 |
|
Saw an ad for this in the International Express for mail order.
Tried google ---narrows it down to food. If food , why has no-one ever mentioned it on those "foods I miss from home" threads?
I know along with the answer there will be hilarity.
Let me nip it in the bud
1) It's a bar in Itawan
2) Its a 1970's skin flick.
ha ha , so funny.
Serioulsy after blood pudding I thought I'd heard it all.
Thanks in advance. |

| A faggot is a small meatball made from, pork, onions and herbs. I'm not sure why Americans use that word to describe homosexuals. |

That is one of the meanings but I looked it up out of curiosity and the word is derived from another source according to Wikipedia:
"fagging was the name given to the practice where a younger boy (a "fag") acted as an unpaid servant for an older boy."
Also, "Originally confined to the United States, the homosexual sense of "fag" and "faggot" has been spread by American popular culture to other English-speaking countries, where it has partly displaced terms such as "queer" or the British "poof" as colloquial or abusive terms for gay men, particularly among heterosexual youth. However, the continuing use of "fag" and "faggot" with other meanings in the British isles has severely limited adoption of the American usage there.
The use of fag and faggot as the term for an effeminate man has become understood as an Americanism in British English, primarily due to their use in films and television series imported from the United States. "
I would try a lot of British foods since I'm pretty openminded but a lot of British names for things turn my stomach. When I was younger, I thought of a pool full of livers whenever I heard the city of Liverpool mentioned so that alone deterred me from ever wanting to visit Britain.  The British need to pimp their stuff to the rest of the world. The food can't be as bad as it sounds although I've heard even Brits don't like some of their own food. Not to knock the British though because Americans have some nasty food names too. |

Some English recipes on this website which I've used and tried to cook over the years. Traditional dishes like those are rare these days with only a minority of the population keeping it going, with the exception perhaps of Sunday roasts (beef, lamb or chicken). My mother and grandmother taught me how to cook a good Sunday roast. Fine dining in the UK has been colonized by continental Europe, India and China. |

Cool, I will add that link to my favorites! I think I'll make some Bubble & Squeak tonight with a side of Bashed Neeps and Stump. For dessert, it will be Singing Hinnies and Spotted Dick. |

"Pork" isn't nearly descriptive enough. Traditional recipes called for all the grisly bits that they now put in dog food. Heart, spleen and "lights" which is the butchery term for lungs. |

If that's true, then I really don't want to know what a Toad In The Hole is. |
