    Yup 1537 to be precise

    Medieval times the raiders ran pigs under castles and set fire to them so to evict or eradicate the occupants- nice. As pigs are full of greasy fat they burnt well and so did the castle. They stopped the practice of doing this when they realised the aroma coming from them was delicious smelling, and being soldiers of war needed a good feed.

    The castles located near the sea coasts made the pigs a lot saltier than usual and along with the timber of the day used in castle building ( hickory, Manuka, etc) when burning, those flavours imparted and combined and wahla! ...BACON Hence a lot of castles have survived that fate, oh well truth and a good story.

    So from here on, it is not round in circles at all, but completely off topic

    433 threads referring to 'pommie' . . . Doesn't work both ways, then?

    Pommie comes from the war Prisoners of Mother England ( the bastard added likely by Germans and owners of British bikes with Lucas electrics), Limey comes from when Brit sailors added lime juice to their daily rum ration to help ward off scurvey and that was called "grog", where as Kiwi has no history of interest...it's just a native bird

    You clearly don't know NZ history - the settler POMs were repsonsible for all the negatives in NZ settler history. Modern New Zealanders spontaneously appeared out of thin air and are in no way desendants of any immigrants.

    Oh no, they were deemed unfit to eat by the Jews and the Muslims too.

    If you could not have bacon a few beers and some bloke hacked the end of your todger off you'd be an angry too

    Err, throwaway surrealism doesn't really require comment...
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    These are the big questions.

    Out of all my Maori friends I can't think of one that would rather try insult someone with the subtlety that is implied by believing Pakeha is an insult than just straight up to your face tell you exactly what they think of you, negative or otherwise.

    Step away from the bong.

    That is the mythical Sea Swine, a creature reported by sailors hundreds of years ago.

    The Romans had a type of bacon called petaso 2000 years ago.

    Kiwi's eat a diet of small invertebrates, seeds, grubs, and many varieties of worms.

    So it must be a New Zealander that does this for brekkie

    So where is Old Zealand anyway?

    Zealand

    (a while I was curious about if there was a New Zealand, where the original Zealand was - cause at that point, I'd never heard of it!)
