I want to take over Greenland and keep just the best parts of American and British cuisines, along with a hearty helping of other ethnic foods.

Gimme biscuits, scones, Eton mess, kinder hippos, all the wonderful British confectionery, and Nandos. Nandos above all. *drool*

This is a very funny website. I don't usually care for animated webpages, but this one is clever.

What's wrong with scotch eggs? What's more lovely than a hardboiled egg coated in sausage, breaded and deep fried? Sort of a proto-Egg McMuffin, without the muffin. And tasting better.

Bleurgh.
Egg McMuffin every time.

Cold sausagemeat?
I think there is a whole level of hell where that's all you get to eat.

Cold sausages are DIVINE and don't let anyone tell you any different. I'll have yours, SG!

Sundae 01-14-2011 01:47 PM

Cold sausages and cold sausagemeat are different.
I'm even still ambivilant about cold sausages.
And it took me a long time to stomach cold hardboiled eggs.

I do think Scotch Eggs are a taste I'd be better off not acquiring though.
Like pork pies or deep fried Mars bars.

What is the difference between Branston pickle and Heinz relish?

I thought Cadbury Flake was pretty nice. Actually any chocolate made by Cadbury in England beats the American-branded version (which is really just upscale Hershey's).

How you hold your pinky.

Remember that SG is that odd girl who dislikes [long pause] bananas. Of all things, bananas.

Makes me glad I have a normal palate, really. Burritos al pastor, well sauced; Vegemite; most kinds of chutney; omelettes that include garlic and herbes de Provence w/'shrooms, pizza even unto vegetable with anchovies added, malt Scotch.

Sundae 01-25-2011 01:08 PM

Hey! I eat all of the above mentioned. I am quite normal.
I just can't eat bananas because of my religion.

From the Ten Commandments of Jeremoth, in the Appendix to the Apocrypha:
"And the Lord said unto the children of Bedinibot, `Neither shalt thou eat the fruit of the tree that is known as the Banana Tree'

RichLevy - I've never had Heinz Relish so I can't tell you, except that to me, relish sounds smoother. Branston Pickle (oringinal) is a slightly runny sauce, with large chunks of pickled vegetables in it. You wouldn't be able to buy it in a bottle for example, it comes in a jar and is forked or spooned out.

What an eatdant.

Oh posh posh tally ho, I'd like some prickly pear wtih reduced putney sauce riddled with a modicum of ivy seeds (at just the right ripeness, can't have it overdone, no no tsk tsk) basted in a fine declarative sauce and pierced with the stem of a rare grape found only in the underground vineyards of Tuscany.

You would love to read "Cooking with Fernet Branca"

Shawnee123 01-25-2011 01:43 PM

You always have the best book suggestions! Thanks! :)

For someone who attempts to pass themselves off as an educated gastronome, you totally fucked up here. Burritos al pastor are definitely not British. We eat our vicars with clotted cream, and it's the French who eat donkeys. You're welcome.
