000

Googled batatas coradas. Got a recipe in Portugese, roasts ordinary potatoes in tomatoes until stained red. Doradas has several associated meanings including ruddy (as in complexion), blushing, hence ashamed, also fresh. But clearly meaning is stained.

Yes, it’s a joey. And it’s a kangaroo. And it is customary to end sentences with a period. But thanks for sharing!

Ain’t it “joey”? Or have folks from the Land Down Under been yankin’ my chain? Not yanking in the biblical sense, of course.

I am really surprised so many of the folks around here (many of whom seem to be intelligent and educated) had never heard of the Donner party. Those who are not American I can certainly give a pass to, since this was an event in American history, but it gets referred to so often in so many media I’m amazed an American wouldn’t know this.

Didn’t someone ream my whitetail out (Get it? Buck? Whitetail? *snort*) about this forever thing a day or two ago?

Plus, you don’t swear off Engrish Funny, you swear on Engrish Funny. Not too much to be obnoxious or wearying, but enough to spice it up a little. Who, after all, likes bland cannibal jokes?

I have calmed down from yesterday. I guess it just baffles me if someone implies I’m ignernt when they don’t know a dang thing themselves.

This wouldn’t apply to Dahmer anyway; he didn’t eat females, he preferred males pretty exclusively.

Donner is German for “thunder”, thought I’d point that out, too, and the reindeer hitched up next to him happens to be named the German word for “lightning”, Blitzen. Coincidentally, I rekkin’.

Ok…..,
Obviously, since I noticed your historical memory doesn’t go back very far, I shall explain. The Donner Party (and yes, that is the correct spelling) was a party of settlers, men, women and children, heading for California in 1846. They tried to cross the Sierra Nevadas through a pass too late in the season, got caught in blizzards and very deep snows, a good number of the party died and some of those who lived ate the corpses.

A little note to Lady Pavarti and Worrier Princess: if you come to this site to comment you better know your cannibalism. For example, if someone writes in the title a joke about an Uruguayan rugby players and cannibalism, I would suggest reading the book Alive! by Piers Paul Reid. Or see the movie, if you have a short attention span. Though there is no substitute for the one gentleman in the book explaining in good detail his eating brains fresh out of the skull.

There actually were events that occurred prior to say 1990 (including Dahmer, who got his start in 1978.) Thank God you didn’t show up in the comment section of the entry with Hoover in the title, since you’d kingly inform us in ALL CAPS that Hoover was a vacuum cleaner. Sorry, but he was President of the US way back in the Paleolithic era, late 1920’s to early 1930’s, until the occurrence of the Great Depression way back in the Neolithic area.

Ok…. now…. So no, neither the title writer nor the rest of us commentators are complete morons who need to be saved from our ignorance. Just Had To Point That Out…………………………

Grrrrrr……. sorry folks, my morning coffee has worn off so I’m off for a refill.

I belive the translator tried to put ashamed potatoes, and added another potatoe, but somehow cut the tatoe. And it seems to be pretty tasty, yeah!

yes, “kid” does mean young goat. it literally says “part of a kid’s [young goat] leg baked in the oven. served with broccolli, garlic and oil and blushed [i suppose that means roasted] potatoes”.
i supposed the ashamed ashamed po bit has to do with the “blushing”

My daughter, though she is far from perfect, has been blessed with an utterly unprejudiced outlook towards people of all kinds. She has a good friend who had a birth condition that led to unequal development of her legs. My daughter one day burst out with, “I think it’s so cool that Emily has two different legs!” Later I cautioned her that the girl may have been sensitive to her condition being mentioned, but I felt proud that rather than shunning or ridiculing another kid for her different-ness, my girl found it a reason for admiration.

You know Batatas coradas is just potatoes so I can maybe understand a translating software maybe accidentally cutting off tatoes from potatoes and getting po but what confuses me is the ashamed ashamed

By: Ellie

Ellie — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:25:58 +0000

Yeah, it’s the “ashamed ashamed po” that had me asking what the crap. The female kid is easy to get, if you know anything about goats.
