Ginger Meggs by Jason Chatfield for March 02, 2010

what? NO STARTER?!

Yes.

Maybe Fitzzy could give me some clues on using a microwave. All I achieve is red hot rissoles on the outside and still frozen in the centre.

does it actaully say “starters” on menu’s in Australia & UK?

what’s wrong with the perfectly good french origin: appetizers.

Most of the restaurants in Australia seem to use the word entrée (pronounced ON-tray in American English) (French, literally meaning entry or entrance) - ref. Wikipedia.

usfellers is spot on - entrée is the generally used term, but different restaurants use different terms.

Some use ‘starters’ or ‘appetisers’ (spelt with an English UK ‘s’)

His dessert will be delivered after the main course, Ginger.

dessert ?

all they ever had in the cafeteria was green or orange jello or a fruit cup

You got fruit????

Where in the world is Juggie when you need him?

I’ll take the can of tuna. Beats the lousy lunch I just had! :-0

Fitzzy’s lunch sounds delicious.

As for Benny’s old can of tuna, I’ve got cans of tuna in my pantry dating back to 2000 (marker written) and they all taste fine once opened.

@JASON, I hope you see this! I just went and read the entire history of Ginger Meggs! WOW!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE! I guess if I was to compare it to one of our American strips it would have to be “Blondie and Dagwood”, for the history and age, and perhaps some small similar story lines Keep the strip going Jason!!

It is quite a history - Ginger turns 90 next year, making it the longest running comic strip Character in the world.
