The British (serves 60 million)

Take some Picts, Celts and Silures
And let them settle,
Then overrun them with Roman conquerors.
Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years
Add lots of Norman French to some
Angles, Saxons, Jules and Vikings, then stir vigorously.
[...]

Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians,
lraqis and Bangladeshis together with some
Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese
And Palestinians
Then add to the meliting pot.
Leave the ingredients to simmer.
As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish
Binding them together with English.
Allow time to be cool.
Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future,
Serve with justice
And enjoy.

Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste.

Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all.

soups. To make a dry soup,

a starchy food such as rice, noodles, or

cut-up tortillas is cooked slowly in a soup

broth. Eventually the broth is completely

absorbed by the starch, leaving a "dry"

soup. Dry soups are served as a separate

course before the meat course.
